NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 39 - How big is yours?

Forum divided on who to play at 5th CTR, Koula or Tass..

my tv broke wrote:Random info:-

Of the current top 100, the lowest ranked team after round 1 was in 15566th - "A Bunch Of Hunt’s". There are 5 teams in the top 100 that were outside 10,000 after round 1.

"Ziggyteam" was ranked 8878 after round 3 (in the 14000s after round 1) and is now ranked 96. No other team in the top 100 right now was outside of 4000th after round 3.

Random never posts anymore, to good for us

Where did Cotter play his minutes last week? He was named at Prop, but I assume he played elsewhere during the game, and Robson also played 80?

Tass was battling out there against Manly last week, not too keen on him against Staggs. He's an improvement over Paulo and Milne granted, but my 81 year old nan would be too

I'm going with Tass. Only two games but you could argue he's in try scoring form! As long as he's not marking Staggs he should go well.
Neither Ilias nor Koula have strung two good scores together so they're not exactly screaming to be included.

He’s on Staggs. Tass is a pretty good defender though.

Was gonna play Koula but now he has Covid or the flu I’m worried.

Bit of a random one but with Mann Jones & Fifita injured I’m short a edg & a mid (have jtb in reserves)
I’m going Fifita to crighton
Jones to Dufty

Tago goes to edge

Dufty is looking more involved plays Rd 13 and hoping for a 40 pt avg to get some price rises along the way

Better hope frawley doesn't play out of his skin the next couple weeks either

Clarity. Post more.

Thanks mate haha,do you think a trade of Lee to Tass is worth it for the potential upside? Lee is just there as a last resort,don’t even feel comfortable playing him as a loop and I already have Koula there as WFB cover. I could use Tass in a loop tonight and have Koula as stand by if he doesn’t do well. Hell I’d even probably play Vailea over Lee atm the way the Knights are going. What’s your take?

I think Lee has been overrated and only useful as a cashout.
As a Knights fan I'd be loathe to keep any of them (except Randall for tackle-bot scores).
NB. I traded him to get Talakai. (Only Knights players I have are Thomson & Ponga)
I think Tass is a better option, but, how many trades have you banked?
It's still a sideways trade of one cheapie to the next.

I would go Cotter also,just loves the way he plays and he just seems to have a game built for Fantasy. There is merit in both though. I’ve been tossing up Ilias to Elliot also but then it would leaves me with 3 Canberra players in my 14-17  

Dan skipping food today on his break in order to post a few

Love the dufty move- bold as fuck

No idea if it pans out well but why not

Will have 21 left if I go through with the Lee to Tass trade,just think that Tass will at least make cash(famous last words) whereas Lee is just sitting there collecting dust

With Haas out my 14-17 is pretty gross. Need to trade Sexton but whoever comes in at 487 or less may not do any better than the guys below him.

Dylan Walker is tempting but Manly look a bit stronger this week, not sure what mins he plays?

Tass is a fairly gross option imo but with a low BE it may be worth the punt to put some cash aside.

This week is not great for Tass, but next 3 opponents after this are Warriors, Raiders and Tigers, so there's definitely upside in him there

I'm surprised the Haas trade out hasn't gained more legs. Prior to the news today, he's got an injury which has affected his last two games and is now taking a break.. i doubt he'll be bullet proof come next week and should it flare up again, his BE is already 80 and with an average of 60 in the next few weeks he's going to drop near 50k. Throw in Origin (I know he's normally a bench player, but he will play and further aggravate the shoulder in a more heated arena)

I just can't see how he's going to not be below 800k come post Origin and then a bargain pickup.

Trading him to Lolo who looks like he's found his feet again seems logical. Lolo has a good floor, great JS an average of 50 with 0 attacking returns so far.. Last 5 AVG of 56 with his fitness and minutes up.

The only question mark has to be is it worth burning 2 trades for (Out and back in) but in the short-mid term here's the math:

Lolo avg 56 for 5 weeks (9-13) = 280
Haas avg 68 for 3 weeks (10-12) = 204


Throw in limited minutes over Origin and round 17, you'd be making up a fair chunk of points and I also think the 68 is generous to Haas who will be playing within himself when he returns for the Broncs as he won't want to double down the injury and risk missing Origin.

PLUS Lolo is a Rd 13 gun that most people will be after anyhow.. why not grab him now when he's on the cash gen and Haas is going to lose some on his return.

Love this post, don’t own haas so no skin in the game but that AC injury really seemed to hamper him and seems like it’s a timebomb every time he enters the arena

If he’s back to 100% after this week off I’ll be super impressed

Murray to Ikuvalu

I don't mind the idea of trading Haas, but you have to factor re the above that you'll get an NPR score for Haas this week (lets say its 30). Round 13 obviously a bye round so it depends how you use trades for numbers in that round (ie round 13 isnt a direct Haas vs Lolo pts imo)

I'd prefer the trade if Lolo was closer to 600. Right now he's probably peaked (unless he puts up a huge score.. certainly could happen)

This is where I'm at. Want to target byes but was thinking that I play this game to watch players I like in the end and want them in my team. It was between Schneider and Penis. I love watching the Penis and have grown attached to him and I hardly notice Schneider on the field. (I know because everyone has him but still). I think there's my answer.

Exactly right, and if you watched last week, he was very rarely the first person in the tackle. So even though he still scores well in fantasy from flopping, he's not as efficient in defence as his team would normally expect.

Furthermore, I forgot to note that with all this off the field chatter, and his history of off field mis-haps, the likelihood of him receiving a ban over a fine if the 'cover up' was serious is probably fairly high.
