NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 41 - Burbo is the new Turbo

I reckon he's there to play 14 and cover injuries. I can't imagine they abandon Ilias.

Does allow Warriors to get Volkman now.

The Dolphins continue signing low key players - Robert Jennings, and in a huge blast from the past, JJ Felise. Unless they pull a Munster out of the bag soon, I can't see how they aren't wooden spooners in their first year.

Well if PNG get a team they will be 2nd last.

Bennett could probably get an under 20's side to beat the warriors though.

Surely he's just there as a 14 to displace Havili/poor man's Walker if he gets injured? Don't see how Nikorima/Walker would work.

Nikorima benji role for sure before he signs for Redcliffe next year.

I am very tempted to get another POD into my team and do the following trades:

Papy to Adam Reynolds

Schneider to Meaney

Obviously not ideal for round 13 but that round is so shit that I'm not sure I even want to bother worrying about it, and the entire Broncos attack is going through ARey. Meaney at FB for the next 3 games (assuming Papy is back in R14) is also nice, and if Papy is out longer then I benefit even more).

I could go Adam Elliott over Meaney if I want to run the gauntlet of a Hynes/May/Koula WFB but not sure I can leave WFB that weak.

Not sure if posted, but assuming they take the early guilty plea

Kennedy 2 weeks
Ramien 3 weeks

Both Grade 3 Careless.

Im super tempted into Meaney, we all saw what Hynes did there last year, my only concern is the storms draw for those 3 weeks is tough.

Nikorima fucking sucks, him and Walker would be the worst halves pairing in the comp.

They need Ilias to maintain some level of structure. He's been playing well and getting better every week, even if fantasy doesn't say he is.

Don't think Nikorima is there for anything but a 14 Jersey.

Yeah it's not a nice draw and 3 weeks isn't quite long enough.

I'm looking at going Papy and Edrick to Elliott and Manu/Garrick instead, as that gives me two more R13 players and means I get rid of one of my dead 18-21 spots since Edrick has shit the bed with the last 2 scores.

Meaney gonna destroy, fulfil the MattNZ prophecy

I think thats the go, should give you good points and looks bound to earn some coin, I prefer Garrick to Manu but will probably average the same.

Papy to Edwards
Thompson to McInnes

1k remaining, me like

Yeah I think I'm doing it.

Means I now have 10 players for round 13, even if 2 of them are Billy and Vailea

I think I prefer Manu over Garrick because Manu's has showed he can score points even when the Chooks are losing (e.g. the Broncos game) and his CTR dual means it'll be easier to keep him for longer if I need to - especially given that Teddy is likely to be rested in at least one of rounds 14 and 18 if not both

Papy to Tom, Schneider to Burton, no overthinking.

Not a fan of ever taking the captaincy off Cleary as he's fairly fixture -proof, but the one exception is captaining anyone vs Storm. Looking at Cleary's stats line vs Storm in the playoffs last year it's about 45 under current scoring. Even the "new Cleary" Hynes only got 45 vs the Storm. Other than an outlier from Dylan Brown, and a 57 in Round one from Luke Brooks, that's the highest score for a half against the Storm *all season*.

However, if Hynes is fullback this week with Trindall HB, he loses a lot of kick metres and possible goal-kicking.

If I'm captaining a fullback and TTrbo is in my team then it would be him. Risk when everyone else is captaining Cleary or Hynes though.

Don't tempt me to take the C off Cleary, especially when I notice that Ipap is running at Sam Walker

Had Manu last year until Latrell ended his season. He was incredible.

Nikorima could've played out the year in the #14 at Warriors. Not convinced he's switching clubs to take the same role (plus has a year in his favour in 2023)

Souths coach quoted saying he'll provide something different in attack and sure up the defence. Don't think he'll provide better defence than Cam Murray at #13 or Cook at #9 so it's an odd thing to mention if he's playing the Benji role. from #14.

So far this year every player to banner has scored 30 or less the next game.

Yes but hes leaving the warriors at end of season anyway?
