NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 41 - Burbo is the new Turbo

Smart move from the Warriors to rush through the Nikorima signing so he's eligible to play this week .. vs the Warriors.

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

That's... my point? If he's going to play at the Dolphins next year as people are saying why would he leave a comfortable #14 jersey to play in another #14 jersey?

Assuming Aitken is good to go.

Early trades looking like

Hynes - Mulitalo

Papy - Manu
JKing - ACrichton

Haha that's incredible.

Definitely should've slow rolled it and finalised it next week.

Connor Watson a sneaky Round 13 option with Verrills out for 6-8 weeks?

Or does Hutch sneak some of his minutes?

There's no way we are dropping Ilias for Niko.

He didn't have a comfortable 14 Jersey, he's been dropped before. And he wants to stay in Australia.

Hutch was stealing his mins when Verrills was out earlier in the year.

I started with him in SC and he was very weak for me, only reason I'm not more annoyed is that I traded Cheese to him right before the Roosters game in round 1 so it could have been much worse

I like the Warriors more than Souths, but I know where I'd rather be right now. If it's true that they didn't know the 18th man rule, they're a bigger clusterfuck than I thought.

Ahh sweet as. Flicking through MIDs to see who I want to buy. Will probably be TPJ at this stage

If you don't already own him, Cotter is the man. Even if he does play Origin, he is easily a keeper in your 14-17 with that HOK dual unless his role changes significantly

Yeah, would be a piss poor effort to scapegoat a rookie half, when more experienced players haven't aimed up.

Yep, nobody knows how to beat the Warriors better than a Warriors player

Also tempted by the Watson punt, probably only needs 60 mins to score 50 at hooker. But yeah TPJ is a safer bet. I think he’s a better option than Cotter.

I was also having a sneaky look a Butcher in the “Elliot priced” category, but no way can I trust his role.

Unless something has happened to Tupouniua that we don’t know about I’ll be staying away. Would be very risky

Schneider -> Burton and $0 itb

meant to be.

If I can be a Warriors fan after Sunday, I can handle anything haha

Not liking our odds in the QB market

Yep he was gun. Brought him in Round 11 last year and he averaged 55 for the rest of the season and went from 480k to 680k.

In saying that, his price then was what made him appealing. Manu at 600k right now is kinda eh and you sort of get what you're paying for

I think by the end of the year, Aitken and Burton will be the CTR pairing for everyone, with Manu or Talakai trailing them. Maybe Gagai if the Knights get it back together at all

600k for a back up CTR/WFB is pretty dear. In saying that he probably just acts as a Teddy handcuff and will play FB whenever Teddy is out.

He was also in great form last year and scoring tries at will - 5 games in a row at one stage. His scores without tries are pretty average, so you're betting on the Roosters' overall form

He's not a bad buy by any stretch, but I'd be wary about him is all

I do like watching the nfl but I've never seen a game last so long they play 60 mins & it usually takes about 3 hrs to complete. The first team I followed was the Steelers just because they wore black. They had some legends of the game in that team.

It took me a good 3-4 years to really enjoy it and understand the nuances of the game. It was mainly to tie me over between the NRL seasons.

It is a very different sport though and I think it's probably more difficult because we have a very fast free flowing game in League and we compare the two but might as well compare Soccer and Tennis.

Once you're familiar with rules and tactics, it becomes quite fun to watch, especially if you have mates to watch with
