NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 41 - Burbo is the new Turbo

my tv broke wrote:Without looking at options I think I'll trade Papy to a gun of the hok/mid/edg variety to fix up a spot in 14-17. Too many duds in my team. May as well play Koula or Coates at wfb3. Trading in a wfb who might score some 30's will hurt when it just adds to the other 20's and 30s haha

Trading Papy to a MID like TPJ and running Lee is too scary I think so will probably need to make a second trade and bring in Koula or Wishart if he somehow makes the cut.

Shit Wishart is only available at HLF

Leo > TPJ
Papy > Koula

Yeah mate. I'm playing Koula

Is playing Koula and playing Lee the same thing?

I couldn't play Lee because he seems more likely to score 10 than anything else. Also I don't have him haha

Koula has looked ok for a couple of 20s. Not ideal. There were a couple of plays in last game where if it went his way he would have scored 50+ (same goes for any back I suppose)

Grant in particular you'd think would have reduced involvement throughout the Origin period? He'll be playing 80 for QLD and Storm.do have another international hooker on the books, plus middle forwards like Kamikamica and Jordan Grant coming back into contention to cover Cheese at 9.

I mean, he might score well enough in his full games to cover it, but of all the guns can't see him as a buy right now. I'd love to have picked him up earlier, but will just have to suffer getting him in after Origin, maybe cheaper, maybe not.

Yeah agreed, I said earlier that us Lee owners at least get a look first.
Unfortunately TPJ was my trade target if he goes well and he’ll be locked haha

Yeah, I think all of this is right

Think I just have to get over my fear of having TPJ in a position of responsibility. He has only had one high minute shocker this season.

Will wait for team lists and sort my shit out then....I'm probably forgetting someone obvious

I'm already playing one of Koula, Coates or Taaffe each week and no way I'm playing two of them so definitely one WFB needs to come in for me with Papy out.

Liking To'o the more I think about it, but I do wish he was back on the left side

What about playing both Koula and Lee?

Holding Papy last year was one of the things that killed my season. Not a fan of being forced to make the same decision again

Is Ipap gonna be running at Sam Walker this week?

Souths play Warriors & Cook always goes large against them...2021=101 pts, 2020=103 pts, 2019=86 pts

If I can go

Tuilagi & Schneider >> Burton & Elliott,

should I do that or should I keep Tuilagi and trade out Pappy instead?

Yeah that’s a tough one. I’d prefer not to get to sucked into it again.

To bring back an old classic...what has happened to Taupau's minutes this year? Went from averaging ~50 last year to barely 35 this year. Just a case of getting older and not quite up to it anymore? Would it be totally insane to keep an eye on him as a bye option if there's an uptick? (Almost certainly yes, but just throwing names out there).

Taupau has been pretty open that he is looking for a new club (ie Manly don't want to extend him), so i wouldnt bet on his mins coming back.

Not owning Grant and them almost the same price I might as well punt on Cook instead

Ah haven't really followed that saga. Asked and answered then.

I have Hynes and May at WFB. I could leave Papy at WFB and get a look at Koula score in EMG and if rubbish swap Papy to Scrit at first loop and trade Papy to gun any position
