NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 42 - Tofu Haggis

Anyone else joining me on the McInness express?

Bit of a risk, but just don't think I can go past him for 613k hitting mid-50s.

Locking in Pap + Jones to Elliott + McInness.

Start at WFB in Pap's place:

TU: Coates
TD: Koula

Roosters draw couldn't be any worse and they are an overrated flat track bully team this season. Teddy 3 tries for 81 last game Turbo 1 TA for 52

I'm getting neither and going Ponga as Knights have great draw for ages and I think they will improve from this week on

Draw is irrelevant for Teddy. Can't remember who it was, but pretty sure someone posted recently that he averages 50+ against all but 3 teams.

Maybe I'm still just scarred from past years, but madness to be trading a fit centre averaging over 40 IMO. Can't believe so many are looking at trading Tago in particular. He's not leaving my team unless injured or his average drops off a cliff.

Tago's average first 4 rounds: 55
Tago's average since then: 33

How big does the cliff need to be?

I can't remember when it was but few years ago I captained Teddy for a run of games against 'crap' teams. He barely got past 50 in most of them. When he faced the Storm he went like 80+ in a loss.

The top tier players lift for the big games.

With Hynes moving to fullback, are people going to switch (C) to him from Cleary?

If he was still in the halves I'd probably go Hynes, but think he might lose a bit of base with the move.
I've also captained him twice already this year for his 2 lowest scores.

i feel like he probably plays exactly the same way he has all season when the sharks have the ball. main change would be defensively so less tackles but more run metres maybe?

Not me, I'm staying true to Cleary, and have faith that my PODs (Munster, Cook, Cotter, Ponga) can carry me to the promised land of a doordash voucher

That was as big minute starting lock, not off the bench with Finucane back

Easy answer - if you don't captain him he will go large...

...if you do he will score average.

Does that help?

I will probably just go with Cleary because he will want to alpha his QLD opposition and hopefully fired up after last weeks loss.

The weather is actually tempting me to Hynes only because he went large last time i recall it was pissing down. I don't think fb impact's his scores too much

I'll move him on if he starts averaging under 25 for a decent period. I'm taking 33 with a high ceiling and not wasting a trade at centre everyday.

FB score for Storm against Raiders last season makes me nervous but probably stick with Cleary

He's averaging nearly 400 kick metres. That would have to drop too

Chance for attacking stats probably fairly similar

lol the relevance here is near zero.

No reason to think they don't do the same switch as the last two weeks where he's been named on the bench and started at lock.

Has Burton got the gk back. Cheers.

reckon he still does most of hte in play kicking tbh. we will see.

ok need an avatar bet or something. i would say hynes still dominates kick metres for hte sharks (over 60%?) .. anyone against ?

I think Hynes keeps a lot of the kicking but Trindall will take a chunk too. Might be an even split. No one really knows though.
