NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 42 - Tofu Haggis

Weiland wrote:I do miss the CK and Lone Scout weekly podcast they used to do every week. I didn't listen to their advice all that much but it was a handy source of information and they didn't come across as know it all dickheads.

Lone Scout was the reason I found this site since he tweeted about this place saying you guys knew your shit, so he can't be all bad.

I agree on all points...the podcast was fairly rational & open discussion without having to resort to braindead blokey banter or speaking in absolutes.

Bit of a luxury trade here lads, but have 686k to bring in any player for Coates for my h2h team.

Options on the shortlist include: Luciano (lowkey thinking him), Carrigan, Jackson, Mahoney, Cotter, Robson and Angus.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

Is Lone Scout still Dom Brock or did he move on?

If so maybe it’s Paulie G now?

Someone's not a back reader....

Haha the main issue is that when it floods, the field at suncorp goes underwater. Happened in feb and it took them working round the clock to get it up to standard for round 1.

It ahouldnt be that bad unless the weather turns far worse than currently forecast. Its just gonna be a shitry rainy weekend at this stage

Or it fuck off real quick and by saturday it will be alright

I may be biased because I own him already (don't own any of the rest) but Cotter is the man.

that HOK/MID dual is super useful, he may play Origin but it's no certainly, and his workrate is absolutely ridiculous.

If you absolutely must have a round 13 player then Jackson is the guy, but he's so boring to watch and EDG dual isn't as useful

Fogarty back training. Schneider might not be in team for Rd 13. 45 BE. Could lose 20k that could be better put toward a cow or gun

Frawley outplayed him by a mile last week. It's not even a guarantee he's in the team in Round 11, never mind 13.

Don't waste your time with it, most of the serious NRLF players have left the server and established their own one, there's a handful of serious players still on there (Rabs being one of them) but now it's mostly just 12 year olds trying to troll each other

This place is changing. We might need to employ a talent Scout and send him on a recruitment drive.

Harsh.

Nah, but I have seen the photos so the boot remains firmly on the ground in this instance

It would be better if he wasn't there for round 10

Not sure if it's been mentioned but re: McInnes off the bench.

I reckon he will start at 13 again, and the only reason Finucane is named is because he has OCD levels of prep for games, and probably has a superstition about being named out of the 13 jersey.

Pretty keen on Connor Tracey, think he might retain a starting spot.

Just on the weather, Football QLD (soccer for the heathens) has postponed all fixtures in Brisbane for the weekend.

Gets me out of standing around in the rain being entertained by a bunch of U9s I allegedly coach

Be very surprised if he did

I get what you’re saying but I wouldn’t call Jax or Swift who run the other server gun fantasy players they are very incosistent both outside the top 10k and come up with strange trade ideas which rarely pay off and they run out of trades with like 8 rounds left. In fact I’ll be honest I rate you a better fantasy player than those 2.

Some of these 16-17 yr olds are doing well too and in the top 1500-3000 rank wise.

Important question... How does Burton go in wet conditions?

Well when he gets cold and wet he goes “burrr” a ton...

"Late Mail: Nick Meaney has been named to Ryan Papenhuyzen (knee) at fullback, but the Storm are reportedly considering playing Tyran Wishart there following a successful cameo in the No. 1 jersery against the Dragons last week. That would push Meaney play to the wing and Dean Ieremia would drop out. "

Don't know if already posted here or if it's even true.

Sorry, I don't normally give thumbs down Pookus but this deserves about 50 lol!

His base has dropped off quite a bit compared to previous weeks, I would trade him this week if not for Papy's injury but he's fine to hold this week if you need to.

He will be kicking goals again with Croker injured
