NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 45 - Woohoo. An unmoderated forum - Run Riot

If you had 919k to spend, you already have Cleary, iPap, Lolo, Hynes and Cotter. Who would you trade in? Would you hold Randall? OR would you go down to McInnes or Butcher and bank the cash?

Cheers

Kinda hope he never scores

Then in his last game before retirement, 77th minute with the Tigers losing 38-6, the oppo fall off him and let him score. Like in one of those feelgood American school sport vids that goes viral where they let the water boy take a free throw or whatever

A final reminder for the Fantasy Fantasy Trade Window


If you want to make a trade, please get it in before the Knights vs Broncos match

I keep hearing suggestions that Meaney will replace Wishart as the Storm's fullback - if he does, I'll keep him and let him earn some $, if not he's considered a dumb trade and I'll move him on. 
Bloody Bellyache and his late team switcheroo shenanigans.

If this means Warbrick gets in on the wing, then I count that as a huge win

That's a LOT of cash sitting in your bank earning you no points.
You do know the name of the game is getting the most points right, not the biggest bank.

I'd be double trading and picking up Haas and either Cookie or Grant.
SOO be damned, at least you'll be getting their points pre-13 and then you'll be stacked with guns one the run home.

Wishart trained preseason as FB cover. I think Wishart gets another shot.

Good luck to the kid when Holmes, Tualagi, and the Hammer are launching at him when Dearden and the Chad are bombing him all night.

yeah he is okay at the rest of a FB's job but he can't catch to save his life.

Meaney has to move back there, and ideally Wishart to centre to get rid of Seve

Who is everyone captaining this week?

Currently on Hynes,

I'm sticking with Cleary every week, gonna just play the average for now.

For some reason I just want to keep the Talakai train for another round. 
Perhaps it's to watch him run at the Titans Edge defence.
So, it's Meaney & Thompson out for Robson & Peoples in.
Rd.12 will be Talakai to Aitken if he spuds it up again.

Was on Hynes, but I think I'll revert back to the Great Chin - surely he's ready to impress Freddy by carving up the Roosters.
(You know, remind Freddy where his roots are and all that).

Was pissing down last week in a high pressure game. Cows are tough for sure but it'd be rough to drop him after last week.

Has been the one guy I have wanted to pick up asap when named this season. If he has a decent debut, I would expect he stays in the team over Gamble when Reynolds is back. Gun player, one that I don't want to miss.

I have 320 ITB before making my second trade, once i trade out Randall i then have 919k.. My issue is, I am just not excited by any of the big options 2 weeks out from origin, Im leaning to Butcher this week, bank the cash to upgrade Tuilagi and Illias >> Tohu/Jackson and Burton before rd13.

I don't think he should be dropped, he should just move to a different position (halfback if Hughes is out because Johns did literally nothing, otherwise centre to push Seve out or on the bench)

hehe he's literally struggling in q cup at the moment.

regardless, excited to see how he goes. gamble will be the chief on field with reynolds out.

I'm surprised, Walters was talking him up a few weeks ago, expecting him to debut and hold the spot as the long term 6.
Its a pity he isnt debuting next to Reynolds, would have given him a much better opportunity than next to Gamble.
Has 16 tries in 18 games in the halves in QLD Cup. Pretty amazing.

Walters will talk up the janitor if a journo puts the question to him

Ezra has that potential, for sure. There are always kids that do. Hopefully coming into a side that is going well *touches wood* helps him to also go well.

Going to be tough without Reynolds regardless. He's quite obviously been the key difference for us lately.
