NRL fantasy 2022 - Part 47 - Fuck off fickle fans.

897 for the Bludgers - looking at all the 1k+ scores the weapons on here score and it's a bit "Meh". 
Still, hovering around the 2200 rank. This is the sweet-spot for the Bludgers, not low enough to give up, never actually able to crack the top 1000, by definition "Bludgers". 
If you want to run a team that is bog-average, year-in-year-out, just copy and paste my selections.

913 for the week which I'm stoked with. Into the top 5k for the first time. Lolo's 8 was brutal but plus side is maybe Luki gets a start next week. Very happy with this weeks recruits of Butcher and Sexton. On the downside Cheese continues to be a spud even with decent minutes this week.

Next week looking at Tualagi and Lolo out for Tohu and someone.

Congrats to all the huge scores I'm seeing posted here, commiserations to those who didn't have a good week, particularly the injury crew.

Still no emergency points,anyone else have similar?

I was half-watching Souths Raiders on my phone at a family lunch like the cretin I am so missed the pre game news, was Schneider in to cover injury? I've got a nasty feeling he'll cop his "resting" in round 13 now lol, pls pick Wighton freddie

I reckon Wighton is picked in the CTRs, Hynes if they want a bench utility.

I’m riding Schneider up to R13 in hope.

Frawley was ill I think. Ricky mentioned it pre game but I wasn’t paying much attention.

Are there any WFBs that you can actually rely on that aren’t named Hynes

Anyone rate Manu as a buy for next week going forward?

I was mentioning buying a CTR earlier in the week and I'm drawn to Manu because he gives me a good R13 captaincy option (his avg at fullback is great) and averages enough at centre that I can keep him there all year if I need to, plus the WFB dual is nice.

My own charge is more of a meander, but it’s happening. Watch yourselves…

I'm projected to make the top 1000 in round 62 so look out

Tentative thoughts are Randall and Ilias to cash out and Sexton

Kiraz, Savage the front runners

I got this bloke from the Roosters a few weeks ago. Wears the 1 jersey and averages 55+ year in year out

Updates should push the Aardvarks over 900 and actually gained a few ranks surprisingly. Up around 3.700 from a low of 15k about 6 weeks ago but progress is slow. Lolo and a ‘week too long’ Randall impacted the score this week but a bit of $ in the bank should allow a few quality recruits next week.

Good to see a lot of Fanatics making a charge mid season as recruitment and strategy starts to come out on top!

990 for the week. Rank was 809 last week, up to a current rank of 356. Only 1 trade used this week too so great result, stoked.

I’m pretty tempted.

For R12 I’m either getting Burton (at a higher price than I sold him), Manu, or looping some combo of Kiraz/Vailea/Koula

I’m inclined to agree, I think 2 rookie centres is a bold move

943 for me. Bit annoying to have Sexton and Penisini in NPRs but thems the breaks. Up a couple thousand spots to 7211

Totally worth the trade right? Single salty downvote will be so predictable

You dont even know what the trade was asshole.

53 almost a touch disappointing from McInness in the end after he raced out to something like 42 in 28 minutes at one point. Still take it every day though.

893 was enough to claw back another 1,000 ranks (nearly) from 8850 to 7956. Another 9 weeks like that and I'll have you all covered.
