NRL fantasy 2022 - Part 48 - Would the real bye planners please stand up? Please stand up?

I shouldn't laugh... But Jarrod has done a WT2K here....

captain Jarrod Croker won’t return from injury as named having dislocated his shoulder reaching for the TV remote at home.

I just looked at Sexton's average with Campbell vs without Campbell, and I can't work out if it's significant or an anomaly. Anyone got any eye test opinions on it?

What is the injury Hastings has? I feel they rest him this week, but it seems an ongoing issue?

Not sure, WT haven't given any info on it and generally not great at giving info about injuries

When NRL physio posted on FB, I was expecting the keyboard warriors to be out in force because of the nature of it. He's soft, should retire etc. Instead it was all very sympathetic, and a lot of people saying they re-dislocated in random ways - sleeping, sneezing, picking up their baby etc. Briefly restored my faith in humanity, it did.

Tohu is a must-have for me, Fifita not so much. Burton is a luxury in the worst team in the comp, I have them both. It would really depend on the number of trades you have left and your R13 coverage, but you could do worse than Burton.

I have 14+4 trades before using any this week, so safe to say I have barely any left. I basically need to start loading up keepers now and forget the byes because I don't have the trades to do much else.

I currently have to 2rf and hooker cover and illias is going to be tohu next week that would leave me with no halves cover. I have no other option but to bring in sexton this week tohu next for 2rf cover and wait for a hooker cover later.

w/Campbell: 45, 61, 44, 58*, 61. Average 53.8
wo/Campbell: 25, 38, 33, 8, 15, 34. Average 25.5

*extra time

Like this seems highly relevant?

Doesn't look great. Halftim he was stuffed. I've had Hastings since his return but thinking it might be a move on unfortunately.

I haven’t really been watching the titans much this season but I’d be surprised if it were an anomaly. He’d be straight in for me but the fact that I started with him and traded him is turning me away

I could just get Tohu instead of Burton, as buying Kiraz means I can play May at centre and not need to play Koula every week (will still need to this week most likely, unless Peoples or Schneider gets back in)

TU: Tohu
TD: Burton

Jackson Hastings remains in severe doubt for the clash with South Sydney having spent the week in a moonboot. While reportedly desperate to play, the club will be tempted to give him a rest with the bye next week. If ruled out, Jock Madden would join Luke Brooks in the halves, who also has to get through Friday’s captain’s run successfully to be cleared to return from a hamstring injury.

I had already moved Burton to 14-17 as a precautionary measure if he is a late out.

Hey mate , yeah I am hearing ya but already have 2 Bulldogs not sure I want a third also a winger in the worst team in the comp. not sure that bodes well, might just play the waiting game.

I have King and Burton and mad with myself didn't get Kiraz last week as planned. Wish they'd played him at CTR for Averillo as coming in for JAC gave me enough doubt. Kiraz basically has Walsh season total OFH in each game, 7 in 169 mins vs 4 in 803 mins. How does a winger end up with 3 OFH? I don't care but I want him. Savage has 27 BE and looked nothing special bar the half the field try against rubbish Souths team that had already given up

I think I'm taking the punt, although it means I have no MID or EDG cover this weekend . R13 trade bonanza will sort that out though.

Pretty set on trades this week of Lolo and Tuilagi out. Tofu and Kiraz in.

Currently have 13 bye players, 9 of which are 45 point average players.

Ranked 5.3k soon to be in the top 1k

If Ming could hold his price that would be nice, please and thank you !

Think I'm Trading Burton in this week and will be in the 14-17 as well

Would make sense to rest Hastings with next week's bye to give him extra recovery

I seem to remember Sticky pretty clearly saying (paraphrased) in a presser "that as much as the public want him in, Xavier has a lot to learn about first team NRL play" a few weeks ago.

True, but that was before their #1 fullback got injured. If he has a shocker, or Ricky gets indigestion, Jordan 'Big Brain' Rapana probably goes back their next week.

It’s not Paulie mate I’ve already asked.
