NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 50 - F*** you Pangai

For fucks sake.  Should learn by now that bye planning crumbles each year.

Isaako was a legit Captain option too.

JTB could be a decent shout too at 371K with a few out for Origin over the next six weeks or so. Scored well last week.

$6k short of Lolo to Tohu and Walters to Angus

Could facilitate the trade in of both these guns by using a third trade to go Tass to Savage. Already have some deadwood in Peoples and Koala in 18-21 and can anticipate Savage being shunted to the wing or becoming a red dot any week. Unsure its wise to trade in Savage, not confident he makes too much coin and it'll require another trade to get him out at some stage.

Elliot has given Ricky his notice, leaving for the Knights. Ricky is furious.

It looks like I can field 17 using three trades and if Taumalolo, TPJ and Saab are back this week. I've not checked on any news yet so I assume I've missed updates.

Holding Cleary, IPap, Hynes and Nanai

Call me crazy for this one because I almost certainly am, but just throwing a name out there.

Bunty Afoa played 54 minutes on the weekend, when he's been averaging 37.6 mins this season, so a decent boost.

Is he the beneficiary of the Lodge and AFB injuries? Averages 46 when playing between 50-60 minutes in a very limited sample size.

Would take balls of steel or complete disregard for the remainder of your season to seriously consider for more than 2 seconds of course.

What a fucking chump.

Elliot dropped this week then? Lol.

Looking at bye round options and came across Ese'ese, thought I'd check in on how he's gone since the Lone Scout recommended him in R10. 12 in round 10, 19 in round 11, DNP last round. Hope no one fell for that.

Credit where it's due, he did say he had a great PPM and he's scored 31 in 37 minutes over those two rounds, so he wasn't entirely wrong.

Schneider 80 minute lock perhaps

Is there a source?

Elliott not switching until next season, surely he still plays, especially with Papali'i out.

He couldn't have waited until after R13 to break this news, though?

Sticky is a bit of a narc, could easily make an example of elliott

Fox are reporting it.

"Canberra forward Adam Elliott has reportedly informed teammates of his decision to join the Knights from next season.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the former Bulldog will join up with Adam O’Brien’s side for the 2023 season after he was handed a career lifeline by Ricky Stuart."

Don't really see why that should affect him this season, but who knows with Ricky.

Who's getting DPP this week?

Don’t think any of us work for fanhub, they work in mysterious ways

AOB saw AElliot play 20 mins of HK and found his new back-up for JBrailey.

So never?

Yep. I'd rather roll the dice with Nanai. Save the trade and focus on getting a stronger Middle or W/FB.

He also scored 37, 37, 30 and 33 in the month before that so while the 59 is nice I’d prefer someone who averages a little higher than that and plays 17.

Yeah, Ming is done once Rd.13 is over. 
Thank you for your great service to the cause etc. etc. 
Flash Gordon would be proud of you.
