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

Outstanding, only hesitation would be Manu. Would have to be considered a keeper until end of season

Roosters looked awesome though and he could be huge benefactor moving forward

I'd keep him in WFB for the year I think.  Could go Walsh or Cotric instead but Manu is next level.  These trades leave me with 3K so meant to be.

All depends on Fermor.  He would go instead of Penis if he's out.

Thoughts on Hastings to Burton vs keeping Hastings?

Pro: I need a gun centre (don't own Burton or Aitken) and Burton seems to be good for a 50+ average, plus I can still use him to cover halves next week if both Munster and Cleary don't back up, also gets me from 9 to 10 players this week.

Con: Burns a trade and 100k of bank, might not be a genuine increase in scoring.

Don't wanna lose Penis but these look pretty damn nice.

Nice.
I'm going similar - 
Lolo > Tohu
Meaney > Angus
Penisi > Aitken
Ilias > Cotric
although, I'm still tossing up between Cotric & Kris as back-up centre. 
Or, take a chance on RFM to make some quick cash.

I like Cotric.

I don't understand what people are expecting from RFM. Is he getting an 80 minute edge role back soon or something?

Hope springs eternal, based on scoring and role from last year, pre-serious injury, which of course means it means nothing to his current performance.

As a Canberra fan, who looks more likely, Cotric or Kris?
Needed to fund my other 3 trade-ins and only want to run for 13 - 16.

Kris will likely be centre while Croker is out but Semi Valemei was playing Centre ahead of Kris before he got injured. This week Schiller, another centre, also played off the bench. Sometimes Ricky plays Kris off the bench too.

Cotric is locked in for 80 minutes on the wing.

Kris might score better but comes with higher risk. Cotric the safe bet.

He's cheap enough and with pedigree and plays bye, that if named on an edge many would take the punt and hope for a miracle. Some would even take the punt if named on the bench, hoping for a bigger role moving forward. Could be a bye playing enabler that you stick down in jersey 19. All speculation. No dpp. With Lolo, TPJ, Schneider and (Burbo), I really can't fathom any meaningful decisions until team lists or some injury news.

Probably bringing in Angus. NFI beyond that. Don't have enough cash. Leaves me three options as best I can tell. Either try to bring in short term cash makers which has failed so far. Bring in cut price rd13 keepers, or wait a week or so and bring in cut price rd17 keepers. Compromises will need to be made either way I think.

How do these trades sound?

Do you have any halves left haha?

3 average or worse to 3 guns? Surely not worth the time asking?

Yeah the only negative is that it leaves me with no halves cover so not sure if that is wise

Lol just Cleary and Burton

Actually I totally forgot about Manu and might bring him in to shore up my WFB a bit. Thinking of these trades

Ilias to Harris
Schneider to Crichton
Starling to Aitken
Hastings to Manu

Robson
Butcher Harris Haas
Crichton IPap
Cleary Burton
Penisini Aitken
Hynes Manu Koula

Tago
Lolo
King
Elliott

Tass
Kiraz
Vailea
Thompson


Probably makes the 18-21 too weak but apart from Koula the rest of the 17 look strong. One to ponder,might just rein it in a bit and be more sensible haha

It's fine as long as you have a plan for rd14 to bring in a half. Don't need cover in a bye round. As long as you have the cash and trades next week. Traditionally, this is where some people fall down in rd14 with bye planning/injuries/origin restings. Shouldn't be such a problem with 4 trades available instead of two this year.

Yeah true,will probably use Lolo/King and Thompson to fund a half if I went this way

Gives me 16 for the round. Also probably go Starling to Butcher despite R13 with one player leaking cash and the other on the way up. Gives a nice war chest, and running with one hooker doesn't matter since I'll be getting Mahoney as soon as R14 lockout lifts. If Fermor or TPJ aren't named, I'll have rethink and possibly take the Starling cash hit.

Could do Peoples to Savage and have 17, but doesn't seem worth the trade for now.

Robson
Tohu, MKing, TPJ
Angus, Fermor
Burton, Keary
Tago, Vailea
Walsh, Koula, May

Elliott, BSmith, Starling/Butcher

Burton or Angus captain.

Good plan mate I like it. Oh wow you’ve got Keary. I hope Billy Smith plays.

I’m actually thinking I’ll C Tohu gonna be good for his 55-60. When I captained Angus in the past 2-3 times he’s gone under 50 every time lol.

mrbrownstone wrote:Feels premature to sell Hastings, he hasn't scored under 50 at halfback until these last two weeks where he copped a sinbin and was clearly playing injured. Couple of weeks to freshen up and I still reckon he's a keeper.

The injury to his foot is a nerve injury apparently and that’d be very painful it’s not something that goes away in 2 weeks. I think it will affect his scoring like we saw the last 2 weeks so I’m gonna sell pre round 14 most likely to Moses. I’ve had a nerve injury previously in my left arm it was quite painful and even though I had a surgery I still have issues and some pain syndrome with it still today.

Douiehi back soon as well and with Madge likely being sacked soon and Tigers season over I can’t see them pushing Hastings come say round 16-17 if he’s not right.

I love the first 2 mate. Re Sexton personally I’m trying to avoid all Titans players.

Penisini avg is 43.8 the last 9 games plays round 17 too.

Those 4 trades are dangerous. Some people are gonna have no trades left before they get their 4 extra ones. I am actually holding trades this week. I am happy with how my team is performing right across the park and I do not need a short boost only in Round 13. I may look at trading players who specifically play Round 17 over the next few weeks, but I reckon a bold POD move is to not the make rash Bye Round Trades. Just act like the bye rounds do not really exist. The gain is not worth what it does to your team
