NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 52 - Tevita Pangai, Bye Round Captain

To be honest I'm more worried about my final 17.

Best averaging team currently costs $14.606m. Given how tough cash gen has been I'm not sure anyone will make it there (best team only has $13.9m). I've written my thoughts in my team tracker but any "forced/sideways" trades to get numbers seem like a terrible idea. Think more than ever its going to be about assembling a team faster and possibly picking the right cut price keepers.

I'm very seriously considering running Walsh this week over getting Papy later or Garrick as my WFB3 just for the cash savings. Know its less points in the long run but don't feel I can afford the full gun final team.

But Dufty got a Dally M point on the weekend, apparently best on ground for the Dogs

Good writeup in your tracker. Making me consider the Hastings out option.

Another close round of community team voting.

Come onboard and break the deadlock (or keep the deadlock going, what do I care)

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1993-r13-trades

At this stage I've locked in Penis, Schneider, Ilias out Tohu, Burton, Savage in.

That gives me 12 this round with 15 trades ITB.

Anything else I look at feels like I'm forcing it.

Would you bother with Crichton to Walsh? Or BHunt to Butcher/Manu? Or just hold that last trade? Both feel a bit sideways to me.

The entire QLD backline has been put on notice with the availability of Allan

Something about the 'more to come' ending to that tweet made me think it was a Betoota article

They actually did one on him

Any news on new DPPs, that’s supposed to be sometime this week, right?

TU: C Tohu
TD: C Angus

Interesting, didn’t think to check that because I didn’t think it was happen,like Ranta I have money issues for my final team, was gunna grab Burton to partner Aitken in my CTR but the 727 feels steep, thinking maybe I should wait a week and grab Garner instead for 230k less as a ‘good enough’ option

This post makes me sad.

Even if I sell all my stuff on Ebay, I wont get close to these team values.

Out: Hastings, Iilas, TPJ, Peoples
In: Robson, Harris, Crichton, Keary

Round 13

Robson
Tevaga, Harris, Ming
Crichton
Keary
Tago, May
Savage, Koula, Kiraz

Starling, Smith

Not playing: Matterson, Hynes, Brown, Ipap, Cleary, Tedesco, Penis, Ruston

Final squad count:

Robson
Cricton, Tevaga, Harris
Matterson, Ipap
Cleary, Brown
Tago, May
Tedesco, Hynes, Koula

Penis, Starling, Keary, Ming

Junk: Rushton, Smith, Kiraz, Savage

12 trades to shape final team, hopefully junk Savage and Kiraz can make some coin to upgrade Starling and Ming

Well they need some backup considering I'm sure we're about to see an article about how they all have flu and broken legs or something.

Not fantasy related but having beer after 2-1
final win against top team in mixed 7s. Chaaaahoooo

Im in the same boat. I stuffed my cash gen up getting duds like Peoples and Taas.
Im gonna have to settle on Garrick as my 3rd wfb instead of Teddy or Pappy, Moses over someone like Muster, Lolo will have to stay for the rest of the season and Mahoney over Cook

Yep, wouldn't be origin without it. Grant is the first in doubt.

Similar story here. I'm gonna have a sub-par final team unless some mid-season cashies turn up soon.

Post bye round I'm looking at Tevaga and Starling out for Papali'i and anyone under $700k.
Teddy is out of reach for now so I'll be looking at Papenhuyzen instead when he's back to partner Hynes and whatever dud WFB I still have hanging around.
