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

With the rise of Cotter, Tolo is dead to me.

Just not enough minutes there, he is a weapon doubt Payten limits his minutes too much.

Yeah Cotter is the new Lolo in terms of fantasy output, so glad I got him instead of Lolo in round 9 (and only because I didn't have enough money for Lolo that week).

Ok was waivering off Manu until the wave of support on the forum this morning. 

Critta/Ilias/Ming to Manu/RFM/Tohu(c)

Walsh was the other consideration, has to get some tries soon yeah? Would probs get him if I wasn’t holding Teddy

I'd really like him in, grabbed him in SC. But, deciding between him and Crangus. I say Crangus wins out and sets up my front row and edge for remainder of the season.

I did that. I could fit Manu in as well but have a sneaking suspicion it limits my maneuverability over the next few rounds so it's best to leave it......I think

Surely Ming is a hold this week at least?

Ming is a potential keeper if keeps getting big minutes.

Still potentially dumping starling this round, if he loses too much cash ,won't be able to trade him to mahoney

Quite looking forward to next round. Will be refreshing to start looking at a new group of players

Dumped him for Angus this week.....no ragrets baby (maybe a few if he plays 60 mins again but made some decent money)

It'll be interesting to see how people handle players not backing up, especially those with as few trades as me.

Same here! This part of the fantasy season has always been my favourite!!

PPM of 1.08 this year. 8/12 games he's scored better than 1 PPM. If he keeps playing 50+ mins he's not leaving my team.

I suspect the trades will start getting chewed up now. Will be a very delicate balancing act for most. I guess 4 trades makes things a bit easier to sort out shortages next round

Oops I meant Jing.

Ming is still in my team

The old Ming v Jing mistake

Angus captain,

not going Tohu C or VC in case we need to do any last-minute reverse trading.

I think I've come around and am set on these trades. I've decided to hold Penis and Hastings to try and maximise round 17 numbers;

Yeo - Harris
Jing - Crichton
Scritta - Manu
Vailea - Savage/Avo

Getting rid of Vailea adds depth which could be crucial next week. I'd still possibly like Sexton but I don't want to sacrifice on of the first three trades. I would have to keep Vailea and get rid of Penis and Hastings.

If I have to play with 16 for a week I’ll just rather take the hit.

Just got around to actually setting up my for this week. Who else is running the gun back three of Kiraz/Koula/Savage?

Over/under on them scoring more than 60 combined?

I'm conflicted on whether this is a good thing or not......short term it rewards people who don't plan coverage etc and takes some of the strategy out of the game but last year was carnage and 21 man squads are too small to cover 2 players in the same position going down.

It remains to be seen whether or not it rewards trade savers down the track but tbh i would rather they just give everyone the four extra now so those who are prone to blowing them are free to fire away.
