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

I've gone cold on bringing in Savage. Think I'll take the punt on RFM instead.

People trading Averillo in -

What happens in 3 weeks when he goes back to CTR his 17 average? Will he make enough cash in his time at fullback? I am a greedy bastard who needs to make cash. How sad will I be when he doesn't provide the goods?

He's just replacing Vailea for me. A green dot down the line and a 17 where needed over no player if the situation arises.

I'm fully expecting him to replicate Vaileas score nevertheless.

Got mentioned yesterday but I've come around to Keppie as a cash out over Savage/Averillo

I've already got Kiraz, Lee, Tass stinking up the NPR + Kennedy will be a good cash out soon. Keppie should have a spot in the 17 most weeks and is an injury to someone like JTurbo away from being a 30+ point scorer. Not too bad for a cash out

I think i will do:
ilias out - averillo out
penisini out - aitken in

This is decent motivation for a punt. Finally gets a run in his preferred position. Sounds like him becoming a red dot will devastate him more than me.

The last(ish) line about ex player commentators is a gem

I'm sure it's actually meaningless, like a admin thing and he's not going to overrule Big Mal and co, but it doesn't detract from his image as an authoritarian with too much power.

another post on the bulldogs forum...avo in nsw cup has played fb in the past & is pretty decent. might not have the grasp on ordering around the defensive structures from the back like good fb's, but he knows when to chime in & create the overlap & is relatively safe under the high ball. with his pace it could help with some lb's & bringing our backline into the game more.

This sounds like Dufty haha. But has potential to get better I guess.

No Penrith players but 3 bulldogs,

Let’s go boys

I have Robson, Crichton and Tohu in my side and somehow thought it was a good idea to captain Burton. Really hope it's one of his up weeks.

I'm reading through the forum now, I dunno there seems to be a lot of mixed thoughts. Few positive but a few saying he'll be exposed.

Think I will just bring in Walsh and be resigned to him being one of my final 3, was always the plan however I thought he would have produced more this season, only half way so onwards and upwards.

Ming, Burton, Kiraz?

I have 5 tonight Tago, May, Burton, M. King, Kiraz & if I get Averillo it's 6.

Falls for one game ?

I’m bringing him in too.

Hopefully in a months time we can be those guys posting things like Walsh averaged 37 when I didn’t own him but 54 when I did

I'd rather have the trade and hope R17 cash out appears

Was keen, what you reckon happens when Schuster eventually claims his edge and davey returns to bench ?
