NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 58 - A bottom 4 team

721/12(c) - Ming, Elliott, Klemmer, Burton and RFM to come. Only real let down so far was Tago coming in off the emg for Cotter

768/14c.

Tago, Butcher, Sexton. What a disaster. Probably trade all three. Only positive is that I banked all four this week.

798/13(C). Burton, Ming, Kiraz and Elliot to go.

Early season some on here saying he was no where near the hype

I'll put my hand up here. Based on what I saw in 2021 he looked like he needed a few years in reserve grade playing against adults. Flashes of talent but not first grade ready

2022 has been the complete opposite. Effort plays week in week out and looks every bit a future rep player.

Sometimes I think we have expectations way too high for these young players. Of course an 18 year old isn't going to be as polished as their 25 year old opposition

Had same 3 and 685/13c seems well off pace

My score is 69/Dragons are in the top 8.

Sorry to hear about your old man mate.  The circle of life is cruel at times.

Cheers wolfking.
Not the kind of experience I'd recommend for anyone. Your whole life your dad is like a giant, or a fortress, y'know. Whatever happens the old man will be able to sort it out, pay for "lawyers, guns, or money" to pull your ass out of the shit. 
And now, he's frail, forgetting everything and needs me to look after him.
Yep. The circle of life is a cruel mistress, that's for sure.

Just keep looking after him mate!

Nothing more important than a father/son relationship.

Never had a dad past 6 years olds myself, so Made it my mission to do whatever I can with my lad! We are best mates, but I’m still a cunt on times but know I would and he would do anything for each other! Just knowing I can be better always pushes me

Even though your old man, might not show he does anymore with the illness, just know deep down, whilst he can’t show it anymore, he does appreciate what you are doing mate! Keep plugging away bro and if you need to chat or just release, chuck me a pm bud and I’ll do what I can

Butcher - Ipap

My plan was hope he averages around 50 next 2 and pick up Rd 17. His BE should be around 90 next week and 55 loses another 40k or thereabouts. Won't be getting next week

Wonderful post Welshy. Great words.

Might miss out on a 65/70 though? Not always about getting players at absolute minimum.

Hoping for someone to average 13 points under season average seems like a tough punt over 4 weeks

Right there with you SI @ 672/12c once my shitty AE’s are added. Got more problems than I can poke a stick at.

Like you, I also saved all 4 trades, mainly due to life getting in the way and not having time / missing team lists etc. Not sure if positive or negative at this stage but it is what it is. Week off to assess injuries and suspensions from the rep round, and then start clearing out the dead wood of which there is plenty.

Still need to work out how to approach R17, if at all. Plans changing on the reg as my team proceeds to shit the bed.

Also don't like risking getting on huge BE. Could get Butchered early game.

Ipap avg last 4 is 54

Yeah, I'll personally wait until round 17 too. Us non owners got out of jail with his score last night though. The possibility of another 30-40K drop is a risk I'll probably take.

Already have 3 trades pencilled in depending on 2 player performances this week

Tago to Kennedy
Sexton to Barnett
Butcher to Twal

Would increase my bank to $680k roughly

Average last 2 is 49.5. Hoping for another 2 weeks of 50 as you stated is hoping massively when his season average is currently 63 mate.

He’s the Cleary of the edge world, not really ever a bad time to get him in

Against the Rabbits could be a cricket score I suppose

This is sound advice though.

Butcher and Sexton my only sub 40 players for the week and will probably be gone next week
