NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 59 - Who let the Dogs into the winner's circle

If we want some rep round shitposting. My controversial opinion is that w should have less stats in Fantasy, not more.

For a start, drop tackles down to 1 point for every 2 tackles (or even less). You can then reduce most other stats across the board as well.
There is no need to try and come up with a stat to reward every single thing that happens on the football field. Stats at the moment are too influenced by a couple of big stats. Make more than 1 offload to hand in a game and you've for a great score, almost regardless of anything else that happens.

Having lower scores in general means it would be less punishing if your player gets injured in the 3rd minute.

That was one of the #codeincrisis moments back in the day, where video refs rules passes forward that may/may not have been backwards out of the hand so they decided it was too hard.

But then in a recent game you had a ref pretend a pass was a bat-on so they could rule on it anyway. Which shows the absurdity.

If they get the chip in the ball to work though, I fear we will never get through a set of six without a forward pass from dummy half. At least for a few rounds.

Other things I don't like:
* golden point in regular season games
* golden point, generally. It's bad footy to watch, with a few rare exceptions
* the 7-tackle set restart if a ball goes dead. Seems disproportionate punishment for a grubber going a bit long
* the other team not being able to pickup a kick restart that doesn't go 10m
* tries being allowed from grounding with your torso, or anything that isn't a hand
* tries being allowed when a guy is wrestling in a tackle, held-up, for 15-20 seconds, way after it would be called held anywhere else
* anything that is reffed differently in the goals compared to the 100m in between
* the way refs will let the play go to a try, so they can get the video ref to check something 50m earlier. One day a player will deliberately get tackled 5m out to end that nonsense.

Also I like field goals but it's weird that the act of kicking a field goal involves a deliberate knock-on. Which makes me think, if a guy drops a pass cold, but kicks it on the bounce, should it not just be play on? Why aren't players doing this? Aside from that one time Benji scored that way, I mean?

You'd be punished exactly the same proportionally, it would just seem less punishing because the raw number is lower.

Having one of your players score 1 when everyone else scores 60 is more punishing than having one of your players score 1 when everyone else scores 30

Jumping Marlin wrote:On NRL fantasy stats:  I've often thought that it'd be more aligned to effectiveness if every tackle was valued at 2(or 3), and those points were allocated to the relative contribution of the tacklers.  
For example:

> A one on one tackle gets 2 points.
> A two man tackle, they get a point each
> A Jurbo special snapping someone in half while Tapau hangs on. Both points to Jurbo.
> A 3 man tackle where Carrigan and Capewell do the dirty work and Hass comes in for the flop. 1 each to Carrigan and Capewell

Yep, totally impractical.

I'd be amazed if he had a role in the Panthers line up that would warrant his likely price tag, surely?
