NRL Fantasy 2022 - Part 60 - Catchy Thread Title

I got kissed by the Fantasy Gods here, its only from an error that I still own him, sometimes the cards fall your way.

mmmm IF Aitken starts at 2FR this week, I wonder if it is just a one week reprieve and then he will be named at CTR again?

Certainly throws a spanner in the works for me. Planning on partnering either Aitken or Tago with Burton for the run home. Would hate to toss Tago this week and then see Aitken demoted to CTR (or dropped) in R18.

Sitting in the same boat mate.. A real pickle. Neither play 17 either.

Yeah same situation for me really, I think I'll hold Tago for now at least.

Thinking
Butcher -> Kennedy
Sexton -> Papy

leaves 181k
might also do
Koula -> Barnett

but that would use the remaining bank. feels fun though. probably need to find a way to get IPAP next week though which would be another two trades.

With Aitken's price and BE, still tempted to maybe flick him, not sure yet. I don't really need him for the centre cover, and the head knocks still have me slightly concerned.

Koula and barnett probably both make a bit of cash this week, not worth waiting an extra round around barneys JS?

More of a trade for points injection, but I am iffy on Barnett keeping that edge spot.

If Haas is out, that prob makes him a bigger sell than Cotter

4/5 of Tagos best scores were in the first 4 rounds. Reckon the kid is playing a bit busted with the ins and outs of weekly NRL taking its toll. Also To'o being back is taking some work away from him. Still feels like a sell to me.

Its crystal ball stuff really. People are off Haas but he's still the big dawg at the Broncos. Think he'll be back to his best in a couple of weeks.

Id be more worried they take it easy on Cotter's minutes once he returns. Second hammy injury for the season. High risk of re-injury. They've got a heap of mids at the Cows and can afford to spread the load.

If he's going to make a good score, this week is probably it vs that Roos side

Damn, HTF @ 263 has me moist. Shame about R17, but cheap DPP and can put on a score.

I think we heard that same thing a couple of weeks ago when they played the Warriors.

Good point. Just checked his scores too.. 4/5 his best scores were rounds 1-4, since then been a downhill slope even with attacking returns. His base has dropped hugely from RM's and tackles etc. The call above about taking a toll on his body makes a lot of sense.

Aitken beside Burton, Tago -> Barnett.

+1 for R17 also, and Barnetts making cash.

I looked at him just now as well

If he plays 17 I would have done it I think.

I wonder if fail hub is going to have Pole in the system at some stage today…

Who is he losing it to? PYTM said Fitz dropped for reason

Might just go Tago to Kennedy and Fermor to Moses. See how Aitken goes this week.

I want as many on the park as possible for 17 so I want at least 6 more players so need to make two trades this week. Means I can hopefully get IPap a little cheaper and see if Barnett backs it up. BE of 39 he shouldn't increase too much. Moses has a high BE but can see him having a big game against a shit Bunnies team.

ergh. players get dropped. then they do the thing the coach wanted to see from them. and get picked again. or any other young player could get a start there in the next month or so. the knights are shit. they're always making changes. barnett, a middle forward (according to him), has only started 3 times on edge this season. wouldn't call him a certainty to stay there. he also wont be at the club next season, but in the short term i don't think that is an issue as AOB is desperate for wins

People said don't get Elliot because he is going to another club next season. Ipap is going to another club next season. Barnett looks like middle player but played a lot on edge previous seasons. He's been filling in at lock with Mann out

Seen people wanting to pay 260k more for Elliot now than I did weeks ago because what about job security. Sometimes just got to take a punt
