NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 63 - The decider (not really but I watched the bluey episode today and loved it)

Thoughts on trading Averillo and Mam for Manu and Booth? Manu is enough of a ball hog that as long as he stays at 6, he is easily a keeper, and having Booth means I can cover a late Cook out this week.

It would leave me with 1 trade and 207k bank, so I could get one more gun in next week for Ramsey and then hold the +4 trades for injuries.

Cook
Ipap, Matto, MKing
Angus, Elliott
Cleary, Munster
Burton, Mulitalo
Papy, Hynes, Manu

Moses, RFM, May, Palasia

Ramsey, Koula, Booth, Vailea

#1 That Clarkey guy is an absolute knob
#2 Keary due back next week. I don't see how Keary or Sam Walker get dropped. Manu staying in the halves doesn't make sense unless one of them drops back to the bench and I don't think either of them really offer enough off the bench - they certainly not are gonna play Keary at hooker.

Would love to see Manu at 6 from a fantasy perspective but I don't see how it happens when their halves are fit.

This is interesting. Was just settled on Matamua and here's the curveball haha

Clark served me pretty well for longer than ideal, but IRL I think he's better suited to play 13. Potentially more of a Havili type than a genuine hooker.

Never seen Booth play though (at least that I can recall) so no idea how he goes.

Yeah that's fair enough. Teddy is also not much more than Manu so I think I'll wait a week and get Teddy next week instead - so I would just do Avo to Booth this week (or even just reverse it if it looks like Cook will back up)

Booth was in the Storm system, he wasn't great from what I remember but no surprise he left considering he was stuck behind Grant and Cheese

If he’s going to be playing 80 i don’t care how bad he is haha a score is a score in a pinch.
And he will be HOK backup for Grant

Just curious where the Keary back next week is from. I've seen the Clarkey graphic and doesn't even say Keary out season just people misinterpreting

To be fair I can't remember where I read it and it wasn't concrete, it was something like "expected to be back next week" or "out for another week" or something like that so could be longer and no direct quote from coach/medical. Could just be going on old timeframes.
