NRL Fantasy 2022 - Part 65 - No Papi :,(

Sevu Reece the other one. Neither copped a conviction thanks to their profiles.

I'm willing to accept Reece to some extent, because it seems like he's genuinely put some work in to reform his life, quit drinking, be forgiven by his partner, and stay out of trouble since. Doesn't excuse what he did - a despicable act and I find it tricky to reconcile supporting him for the ABs regardless - but I think that's broadly how the system is meant to work. From the outside, he seems to have done the work to be rehabilitated and deserve some degree of second chance. Although I don't blame those who aren't willing to see past his actions either.

On the other hand, Frizell made no such effort. He's made no apology, no effort to show how he's changed or learned from his actions. Just completely swept under the rug for assaulting a woman and intimidating a witness and welcomed back with open arms. Total thug and Foster is just glib about it. Reprehensible, evil shit.

Anyway, back to the fantasy talk.

Wouldn’t worry thinking too far ahead, once you’re out of the eliminator this week, is there any reason worrying about the rest of the season?

Good to see you’ve upped the trash talk, the first wave was poor

Ronald Loopman

pene out for Warriors with Katoa replacing him on the bench in the only change for Raiders/Warriors 19s.

Volkman doesn't make the cut for those needing his score/after a red dot.

This just reminded me of when Schneider was legit starting for most teams loool

Can't get multi quote to work....

Anyway... thanks for the various replies from a number of the good FF folk on final team set-up and strong 17 Vs strong 18/19.

Once the byes are over I've found it incredibly hard to even make up 50 a week. You have to be consistently better and have nothing go wrong to even do that. A single week of your PODs being crap while their PODs hit a ceiling score can undo 3 weeks worth of gains

I'm not in the hunt to win anything, yet this bit of reality talk was rather depressing.... I still have delusions of catching someone at a rate nearer to 100 points a week....

I would think that's impossible unless they have mass injuries and out of trades.

That was me BTW, precious forum history right there, don't torch it!

Had a niggling thought it was you but didn’t want to hang anyone out to dry on the basis of my failing memory. I ain’t no SI.

My stance remains the same though Rev! Horocious!

I resemble that! We should have stuck with my nickname for him-Smackintyre. Meh, that was worse yeah?

Would anyone trade Manu if Koula bombs?

Haha, you misunderstood - or I wasn’t very clear. You SIr have the greatest memory on the internet!

I walk across the office at work and then forget why I was doing so.

If you've got the trades do it. Manu is at the peak of his price I would think. Priced at 60 averaging 50. Only 44 at Centre which he'll probably play from here on.
$120k made on a "downgrade" to Aitken or a straight swap to Burton? Sold.

In my defence was in a meeting for rd1.

I have both Aitken and Burton. Could literally trade him to anyone. Already have Cook and DCE though, Ted or Murray I could get maybe. I'm hoping Koula can crack a 40 though, but I'm sure the rest of the Manu owners are in the same boat with Koula.

‘Downgrade’ to Teddy surely?

Edit: get a free look at Koula.

That's probably my thinking.  It fucks my team balance pretty hard though after already trading in Latrell and Doueihi this week.  I won't have time to think about it either with the games back to back.

Although, I may turn Moses into Haas next week which balances things out again.

Other option is just get Latrell and Doueihi for Pap and Manu and keep Barnett, but I'd only do that if he's back to the second row which doesn't look likely.

Obviously can't win em all, but I can't help wondering what could have been if I got in May and Aitken this season. May for coin that basically everyone else got, not to mention some cut priced scoring. Aitken for a wonderful CTR average.

Ignoring position, if you have Cook, Cleary, DCE, Hynes, Aitken, Burton - Murray is probably the next best player you can add.

Other possible punts are Yeo, Fifita, Doueihi, Teddy
Even Hastings if you think he'll stay at lock for most of the run home.

if you specifically need a WFB then do you think 7xTeddy (or whoever) is better than 6xManu+1xKoula?

I'd probably trade Manu because if he's not at 1 or 6 he's probably not good value for his price
