NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 68 - Cleary Captaincy Conundrum

Tossing up options. Assuming Cleary gets the 3 weeks he surely deserves.
Murray or Munster?
I have DCE & Moses to fill the halves.

Lane has served me well as my only real pod. 70+ two weeks in a row with no tries.

Going to be overtaken in the remaining games. Annoying but I have to hope for low scores from my own players Hynes and Burton to limit the damage. 12 of the current top 30 didn’t captain Cleary.

Would be a great week for the giant slug on the Titans edge to go large.

Just finished watching the game on delay. What a spanner in the works hey. Another Cleary captainer here.

Initial thoughts are probably Cleary -> Teddy via Moses to the halves and Doueihi covering HLF/WFB from the bench. Probably a better balance that is a small silver lining, means I only have to rely on Gagai for CTR cover, not WFB too.

Yep I'll be tossing up Murray or Munster all week

Munster with a good game first up against Titans then run home against top 8 sides so he should step up, especially with Storm aiming for top 4

Murray also with a run home against top 8 teams so don't think he can afford to be rested

Would you reverse McInness + Kennedy to Murray + Mbye, or stick with that regardless? 3 trades left if I stick with it, 5 if I reverse.

Depends how many trades you would feel comfortable with if you plan on trading Cleary but I think McInnes > Murray is definitely reversible given Finucane out

I'm not really a betting man, but Eels at $17 has me interested. Just feel like the kind of team that could get on a bit of a roll from here.

Don't hate Melbourne at $10 either, too much quality in that spine not to give it a good shake still.

I’m a stick with your avatar forever dude but It’s been so long I’ve lost the original ‘Keith’ pick so it has forced a change

I remember the day you joined and everyone loved you’re avatar. I think SI may have actually creamed his jocks

I’ll just add my vote for avatar of the year and it goes to brownstone

be very tempted to reverse this - 5 trades and cleary money to play with will be nice, mcinnes should go alright this week and mbye is just a cash down,

iPap 77
Lane 70

If you enter get onto the piss. My god old John west

i feel legit guilty that i'll win my H2H, (most likely) on the back of that cleary debacle, was shaping up for a good match,

as for overall fuck you lot i want them ranks - tedesco was a great choice - but in H2h i feel bad

Just been watching some commonwealth games. Going to bed now. Only got home from work at midnight. I’ve watched the Cleary tackle six times and I think it has to be a grade 3 he has a prior offence too so grade 3 would be 5 weeks, if it’s grade 2 it’s 3 weeks.


I’m reversing RFM to Murray I think gonna save a trade have 3 left and 350k spare. Take the hit this week I think. I can use Matamua to loop Booth and Kennedy anyway. Booth gets over 30 I’ll take it.

Because I can do Cleary to Murray next week.

Moses and DCE be my halves I might run without cover in my 14-21 and risk it!

RFM might be back next week too and if not I decide then what I do.

Smart logic?

Generally speaking I would reverse any trade of a playing player upgrade as you can sell Cleary instead next week

However RFM is a difficult case as rib cartilage could be similar to Matterson and extend for a couple of weeks without knowing timeframe

Nah feel no shame in smashing Rabbits this week now

Trades are locked so no going back for me. Cleary out next week will leave me with 1
