NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 68 - Cleary Captaincy Conundrum

Alright screw this, I'm done for the year. See you next year if I decide to even play again.  

BTW I used to post here previously under the username Johnny B Goode. Think I'd tried to ditch the forum but couldn't resist ranting about fantasy so I just made a new account ha.  

I like the way this Edoog B YnnhoJ thinks

1. Wishart
2. Nofoaluma
3. Seve
4. Anderson
5. Ieremia

(Meaney injured and Olam has COVID)

Wishart will finally score more than 16.

Haas looks like a must have with that bench and no Carrigan.

When he plays more than 60 minutes his average is 28.

Not awesome, but when teams are struggling to field 17 its certainly got some upside to it

He'll be sitting happily in jersey 18 for me this week.

Haha obviously I'm all about the big issues - only noticed it during 2020 I think.

What a crock of shit.

The only thing special about Bulldogs fans is they're most likely to start a riot.

Is this like end of season 2? Do we have a season 3? Does Johnny comes back a changed man. Will MrSnrub ever make peace with the unqualified opinion holders of fantasy fanatics? Can't wait to find the answer in Feb'23.

Does that mean that any Bulldogs supporter at the game can be called upon to fill in at 18th man when the opportunity arises?

Only season ticket holders (it's in the T&Cs)

Kade Dykes is Adam Dykes lad.  From what I've seen in his NSW cup games, probably has more to offer than Kennedy anyway.

Bit reluctant to captain  Hynes, in case fitzy pulls a game day swifty with Dykes

This scares me now you mention it

Hopefully not, it's happened before though

Strongly considering Haas as captain this week. Should be in for big minutes. Will probably just go DCE or Nico though

See you next week mate

Carrigan and Cleary out for

Tapine and Brown

Cook and Hunt

Munster and CM9/Tohu/Fifita

Matterson/Yeo and Cotter (though I'd prefer a half to keep Douehi on the bench as DPP cover.

Taps and Brown seems the best option to me. Leaves me with 1 trade.

My finalish team (1 trade remaining after Cleary & Klemmer to Cook and DBrown)

Cook
Haas McInnes Tapine
IPap Crichton
DCE Brown
Burton Bird
Hynes Teddy Doueihi

Tohu Elliot Ming Brailey
Mam Booth Kennedy Trindall

Yeo could see big minutes with no Cleary/Luai.

Just checked and a small sample size (3) this year but Yeo with Cleary averages 56.5 in 74mins, without 62.3 in 79mins.
Minutes don't change much but maybe more output is required.

Key stats seem to be 4 offloads in those three games vs 2 offloads in all other games, higher metres and only one missed tackle in those games - could speak to weaker opposition or could be he's more inclined to be second/third man in and save his energy a little.

Cleary and Moses out for Murray and Brown.

Hold on tight for the rest of the season

I think this is definitely solid analysis despite the small sample. 2 inexperienced guys in the spine means Yeo and Koroisau will both do a lot more with the ball. Depends how many fantasy points that will translate too

I see RFM named at 22nd man...is he in the reserves to have a chance of playing or just a lack of numbers so they have to name someone.

Tempting to push Nicho into halves, probably won't  though
