NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 69 - for Toast

Didn't realise Pole was starting at lock. Would you play him ahead of Barnett or Cheese?

You heard it here first.

Tough one. Barnett should give us 40 but Cheese is an unknown. Could cause some damage tonight. Poles minutes would be the unknown concern.

Don't think so....he could end up in the Kobe Hetherington class of starting locks (playing around 30 mins). Looking at the bench I reckon the Peach is primed to steal a big load of minutes from him.

I'm playing Cheese over Barney. But I have a long history of bad decisions, as the Chinese girl's name tattooed on my hip can attest.

I would play cheese, barnett, pole

The only other time Pole was named to start he played 48mins for 35.

This for me - can see Melbourne smashing titans today

Just a feeling though

One of the few posters with reputation > post number, and for good reason.

Munster starting at fullback

Outstanding

If the Titans can hold them to under 30 would be a tremendous effort

So anyone still grabbing Munster following the switch to fullback? Would much prefer him at 6. Not sure if the extra meters gained will offset the loss in KM and tackles.

Sticking with him. Still think he scores more over the remaining weeks than the other half options and I want a half for cover purposes.

I mean the Tigers are going from the most ball playing ball-playing-lock in Hastings to naming Pole who has passed the ball once (an offload) in over 3 hours of first grade football.

Don't be surprised to see Pole actually just play as a Prop and Joffa to revert back to playing Lock as he did prior to Hastings 3 games there.

I'd go Barnett (with a bench of Crossland, Sasagi, Saulo & Croker), then Brandon Smith (just in case Bellamy is planning on making him earn back decent minutes), then Pole (as much as I may have a Tigers related man-crush on him)

Munster goes good at fb

It's one week - who knows it could be a thing of beauty, or it could be 30 points, but whatever happens; it's likely to be entertaining

If I had 5 trades left, I'd be riding that pony all the way to the finish line.

Pretty wet in Melbourne so could be a few errors.

My main team has neither a Storm nor a Titans player.
Hoping for a low scoring affair in the wet (title of my sextape)

Kikau out for Panthers. Rough few weeks
