NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 71 - Looking for signs of life

Any chance NAS keeps his big minute edge role with Kaufusi back in the team ?

He has previously been an 80 minute player but interestingly enough the Storm lineup looks the same as the last couple of weeks but with Kaufusi instead of Eisenhuth.

If Kaufusi and Kamikamica swap before kick off I reckon this confirms it and I'll be pretty tempted to pull the trigger on Elliott to NAS.

Anyone else keen on NAS? Could be a master stroke if he goes big again and gets your team over the line in the H2H finals

Rolling with 16 this week, No trades left and Aitken and Mbye both out. Sitting 70th in FOG, was hoping I’d be able to gain 1 spot over the last couple of rounds but might struggle now!

Jesus, what a dud mbye has been. Why do i fall for this shit year after year.

Was intending on bringing Aitken in

Who would be the best trade in for Aitken?

Koula looks pretty good at FB. The hammer is also back to FB and dear den out with a sore bollox
Campbell graham is also an option but doesn’t have the DPP bonus

615k to spend, my final trade

Am I missing something Glaringly obvious?
Cheers

Is there a case for not spending your final trade on the deadest position in fantasy if you knew Aitken would be back next week

I think the opportunity cost of the 1 less player this round out weighs the potential gain next week anyhow.

He was my final trade in last week of course.

Who is your other centre? Any WFB you move to CTR and bring in a WFB or anything like? Not playing Burton in the halves?

Will he definitely be back next week?

No news either way as far as I'm aware and given the sudden nature of the withdrawal I'd say it's doubtful. Hope everything's OK with him and I'm wrong.

Just been running bare back with burto and aitken in centres for a few weeks now. Got me (and many others I have no doubt) in the end.

Koula is leading my list atm… he looked good last week in a horrible result. Graham is the more expensive, but proven pick.

Only WFB cover is doohey atm, got halvescover so not too stressed.

If Dearden wasn't back next week I'd keep Aitken on the chance he's back and turn Palasia into Hammer.

Koula sounds like a lock. Could score well against the Raiders and next week the Bulldogs.

I knew exactly what I was in for but pulled the trigger anyway…..he has exceeded expectations by being far worse than I imagined

I’m going to play Bird at centre and be happy I can field 17. Might use my last trade next week. Hopefully frivolously and not out of necessity.

There’s a big lad who plays in the centres for the sharks…..might be worth a punt

Broncos fans might suggest Herbie Farnworth is a better centre than the two youve selected

I keep looking at the centres but they are all pretty shit.  Tempted to run with 16 and save the trade and hope a gun gets rested......if we hear Aitken is suiting up next week.

Although Bird playing the Tigers and Broncos is tempting......or Lomax even.
