NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 104 - What do numbers even mean anymore

With the NRL announcing a higher cap will they tweak Fantasy ? Seems like too good an opportunity to fuck up to miss.

Hopgood Blore SJ Stone

I like the Miller pick, looks significantly under-valued if he is starting fullback.

Looking at a back 3 of Miller, Ponga and CNK for some great value fullbacks.

I thought people were being intentionally misleading trolls by including TTurbo, but a few of the less trollish folks have done so. Isn't he out for a while with paper hammys!

He's gone to America where he will get new bionic hamstrings + likely to be available for round one.
Although, coach Seibold might have a super super clever game plan that involves exclusively using Turbo as a decoy runner - it's the last thing any opposition will ever expect mwah hahaha

Won’t the player prices also go up as a result? Have price’s already been locked?

John Bateman to WT for 23 season, should be announced in the coming days (DT)

I can’t see player prices changing is the word I’m hearing.

Great news for the Tigers with players on 850k or there abouts that’ll be the new 1mil under this 11.45mil cap for top 30.

Tigers pack looks great I think Doueihi will benefit from it. Brooks can’t have any excuses now either! Laurie should get better attacking opportunities as well. Wests still look a bit short in the backs but I expect them to improve to about 9th or 10th.

Tigers pack Klemmer, Api, Ofa, Ipap, Blore, Bateman, Twal Uto..... looking good.


I’m hearing Manu has been training a bit as a 13 as well for the Rorters he’s gonna continue to roam and he’s got DPP. I think he will have a big year they have Dolphins and Warriors first he could go 70 plus in both games. Anyone keen on Manu? 730k dpp.


Hmmmm also despite round 3 bye I still think I want Cleary.

I wonder if Cleary having a bye round 3 will put people off him, there is Kenny too.

Oh and fuck how could I forget Soni Luke too.

Anyone know what happened to Stefano Utoikamanu last year. There is not indication he was injured. Appears to have jusr dropped off the plant

EDIT here we go. We seems to be well priced

although pretty big fall from grace compared to 2021

I think Cleary is still a goer despite the early bye provided you've got a VC option in round 3. Given Hynes also has an early bye (R6) no massive advantage or disadvantage either way.

As for the early VC option Haas looks favourable with the Broncos first bye in R16. Rabbitohs also have 3 late byes so Cook or Murray could be a shout.

Hmm Haas will play origin though so imagine he will be affected before round 16 whether in origin camp or being rested. Murray and Cook are too expensive need to wait til they come cheaper. Murray also likey to be rested before our late bye too I think.

The interesting thing I thought of tonight was say you go Sloan Sullivan in your 18-21 you’d have to be close to certain that they will start round 2. Imagine getting them for your 19th and 20th man then come round 2 and go oh fuck they’re not named! So much more things to think about for next season. Some of you will say it’s too early to think fantasy well it never is for me baby

What a Xmas pressie. Been gagging to get back into it. Some interesting changes. Those extra trades will make rage trading that much more tempting

Given Amone decided it’s Hammer time, you’d think he probably get no fault stand down which means Sullivan is fairly safe

Round 1 bye for a cash cow isn’t too bad I don’t think because you at least have certainty over the rest of your squad availability and it’s 1 bye out of the way.

Murray looks underpriced to me by the way as average includes his 1 point in final round + very late 1st bye of R16 which is major bye round you can only field 13 for

This is absolutely made up and stems from a quote Sam Walker had that was blown out of proportion. Walker said that Manu roamed so much at the back end of the year it was like having an extra forward rather than a centre. At no point will Manu being playing 13

Rabbits hearing things, next level like Weidler or Mole now

Well it was what I got told from a guy who works at the NRL headquarters who has seen them training I know he won’t be playing 13 but he will be ball playing at times like a 13 does. Not wearing the 13 but doing what some of a 13 does.

I was looking at Carrigan but last year he only avg 49 in games when Haas played as well, they both seem to take points off one another. It’s when one of them is out the other goes better. Take out Carrigan injured games last year he avg 53 he’s priced at 50.

The thing on Murray is he did play some more mins last year can he keep up such a workload. Keep in mind Host was out long term and you’d think Host plays his usual 55mins off the bench which will push Arrow to middle. But with Murray being such a focal point of our attack maybe his mins will stay the same.

I'd love to be on whatever drugs the doctor has put Rabbits on. In reality he is sitting on the bog reading the Sydney Morning Herald. I his imagination some one from NRL headquarters calls the bat phone in his secret cave dropping hints just for him in case he wants to become a sports journo.   https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/worse-problems-to-have-how-roosters-will-juggle-5m-play-making-puzzle-20221219-p5c7c5.html

That being said - I will be picking Manu and Bird as my starting CTRs this year

Alright don’t believe me see it for yourself when the season starts I have no reason to lie to anybody. Thought you’d like some info I don’t get it often but when I do I share
