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

This is a bit of a myth, especially when it comes to fantasy. More like average players in good systems get shown to be average players in an average system at the Warriors and the Warriors sure love to sign an average player.

Good players still score well in fantasy:

Addin Fonua-Blake - averaged 50 in his last season with Manly, averaged 51 in his first season with the Warriors
Tohu Harris - averaged 45 starting in his last season with the Storm, averaged 50 in his first season with the Warriors
Euan Aitken - averaged 41 his last season at the Dragons, averaged 43 (boosted by second half of the season at EDG) in his first season at the Warriors, then averaged 48 last year
Josh Curran - averaged 52 in his break out season (2021) at the Warriors after joining from the Roosters in 2019

I'm sure there are as many examples of players coming in and playing/scoring well as there are of players coming in and turning into duds.

Barnett averages better at EDG

Great post.

Warriors main problem is always going to be the appeal of getting big players over to them outside of Kiwi internationals, then those guys are often not in a position of extreme need. Have to make do with often secondary and tertiary options.

What, like all the cool choices like a lion or eagle or emu being taken so you have to make do with the third(99th) best option of a daffodil or leek as a national emblem?

I guess that'd suck.

Independently I like Tohu, Curran, AFB and Barnett but it's hard to see them all getting the minutes required

Just a question, do we know of any fantasy related discord links? Im in a supercoach one but much prefer the fantasy format

Cheers!

I'm currently in talks with Jackson Hastings from the Newcastle Knights (bye) who is interested in being a special guest competitor. The winner will get a strawberry milkshake, signed by Kalyn Ponga (also from the Newcastle Knights).

I think Barnett will play edge and big mins mate 70-80mins. He’s worth consideration at least at 617k and DPP and could be GK.

It's the surprising selection of the five IMO

cheap, probably starting fb & dpp ctr/wfb is the clincher for me & you can play him in the ctr's & because he's a fb he will score more than a ctr

By that logic you'd just stump up the extra 2k and run HTF who's got an infinitely higher ceiling
