NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 24 - Responsibility is not a good look for me

Probably ends up at the Dogs.

Alright, you guys have convinced me, I have brought in Hosking and Ford.

I have DCE in the halves so didn't have to get Cleary, and now I might just hold Boyd through for round 6 and go straight to DCE/Hynes from R7.

and I managed to offload the terrible BMM as well, so that works for me.

Haha yeah that's the first reaction. Sounds too good to be true doesn't it? Just letting people know about it - not suggesting anybody does it.

That is an omen...

Reminds me of the time when I had the perfect amount of money for Moylan a couple of years ago.

Needless to say that did not end well.

Not fantasy relevant, but interesting article about why the Dragons suck.

TLDR: they take way longer to complete their sets than anyone else, even though they play boring footy with not many passes.  Last week they were almost 50/50 in time in possession but Sharks had 47 sets to the Dragons 34

Yeah, it was between Uto & Sutton for me at the start of the year. Went with the 'safe' option which has been underwhelming...if I had Uto I'd probably be thinking harder about it

Uto doesn't get the double movement try and you are thinking very differently about him - 2 scores in 30s, a 40 and getting 45 minutes a week.

Yep - he could go up 100k with a big score and the Raiders edge he is on is down Wighton this week.

I reckon if someone trades Hosking in and they don't have Cleary, they could reasonably consider (C)Hosking

It's seems regularly 5-10 higher BE than official in this case 10pts different

yeah i own sutton too & considering selling him but someone on here made a good point earlier that with brown out & the bench including j. reynolds, waddell, pele, tanner then sutton may get an extra 5-10 mins which will see him scoring 45-50 points.

Yeah haven't completely made up my mind yet but my gut feel is that Sutton stalls between $550-$600k and around 40 points/week, which is fine but not anything to write home about.....so I'm leaning towards selling.

Sounds like Warriors last season without checking

I did this back in the day at the first Auckland Nines tourney on Betfair betting from my phone at the stadium. Didn't bet anything crazy as I was pretty skint but made a couple hundred just betting on whoever scored a try. Nines was perfect for it because of how fast the action was.

People also still do this and make a few hundred per game. It sounds like NRL and cricket's the best for it for some reason.

Swings and roundabouts. The week he got that try he also set a big PB for negatives with 3 errors, 2 penalties, a couple of 6 agains against.

Which is why I choose Sutton...looked like it was going alright for a few rounds but watching the games in the last few weeks it doesn't look like he's putting his hand up for more minutes

TBH I just think of Uto was a younger Moses Leota in that he looks great but is destined to never be that fantasy relevant

I like it. Patience is a virtue

Who would you get rid of for Ford? Trindall or HSS. HSS removes CTR cover from the bench. Have Talau feels from him

Definitely fantasy relevant.

Something to consider for tackle dependant scorers, when playing the Dragons.

I used to loved the Raiders for the opposite of this, as they would try roll through the middle and run one out off the ruck - so tacklers would always rack up huge numbers playing them.

My view on Hosking

He's an easy in, makes 200K if he plays at a similar level for the next two weeks then Him and Carty become Hynes and a Nuffie after the Sharks Bye

I think I have a higher risk appetite than you do, and as such would opt for trading HSS. Roll with the zero cover. Yes it may screw you for a late exclusion but that is unlikely and if a CTR cops an injury this weekend, just make a necessary trade the following week.

Trindall makes money for doing nothing this week. trade him for that centre cover next week

Currently going Uto and Doorey to Hosking and Hands

Thoughts on this? First week where I have been a bit lost.

Jack Bostock anyone?

Yeah it feels straight forward. Does make my emergency a bit lopsided either way. The other option is to jump on the band wagon and go Trindall to Hoskins. 

I’ve tooted the money making horn of Ford enough though so should probably plant the flag
