NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 16 - That's a Starling Choice

Currently thinking Lolo to Starling and Russell to T May

Leaves 197k in Cleary funds. Next week, I'd be about ~115k short of Mahoney to Cleary, so cash down one of Mann/Bullemor/Nanai to a cheapie to make up the gap.

Still leaves me having to play two of May, Ilias, Coates and Bullemor this week. Yuck.

You only need 1 hand to score tries

Can you let Uto and Staggs in on these secrets please?

Does anyone know if Blayke Brailey will keep playing 80 mins at hooker or will mcinnes take minutes off him ?

MF wrote:Put off Brailey as well with Mcinness AND Brindall on there

Been one of their best and has been playing 80 for the last few years, you’d think that stays

McInnes signed as a middle and working towards an 80 min lock role (so it seems) and Trindall as backs cover, if you look at his other games off bench he also got subbed as a forward so maybe a roving role

Still keen on Brailey especially with Grant out

What's the consensus on Taylan May?

Have to think he grabs a few tries on the end of that Penrith background, will 6-8 weeks be enough? Or beware the Panthers doctors?

So useful I don't have to think about trading him in this week

Is Tuilagi just a headknock, haven't seen any updates on him really?

If you were going to trade one and keep the other:

TU: Trade Tuilagi, build more Cleary bank
TD: Trade Russell

OK what is everyone's thoughts on Mann? I am very tempted to go Mann>Starling for a 1 trade week.

But I am not convinced.

Anyone know how long McCullough is supposed to be out for?

I have Haas, but want to captain the prettiest beans. Tricky.

With the grant news I cant even field a full team. My season is done.

I'm going to spend the rest of the season talking you all into bad trades.

Starling looks like a good pick this week with grant out.

Am I wrong in thinking Taylan May has had some wraps on him for a while through juniors? Was always the better May brother coming through?

EDIT: Averaged 47.2 in 11 games last year in NSW Cup

I'm going with Beans but my other options are Mahoney & Angus so not much of a punt all things considered.

If I had Haas i'd leave it on him....but that's me

You had me at 'done'.

NRL PHYSIO
@nrlphysio
Andrew McCullough has been cleared of an elbow dislocation/fracture, with the Dragons hopeful of getting him back in the next 2 weeks (via
@telegraph_sport
). Mechanism suggested more a contusion/impact injury rather than hyperextension, so a return within 1-3 weeks makes sense

Thoughts on who to sell to get Taylan May in, keeping in mind I'm trying to free up cash for Cleary in round 5

A: Tuilagi, $183k bank
B: B Smith, $117k bank
C: Ilias, $144k bank
D: Vailea, $80k bank

Dragons website says this

"Andrew McCullough (elbow) won't be out long term but will not take part this week against the Sharks. "

Tempted to go Ilias to May for a 7K costing and to hopefully get some money pumping into some cows

(have Billy Smith, Ilias, Walters (stalling/turning into a slow burn) - Contrary to what I said earlier about "this is Ilias's game" I think Billy Smith has more chance of jagging a couple tries and starting some cash flow.

Don't think I have the resources to build more bank (154K currently) to target Cleary next week. So might go towards the way of hoping he drops some coin and letting guys like Nanai, Kings, Mann, Katoa make some more bread before I grab Cleary.
