NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 39 - How big is yours?

Surely chrichton scores more than taafe.

Im betting (with my selection he doesn’t)

Taafe 28,36,14,31
Crichton 17,28,59,28

3 out of 4 taafe has out scored him, admittedly Crichton has a much better average, I just think this weeks matchup I’m gonna chose taafe

Think rabbits win tonight, think Adam Reynolds kicking game will lead to lots of taafe metres and backing him to score a try

Happy to be wrong though and sensible choice is Crichton, just not the way I do things

I like that you go with your gut, and what will give you the best kick if it comes off.

Problem with FB/CTR is that variance so no harm in your thinking - good luck.

Could he benefit from a more attacking Sea Beagles outfit and come up with a few more 4 pointers like a certain 90's Swedish sedan beloved by university professors and architects of that era?

All the same $30k is $30k

I got on Tui before his first game. Has been an unexpected positive gamble. Looks to have the wing spot now. I've noticed he's a bit slow, but he's a bit big I'd say, which benefits fantasy for TB's.

Let me know if you get him and we can cheer him on together

If taafe fails spectacularly tonight I’ll have forgotten about it by tomorrow

Hoping Koula plays this week, or I'm gonna have to be playing Vailea/Berry/Lee

Did you trade in Carrigan this week?

Yes. Great form, massively underpriced and benefits from any Haas issues

Are you trading him thinking he plays origin?

Averaged 44.5 in 55 minutes last year. Has indeed looked good this year up until injury, but massively underpriced is a bit of a stretch.

ShadowSabre wrote:Damn, I am now second guessing all trades lol

Am I foolish for pivoting from Difif --> Crichton to DFifi --> Schuster due to bye coverage?

I think it's fine, but keep an eye out that Schuster isn't a late scratching or something. Didn't train due to being unwell.

Fifita/Schuster/Crichton don't lock until Saturday, with Schuster being first. If you spent the cash freed up on someone playing earlier, then maybe don't have the luxury of waiting.

Thoughts on going Tass over Elliot this week to be able to go

Leo to Josh Jackson next week

Just looking at the Late Mail. Take it as you wish...

Both Fox and NRL have May playing over Staines.

Both have Billy Myth as a chance to come in for Momi (watch out loopers).

NRL has Ponga swapping to 5/8th. Fox has him playing a 5/8th in attack, FB in defence role. Not sure whether that's positive, negative or neutral for his scoring.

Can confidently predict you'll be ahead of me for the round tonight. (0/0)

Not bothering with the byes this year?

Only Cook in the 17 for me tonight, but I'd like Ilias and Taaffe to pull their respective fingers out and eek out a price rise.

Tui looks decent both fantasy and irl. Might be the 'new Taufua' and manly love a "cult hero" winger. Get the feeling he sticks around. Saab is dogshit
