NRL fantasy 2022 - Part 47 - Fuck off fickle fans.

615/13 with Captain Nicho to play along with three of Elliott, Starling, Fermor, Peoples. Wouldn't have been bad except for Lolo and Trbo injuries.

Initial trade thoughts are Lolo (if out a while) and Trbo out for Tohu and Keary. Would mean missing out on Kiraz, who does look good for cash but meh Bulldogs outside backs, wouldn't be playing him.

12/658 C for me. Lolo the big let down with 8. Arrow, Ilias, Starling, Elliot and Hynes to come.

I don’t understand the thinking behind trying to pick which one of Cleary and Hynes scores the most each week……lock one and ride the average. I reckon they both end up around the same place come seasons end*


*I have been known to be less than accurate occasionally

Addin Fonua Blake could have played his last game for the Warriors this season, if fears that he has a lisfranc foot injury are proved correct.

Aitken to the middle.

Curran back soon shoves Tohu to prop?

Don't know about must have but Lodge and AFB news definitely cements his 50+ minutes

If I think Hynes and cleary will average exactly the same for the remainder of the season wouldn’t I be incentivised to try and pick which one will do better on a weekly basis, (based on match ups)

if it is actually possible to do so, it’s ballsy to try and interpret when cleary will have us off days or when sharks/Hynes will be pap

The only question i have is whether Hynes could average as much as cleary overall which through cleary a slight 2022 nerf and Hynes stepping up to unheralded levels it appears they will average similar / fwiw I think panthers being much better than sharks will help cleary average higher


Hopefully the above sort of makes sense

Most probably Curran to the edge, Tohu to Lock and Murchie and Alternate as starting Prop

666/14c with Hynes, Elliott, Starling, and Ilias still to play.

I understand that there is a fair bit to gain by guessing the ‘right’ way each week but… I think that @ynot, among others, has done some pretty informative work on this in previous seasons, and shown that matchups don’t necessarily matter that much, with the possible exception of outside backs (and even then not significantly).

In saying that, trying to pick the winner each week does introduce some extra tension and excitement into the game so each to their own
