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

The dogs coach said in his presser he's a big fan of Kiraz, spoke pretty highly of him saying he's been impressed with him in the juniors too.

Sounds promising

I wasn't going to buy Tevaga but with Lodge gone & potential AFB injury (I read an article which said it could be season ending but that could just be for click baits as it hasn't been conformed) they will lose 2 middles so could see Tevaga with more mins. Or should I just get Tohu as you know he's guaranteed 80 mins. The price difference is only 43k. Cheers.

Early thoughts are Tuilagi and Randall out for Tohu and Kiraz/Savage. Will hold lolo.

Harris or Butcher? Harris is a keeper and one would be a loan until Radley comes back.

Thinking of going the way of the Doggie this week:
Talakai + Taaffe out > Butcher + Kiraz in.
Leaves me $362k ITB

Next week: 
Lolo becomes Tohu
Meaney waits around for Pappy to return. (Or Teddy)

Rd. 13 team would be playing 11 (so long as Nanai / Cotter / Burton aren't selected for SOO) 
Robson
Mad Max / Elliot / Tohu
Nanai / Butcher
Burton / NA
Tago / NA
Kiraz / Koula / NA
Res. Cotter

Is this enough to stay in touch with the top 1000?

The dogs let go of Naden because we have some good young centres in our system (Kiraz, Alamoti and Schoupp). Kiraz has shown heaps of promise and should start over Averillo or Okunbor.

I'm probably going to do:
Haas & Taumalolo out - T. Harris & N. Butcher in

This gives me 17 for round 13 but that includes Billy Smith, Rushton who are doubts making the 17 & Cotter, S. Crichton who could be picked for origin. The 4 trades in round 13 will sort those potential outs.

I know others will debate but I think Cotter is a certainty for QLD. Nanai has been getting huge wraps also. With Fifita off the grid he may snag a jersey too if Slater wants to blood a bunch of debutants

I like those trades....I was going to wait a week on Taumalolo..... I might bring Butcher in this week and see what happens, Harris' price shouldn't be going up next week

This could be pure coincidence (it's a small sample size and I can't really put my finger on why it should make much difference), but for everyone considering Sexton, I present the following:

Average with Jayden Campbell: 53.8
Average without Jayden Campbell: 39.1 (25.5 this season)

The main difference is KM which go from 411 with to 246 without. His tackle count also jumps from 17 to 22 and attacking output goes from 0.2 TAs and 0.1 LBAs per game to 0.8 TAs and 0.6 LBAs per game. TO tackles also jump from 0.4 to 1.2 which is probably more of a random thing.

Again, I don't really know why playing with vs without Campbell should make much difference and my gut instinct is to dismiss it as coincidence. It's very possible it's just a draw thing or reading too much into a small sample size, but take from that what you will.

I don't need a centre with Kiraz coming in (I can move May to CTR), and I can get anyone 702k or less.

Tohu is probably a keeper to the end, but Butcher is cheap and has time to make money.

I don't get the centre bit. Kiraz is WFB only atm

Tevaga has great job security now which put me off getting several weeks ago. His minutes won't change much. Maybe 65mins tops

BMM could be an excellent Leo replacement too. 282K and dual. Surely should see an uptick in minutes also, even when Curran returns.

Another forum poster talked this up before last game (can remember their picture but not username lol)

I was paying close attention last game on his minutes. Off on 16mins for Lussick and not back on until AFB had to come off 70th min. Wouldn't get too excited about him

Fair enough mate, nice observations.

A lot of the top teams don't have many rd13 players atm, so you should be good

That poster called @sgdragons mentioned him last week as a possible cow, but no one bit. I made a joke which he didn't seem to appreciate either
