NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 57 - No Mam!

Anyway @Aardvark I'm sorry but you're mistaken. Trent is a relative neologism being a probable portmanteau from the Welsh 'tros' (over) and 'hynt' (way) leading to a literal meaning of 'trespasser'. Tresspasser Peoples should definitionally be unwelcome in your team.

But @filthridden one should also be cautious of players eponymous to Hitler's everyman car - cute Beetle visage of both notwithstanding

I think Daniel Wagon is our only data point so far and I am happy if Volkman scores anywhere near as well as he did!

I saw him referred to as a 'gun' in the fox article (alongside the mandatory front row 'enforcer' tag for Paul Vaughan) someone better tell @Rabbits21 he's coming home

Magoo!

Aardvark wrote:Despite my worst start ever (Angus & Reed as 'guns') I still think the move that has defined my season was Hastings in, Burton out after round 7

Points - 262 vs 474
Net loss based on current pricing $127k
Trades - 2 and counting

It was a pure rage trade as well and I knew it at the time....bonehead

At least my Burton trade out was to Cleary - but having him missing from my team is my biggest frustration at the moment. Cost me my head to head against my nemesis at work on the weekend.

I feel stuck now though - can't pay up this high to get him back in but missing his potential points for the next 4 weeks to hope for a cheaper price also doesn't seem to make sense.

I swapped him to Mam last week coz I needed cover for DCE & haven’t looked back..

Yeah, same. I took him out R7 for Cleary. And I think the week before and the week after the trade he scored 30s. Since then absolutely gunning it. Chose Turbo over him in R10. Didn't want to pay 700k in R12. Now he's 800k and still don't want to pay it.

Rabbit likes this.

His name literally translates to "people man".

People is multiple persons which means he will score multiples of what other persons score.

You gotta know the system to beat it.

If he does alright this week I'll use him as a cash-out next round so I can bring in Isiaiah Papalii

The name Papalii translates to... http://nghialagi.net/en/p/Papalii-meaning

Dragons to slay the bunnies tonight, Suli a double.

Got him last week, seems to be decently consistent hitting mid 30s+ across cup and nrl assuming he stays until Campbell is back seems a decent shout

Concerns mainly Isaako to fb brimmo 6

Got him last week also,think Matt did. He is a cash out though not a Cleary. Looked good in space, but is a Titan do mind.

Legit think we’ll be up for this.

Basically have clocked off work, deciding now whether I wear the scarlet and white home Steelers jersey or the white and scarlet away Steelers jersey on the couch tonight. It’s a cold night forecast, so will give St George a token nod with the footy socks.

Dragons by 134 (means we are ahead of Souffs on the ladder)

And that's not going to happen.

If he gets injured again it could

Russell (loop) and Koula, Mam with Kiraz in the starting side if Koula goes crap than Mam's in

Yep I see a Dragons win here. Got no Steelers kit here. My tipping is atrocious though.

I was really pumped for some Thursday footy....but I just can't see this game being anything but dire. Which just means I've no-one playing I suspect, but still.

Can someone pump me up with things to be enthused about for the game? Some contests? Fireworks? Likely dubious bunker calls?

Mine is shocking also this year, even aside from the irrational Dragons picks.

I actually have some Sharks socks. Years ago played futsal and needed blue footy socks on short notice. It was the best I could do.

McCullough 300th first grade game, scores a double.

Tariq Sims gonna fire up and dominate Cam Murray to retain his Origin spot.

Lomax and Rava will completely shut down the highly rated Souths left side, playing Campbell Graham out of Origin contention until Game 3 2027, when he comes in following a Lomax hammy injury that prevents the comps leading pointscorer from playing his 12th successive state game.

Molo will do something noteworthy, but I won't say what or even which one, because I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Stuck on trades this week, holding solid on Hastings due to my R17 numbers

476k bank which I don’t really just want sitting there, any suggestions lads?
