NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 71 - Looking for signs of life

1080 for me this week means I've finally cracked into the top 100 (of the FOG)

Hannah Southwell injured her knee in today's game and got up and played out the next 20min to finish the half.

She wasn't just hanging around hiding on the edges, she was running up the middle into heavy contact.

Club are expecting scans to confirm she's torn her ACL.

Autofill league update for anyone who's interested:

1 - Auto Go A Bit Better This Year - (Teeth Eater) - 20042
2 - Nuffies & Plodders - (WT2K)- 19665 (-377)
3 - Bed Bath and Biondi-Odo - (filthridden) - 19617 (-48)
4 - The Canoga Park Kid - 19501 (-116)
5 - Hull Sharks - 19476 - (-25)

Top place looks pretty much sewn up but I think 2nd to 5th could see some movement over the last two rounds especially if there are player restings.

I had a good round scored 1061, overall rank up from 687 to 573. I have no trades left Elliot to Cotter was my last one. Mbye today then went and injured his hammy so I now have 4 red dots. Anyone know if Kennedy could be back round 25? No doubt I’ll probs only have 14-15 playing in round 25 lol.

Ipap, Fifita, DCE, Munster, C Hynes, Teddy, Angus and Moses all smashed it for me. Murray, Lolo, Burton, Aitken and Tohu a bit underwhelming.

In mixer I scored 526. Rank 225 currently and 7th in FOG mixer league. If I put the C on Kelly over Joseph I would have the same score as Camo but oh well!

1069 for me thanks to the Crichtcher combination

1103 for me and have gone 429>275. It’s been a great finish to the year, hoping I can keep it up.

I think the optimal team for GW1 mixer is:

Grant 79
Butcher 90
Chricton 208*
Southwell 63
Kelly 82
Brenner 174
TOTAL: 696

*Crichton has apparently scored 104 in the mixer but 101 in NRLFF. Actually seems like a lot of updates haven’t gone through yet

Sorry about the league 6 defeat Bludger. You were a worthy opponent.

I got 1091 and improved rank to 214. It would be nice to get above rank 200. I have 20 green dots and one trade but I think I’ll hold.

No worries mate,
I'm just stoked to actually be in the 1000+ conversation.
Good game - your team is one gun better.

Unreal. What a champion

Thought I had you for a second and then Bird did what he did and then it was going to be a nail biting finish frizell v Klemmer but i guess my lucky late charge has come to an end. Frizell pulls out and I Fizzled out of contention

Well done mate good luck in the rest of the season.

Hey guys, thinking of trading in NAS for Elliot this week. Elliott had been underperformed massively like he is carrying an injury maybe.

NAS has been killing it playing big mins on the edge running at small platers out there he is a bit of a weapon with scores of 69 and 83. This trade might have to wait for kick off to confirm where we would be looking for Eisenhuth and Kamikamica to swap.

What do you guys reckon?

Looks like M'bye is getting suspended...it'll be a relief to just get 0 added instead of holding out hope for a double digit score from him

Not a bad gamble at all. I'm tempted to use my last trade on Lolo -> NAS.

Has there been any confirmation on when Kaufusi's due back?

Not a bad option. I might get cheese, he has done well last few weeks.

I swear we're on the same wave length with trades atm mate. I reckon save it... unless the trade will make you 50+ pts this week, elliots 2x 35/40 will be more worth while, esp if we aint fielding 17 come round 25 due to rests etc.

Kafusi back impact on NAS ?

I'll see who I can get but I'm looping him and Lolo so I think its worth holding out until the last week. Its a 50/50 call though really. At least this week I can look at Elliot first before Lolo.

FWIW I'm in the same boat with a JJackson Lolo 17th man loop - which 35-40 will I choose?!

I think I'm going to hold my last trade for R25 - if nothing else it will be novel for once to make a trade in the last round!

Gut feel is just there will be more upside for using the trade in round 25 than this week, pending anything happening between now and then.
