NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 1 - Gates are open, come on in

Hey all, I hope everyone is travelling well?

After a quick look there are no Fantasy rules changes? And the only actual NRL rule change is the short drop out not making the 10 change?

Not necessarily a rule change but there’s likely split team lists for R1 due to earlier Vegas games

vsdt is open

What a suprise NRL players may have difficulty entering the US

I'm tipping that at least one player ends up not allowed to leave the US

Seems like a bit of a non issue / slow news day story. NRL pretty notorious for being unorganised, no surprises there. vlandys cut all staff, remember ?

Reasonably confident Matt Lodge won't be playing round 1.

And Sam Burgess might need to leave the booster shots at home.

aaaaannnndddd Cheese is out of my draft.


But I'll offer 7/2 on Wighton staying a while.

NRL decides its a great idea to send 4 teams to Las Vegas for a few days. Whats the worst that could happen?

Pretty sure there wont be a NRLFF catch up either

Looks like Nofoaluma is about to have his contact officially terminated.

Would probably offer some good upside if he lands somewhere and applies himself

In Architecture and demolition news both Blake Taafe & Stephen Crichton are 'training the house down' according to Matt Burton (although it looks like Crichton might have trained an external wall or something down onto his quad)

Looks like it's going to be neck and neck for the Bulldogs fullback spot.....honest

Someone should make a movie on it.. Hangover 5: Cheesed Out

When has Cheese been in trouble with the actual law? It's Reece Walsh and Payne Haas who this could impact.

(I'm sure it'll be sorted out though. Soccer teams manage to pre-season tour the US with complete rosters without any drama)

Hello all, great to be back in the realm of Fantasy Footy. Haven't even thought about putting a draft team together yet.
Still, as a complete amateur, do any of you semi-serious pro Fantasy heads (ie Top 50 Heavyweights) have any inside oil suggestions on potential cows, cut-price keepers for 24?

Cheers,

The Bludger.

Current "template" picks appear to be:

HOK: Robson, BSmith, Lussick/Hands, Levi

MID: Haas, Curran, Tatola, Leniu, Knight, Hughes

EDG: Piakura, Blore, Lane, Wong/Crichton, Schuster

HLF: Cleary, Hynes, Fogarty, Flanagan

CTR: Arthars, Strange, Iro, ???

WFB: Paps, Campbell, Munro, Stewart, Weekes

Dang Arthars stats are grim. Iro won't make the team and Strange probably makes way for Kris (who knows when, round 4 maybe?). What a shit show.

I wouldn’t expect Strange to be put at CTR for 1 game (which is Kris’ remaining suspension). Would either get 5/8 or not I think.

Just have to pick someone who won’t get dropped even if they may not have value to not use trades on the dumb position. I think I remember Darius Boyd was in top 10 CTR scorers (for overall points) in 2020 simply because he played all the games even though he sucked for a bit.

Wighton looks great when he gets DPP but may not be R1 due to suspension.

Surely Tracey's the man. That club really seems to be intent on languishing at the bottom
