NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 2 - We've all been waiting for Weekes

If he's decided to swap to the Damien Cook 'stand up and catch' technique then we can talk.

Alfie wrote:Mahoney anyone? Probably bending the narrative here a tad but looking at last year, he averaged 50 when playing 80 if you exclude his last two scores of 24 and 15 (assume he was burnt out or fed up). Will the Dogs be slight improvers this year with Mahoney potentially the beneficiary? Dogs play the first two major bye rounds as well

This could lead to some trouble when the rest of the teams are named. If you tied up all your cap in Vegas players then the players you want don't get named it could mean a scramble to a bunch of players noone wants

A lot of the gun MIDs have ?

Haas (priced 64):
Pros: No byes until Origin and good bye schedule throughout means you could keep whole season, Flegler leaving might mean extra mins, massive ceiling
Cons: Not really any value, may run less away from middle for easy TBs and offloads

Yeo (priced 63)
Pros: Much more likely to play 80, solid bye schedule through Origin, very consistent
Cons: No massive ceiling so priced at value, early bye R6 which would mean 1.8m on bench

Hopgood (priced 61):
Pros: Not guaranteed Origin, easily top 2 for EDG, undervalued if Brad Arthur isn’t talking shit
Cons: Teams will probably be aware to his offloads (pre-Origin had 4 games with 4+ offloads vs 1 post R12), lots of games with at least 1 of Matterson/Paulo/RCG out, bye schedule not ideal if selected from Origin 2 (would miss 3 of 5 then)

JDB (priced 58)
Pros: Underpriced due to few bench games, very unlikely for Origin
Cons: New coach (saw video mentioning that Flanagan said JDB was playing too many mins when he was commentating last year).

Tino/AFB early bye for Tino, AFB career year for tries, too inconsistent anyway

Murray (priced 58)
Pros: Was high 60s in 2022 (2023 lower mainly due to lower offloads, higher penalties and errors)
Cons: Awful bye schedule through Origin, Demetriou has said Murray could move to EDG to accommodate Duncan coming on, possibly tough R7 bye with Tatola option as well

Knew that would happen luck of the draw my arse. I’m not surprised in the slightest nothing we can do though I guess they should win their game easily

Sure, he'll be suspended after trying to fight a Cher drag queen whilst pissing off the back of a weird ute-limousine after R1, but he could score a lot of points on the bunnies' left edge.

Looking forward to the season.
On the Suaalii vs Smith Vs Tupou Vs Dom debate, here’s an argument that Suaalii is the odd man out.
