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

Think there's a bit of hopium around Smithies' role/minutes when they have young players who've been in their system for longer that can fill in well. In these interviews Fogarty and Whitehead both namecheck "Ata"(Mariota) and "Trey"(Mooney), not Smithies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAgEn94moKE

Also in that interview, Fogarty mentions both Weekes and Strange as possible halves partners, but Whitehead singles out Strange.

Try this speculation instead (without having any real clue who the hookers will be. Could be Levi. And it might be Hosking on the bench because he can cover centre):

Papalii 40
HookerA 50
Tapine 55
Young 80
Whitehead 70
Hors 60

HookerB 30
Mariota 40
Mooney 30
Hosking/Smithies 25

That would make Mariota the most interesting, but there's a limit to how many Raiders cows you can comfortably hold.

Go for the winger in the better team. You're a sucker for a downvote.

You’d know more but all the talk is Munro will just go back to NSW cup when Wighton returns with Tass to wing

If Campbell was out (and known before R1) I’d be between freeing up money for Teddy and Sivo

Its all their MIDs except for Jurbo and Sipley.

All their wingers except Saab (hearing that Garrick will be CTR this season).

Look to be the key positions that there is competition for places.

Nathan Brown could be an interesting pick over Origin if Jurbo is selected. Would likely go from a small minute role to a big minute lock for the 2nd and 3rd Origin rounds.

Wonder if Lawton can land starting EDG, with no sign of Schuster.

Manly looks like a side cobbled together with the rejects of other squads - Waddell, Woods, Wakeham, Paulo, Talau, Condon, Bullemor, Brown. I guess that is what happens when you blow your wad on very few players on huge contracts.

alphabetical order mtb - i think no relation to the position they will take on the field and the reserve grade side apart from brooks

Pretty handy for cup players though no? Only Bullemor and Paulo will make the side.

I really thought it was obvious i was joking, given the response to Brown at centre. And well.

It does sound like Brown could at least make the bench. They're shifting that winger off to the Dragons to get him in top 30. Other than that yeah, only Paulo and maybe Bullemor.

Who for? Would of thought it’d be Chan Kum Dog, Aloiai, Burbo and Bullemor. Waddell first cab off the rank.

Well, if Schuster isn't starting the season and Burbo is promoted then that frees up one spot straight away. There'll always be injuries somewhere in a pack anyway. Not sure Waddell/Bullemor will be ahead of him either given the amount of houses that have apparently been collapsed at Manly training.
