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

2 weeks ago NRL physio said he had some procedure normally reserved for senior citizens with osteo. Seemed optimistic that he would bounce back since would've been playing thru massive pain.

So this is either "may" don't a lot of heavy lifting, storm in a teacup
OR
Procedure didnt work and Campbell Grahams chest is F-d

Hope it's the former. Not even going to make a Lomax comparison joke about how strong and robust Zac's chest is.

EDIT: should've read other posts, it's the latter. Sad times for him.

That 35k profit over the first 8 weeks may be invaluable

Munro averaged 37 last season in his 2 games on the wing.

Hypothetically, given there was a suggested intention to name Seb Kris earlier, could he have been named to play given that the NRL has said to the Raiders that the All Stars game wouldn't count against his suspension? (thereby making it a game that he can play?)

Looking at that indigenous squad - they do have some very good outside backs already, but if Kris can play up the guts he’s worth selecting

They legit only have 3 first grade standard forwards. I had to google two of them. Plus didn’t know Keirran Moseley still played footy.

Nicho Hynes and Latrell Mitchell are of course both famously known for playing well without any go forward or momentum so I’m sure this will go well.

Munro averaged 37 1 try per game last season in his 2 games on the wing which is clearly sustainable. Had a high error rate, which he should be able to be cut down significantly. Averages 39 in Cup. Plenty of value, priced at 25.

Seriously dude, if you want to do well in fantasy, I would sell that plodder for Haas. Otherwise, just enjoy the ride.

Averaged a try a game in cup as well. It's actually quite common these days for wingers to average about a try a game.

10 players averaged 0.9 or more playing 10 or more games

Short term you can see some players go on runs of tries but longer term it always normalises. Going through a list of the top 20 or so try scorers of all time and none of them get close to a try a game. Even the prolific try scorers with less games on the board fall away (Radradra, Sivo, Everingham)

Banking on someone to be the greatest try scorer of all time to be good fantasy value while playing opposite probably the greatest try scorer of all time isn't realistic

Yeah Tass/Munro I'd say, Tass had the left spot locked down before Wighton came. Assume he moves to the right though with Wighton nabbing the left slot.

Rabbitohs season really on the rocks now.

Wait for Coates to get cheap, buy him for a run of scores, sell him once he starts with a 4 again.

I suspect AKP and Saab fit the same model, but less attractively because of playing for worse teams who put on fewer cricket scores.

So, Souffs could put on a few points against Manly, probably won't against Broncs/Roosters, then may against Doggies/Wahs.

If that tempts you into thinking Munro will Coates-it, or provides enough cheap WFB coverage to be tempted, then go nuts. I may!

But... probably won't.
