NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 4 - A spawning salmon appears

I’d go Tapine

People say he’s frustrating but he’s averaged 55 and 53 the last two years. With 2 and 1 tries. It’s possible he does an AFB and scores 5-6 this year and you’ve got a near 60 average. Almost taking myself into him.

Harris averaged 53 and it feels like his ceiling.

McInnes role a concern - needs Finucane to be unavailable?

For what it's worth, in draft they went Tapine, daylight, Harris, McInnes.

People say Tedesco starts slow too, but he came out firing in 2021, and in 2020 he scored 94 and 111 within the first 5 games (the first 2 games back after covid break, if you want to read anything into that)
Last year his scoring was down in general, he couldn't crack 50 without a try - poor by his standards)

He's had a few poor round 1 scores since moving to the Roosters, but if his scoring is as per usual by round 2, I don't think that counts a a "slow start"

Harris played injured most of last year.

Tapine starts the season slow (due to Ricky), then finishes strong.

Harris plays injured, or is out injured, pretty much all the time. I just see more downside than upside there

But MID is fun because there a lot of them where you can make a case for 58 average or 50 average

2020 and 2021 show Harris consistency.

2021 - 13 straight games 55+ - 12 of these 61+!
2020 - 13 straight games 49+ - 12 of these 57+!

If not getting injured can put up scoring as good as Haas and Yeo for $150k less, and no Origin.

Feels like more than once that I haven’t started with Tohu, he notches a few 65s, and then I make a silly sideways trade just for him to get injured. Not falling for it this year.

Wait until you see the Taumalolo stats from a few years ago.

Don't think anyone is doubting that he's gun when he's on the field, but the dude is held together by string and tape.

He has been in my team a few times when trying to work out what it should look like.

Carty and SJ say HI!!

He's probably declining. But also I think his amount of declining is overstated. Case in point, in draft last year he was pick #4. This year I got him at pick 35 which I thought was value.

In fantasy, it's a toughie. I think he has some value, probably a couple of points at least. Will he be top 3 WFB?

I'd have Ponga ahead, and Pappy if he's goal kicking (which isn't guaranteed). Mitchell about par depending on suspensions and injury, maybe slightly ahead too. And Walsh and Turbo could be anything. Ted's probably got value, but no slam dunk, he could keep declining.
