NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 5 - No one will miss him

Tyrone Munro (injured for a while but not as long as Campbell Graham) is probably in the team at some point

Gagai would probably have enough time to make money though if his scores are good enough (maybe Milne might get the spot?)

Not sure if Kennar may move there when Wighton is back. Certainly the more experienced player.

I was surprised that Burns didn't get a spot in a depleted Souths back line.

Arthars is stranger to me than Suli

At least Suli has some history of being a good scorer. What is the justification for Arthars being a good scorer this year?

Tupouniua:

- Priced at 31
- Avg 43 starting 2RF
- Jumps to 45 when playing 60+
- And he has MID/EDG dual

As close to a slam dunk as you'll get imo.

The fact that Burns played in the NSW Cup team for last weeks trial should give an indication of where he is in the pecking order

Doesn't seem to be in the plans

Rabbitohs had to apply to get a suspension over turned to ger Jacob Gagai to play R1... He was been around for yonks age 28 - who do you reckon out of him and Khennar is more likely to stay

@Rabbits21

I've got Teddy at FB but I was listening to NRL Physio, apparently he has the highest concussions for any active player, sitting at 9. 2 of those were last year.

I'm a bit out of the loop but can someone explain the interest in Arthars?

Priced at 25, long-term average of 27.3 as a starter playing 60+ mins. Drops to 24 as a starting winger.

Where's the value? Is it just a case of WFB being tricky, so picking a cheap-ish guy with dual in a good team that locks early?

Only as good as your last game, and GF he was one of the best. Hard pass though imo.

Originally read that as 9.2 concussions last year. Was wondering how you get .2 of a concussion

Haas, Tatola, Wong, Tupouinua, Piakura, Cleary(c) and Arthars.

The only real decision is to run with Burbo or not

Do you think the minutes will be there for Tatola, assuming Arrow does his normal trick of playing mostly MID after 20 minutes on the EDG?

Assuming Cook plays 80, they effectively have a 4 MID bench, with Murray getting huge minutes. Doesn't leave many minutes to go around.

Tupounuia is still only owned by 8% of teams - Wong 17% - casuals have taken the wong man

With Butcher on the bench Wong is a wong choice

Scored 29 in the Grand Final lol

A dozen semi-flacids and a half dozen dead-set choads looking back at me. Going to be a long season

As Camo pointed out, Wighton comes back in round 3 to take Kennar's centre position. It would then become Kennar vs Gagai vs Milne for Munro's wing position. Or Kennar stays at centre and Tass shifts out. Either way, sounds like too many uncertainties for me to pick any of them.

Costs <400k and I can select him at centre. I don't care if I get a 25 average from him for the next 10 rounds

Only need 40 minutes to make good money. Im all in 100%

Agree, but they have had 30 mins since team lists dropped to start changing.

I assume he will stick around his career starting average of 50 minutes at prop and this year won't get knocked out after 1 minute for 1 point

One day you should try Booze's plan of selecting players that are fun.

Players that score points are more fun than players that don't.

Players that don't even hit your modest target of 25 fantasy points a week are not fun
