NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 5 - No one will miss him

Obbeats wrote:Which of these scenarios is preferable?

A. Start with Wong and Silly, and have to drop one in a few rounds if they prove to not be getting enough minutes or dropped when JWH (or maybe Crichton) comes in.

B. Start with one of them and scramble to trade them to the other in when it turns out you chose the wrong one, and miss out on some price rises.

Why the downvotes? Would be good to understand my faux pas.

I am erring on the side of the former and taking both, but wanted others' opinions on those specific scenarios.

Thats is as cookie cutter as they come

I don't think cookie cutter is necessarily a bad thing given the quality of fantasy analysis on here, but not sure I agree anyway. I haven't seen too many teams with Haas and Hopgood at MID, and Teddy and Papy at WFB.  Looks pretty good - biggest concern for me is the relatively skinny bench.

Just redid my team after TLT, finally time to post it

Cheese
Haas (vc), Cotter, Tupouniua
Luki, Wong
Cleary (c), Moses
Mariner, Burbo
Turbo, Papy, Kris (playing Bostock here R1)

Lussick, Piakura, Hutchison, Hughes

Strange, Mikaele, Bostock, Willison

I've got my eye on Salmon and Flanagan as backup options in case some of these guys don't get named or are otherwise non-viable (e.g. Eels name both hookers in the 17)

Someone probably thought it was a thumbs up thumbs down poll. & is voting for option B

I think fuck it, go with A (at this stage, reserve the right to flip flop until Sunday)

Yeah, the more I think about it the better it looks. No bye to worry about until round 14 means we don't have to worry about having too many roosters as well.

I’m 16 pages behind and there’s only been 4 teams named. Animals.

People are voting option B by down voting

Not scared Oates comes in for Mariner? I was looking at it but 450k was a bit exxy for me with that fear.

I didn’t say he didn’t have upside I just said he’s boring

Tatola and Wong starting probably average around similar at low 40s but Tatola doesn’t offload or break tackles and has scored below 10 tries in his career including 0 tries in 2021 and 2023

The person I quoted was Loomer and he said literally “I can’t see the upside”

More importantly though, I have a new theory that Camo is Loomer and no one can convince me otherwise.

I’m much more glass half full than Loomer

If you're half full and he's half empty, that makes a full glass...

Even then why pay extra 100k than the other Broncos winger

Really just vibes - I think Mariner is a better player and that right wing spot is very juicy as we saw with Cobbo last year.

Mikaele promoted to top 30

Hey mate do you think Nat takes mins off Wong?

You’d think Sitili plays 80? Wong maybe 55-60mins?

I reckon I'll let Burbo and Arthars go through to the keeper and run without CTR cover unless someone shows up next week. Could grab Burbo if he looks decent Rd 2.

Rolling out something like this, so don't fuck up your Fantasy Fantasy teams. DK is ripe for the picking in L2.

No one on here is Trent Robinson mate. It's all a guessing game at this point...

Perhaps Camo, the Master of Disguise, would be capable of being Trent...

Spoiler:

I feel like Cook is a wasted gun pick, I would just pay up the extra $15k and get Grant, and have the best hooker in the comp. Alternatively you could try freeing up a little bit more and swap Cook for Haas, playing Cheese at hooker.

I legit have no idea.

Put it this way though, if Sitili and Wong maintain 60+ minute edge roles the entire season, I would be shocked. Shocked.
