NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 5 - No one will miss him

Heads up for players going on Haas.

- Hit 60+ in every one of his first 7 games
- Final13 games of the season only went past 60 four times.

Just sayin'

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.

Why is Cook a wasted pick? worse case he's priced as current with upside for 60+

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

Well I thought it was worth asking given they are big Roosters fans.

I think Murray will get mid to high 60’s mins looking at our side.

I don't see him getting back to his past scoring and Grant has the higher ceiling.

Being Rooster fans isn't knowing how new season rotations will work out mate, especially with Robbo

At 880k though near peak price?

Murray at 787k likely to make a bit of money…….

Hey mate do you think Nat takes mins off Wong?

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

I reckon we might see something like this

Leniu 35
Cheese 65
Collins 55
Tupouniua 80
Wong 55
Radley 65

Sandon 15
May 40
Whyte 25
Butcher 45

I mean this is literally taking most of their average mins. Unfortunately I’m not an expert enough to get it down to 0.2 min intervals for you Rabs

Grant has never had a season with storm averaging more than Cook. Think they are even and bench for Storm spelling Grant make me second guess Grant

Thanks Beth. I've thought about Cheese as the lone HK, but feels risky with his injury history and light on cover elsewhere. I started with Grant last year, so not really as scarred as those that didn't. Cook was just as good and outscored Grant overall, but last year's starting price hurt for those that went for him. Feels like a good POD with his durability and snubbed for an origin and then played out of position. Also Grant's early bye and I should have 2 Storm already.

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

Spoiler:

I see too much upside in Burbo. A starting EDG as centre. I think Arthurs at 18 WFB/CTR is golden in a great team. You  aint going to get Strange and Weeks in the same team past RND1. Got cover and if  Arthurs kills it in Vegas you can play Kris as your starting centre and bank some early points and bank some coin. If Arthurs shits the bed, then play two starting centres Penisini/Burbo or the like.

What side did Nat Butcher play last year?

You should see me on Aston Villa forums accusing doom mongers of being glass half empty while we're 4th in the PL

Cheers mate. No Weekes in my team or plans though (Kane is Kane Bradley, might've confused him with Kaeo?). I've toyed with Arthars at 18 and downgrading Xerri to Kris if he kills it.. but like 23 average for Arthars on the WG. If he was CTR I'd be more tempted. I reckon Xerri is decent value too, so would hate to fuck that up for 1 round.

Long time between Rd 1 and Rd 2 for Burbo, so would like to wait and see. Always get another cheap cow popping up early rounds too. Hopefully a CTR/WFB.

This team is a disaster waiting to happen. Both really cheap starting CTRs are most likely not starting in R2. Spend a bit less at WFB to upgrade at least one of them.

Exactly what I said in my original post. I haven’t decided on CTR, and I may chicken out / play it safe and drop one of the wfb in favour of some penis action at centre

Finger Puppet Mafia wrote:What side did Nat Butcher play last year?

I think it was both lol

Right side early in season and Egan Butcher left
Late season Wong was right side and Nat Butcher left

I think that looks about right within 5 minutes or so. Butcher and Wong might get a bit more and May and Whyte might get a bit less. Also, there'll be injuries etc that throw it out. Sandon just there to give Cheese a spell but can also cover the halves/centres, so no real danger of either of the 2RFs getting moved for a single backline injury, which can be a killer

My current question is 80 minutes Hutch or 60 minute Wong. Veering to the latter really. #fun

Does XERRI make the back 5 for the Dogs. (I am not a Dogs fan so I am not sure)

Happy TLT all, going to catch up now. Early thoughts on TLT is Roosters players will be an absolute nightmare to own outside of Teddy. I was tempted by Cheese but Sandon named on the bench isn't ideal.

Too much risk in Aitken even if hes named to start R1?

I’ve the Cheese and tempted to downgrade to Lussick just to get some $.
