NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 6 - The only time I make a thread this year

i was listening to talkingleaguepod earlier re forgarty to get his 10 pts of value it equates to 6-8 points with gk & he'd only have to up his km's to just 60 to get the remainder for the 10 points of value.

I'm not as sold as I once was, He goal kicked 2022 for an avg of 50, had games last year with goal kicking (Without Croker) for an avg of 44 and still kicked for about 400 metres per game - the highest avg of his career so far. Maybe I'm over thinking it

Think the thinking also comes from the fact a lot of people are predicting he’ll be doing a lot more long kicking from his own end.

Only averaged 1 goal/game for whole season. The worst teams average around 2.5-3 goals/game which is 3-4 points value there

Also likely to be involved closer to line

I can't see 10 points of value, unless he goes back to the way he played at the Titans in 2021. Even in games where the Fog had the GK duties last season I can't see a big swing in points

You don’t often get guns 10 points underpriced

I think 53-54 is pretty realistic average for Fogarty which is 7-8 points value

Averaged 44 from 8 games of goal kicking last year - had 2.6 goals per game in them 365 km per game too and also inflated by a game with 2 tries and a score of 81.

I don't know. I think he should be great value ... but will it come to fruition I'm not so sure

i'm the same for me it's all about security of starts because otherwise hutchison would be my starting half & he doesn't have job security. in fact there's stuff all halves that are viable...cleary no brainer, hynes can't have both him & cleary due to team balance also has a quad issue, Moses @792k too expensive due to his best fantasy year but he has a nice early draw so is appealing, Flanagan has good job security as the coach is his dad but halves that have a very dominant partner like hunt will score mid 30's at best, hutchison is another who is paired up with a dominant half but people projecting 40-45 points could be in for a bit of a shock the 2nd trial he did hardly any kicking but he has better base than flanagan so could push high 30's & finally fogarty...there could be arguments for trindall if hynes is out injured apparently it's the same issue as in late 2023 so will the sharks be cautious which will give trindal a decent amount of games, metcalf some people think he's a good pick but i don't see it again playing next to a very dominant half, plath has come up in the conversation the last couple of days which begs the question why is he 500k in fantasy but only 278k in sc & 248k in vsdt but even at 500k i'd pick him if stone was injured for a while in fact if stone is going to play lock he's only 468k

People looking at Fogarty if skipping Hynes as HLF bit of dumpster fire I guess

STACKED !!

Grant
Haas Hopgood Yeo
Wong Piakura
Cleary Hynes
Burbo Strange
Weeks Kini Pap

Luki Mikaele Luke L Fainu (loop)
Levi Hughes Iro J Gagai

If no Weeks take Gagai’s Points
If no Strange sub Iro if named

Will RTS be duel wfb/ctr round 1 if named centre on tlt?

This isnt a realistic line up. Need to spend more in WFB and CTR or risk having lots of holes by R2 or R3 and no cheapies to trade in for the guys you need to trade out.

i really liked reading to hynes but after that i didn't i'm sorry bro there's a few players that are suspect like strange/weekes only 1 will play, i like kini, mikaele & luke in your scoring 17 & you're looping possibly levi who may not play, iro won't play, j. gagai will probably only get a couple of games & rabbits21 stated don't get j. gagai.

I'd start with downgrading Yeo and upgrading some red dots.

Pick whichever of Strange/Weekes is named and punt the other. Kini's probably not gonna be around long, but maybe some people can make it work. Soni Luke will be crap when Kenny returns Rd 2. Fainu is behind Galvin afaik and I don't think you need a loop with this squad. Iro isn't doing anything anytime soon. Gagai's another with poor job security, but could maybe make it work.. wouldn't pick him and Kini though.

Yezzir, this is huge for me. RTS is in my side. Top quality player with position locked down, his game is fantasy-relevant, and playing in a Wahs team that is going to be strong again - especially at home. Dual position a massive bonus, especially as one of those is CTR, and the tipping point.
