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

I don't disagree with you. I was mainly flipping between Haas and Hopgood, but there's really not a lot of difference in cash there. I could go much cheaper, but then come the risks. Sometimes you've just got to stump up the cash for reliable points? I dunno.

Cheese obviously know the pros/cons for but main thing is his dual. Thinking about having him instead of Lussick, mainly because he locks out on Sunday. If Hands is on the bench then Lussick is deadweight and I'd already have my backup hooker for Grant

Smithies could go really well or be stable, I guess? Seems like a guy who scores 60 in base R1 and everyone scrambles to get him in though. Would you go Smithies over Cotter, for example?

I'm guessing not, as filling in for injured rather than owning it. But he is a hooker!

Of course BBrails may be fine, but still.... badly tempted by toothy man

i agree on smith because we don't know what ba will do
cotter is the safe pick he's higher in price so if smithies impresses it's just 1 trade

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

Not captaining Cleary is a decision to leave you behind the 8-ball from the get go. It may pay off for you but at 50% ownership and likely 50% captaincy it's not worth the risk

Is this a possibility? Does BBrailey have an injury?

If it's a 10pt swing either way will mean little and I think Haas good chance to outscore

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
