Rabbits21 Team Tracker 2024

See above previous end of page  for my rant on where things are at….. any feedback appreciated!

Thinking

Wong to Dylbags
Shitili to Talagi

A WFB can wait another week I think. Can look at JC next week.

Angus, Nikora also worth looking at soon.

Lussick pull your finger out of your fucking arse please I beg!

Those 2 trades would leave me

Grant
May Cotter Cheese
KPP Salmon
Dylbags Hutcho
Strange Burbo
Ponga Pap Kris

Lussick Flanno Talagi Hughes
Chan Cleary Piakura Galvin

What? Still no Souths players?

via GIPHY

I think you're right with getting rid of Wong and Shitili. Chan can just sit there. Gets the deadweight out in Wong and Tupouniua before he loses value.

Fwiw I was in the high 30k ranks for much of the first few rounds, but there's still plenty of time to make up heaps of ground. Good decisions this those you've made this week will help, and then you just have to pray to the fantasy gods like the rest of us and hope for no more injuries etc. Once you get ask the injured players back you'll be smashing it

So for last week I scored a 733 rank in from 44k to about 39k. Finally a green arrow after a tough start to the season. Captaining Grant went well, Cotter, Ponga, S. Hughes. What didn’t go so well was Terrell May, Cheese, Hutcho, Pap, Flanagan and Talagi.


Current side with 155k spare and 30 trades is….

Grant
May Cotter Cheese
KPP Salmon
Dylbags Hutcho
Strange Burbo
Pap Ponga Kris

Lussick Hughes Flanagan Talagi
Cleary Piakura Galvin Chan


So I need to flick Chan or Talagi with 5 red dots……

Who should go first out of those 2 I’m not sure.

Other guy on the chopping block is Hutcho I think wanna get rid of him as I feel Sexton could start soon and Dogs have a bye soon and I have Salmon and Hughes.


I’m tossing up whether I go Angus and Iro this week and get Stewart next week and forget Campbell. Thing is I then have Kris, Strange and Stewart with a bye in a month.

Or whether I get Campbell over Angus and get Angus next week.

Other option is forget Iro altogether and go Talagi to Angus and Hutcho to Campbell get two good giys then look at Stewart next week and maybe Burbo to Chester.

Hey Mate, its definitely been tough this year. Toughest start to a year I've ever had in fantasy. On the bright side you could potentially have all 5 of your red dots playing by next week, so things are definitely on an upwards trajectory.

Id be getting rid of Chan before Talagi. But Chan could be a late in tomorrow night so pay attention to late mail. Reason for Chan out over Talagi is the fact that Parra will likely switch up their team again if they lose this week, and Talagi is a great footy player. I think it was a mistake putting in the halves, I would of kept him in the centres tbh.

The order I'd Prioritise your sells is as follows;
- Chan (If not named)
- Hutcho (This week or next week)
- Talagi (If not named next week)
- Burbo

I'd personally lock in Hutcho > Angus/Campbell and then wait till storm late mail to trade out Chan.

As for Angus vs Campbell I think they're pretty similar in terms of money to make and points, so it really just comes down to preference. Remember you get 3 tardes next week, so you could use someone like Cheese to grab the one you dont get this week.

If Chan is out go;

Chan > Iro

Then next week, Talagi or Burbo > Stewart. and Maybe Cheese > the other of Angus/Campbell.

I wouldnt be too worried about Dogs and Raiders byes, nearly every teams going to have atleast 2, Ive seen some players that still have 6 raders players. so If you only have 3,I'd take that as a win.

Good luck mate.

Thanks mate

Cleary fucked out next week too looks like I’m getting in Hynes.

Secondly do I get Campbell or Iro as my second bring in?

Can get Angus next week.

Looks like Hutcho might survive another week.

I'd personally go Iro for the price difference, but I already have Campbell so that might cloud that choice for me. I just think having as much money in the bank as possible for maneuverability next week is important

Hey guys rank up from 39k to 23k last week got a 925 looking forward to another good week.

Trades for round 6 were…

Cleary to Hynes
Chan to Iro…

This is what I had…

Grant
May Cotter Cheese
KPP Salmon
Hynes Dylbags
Strange Iro
Ponga Pap Kris

Lussick Hughes Flanagan Burbo
Hutchinson Piakura Galvin Talagi

Looking at for round 7…

Hutcho to Angus
Burbo to Chester


Then wondering whether it’s worth getting Waddell in? Leaning to either Flanagan or Talagi out I’m thinking Talagi has to go!

If I do those 3 trades would spread the cash a bit and give me a stronger 14-21..

Would leave 25 trades left and 41k spare….

Grant
May Cotter Cheese
KPP Angus
Hynes Dylbags
Kris Iro
Ponga Pap Chester

Lussick Galvin Waddell Salmon
Piakura Hughes Flanagan Strange


Thinking don’t play Strange this week against Brisbane I think it’s a lower week. I can cash down Flanagan upcoming maybe to Jye Gray next week just hard to gauge whether Jye holds the spot and Trell moves to centre do Souths have the guts to do it. I really like Jye he played well the other night.

Other thoughts upcoming are maybe keep an eye on Garrick was maybe gonna do Kris to Garrick. But then I re thought I’m low on WFB for round 13 and maybe I keep Kris til round 14. I think Hynes and Ponga will both make origin. Maybe it’s a good idea to keep Kris.

Other thoughts are Manu could be a buy come round 13 but we have lots of Roosters already. Brailey and JMK are options coming up to round 13 too.

I know I need to save trades upcoming one week and I will.

Thinking C Hynes and VC Ponga this week.

On Chevy I have 2 Raiders already don’t think I’ll get him.

Thoughts on all this? I need another big week again. Really just weighing up whether to get Waddell or not

I think the biggest priority is getting some decent WFB cover. Strange should be in your starting team over Kris? Kris is DPP but with byes and injuries you need at least one more person covering those back 5 positions

HOK: Grant, Lussick, Cheese

MID: May, Cotter, Cheese, Waddell, Salmon, Hughes

EDG: KPP, Angus, Waddell, Salmon, Piakura

HLF: Hynes, Brown, Galvin, Flanagan, Strange

CTR: Strange, Iro, Kris, Chester

WFB: Ponga, Papy, Chester, Kris

After doing this breakdown I agree with the dolphin.WFB/CTR could use some depth. Love the two locked trades to Angus and Chester. Not sure Waddell does a lot for your team apart from MID coverage for the dogs bye. I don’t think he’s worth the risk as a short term cashie personally. Think he’s much closer to a Fine (30-35) than he is to Angus, Curan, KPP. Almost doing the same role as Piakura but with dual.

Not sure what the answer is (maybe Best trusting in the knights upcoming softer draw, Garrick or other fallen WFB in 2 weeks, the Fox to hopefully string multiple big games together……)

Good luck with whatever you choose even if all you can trust this week is Waddell. Maybe cross out who you want to sell in coming weeks and where that will leave your team. Definitely think WFB3 is the biggest chance to upgrade your squad.

Well life has been busy it’s been a while but whilst I’m sick in bed with RSV virus what a perfect time to update my team tracker. I had a better last 3 weeks of moving up 25k ranks to 14k but went backwards 3k ranks back to 17k after last round. It’s been a tough slog and I have never been so low at this time of year as I am this year. I’m down to 16 trades which is a worry as well.

Trade history so far…

Round 3: Luki to Terrell May, Haas to J. Lussick
Round 4: Tuaupiki to Galvin and Kini to KPP
Round 5: Wong to Dylbags and Shitili to B. Talagi
Round 6: Cleary to Hynes and Chan to Iro
Round 7: Talagi to Waddell, Burbo to Angus and Hutchinson to Chester
Round 8: Lussick to Bateman, Ponga to Drinky and Flanagan to J. Gray
Round 9: Terrell May to Brailey, Cheese to Plath and Chester to Armstrong
Round 10: J. Gray to S. Fainu, Pap to Garrick, Waddell to Aitken

So I have used 20 trades so far and 12 the last 4 weeks lol. Lussick wasn’t a good trade in. Chester I got unlucky on same with Blaize, J. Gray I also got unlucky on, Bateman also unlucky, Terrell May in hindsight probs could’ve stayed, starting with Wong, Shitili and Luki were disasters, Cleary, Ponga, Bateman, Cheese also traded out to injury and Burbo, well Bateman I’m trading this week.

Round 5 score 733 and overall rank 39425
Round 6 score 925 and overall rank 23300
Round 7 score 780 and overall rank 18904
Round 8 score 936 and overall rank 14467
Round 9 score 877 and overall rank 14298
Round 10 score 689 and overall rank 17323


So we had a bad round last round not good.

Current side with 16 trades spare and 2k itb is….

Grant
S. Fainu Cotter Hughes
Angus Bateman
Dylbags Hynes
Aitken Iro
Drinky Garrick Armstrong

Galvin J. Brailey KPP Plath
Strange Kris Piakura Salmon



First trade is Piakura to Weekes leaves 24k spare.

I’m 2k short of Bateman to Ipap (yes I know Ipap is suspended this week). Thinking maybe Bateman to Nikora. Issue with that is again not a round 16 number.

My round 16 numbers do not look good around 7-8 I think I’m looking ok for 13 and 19. Other issue is I have 6 out in round 14 so far Weekes, Kris, Strange, Angus, Plath, Aitken


So Piakura to Weekes is the no brainer I should probs only make 1 more trade being Bateman most logical I can think of is Nikora.

If Salmon is benched come Thursday I’ll have ti sell him to Weekes and hold Piakura and the thought of that makes me wanna vomit.


Thanks for reading and help and suggestions please would be greatly appreciated

Only 8 of 21 players the same Rabs - you are too POD for my liking

Life has been busy this is where my side is at…

Rank 7779 so up from 8005 last week. 5 trades and 142k spare I want to hold this week!

Round 16
JMK
Twal/Tapine Moale Hughes
Fainu Fifita
Galvin Plath
Aitken Wighton
Weekes Teddy

Sorensen Garrick Dylbags Iro Drinky Hynes Grant Hands all out

Round 19
JMK/Hands
Plath Twal Moale/S. Fainu
Aitken Fifita
Dylbags Hynes/Galvin
Iro Wighton
Garrick

Grant Teddy Drinky Tapine Weekes Soro Hughes all out


That’s where I’m at with 5 trades left and team re 16 and 19.

Maybe Hughes to Sharpe I should look at in round 17 not sure it’s worth it but surely Sharpe has another 110-120k in him at worst?

any other suggestions for me? Team value at 13.157mil.

Full strength side is…

Grant
Tapine Plath Twal
Soro Fifita
Hynes D. Brown
Aitken Iro
Teddy Garrick Drinky

JMK Galvin S. Fainu Weekes
Hands Wighton Moale Hughes


My team isn’t too bad is it? Just a bit weak at mid which needs addressing on run home. And I need another WFB for Round 19. Do I trade Moale or Hughes out to Sharpe in round 17?

Would love to get a Yeo/Haas and Murray in if possible along with Cleary.

Gonna be hard then Weekes has to go too and I might need a back up WFB.

Then Iro might have to go Tago for funds for upgrades to mids.


All feedback welcome please and thank you lads!

@Rabbits21 Moving in the right direction mate and you're set up well for RD16 and RD19 and still have trades in hand.

I like the Hughes > Sharpe move next week for sure. Wouldn't that pretty much give you the bank to do Weekes > Cleary in 1 trade when the time is right?

Hey mate I have 103k spare I think I said 142k but it’s not 103k it is.

Hughes to Sharpe probs frees up 60k so still likely short.

Other option is trade Moale out over Hughes?

Do you think Sharpe is worth it or it’s too short term given trades are running low?

I quite like JC for your team, gives you the WFB you require in RD16 and RD19 and you could cash in on Moale next week to still run 17 as you don't really need him in RD19.

Who out though for JC? My worry with JC is how injury prone he is he’s burnt me before he’s made of glass. Food for thought though hhmmm. I might hold.

What do you make of the whole Sharpe thing and Ponga back in 3-5 weeks etc?

It's hard to call mate, I luckily got on him last week. I'm hoping KP is not back until after the Knights RD21 bye. Someone like Will Kennedy at least has the job security and he's only a bit more. Interested to see how South's use Jye Grey, any chance he plays 5/8 with Wighton back to centre?

I think Jye will go back to NSW Cup.
