NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 9 - I can't even restart my whole team anymore

Any chance Shane Flanagan can launch Hunt into the realm of NRL Fantasy elites? I keep looking at him.

I listen to Fantasy Amateurs and Talking League on Spotify. Amateurs is my favourite of the two - quiet a bit funnier and entertaining. I believe Mark from there actually made his first post on here earlier today.

The bench named this week could support big minute Lolo.

Finefuiaki - small minutes on the EDG
Neame - shares a role with McLean
McIntyre - apparently going to be ball playing lock
Granville - no one knows, but hard to see him playing big minutes at prop

TU: FlanaGUN
TD: Cleary

Yeah that's pretty much the theory. If the lad can throw a couple of offloads it's a win.

This just made me look at the stats, last season Lolo threw only 3 offloads all year. In 2022 he threw 21...

Yeah. I'm not saying he's a season keeper. But with that current set up he could be destined for a decent price rise. Then again, he could just say where he is. A lot to prove for him and the cows this season.

100%, I wonder if it was coaches instructions to put the offload away.

Just made a heap of wholesale changes to my team and managed to fit in Flano.
Really happy with the result and can’t wait to reap the rewards.

Cleary is locked out, season ruined

Probably because Rapana needs as many reps as possible.

Apart from Rapana saying he's been thrown into fallback a few times in his career, does anyone that matters say be js the fb and Kris is a Centre again?

Only then do I see upside. Kris savage hopa in the trial and ci
Cotric all have played there before

You're saying, 'if I have this absolute confirmation, then there's upside'. But most of these outcomes we only know with hindsight.

So in the absence of complete information, the upside is 'he might continue at FB where he has traditionally scored well', and the downside risk is 'he might get shifted to the wing again where he appropriately priced'. Up to you to balance those risks.

Not much thought or gameplan, just vibes.

Grant
Tupouniua Haas Yeo
Piakuru Wong
Cleary Hutcho
Trbojevic RTS
Raps Papy Kini

Smithies Salmon Chan Kris
Hughes Flano Levi Strange

Hoping for a big first few games from RTS.

Rapana was saying last season he wasn't fit enough to play fullback.

This season he is saying he is the fittest that he has ever been and is ready to play fullback.

You had me at houses down...

Training the hammies down

Houses or trousers?

I have no clue what Payten does. I don't think anyone does. A couple of years back there was speculation that Lolo and Payten didn't get on, I dismissed it as BS and blamed it on having broken his hand like three fucking times in the one year. Lolo himself? Just seems like a regular 50 minute middling starting prop. I hope for fucksake he proves me wrong.

Yep, has gone from being Haas to Jensen.

Yeah, pretty much where I stand on him too.

Look at the other players around his price, and tell me you expect more of them than of Lolo

Do we need to start a thread for him?

Granville averaged 32 min from the bench last year from 15 games. And fuck all of those minutes were for Robson. I'd prefer not to see it, but big minutes from Cotter or Lolo because Granville won't get any is not something I'm betting on.
