NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 12 - No need for a restart

Ummm pretty certain he was dealing with cramps, not that he wasn't fit. That's why he moved to the wing. Don't be worried lmao

I'm sorry but you had never fully explained whether you are the King of Assassins or an assassin who specialises in Kings.

I'm afraid until I get clarity on this issue, I can't take your advice.

Bulldogs need a half.
Move Crichton to fullback, Burton to center, Taaffe to the halves.

Maybe, but I don't think it will happen at the dogs unless major injuries there. He wanted a full time 1st grade job and so went to the dogs on that basis. He has probably trained at FB all pre season, but he just doesn't have the physical attributes for the job. Will most likely get dropped if they keep losing and hopefully picked up at another club. I wish him well. He's a good HB but hasn't played there for a while now that I know of. Souths may have ruined his career but I hope not.

Yeah. He should have used something original when he signed up. Something like 'DadTakesMeToFooty'

but it says we have two trades, and i think you have to use them?

Not sure if it's a perception thing on my part or not, but since you changed your avatar you appear to be more provocative.

The Trell effect.

Curran for anyone? If we knew he was to get 60mins I think he would have been pretty popular on here. Available for $10k less than May.

JAC injury potentially impacted his mins but probably not? On around 15-20mins and more or less play out the game seems very plausible.

Not that I seem to have anyone or any cash to trade to him but just perusing...

Dunno what Salmon moving to the centres meant for him or whether the plan was always for Curran to come on and play out the game. Have another look, it's not as if his BE is small.

It feels like a matter of time until he is in the starting side.

Salmon looked "OK" at lock for fantasy purposes, but the Dogs as a whole, did not. I think Curran is comfortably in the Dogs best 13 players.. but it probably plays out as is for a few more weeks before any mass changes.

My main dilemmas this week:

Moses, cleared of serious injury https://t.co/sP9OBH0lpM, but will he be well enough to kick? is he worth a hold? save a trade? Any inhouse physio have some advise (Rhinoceroo, PYTM?)

Tatola or Sitili to TM8 Bodyslam (Terrell May)?

I'm not a physio! In fact, my initial diagnosis for Moses was he'd taken one in the balls and should run it off after two minutes, PYTM is your man.

Don’t think I’ve ever had a Week 1 where everyone has given a reason to stay in the team for another week. TLT will no doubt throw up a dropping or an injury to help keep the urge to trade alive

At this point I'm trading him to Turbo, but if we get more information that suggests he's fully fit then I'll hold. That BE is big though.

Its tough.

There's a lot of disappointing scores, but most of those were due to injury, or there are otherwise reasons why you'd want a second look. And a few guys saved their scores with a try, or Monday morning updates (thanks, stats guys!)

That said, if someone like the Tay Tays are going to become keepers, you want them in this week rather than waiting

When would you trade Moses?

Assuming he is fit, you dont lose cash regardless of his BE this week if you end up keeping him for the year.

It occurred to me that I could trade:

Hopgood -> Terrell
Kini -> Fogarty

IF both terrell and fog can score close enough to 50's moving forward, then it feels like a good move. If hopgood comes out and starts scoring 60's it feels a bit silly. But that second trade is turning a ~25-30 pt player (Kini/Chan/Hughes/Levi/Strange are my 17-21) into someone reliable...

If Arthur leans into this "share the mins" with his forwards then Hopgood isn't the buy I thought he was.

Greig back this week, there's a chance Hands might be out of the 17.

This applies to everyone, not just Moses

But if you wanted to hold someone long term, ignore their BE for now. By the time you sell, as long as they hit the scoring you want, they'll have made back the cash they lost

if you only wanted them for short term cash, then its more of a concern and you may want to sell them

I didn't get Moses, but I considered him, and the plan was going to be hope the Eels start strong and he racks up some big scores, then trade him to Hynes after the Cronulla bye, when Hynes as hopefully lost some cash

If it wasn't for the groin injury, things would have got off to a pretty good start for that plan. Ideally there's better news during the week, but he relies on the boot for so many of his points (goal kicking and general play) that if he does have lingering issues its a bit concerning
The fact that he finished the game hopefully means it isn't too serious

Are you planning to update the front page of footystats so that it looks like it did last season?

the ownership and trade stuff? did it about an hour ago haha

Me: Roosters forward pack is too unpredictable
Also me: if I trade this week it will be to get a 4th Roosters forward

I do like May there’s a lot to suggest he averages 50+ in 45-50 mins. And minutes watch every week is fun right?! People enjoyed every moment of owning Taupau, Tapine, etc
