NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 12 - No need for a restart

3rd most traded in so far is..... Soni Luke.

Just wait to see him not named in the 17 this week.

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

Moses was a short term cash play for me, I never intended to hold past round 5-6, otherwise I would be holding him now. I see a lot of opportunity for Turbo (and Teddy as well) to go big, hence why I'm looking at him as a purchase

Also me: if I trade this week it will be to get a 4th Roosters forward

Exactly how I’ve thought and done. Definitely my only trade this week…….until this evening.

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)?

Didn't get to watch the game as I was at SG and Flegg games. Was it a bad one? Did he play the game out?

Groin injuries tend to recover quicker than other muscle groups and are easier to play through. More likely to effect his goal kicking than his in play kicking (rounded vs straighter kicking technique) but shouldn't be a long term issue. Fine in real world but annoying for fantasy as no GKing or a reduction in KM hurts him big time and you bleed cash.

If you liked the pick it should be 1 week max of reduced scores before he goes back to normal and if he's a season keeper than his price dropping and then going back up won't matter.

Some itchy trade fingers around!

My team did crap too but doesn't seem like too many clear outs or ins yet

A few deep breaths and wait for TLT

Can easily see a bench that has Starling and Hosking on it.

Can easily see Sticky f-ing up everyone's Fantasy teams by running Smithies for 20mins (off the bench), and then cutting Tapine's mins down to 30, and running Hosking for 70, and ... you get the idea.

An 800K cash play?

Pffft amateurs.

Keano Kini was cheaper, but he is unlikely to make enough cash to be a direct swap to Nicho Hynes

I had similar plans for Moses….start with him, laugh as the eels put a cricket score on the bulldogs, and smile as his 100+ points in round 1 make for an easy transition to Hynes after his bye.

As someone who has had groin injuries in sport, they are relatively easy to play on, until you really stretch out running or kicking hard. For this reason, I’ll have to cut my losses here I think.

I watch every minute of every game every week and have done for a long time.

Hynes, SJ, DCE(historically), Cleary all do "pretty much all of the kicking" for their team and don't touch 90%

To reiterate, I think Fogarty is a good pick IF you already own him. He won't be a top 5 scoring half (Cleary, Hynes, DCE, SJ, Moses) and he isn't going to make a heap of cash from here on. You are buying a guy priced at 50 who might get to 55 average but probably lands somewhere 50-55

Agree with everything you just wrote.
My only point is that in the current Raiders set-up (Strange at 6), Ricky seems to have developed attacking systems / plays that rely entirely on Fog, which to be honest is pretty unique for NRL teams in the modern game. Even the ultra dominant halves (Cleary etc.) that you mentioned have support playmakers somewhere in the team. The Raiders are running Levi at starting 9, bringing on Starling and are relying on a rookie at 6 (or may replace him with Weekes - who couldn't lock-down a spot at Manly), and Rapana (who at 34 is pushing it to play 80 at FB). Everything is pointing to Fog doing 90% of the kicking, play-making every game - at least until Strange builds confidence, and/or someone in the capital puts their hand up and makes the No.1 their own.
It's a situation that I'm certain Sticky wasn't planning for when Wighton decided to accept less $ to play in the centres at Souths.
I've never said I think he'll average 800kms every game, just that he is absolutely the dominant half. Note: I didn't pick him up and am not trading him in this week. But, for those out there who started with him, well done. Good pick up.

Ah okay, yeah true. Moses usually does tear up the Dogs, unfortunate.

The galaxy brain play is trade Cleary to Hynes in R6

Cleary in on bye, meanwhile it's the week after Hynes bye, so he'll be fresh and score 126.

R7 and getting Cleary back for his 131 score that week is a future problem. Not worth contemplating yet.

We have two rabbits as pets (no I don't live in Qld) - when they "argue" one humps the other's face.
Now that is confusing to watch.

Jai Arrow suffered a rotator cuff injury in #NRLVegas - will review with surgeon for treatment options (via @telegraph_sport).

If he can avoid surgery - usually 4-6 weeks rehab.

If cuff tear significant enough & surgery required - 4+ months recovery (potentially season over). pic.twitter.com/kYdvr4MWRg

Is that Jacob Host's music? or Tallis Duncan?

I'm sure that a one dimensional attack is something that Ricky will want to avoid so that he doesn't become a target for defenders. We'd expect to see a progression of Strange becoming more active in attack. The simple game plan of Fog kicking deep worked against the Knights but bringing that to every game won't work long term. That said we could see Strange taking advantage of the pressure on Fog and getting line breaks which will benefit both of them from a Fantasy perspective.

Is Tallis Duncan likely to get a run soon? I had him in my early lineup but seems like JD is holding him back for whatever reason

Chee Kam is back on the meniu

Holding him back to drop his price, so they can re-sign him cheaper... I know a guy (on the forum) that knows a guy that overheard a guy talking to some other guy about a guy...
