NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 12 - No need for a restart

Two scenarios:

1. Your internet in no mans land will be so bad you'll fuck it up anyway so it wont matter
2. Even if you manage to loop correctly you'll choose the wrong player to loop

Option 3: I'll try and implement a brilliant idea at 2am after a small scotch (bottle) and accidentally C-Chan

Katoa without SOS... average 33, priced 27. Second season, real talent (more of a talent than Sullivan).

If this was R1 I'd be picking him ahead of Flanno or Hutch, but probably not worth spending a trade especially with bye next week. One to keep eye on though.

Yes but there’s the risk of him moving into 17 (albeit low)

awesome thanks. But if he doesnt move into the 17 and i like Galvins score i can just leave it how it is?

Yes but he likely remains a dead spot in your team, would trade him out instead.

You and me both
Although I'll be laughing like a madman if there's a GameDay lineup shuffle

Would be a bit of a dick move by Benji to name a kid for his NRL starting debut, get his family down, then shift him to the bench. Maybe Sezer comes in for Sullivan though

Supposedly Sezer has a hamstring niggle and that's why he's not starting. So not as straightforward as Galvin winning the spot.

If you still like Sullivan next to Sezer though then fair enough, not the worst pick but I'd like to see the kicking split first when/if those two play together.

The hamstring niggle seems like a strange one for me, like it seems like the sort of thing where you play or you don't play... I can't imagine that playing less from the bench is a good solution?

Could it be that it's better for the young halves to prep like they are starting in case Sezer is ruled out... rather than a GameDay call up to start if Sezer was a late withdrawal due to the hamstring?
I guess we'll find out

@Mr Trump Yes

I think Galvin starts regardless.
But it could be that Sezer is given to match day to prove his fitness, in which Sullivan is a more natural 14th man interchange.
But what do I know? (Not a lot)

Bud covers half and hooker so I'd say that's a fair shout.

That side needs serious rebalancing, to get the cash in the 17. Would start by trading in a decent half so you aren't relying on Strange there.

Hah! These muppets have me 23 in FOG with a nice road ahead. Taking 30s from a cash cow is fine - just look at all the folks playing Hutch/Flanno/Kiraz/Levi week-in, week-out

Grant
Haas Sitili Duncan
Wong Piakure
Cleary Strange
Burbo Kris
Tturbo Paps Tuaupiki

BSmith Rapana Smithies Kini
Chan Salmon Berry SHughes

200k ITB to jump from Tuaupiki to Moses or similar in R5.

Feeling ok about it all!

Went in with only Grant and Levi at HOK (took out Cheese late)

Looking at using money ITB to do Tatola to Koroisau

I like that move. Still good for mid cover without Tatola?

Salmon and Hughes lol

Really hard to advise without seeing the whole team. I am a big fan of team balance if you can manage it. Wouldn't be bringing in Talau if you already had turbo for example.

Cheese
AFB, Hopgood, Smithies
Luki, Wong
Cleary, Hutch
Kiraz, Burbo
Pappy, Cotric, Ponga

Flanno, Piakura, Salmon, Tupioniua
Levi, Chan, Strange, Kini

Haha that's what I wondered. Meh probably good enough.

When there is a small sample size, including a length of the field try for a forward, giving 52 points in 31 minutes in one of the games, reserve grade stats are more likely to give a better idea of likely output in that position. In this case it is pretty clear not to be expecting 1 PPM from him.

Who said anyone expects a 1 ppm from him? Reserve grade stats mean absolutely fuck all.

mattnz wrote:

Of course I did. Why would he have a drop to 45 minutes in first grade, if he had previously played 60 minute average at lock in first grade? Just getting nonsensical for some reason, trying to argue a point that doesn't exist. Note that I used the same source multiple times in this thread for other players NSW Cup stats as well.

The point is, you made an idiot out of yourself and learnt something.

out of curiosity anyone
A) waiting n watching on tyrell may
B) holding toups to see if he comes good ?

This might sound stupid but just a possible fun option based on upcoming draws and to have some money itb

McInnes to Harris
Marzhew to Mulitalo or Lomax lol

Tups will be fine if named, but with that said he will always be rocks or diamonds.

He'll either get you a 30 or a 70, there really is not inbetween.

I was going to learn Bodyslam, but Tallis Duncan looks like too good an option.
