NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 13 - He looks good, but what do the Reserve Grade stats say

Bodyslam a.k.a. T.May8 a.k.a. Trell May

For Benji's sake, I hope the Tigers are competitive this season.

@rabbits 21 throwbacks to the angry "OI. YOU. NO!" guy from Harry Enfield

I'm hoping you one day get a guest appearance on NRL360

He is still on the bench tho? And who knows with those fucking minutes.

@RandomSil
Robinson after the game said they wanted to take him off earlier but he was just doing too good. I doubt he's going to be dropped any time soon with a comment like that.

Still doesn't mean he gets bulk minutes necessarily. I mean I have two Rooster still and I don't want them

TMay will have games with bigger minutes than others. Sometimes he may get less of a run based on how the game is going.
Almost certainly he is going to put up some big scores this year. Less certainly he will at times put up some less exciting scores

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to work out how often he'll get big minutes, and how often he'll get normal minutes, and then decide if he is worth buying at that price.
There's no reserve grade stats, podcast or data analysis that will tell you what will happen. I suspect even if you could read Trent Robinson's mind you wouldn't get a definitive answer. when people say go with your gut, its decisions like this.

I agree but isn't the chat Murray will be playing on the edge? Duncan/Havili at Lock? In this scenario surely it isn't sustainable for Murray to remain on the edge for the season?

Totally agree, need a longer term solution

Still have no idea what to do. Can bring in both Mays for Hopgood and Cotric. Mays DPP would be really good to replace Cotric with with no current centre cover, so I won't need to play Bostock this week. Still gotta deal with Moses though.

TBH he actually swore less than the rest of the guys in the Pod do

I'll tell them they need me back on to boost listenership

Why are people considering trading out Hopgood?
Is he injured?
I know his score in Rd.1 was nothing to get excited about, but his scores / average over the 2023 season puts him in keeper territory.
Seems like a wasted / reactionary trade to me.

You chose Hopgood for a reason, trust that logic rather than 1 less than impressive score.
If his minutes continue to be hobbled by BA, then sure, make the trade, but after 1 game??

Cotric -> Talau! Join the Tommy train.

My gut says I have had a little too much lactose this morning and in the next hour I am going to pay for it.

I will avoid him on that note then.

Moses is playing and why are you trading Hopgood after one week. Surely you want him end of the year if he bounces back in score. They won't blow out teams like the hapless Dogs and have all posession

Welshy we can easily do it, book it in lad we are back.

You could get Rabs on as a special guest, but you’d have to put an R rating on it.

There is nothing worse than having no trade plans and waiting on games to start. Time has stood still

I will never touch Talau again, even if he was guaranteed first choice fullback for the season

I usually do one of two things here. See what trades I could still possibly make, or look a couple of weeks into the future to see what I can maybe do then. Whatever I’ve thought of is usually out of the mind within a few hours.
