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

I can't see Butcher getting less than 50-55 off the bench either. Going to be minutes squeezed elsewhere in the pack.

Yeah I reckon it might end up with the young bloke who plays in the middle with <30 first grade games that might hang around 40 minutes. Wonder if there is anyone that fits that description

Might switch to Cleary vs Eels. No point owning high value player not to C. Just preferred Haas match up last round

I just preferred not having to wait a whole week for a captaincy score. Anything could have happened.

Well it isn't Whyte that you are describing

I should probably hold Moses. I just can't shake the feeling that he scores shit and aggravates his groin, and bleeds cash. The obvious choice would be Fogarty, but does it have to be a half? If I've got Cleary, Flannagan, Strange, and possibly Galvin for Cotric, do I need another half? I would argue no. Could get Duncan. Leaves a lot of $ on the pine though.

In fact it’s quite possible I may never

It doesn’t seem to bother some (one) around here

Doesn't need to be a HLF if you're comfortable starting one of the others. Especially if Flanno was going to be in your 17 regardless

I like Duncan but think he's a wait, for both role and for confirmation if Arrow is season-ending or not

I understand the urge, but given how bad Brown's kicking game is and the quality of Penrith's defence/kick pressure, I'm gambling that Parra have picked Moses in the expectation that he will kick. Re a second half, none of Flanagan, Strange or even Galvin seem very reliable, but as Shady says if you're playing Flanno in your 17 doesn't matter if he starts at half.

SI resembles that

I could have cover if I play Strange over Kris in my 17, and that seems a bit silly.

I have him starting

Last time Moses played Penrith he kicked for over 1000 metres. If completion rate is good there are plenty of points on offer

Flanno will be there regardless which is why I thought I'd think outside the box a little. Even if Moses kicks, the Eels don't lose a lot with Gutho goal kicking, so there's a really good chance he scores below average. As usual the question becomes, would Rd25 Mulvy want that trade back? It's also a bit of a restructure though, gives me options, currently have 1k cash so can't do anything (so maybe I shouldn't haha).

Coaches with Adam Elliot holding?

Personally, I would have liked to see some form of punishment as a deterrent to taking advantage of this sort of situation again, such as teams losing the illegal trade they made. But fixing the mistake probably exceeded my expectations of their response anyway.

Someone (maybe PYTM, who knows what he's talking about) said the issue is less likely to affect general play kicking than goal kicking. So Moses not goal kicking, but keeping the general play kicking, is definitely possible. You could argue though that the Eels may not get too many goal kicks this week against Penrith. They seem to do well against the Panthers, but it tends to be a tight game.

Random, crazy idea ..... when Wighton is available, could they see him as the solution at EDG, allowing Murray to move back to lock?

I could have been stuffed if they did something like that

Booze at least used a fake account for his cheat team, but I was trading like a madman to get screen prints to use as evidence for when the shit hit the fan the next day.
Everything in my team went back to how it was by the time it was all over, but if they just looked at trade activity I'd be a goner

Hey, I’m I right the VC Cap loop isn’t possible anymore ?

Not for a very long time

THEGAME wrote:Hey, I’m I right the VC Cap loop isn’t possible anymore ?

Correct

C and VC lockout as soon as the round kicks off.

You can loop every other position though

Thoughts

Metcalf to Fog
McInnes to Either Terrell May or Duncan ?

If May only 3K ITB

May
Duncan
