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

Cheers y'all. Such a shame with Lolo. Even if he was to hit high 30s it just seems value is elsewhere.

Might roll the dice and go:
Leniu > Seyfarth
Lolo > Liddle

Straight out of high school, no Cup, no anything.

How am I meant to make an informed decision without any Reserve grade stats?

Don't like either. You have to probably, I'd ask you to post your team, but...

If they're the options, Talau, decent run, points to be had on that edge, might actually have had improved, and the cash will come in handy for something.

How many more games do we think that Warriors FB gets before CNK is back? I’m not crazy about the options either but it really is lose Kini for Talau just to have a team. I’ll cautiously put my team up just so you know my situation(don’t worry everyone it won’t be a regular thing)

Grant
Haas Cotter Sitili
Piakura Smithies
Cleary Hutch
Strange Burbo
Papy Walsh Kini

Luki
Wong
Cheese
Levi
Chan
Salmon
Flanagan
Hughes

I am holding Lolo for one more week because:

a) I have no one I want to trade him to yet
b) If he does shit, I'll just mention nothing next week and sell him to Galvin very quietly
c) If he does medium I can monitor a hopefully one week blip
d) If he jags a good score or at least a decent one in good minutes I can come in here and brag like I'm the second coming of Booze for being the best at this game (ignore that I starting with Lolo tho)

Mate how many mins do you think for Lolo?

Just kidding, I think he's a sell. I'm also rather concerned to see Tommy Talau's name floating around as much as it is.

Talau is being thrown around due to Nick MF Cotric not being named. Now that's dire.

Good enough for me

He looks like he is going to be Strange + some running + some attacking stats + maybe some kicking. Should have a much bigger role.

The fantasy elite know high school promise always equals success. Always.

I can’t say I watched too much of him in the trials but I love a guy with big raps on him.
I’m bringing him in so I can fund my Liddle trade and don’t feel bad about it at all. I suspect he will hold a role all year, so should be a slow burn cashie at worst.

I think the last half we saw play straight out of high school was Cleary. Very rare for a play maker to get a shot at 18, so must be decent.

Even Katoa was a year older when he got his chance.

Oi! Cheeky fucker. That's it - I'm gonna pray to the god of bad derivatives that all your Y11's forget what a locus is.

I'd rather hold Cotric and use him to loop than trade to Talau, Talau has 35k to lose

mickspicks wrote:To hold Lolo, or to sell Lolo. That is the question. Why do I feel Lolo will be extremely limited until the end of year? I miss the old Lolo

Sell mate. I don't see him all of a sudden becoming a 50 point average scorer.

No doubt he'll a more mi Ute's this week but it's hard to see him miraculously turning back into a fantasy gun.

I thought Ur original post was a two headed jibe OR that if someone turned up to the lunch and wasn't actually from QLD they should be turned away. Just like Inglis should have been years ago.

I owed Talau through the whole of last year. Couldnt get rid of him. Was cheap to start with and managed to get cheaper. He misses tackles like I miss cake. Highlight was getting excited he was going to nab himself a bullshit try only to watch him drop the damned ball. Just dont do it to yourself.

All jokes aside, Galvin does have the wraps and talent. Still hasn't grown in to his body but I'm sure he'll have a dig.

But isn't it a bad idea to trade out a gun like Ponga off one average score? You got him in because he's an absolute game changer and can score insanely well. Trade guns if they don't have a role you like or someone else is impacted their scores but don't do it off round 1 and poor scores.

I thought Ur rep was all about your hands, handsome hands �

I've just added in what I'm going to call "usage stats" for the minute to yafss.com under "Player Stats".

It's basically an attempt to understand how often players get the ball and what they do with it when they get it.

These are Jacob Kiraz's aggregated positional usage stats:


This shows he has about 20 receipts per game, when he gets the ball he runs about 85% of the time as a winger or centre but passes much more when he's a centre. He also scores about 0.4 Fantasy Points extra per receipt as a Centre. There are also some stats per run and per pass.

I also have a game log for each player so you can look at these stats game by game and see offensive involvement. I often hear that a player "barely touched the ball" etc. so you can check that out here.

Still not entirely sure how to use this or what to do with it, but I've been thinking about it and just wanted to get something up. Let me know if you see anything wrong or something I've missed.

Guessing Latrell is off the chart in these stats.
