NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 16 - Tommy Talau has arrived... A year too late.

It's not an accident that the panthers sucked when he wasn't at 9. Soni Luke killed their plays, and I doubt they give him too much game time if Kenny is fit.

Plays in a good team, should get 65+ and under 500k. No origin either.

Pretty keen on this guy to bring in as a keeper, has a bye coming up but don't see a lot of downside otherwise.

It's a toss up between May for my centre to pair with Koula or Fogarty/Moses to replace Galvin as starting half

Talau or Kini to be named - Please god, I just need one.

Also Lucas to be back, not as important.

What "wants" does everyone else have?

CorruptSquid wrote:Hey everyone,

I'm seeing a lot of pro Terrell May chat -- understandably. And he seems a likely candidate for me to get in this week but I can't help but feel this will all go south at some point (perhaps next week).

Relying on Wong and Sitili to keep to low minutes and JWH and Whyte to keep playing 25/30 minutes a week with the looming threat of Crichton returning seems like a recipe for disaster.

Also, was JWH playing low minutes last week an intentional decision so the 'big dog' could get up for his 300th?

Anyone in the same boat or should I just jump in?

Yeah, Kini for me. Really hoping he gets another crack at it.

It’s incredible that you’ve reached senior years but still carry on like a teenager.

First half - looked their only dangerous player

Second half - looked like U16 boy thrown into men’s footy too soon.

Gets another go though imo

Yes certainly have the same concerns lingering but feels like at this point you just get him, if he keeps the mins it's a big risk not having him with his ppm. I expected the mins would drop back in rd2 but now we've seen it two weeks in a row it's a bit hard to ignore.

I think there's just really no room to grow?

Looking now at last years stats, he averaged 67 minutes per game, with an average score of 35

I'd say he really needs to be 80 minutes to be worthwhile

He got 65+ minutes last year. And his fantasy scores were average.

What has changed to make him better this year

The fact that the panthers weren't the panthers when he wasn't on the field. Play broken down at Hooker.

If he plays 80 could be 10 points of value there. I agree he loves a MT.

If no hooker is named on the bench is he more attractive? If Soni Luke isn't named this week think I might have a punt.
