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

Initially thinking Mcinnes and Wong to Lussick and May.

Will leave me with 245k.

Not sure how I feel trading Mcinnes out.

Any mcinnes owners out there still?

He started last week, theres a chance that happens again. plays early enough to wait till 1h before kick off to wait and see. Not to mention hes played similar minutes starting and off the bench in week 1 and 2.

I’m thinking of cutting my losses. Liddle in for 33 points and 35k price rise. Drop him this week not playing for Lussick.

Wong and Liddle to Terrell and Lussick. 12 and 13 BEs and no bench hooker are too hard to pass.

Have Galvin and can give Fine another week.

Only reason I’d be trading Liddle is if you have no Hooker cover and no other red dots.
Liddle will be back. It’s annoying but don’t be reactionary.

I was really enjoying that team list until Eels team sheet.

I needed to punt Wong to get May so it was a bit of a relief to see him dropped anyway.

Was really hoping Kini would get another chance and to be honest, against Dogs, I'm pretty sure I'll be playing Kini over Sitili. To be honest, I'd probably even play him over Salmon or Hutch too. Either way, pretty sure he'll be in my 17 this week, so hoping for some redemption.

Seyfarth to Finefuiaki an easy one to lock in too.

Only issue is I very much want Lussick now. He's a bit more urgent than Finefuiaki, but there's no way I can get both May and Lussick. Unless Haas is a late out...

Doesn't do much for getting numpties out of my squad or cash gen but looks nice if I don't make eye contact with my bench

I am 30k short of doing such a trade, but probably a good thing.

Although hynes vs tigers is surely juicy even to the most 'match ups are meaningless' type

Good news my fellow Talau owner!

Named at #19 lol, must be close to playing...

According to the Manly injury update, scans cleared him of any serious injury.

Yeah hynes will probably have a crap score this week.

Just had a quick look at Liddle

If he averages 50 the next three weeks, he only goes up $38K

Doesn't seem like a buy (Even if he was playing this week) imo, but can see why people would, not for me though but ehhh

I was completely wrong on this, apparently suffered no major damage (was it even a dislocation?). I'm tempted to give those woke radiologists a piece of my mind!!

Didn't Tuilagi dislocate his shoulder?

Could see Hands coming in to replace him. But probably doesn't change Lussick's role.

Thanks folks, was actually reading that a few mins ago..

Sounds like he may be back next week, a bit strange to name him in the 21 though.

My plan is to bring in Lussick next week. I'm in a similar boat to you as I dont have the cash to bring them both in. Lussick is less urgent as his price rise wont be as significant this week and he will still be somewhat affordable next week for a Sitili.

Surely it's lunacy to trade out Hosking this week and discard the amount of coin he will inevitably make? Next week, maybe, but surely worth one more week?

It might be wiremu.. eels fans seem to think hes def in their best 17 once up to fittest (had a calf issue or somrthing?)

Moale into the starting lineup could be an option instead of Finefeuiaki. $315k, averages 32 when getting over 30 minutes. FF's stats not exactly inspiring.

Wong isn't coming back is he? Did he deserve to be dropped. I forgot at beginning of season to avoid marginal Roosters forwards as Trent is a ballache

He did dislocate his shoulder but maybe he's from the same school of dislocation as Tommy Talau?

p.s .I think you might be right about hands and right about Lussick

I wish Fantasy would turn those yellow dots green

Just easier to stuff around with your team with clear red/green dots
And not having injury symbols next to guys who were just named to play( Rapana)

I get the vibe that Robbo didn't like him defensively, he didn't get a lot of minutes, and in the minutes he had, Robbo ended up swapping him to defend on the left next to Tupouniua with Collins playing at right back row in defence

That's a beautiful TLT. Soothing almost.
