NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 17 - He haas a sore knee

Yeah, I'm so glad I took the sensible option of Cook & Haas & Hopgood rather than my outrageous idea of starting with Robson & Termaynator & Hosking with a bundle of cash to avoid some of those questionable cows.

It seems this is the year of upping your short game early while ignoring the long game (until it's suddenly not)

Was going to do the sensible, long term cash gen trades of Haas & Luki to Terrell & Finfe with 600k bank, but now see I can have the instant gratification of Haas & Cook to Carrigan & Hynes leaving $1k (and Luki/Wong red dots), and strongly considering saying yeah fuck this let's go.

You will get your 25-30 points from Hutcho every week and you will like them!

Was this meant to be a PM to AD ??

Havili gets me Hynes and covers my HOK for 1 week until Liddle likely back hmmm

Yeah, cash gen can be future-Rhino's problem - I'm tempted to double down on points upside too

You could go the trade-hybrid and get cash & points with a Terrell & Hynes

2367 teams have the Cook/Haas/Wong trifecta.
395 teams have Cook/Haas/Luki.
154 teams unlucky enough to have all four.
8 teams have all four... plus Seyfarth.

Where'd you see this update? Last night Kevvie said 4-6

Thanks!
Changing multiple aspects of your spine all at once always works right!?

I guess it means waiting till the 1hour team list to decide who out of Cook/Wong gets the cut for either Lussick/Api - really not interested in a 60minute Cook

Think I'll probably still bin Wong as the certain red dot I think (assuming that will not change before kick off).

Although Cook could drop $40k whereas at least Wong wouldn't be losing anything. Cook could be back to business as usual next week though and its just a blip along the way, but that could also not be the case, so in summary, NFI.

Anyway speaking of Cookie being dropped. Were any of you aware that he is a beach sprinter?

Wong is named in nsw cup (along with docker clay and jennings). E Butcher and Billy Smith are not.. so maybe those two survive the cut to 19 this evening.

How many teams have none?

Cook/Haas/Wong + Kris & Mikaele (don't ask) = I'm pretty sure I'm a special case (in the worst possible way)

Yeah, I was just working out that if Cook gets 60mins and scores at his PPM from last year, that's 43 points and nearly a $30k drop
Meanwhile if Lussick scores a 46 (his career average as starting Hooker at 71 mins - when he should get 80) then that's a few more points, but a $39k gain - i.e. basically a $70k swing IF they score along those lines

Just listened to Trent Robinson's captains run press conference and there was a bit of chat about May. There wasn't any chat about his minutes or anything, moreso about how he's earnt his spot and how hard he works etc. Thought I'd share anyways.

From about 5:40 - 7:50
