NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 17 - He haas a sore knee

After the Haas news I’ve changed tact….

Haas to May
Luki to Lussick

Leaves 34 plus 8 trades with 381k spare and

Grant
May Cotter Cheese
Piakura Chan
Cleary Hutcho
Burbo Strange
Ponga Tuaupiki Pap

Lussick Sitili Salmon Kini
Flanagan Hughes Wong Kris

Thoughts?


Wong and Kris teams play early so I can’t loop.

Would you play Kini or Flanagan as last bench spot?

Plan is to try get Moses upcoming and Galvin next week

Wow no hynes ?

Good safe trades mate.

Kini > Flanno imo. Both meh scorers, who has more 'fun factor' to them and could go 40+? Imo Kini vs the Dogs.

Who's your third WFB before trade?

You're screwed. Very similar to my team, that's how I know.

You can still loop them. I will take the specifics to the looping thread.

I reckon it’s a bit early to be listing out how many trades we have left Rabs JR.

No such thing as too much information.

Speaking of which, can any of the 2 raiders fans on this forum garner me with insights as to why the Horse is on his back.

Much love.

Captaincy is hard this week.

Cleary goes big against the Broncos normally, and with ARey and Haas it could get very messy.

But Hynes is playing the Tigers.

Going Hynes, nervously.

Surgess should never have been allowed to walk out.  

Coke builds culture. It's science.

Surgess was one of my favourite forwards of all time to watch.

Not a Raiders fan but the word is he is going to play NSW cup this week (even though he is not named there...)

Saw some talk on Raiders forum about Horse having previously said he struggled for motivation in preseason knowing he was suspended to start the year, so the thought is maybe he is not up to speed yet as he should be.

Not a Raiders fan but Garner plays for the Panthers

After initially getting excited about a shiny new gun I looked at the value of my team and did the same boring trades I was doing before except Wong gets a week on the pine and BPH makes his way out.

This is not fun

I cheered and cheered and cheered. And now I cheer and cheer and cheer again, and wish all 8.2% of those teams also have to deal with Haas this week.

Bloody hell lad, after I championed you for post of the year

To all those who have copped the double blow, I wish strong jawlines upon you

That a low blow

Okay here’s a conundrum for the brains trust. I only have two playing wfb, pap and rapina. Talou back next week and gagai likely a trade out. Trading Hass to May leaves me with enough money to turn gagai into any one under $684k. However I’m not seeing anyone who is a keeper at that price OR anyone who will make money. So would it be insane to chase cash by ignoring the wfb position for a week and picking up Lussick instead?

Probably a 30 point hit in exchange for 40k cash?

Feels insane to not play a full 17 this early but cash gen has been so hard to come by and there’s only a couple of weeks to collect Galvin, Lussick etc before the opportunity is gone?

Edit: also yikes is that what the default avatar looks like? Grim.

Taylan May and Cobbo will likely become keepers in CTR and you can plug in WFB for this week

Been looking through some teams -

Fletcher Baker I was initially under the impression that Baker as a starting PROP would play at least 40. Now I can see that this assumption is dodge, and he is just as likely to play 20-25 minutes and then sit out the rest of the game. People will now say I am misleading them into not picking him.

Sam McIntyere Minutes appear tied to T'lolololos and cover for if he needs to leave early with his degenerative cartilage


Kulikefu Finefeuiaki Appears to have won the starting spot over Gosiewski, who lost it to Leiluia last year, circe R14... There is the possibility that he is subbed by Gosiwski early in the game, I guess, but I would think this is pretty unlikely. At 55 - 60 minutes. You would guess he would average around 35... There's nothing to write home about - but it's likely a more reliable and slightly higher-scoring version of Salmon/Levi/Flanagan/Hutchison for a similar price. I am not yet convinced.

TLDR May Curran or Mann are the options to seek out this week... not sure how to get them in without wasting too many trades ... need a rethink

Ok, soz.

I have 36 trades, need to make about 6-8 this week though.
