NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 19 - Souffs best fullback Owen Craigie or Owen Three ?

Hoping Talau is back next week so I don't have to trade for a WFB

Players scores are changing, had my team opened in another tab and can see.

Murray -2
Tupouniua +2
Tedesco +1
Rapana +2
Manu -4
Mitchell -2
Duncan -2

Lussick loses 8 points down to 28!

What actually happened is that Haas got injured well before any game so everyone could trade like demons to guns galore. Then Walsh got injured in the first five minutes for 2 grand points. Shoosh up.

Actually popular PODs here like Kiraz, Rapana, Harris, api all had great games is the key reason many here did great this weekend. You stand corrected.

Only none of them are pods. And it's one week. Your team is shit.

When does the fun start??

This coming week is likely to be chaos for many teams with high ownership storm players, Chan, Papy and Grant and a few of us having other red dots like Wong still hanging around.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but has anyone noticed the irony in Tino's injury.

He's been warned numerous times over the years for leading with his elbows and arms into tacklers heads/necks causing injury/concussions, it even caused Api's broken jaw just last year (In which Tino somehow escaped punishment).

Yet time and time again he has refused to change his technique, and his injury on the weekend was caused by yet again leading with the elbow, as his shot into Max Kings neck caused Max to slip down onto Tino's leg in the tackle.

Like I feel bad for Tino and hate to see players injured, but the irony is unreal.

They are popular here, PODs in overall ownership. My exact point. Some other PODs like Donuts, not so great.

Where’s that put you Overall and what was rank at the start of the round? Must be a huge jump

I’ll be playing the greatest CTR pairing known to man yet again this week. At least they have set the bar nice and low, surely they can’t get any worse than weeks scoring

If you’re gunna dissappear everytime things don’t go your way, could you at least make an attempt to drop the figjam attitude when they do?

Early thoughts for trade next week are;

Kini > Campbell
Lolo > Finefuiaki

Keen on Lussick too, but probably wont be able to get him unless Kini gets another week.

Does anyone actually run a strong 18th man anyway

I was hoping Grant would outperform the other HOKs enough to make early bye worthwhile but been pretty underwhelming. Who would have thought Robson 4 TA in 3 weeks but barely outperforming price though also

Interesting looking at R6 Cleary bye I would say confidence in Grant and Murray C is pretty low

811 for me. Some good. Some bad. Steady on i guess. 2700ish overall

Yeah you beat me with that 892. How the hell are you in league 10?

This is my first proper year. Only started part way through last year so wasn't in a league and no real FOG ranking from last year.

Definitely a reason I've been tossing up the idea of Cleary > Hynes in round 6. Cleary will have 4 games off between round 6 and round 20, compared to Hynes who will only miss 2, unless he play origin.

Ouch.
I kind of agree RE Tino's running style "bumpers up".
He's been a thug for a couple of years now.
That said, no one wants to see a bloke cop an ACL.
