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

I would imagine every man and his dog will be playing Salmon and Hughes in 17 this week. I got stuck with Hughes score last round with Chan out

I've played Salmon every week, and will do so again.

But, barring any more surprises, have 18 available this week before making any trades, so Hughes can safely sit in the poolhop

I will probably trade Cleary, with the view of getting Hynes in after the bye.
I feel Cleary will miss at least the next 3, so fine to not have him on the pine.

Can play Fogarty + Galvin in the halves for 2 weeks, so don't necessarily need to trade Cleary to a half, can just go for the best value out there in any position - just need a plan for bringing Hynes in - possibly for Smithies depending on what happens over next 2 weeks

Smithies bench with Big Red starting lock

There's also a difference between "starting lock" and "scoring enough fantasy points to want to keep in my team"

I am not sure Smithies is a season keeper, so if I can trade Cleary to Dylbags (or someone like Carrigan/Yeo) then Smithies to Hynes in 2 weeks that is probably a good result for my team

Yeah, that would suck. As frustrating as the carnage is, it is kind of fun. And making the right moves can make a huge impact on your season.

I have 600k itb, and I have Moses who is a 100% sell. I also have Cleary, so I could absolutely sell both and bring in two guns this week. Let's say I bring in Hynes, I then have 1329k left. It's not like I can bring in a 1300k guy averaging 93. I'll be leaving money on the pine whether it's via cash itb, or via Cleary sitting in reserves. So the argument that it's too much cash to be leaving on the pine doesn't really stack up, for my team at least. Same argument applies for guns other than Hynes, like Yeo. Also they both have their own bye in the next three weeks.

The second point, is that my team is particularly crap. I want to likely get rid of Moses, Sitili, Wong, Kini, Levi.  And not too far behind them are probably Burbo, Strange, Flano, Salmon and Chan. I think it's fair to say I'll be max trading for the next three weeks that Cleary is out. Now in three weeks time I would rather be looking at a team with six of those guys gone and Cleary in it, versus only five of those guys gone and no Cleary.

Obviously most of you are fortunate enough to not have Moses, and selling Cleary makes sense, but I don't think it does for me.

Brendan Piakura has limped out of Broncos training putting him in doubt for Friday's game against the Cowboys. Jaiyden Hunt jumped in for Piakura. Corey Oates also spent some time training in the backrow and could be in the 17.

That’s perfectly ok. I’ve got Tups to slot straight in there and Hughes/Levi fighting it out for the final spot.
