NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 22 - Why would you captain a WFB?

I'm spent. No complaints.


Just Galvin for me tomorrow, my reign has ended. Got Cleary and Hynes though, and only really 1st world issues such as Smithies and Hosking, and poor Metcalf. Feel for the lad big time.

Only Galvin left for me too, so we'll tumble together

Koro, Lussick, Talagi, Hopgood, early Brown and Gutho adopters.. bit of Penis too. Lotta bullets to dodge.

Can someone unban Rabbit Sr so I can moan at him about Smithies?

Ahh that's right christ.... at 825 atm, I could have forced it for 17 but I think playing 16 and keeping Cleary is going to pay-off over this one lacklustre round. Want a 3 trade week now though.

Yeah I'm scoring well this week, but at the cost of trading Cleary and Piakura, and not to Hynes. Remains to be seen if that pays off. Definitely jealous of that Cleary/Hynes combo, but hopefully I can take advantage the next couple.. I'm pretty short-sighted

Really, I thought he was still a free man on here .. ?

Smithies & Tuapiki out for a couple of decent mids. 400 k in the bank. Carrying Hynes/Cleary.

Cook and Ponga waited until after I traded them out to put their big scores up but you have to roll the dice sometimes
Grabbed Curran and Smithies last week to try to fill the mid/edg void but she is pretty laclustre this year.

Might have to spend up there and run a cheap set of wfb/bench if this remains the trend.
Thats way less fun

Anyways early days everyone, just enjoy the family,chocolate,hot cross buns and the last game tomorrow.
You team will still be there tuesday to worry about it

Ehh I have Harris, Carrigun, Hopgod, May, KPP and still wondering where my cover comes from. Smithies probably has to stay until an obvious option pops up.

Me not getting Fog was a big mistake.

I'm usually short sighted on purpose in fantasy, still am in some choices, but switching it up this year.

I am still surprised at the chatter that centres continue to generate. Unless u pay top dollar for two centre guns it's always going to mean u pay peanuts and hope for a 20 to 40 score, at random. The disappointment in a sub 400k centre score every week is nuts. I'd just try and get two or three u can rotate that will suit up and spent Ur energies elsewhere. It's why I've been so content with Suli the past 2 or 3 years. He isn't super expensive, can bang out a score sometimes, looks dangerous so passes the fun watch factor and looks set in his position and playing his best football ever.

Kris up 5 to 18 I’ll take that as a win!

Looks like I'll get 24 points in updates from today's games.

That's the way its supposed to be. None of that downdate crap we've been getting recently

All my players are ticking up point by point. They must be rewatching the game as we speak.

Fogs 64
Rapana 34
Kris 18
McInnes 70


Might have been others but I wasn't paying attention to anyone I don't own.

698/15c

Think 800 is too much to ask from Galvin and Lussick but done well to avoid most of the carnage. Can’t stop trading at the moment though which was my downfall last year

Edit: apparently 18 points in updates makes the 800 a little more get able

2nd in FOG 

Hopefully they find Rapana and Foggy's TO tackle soon then

Updates might be finalised though since rankings and league scores have updated

*and they found it, just hadn't updated on the stat sheet

Campbell likely a buy at some point.
If Iro holds his spot, it could be for the season and you won't want to miss him.

Do you think they’ll move Talakai to the forwards permanently?

Holy rank jumps, Batman! Going into Monday just inside the top 5000.

Only Galvin, so expect to drop just outside the top 10000 based upon how things are fluctuating.

I’m 13 /569 (I’m just pretending Shoes’ 8 isn’t one of those 5 remaining). Whilst the score appears pretty shit, there must be a lot of low scores as I have moved up about 6000 places into the top 20k. I’m hoping to get north of 700 which would be amazing considering the way this week started. Shoes to Talagi and Salmon to KPP would be nice to do Tuesday afternoon!

For all of the players underperforming and carnage happening this year, I gotta give it to Fogarty, he is doing really well. Every score has been at or higher than I was projecting his average to be - I was hoping for 55.

Could be some changes on the cards at the Raiders, wonder who Ricky’s victims will be this week!

I think Ricky’s reaction will be savage!
