NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 28 - Oooofft

I'm also conservative and would take the 32.

Would you have taken a 32 from Burbo/Hughes loop before the round started? Probably.

I'd definitely take the 32
This may be more symptomatic of how my seasons been going.
Maybe Burbo outscores 32, but Koula has plenty of sub 30 point scores and he's probably a bit better centre than Burbo in the same team

Thanks for the feedback lads, I'll play it conservative and take the 32 in hand.
I'm 507/9 in that case with Lussick, Hynes(c), Fog, DBrown, Turbo, Kris, Iro and Strange still to play.
Averages have me score me around 920 for the round, hoping for an HIA/injury free rest of the round

Yep, that's me. Hoping for somewhere 800-850. Will be happy with anything 800+

Paps only facing fine

I didn't get him in thinking he was a star or a keeper, but at $475k he has a very real chance to make me 150-200k. Galvin and May are the only other two in my team that I think will do that at the moment

I thought hip drop was one of those polarizing offences, you either did it or you didn't, and if you did, you get 2-3 weeks.

Same for Shoes. Thank the gawwwds.

I'll have to take the 32 also, but I'm thinking of playing Chevy over Levi.

The inconsistencies are ridiculous. For fantasy it's good he is free to play but you just know if JAC fucked his ankle he would be facing a couple of weeks. Just silly.

I did the same with Nikorima - he was priced at 32 (421k) and had DPP. Even though he has a highish BE I decided to wear that short term. I only needed a HLF for a week until I could upgrade to a GUN. As he was DPP i am quite happy to accept his mid 30s to mid 40s scores in WFB either as a starter (for now) and a DPP benchie (later) when I generate some more cash. I appreciate the optimism of Isiyah pickers but there is SOS and there is the fact that whenever there has been a third HLF on the bench for the Dolphins, Wayne has taken the opportunity to bring Katoa off for a spell.

I am hoping I can rely on a Johnson Galvin Strange Nikorima halves combo for well into the Origin period and bring back Niko or Cleary after they are done with their byes and origin duties

No shortage of halves options for the major bye rounds, and only 2 spots can be filled

Milford was only brought in for Donoghue. With the Hammer injury there was the forced changes which meant Milf played half. If it was Donoghue, the same thing would have happened.

Once Plath and Donoghue are back the bench changes again. Milf most likely won't see much more first grade. SOS will come in for KNik (assuming KNik is actually injured?). If SOS brains it, we may see a world where KNik goes back to the bench, but it seems SOS pretty much lost his chance as a starting half R1 - so unless injuries force further shuffles, your KNik plug is probably safe.

I'm leaning towards taking the 32

Same dilemma but with Finefeuiaki in the loop. Think I'll probably take the 32.

With Fine I'd say could be worth a go, he does look likely when he actually gets the ball, probably wouldn't lose much picking him, he's averaging 30 I think?

If everyone hits their average I'm set for 827 with 16 players. Can't turn my nose up at that really.

I think I'm in the market for a MID and WFB next week. At this point Rapana and Hutch out and about 100k ITB. Chevy and Chester on the watchlist and probably a gun MID (though I'm not sure who that is yet) on the menu.

Wonder if AFB will be getting extended minutes today, no bunty, only Ale & Jazz on the bench

I would imagine so. I reckon he is due for a big game. I am sure he has carried an injury he got in the Canberra game through the last couple of games, hopefully he is at full health.

6+ can Saturday begins.

Alone.

Because MTB is Jaeman Salmon

Have also noticed that, but nobody said anything so thought it was something and nothing.
