NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 28 - Oooofft

Any inklings on whether Blaize might come back in next week? A win probably means they go back to the same team.

CTR isn’t looking good for Round 10 (I know it’s a while away), I guess Kris could be an easy trade at that point

Tough break mate, lousy luck with the Murray C. I did the same this week with my safe McInnes C. Both made the same decision, I got lucky and you didn't. Stupid fucking game!

Rank and TV copped a beating. Staving off the mental break down by telling myself it’s usually swings and roundabouts and will all turn around. Hurts extra this week though with such a high scoring round meaning the punishment seems bigger

Heads up to anyone else copping similar or worse

Fuck man that's awful luck, especially Garrick and Teddy who would be pretty nice PODs (had they stayed healthy). Definitely going to be swings and roundabouts, just look at Rabbits. He barely cracked 600 in round 4. Good solid round last week, and this week he's on track for 900! (not 900 factorial)

You'll bounce back, but definitely sympathise with the pain of having to watch it all crumble down and you can't do anything about it!

Or I can take Burbo's 29 instead of Levi

I'd genuinely take the 29

My H2H is basically down to Fogs/Stewart v Smithies/Flanagan. I would sya my opponent is probably favorite but hoping Chevy can step it up.

Haha I second this

55/30
45/35

Think you might squeak through there

After last night I think it might have been better to go Angus + Gun and then sort out the cheapies next week. Don’t think there’s any guns left that I want long term unfortunately. 

Uto could be a punt but not 100% convinced

I grabbed Uto this week. If you exclude his sin bin game in round 2, he is averaging 63 in 59 minutes, priced at 49. Doing it all in base, just 1 line break this season, but looking dangerous every time he runs the ball, in a stronger Tigers side.

Tigers are short of MIDs this week, and this is the season that he has finally stepped up to be the alpha in the Tigers pack, after showing what he was capable of at the end of his rookie season, when getting decent minutes.

He is going to be a massive POD that everyone else misses.

I'd say the chances are decent. Harper was really bad.

60/25 V 55/38

He wins.

With you mate with Tatola and Murray this week. We'll bounce back.

When you remove outlier values, you’re supposed to do it in both directions, not just the ones that don’t work for your narrative, like for instance playing more minutes than he ever has before and is likely to again because of interruptions in the rotations, in which case he’s averaging 56 in 56 minutes, still good mind you, but not the golden goose you’re selling

Definitely tempted mate. At worst he is a nice placeholder for Haas even if his scores drop to that ‘priced at’ average for whatever reason.

Also a 50 point player is nothing to be sneezed at amongst my lads.

Should be a good pick up. Massive balls to bring him in and captain though. Hopefully it pays off for you.

Marzhew has a few more price drops to come yet but is definitely on my list. Base is about as good as you can hope from a winger and now down about 120k on starting price

Apparently JD is remaining as coach...

As a non rabbits fan, this is great news. Not that I don’t rate JD. But I don’t want there to be change so I can watch them be shit each week

Yeah of interest for sure. Plays rd13 and currently looking at zero rd13 wfb's from my current team (not counting on Chevy to hang around til then)

Just have to consider Knights numbers with the rd12 bye. Might need to be a choice between Brailey or Marzhew in the near term. (Brailey's scoring not making me rush to get him though)

They’re keeping him because they probably don’t want to expose a new coach to Storm and then Panthers. If they win one of them, great! if not they can sack him no questions asked after a 1 win from 8 games year.
