NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 29 - new thread sponsored by Temu

i was reading about talagi on the eels forums they like us think it's rediculous that ba is considering playing him as a middle forward because he's too small & is not a great tackler...but later on they raise the point that simonsson is in doubt & talagi could play ctr..it's good that the eels game is early in the round so we will know what role he has either bench (a sell) or ctr (a keep)

My only wish for TLT is for Schiller to get another run

Des Hasler is weighing up playing former Maroons winger Phil Sami at fullback.

Sami is expected to return from an ankle injury he sustained in a hip drop tackle from the Dolphins’ Max Plath a fortnight ago.

Another fullback option is AJ Brimson, however that would mean Hasler shaking up his halves pairing two weeks in a row after he axed struggling halfback Tanah Boyd last week.

The Titans are still searching for their first win of the year heading into the round 7 clash, having recorded five straight losses in Hasler’s first season in charge.

FFS Campbell, Tatola, Burbo, Hutch, Talagi, plus holding Cleary.

3 trades just isn't enough.

Both he and burbo are way to injury prone to hold for me

Sam Stonestreet to make his debut for the sharks on the wing (Sione Katoa suspended)

Not putting Talakai on at centre?

BHU played NSWcup last week so i was sure he'd come on to the bench

Manly update on Burbo

Ben Trbojevic suffered a grade one hamstring injury against the Warriors in round six. He is expected to be out for three weeks.

Sold Hosking for Max profit in time, started season with KHaas....current rank 25,454k, led FOG for 3.5 weeks, 81st end of week 1, high as 12th mid round. I'm here for the bantz, clearly .

That's more than 90% of the forum members can claim at the end of the year so not that bad including the bantz.

Reading between the lines in the post game presser with fitz on the weekend, i got the feeling Iro was going to stay now and talakai will be a bench forward permanently, but he just doesn't want to say that publicly.. since ~the media~ will drum up controversy out of anything.. eg 'one of the best sharks players being "dumped'" blah blah.

Makes sense, if he does put Stonestreet at wing with Talakai on the bench and available forwards then it seems like Iro's spot is a lot safer

Haha, good name. He'll have to take time out from his other job as a no-nonsense detective in 1950s LA - just back from the war, taking no shit from loudmouth hoodlums. He might not always play by the rules but he gets results. Nobody crosses Sam Stonestreet and gets away with it.

I mean, they might put Talakai back at centre as well.

Kayal Iro has played on the wing once in his ~50 game career. I don't think anyone thought he'd go there to replace Katoa other than Fantasy coaches.

Croker was not mentioned in the injury report.
Can only assume he’s all good.

On a holiday from work, ready for TLT!

It's cool to be here live

If Sami is named fullback I’m jumping on Foran, it’s a dumb as hell idea and will almost certainly blow up in my face in 2 weeks or less, but it’s been a weird season and it still wouldn’t be the dumbest trade I’ve made so far
