NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 30 - I'm not furious, I'm just disappointed

Currently sitting on Talagi/Hutch to Iro/Tohu.

Tohu gives me another decent MID option and lets me move Cheese down to the bench for when Levi leaves. That could be this week or next, haven’t quite decided

I would do those exact trades if I didn’t have Taylan May bleeding my bank.

I may still do this and hope May bounces back.

Thanks mate trying to get more cash gen my cash gen is at 11.24mil, this strengthens my 14-21 too but I am a bit nervous on Waddell. I hope he can deliver.

You can take notice of some fictitious qld origin forward pack or you can just not

Thoughts on Burbo and Campbell > Willison and Galvin + 187K

Both low BE’s. Galvin is a gun and Willisok just need to string together some mid 30’s until origin.

Edit: realising both non R13 players sucks

That's almost laughable. Who the feck put that to paper?

How many R13s do you have? I was just looking at mine and only missing 1 WFB currently.

8 to 15 seems pretty certain, assuming no more injuries? 16 and 17 not so much.

If I change to Galvin and Chester that gives me 15 players assuming Robson plays origin. Crichton could also be in the mix. With possibly Chan to become a R13 player before then… guys like Flanno, Fine, Salmon will be a tough hold till then.

Robson
Smith* May* Elliot*
Crichton* KPP*
Brown* Fogarty*
Iro* Chester*
Pappy Turbo Kiraz*

Fine* Hughes* Galvin Cleary
Chan Strange* Flanno* Salmon*

I think a load of people are going to be surprised how many R13 players they already have when they bother to add that up. I know I was when I finally totted things up this week.

Only WFBs an issue, and no real need to target those as there'll always be R12 trades of eg Turbo to use.

R14 with Raiders/Roosters/Dolphins on bye and Origin players maybe not backing up could be more of a problem than R13.

Correct. Rd 14 will be tough as Raiders /Roosters /Titans (if you actually have any Titans) have the Byes. I have 6 of these currently. That means I need to cull a Raider or 3. You also have to pray some players back up from Origin too.

How does Rd 13 work? Is it full 17, 13, or best 13?

13 players by position.

I thought it was 17? If it’s only 13 then I’ll be sweet

Just your starting 13 (unless your bench players are autofill)

Think I've clearly fucked up by running Hynes & holding Cleary.

Yeah you could bank the trade if you’re not 100% sure.

If you don't already own him, is Smithies still definitely a better buy than say, Nikora/Bateman at a similar price point and without any imminent byes? Even Sorenson is slightly tempting...

Probably still yes, right? Overthinking it?

It's Dolphins on bye R14, not Titans. Looking dire this far out with 3 Roosters and 3 Raiders.

Tough one. Whether Smithies keeps playing 80 is anyone's guess. He could be back to 60 mins for a 35 or he could bang out another 60 playing the full game.

You'd think yes.

Bateman imo is a hard pass this season. Doesn't seem the same. Maybe he comes good. But seems a ways off.

Nikora seems to be solid, but not fantasy relevant. Sharks attack seems a bit different. Doesn't seem as dynamic. Again, that could change but doesn't seem to be the case anytime soon.
