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

lubedragon wrote:Adam Elliot owners selling with the reduced minutes or is he tonning up for his 150th this week??

I sold for Angus. The extra cash helped get rid of a couple of muppets from my team

Will work out who to trade in after I work out who's leaving, but that's causing me some headaches at the moment.

Was planning on trading out Murray for his bye as was going to trade him at origin anyway, but probably need to hold him now. The trade out list is long so will be using all 3 this week.

I have them in the following order:

Rapana
Hutch
Levi
Tatola
Talagi
Chan

Rapana obvious high value and out for a long time. Hutch and Levi peaked and losing cash. Tatola would be higher, but at least he holds value this week - haven't seen an expected return on him? Have to have a look at Chan on the interchange, and even though I think Talagi comes on for a 5 in 10 minutes, that wouldn't lose him too much.

Would you guys have that in a different order?

Cheers mate.
On my birthday we bought a house, as you do.
Off to greener pastures and soon to become part of the Newcastle mob. Well, Port Stephens actually.

Any love for Gutho as a trade in this week? Good price and a big score potentially around the corner. Plays rd 13 and Eels looking a bit better.
In Darwin this week, how do the Darwin games usually go?
Is moses on track to be back rd12?

There's some footage of Piakura with the rehab crew (Haas and Reyno) here. Looks to be moving well?? would have to be a solid shot for next week (nothing really new there i suppose).. i'll have salmon and kiraz on bye so handy if he's good to go.. Salmon is probably a trade out by next week anyway, with Dogs likely getting a few troops back after their bye (King/Preston/Mann?)

Beautiful timing to swap Burbo out

Reasons not to get Blore?

I am a happy Blore owner. Only concern is Chan on the bench, but he could possibly be coming on in the middle as Bellamy has name dropped him as middle cover when Tui went down.

I don't think Chan is too much of a threat to Blore - maybe just 10 mins at the end of the game, but that isn't Chan specific.

The other options for Storm on the bench are all a bit samey and bland.. I think Chan is just a better option to play middle mins than the others and has more upside.. like who else are they going to pick.. Moeroa Lewis etc ?

Kiraz could be a straight swap next week for Garrick. I’m tempted, although Garrick doesn’t play Rd 13.

I'd take her last name.

I'm going to direct trade Cotter to Hynes based on the theory I have the cash, both will play SOO and have similar byes, I haven't got any other burning needs and I think the difference between the two from rounds 7-12 will be worth it. Also had a look at trading Cheese or Kiraz but would need to pick up a shitter I'm not keen on to find the extra $50k I need.

Had a good round last week captaining Carrigan and not having Hynes but feels like I'm chancing it without one of the big two.

Idiot or not? (Edit : specifically relating to this trade, I think we all know the 'in general' answer)

Who plays mid instead of Cotter? Cheese?

Who else is the cover?

Missed a trick naming her Amy instead of Annie.

Salmon to Piakura looks like the prefect trade next week

I long to be able to lock in a trade on Salmon

Spoiler:

After my 3 trades this week I'm already looking at probably using 3 next week on the likes of Hutch, Cook, Talagi.

I can actually see a world where I end up holding Salmon all the way to 13, if he can tick along at 30s and hold his price. Probably wont do it but its an option, Terrell is my only rd13 mid at the moment.

Chan on the bench

Cheese plays regardless and covers MID/HKR from the bench, Smithies moves up to MID and Angus comes in for Hutch (who is subbed by Hynes). Hughes.& Salmon to cover MID as well.

Summary is Hutch and Cotter out of the 17 and ANgus and Hynes in.

Happy Birthday! And welcome to the Newy mob
It looks like a visit to McDonald Jones for the NRLFF meet-up is becoming more and more likely

Yeah I was one of those suckers that fell for a 580k Gutherson. Hasn’t quite panned out but there is still time for a big one. Have Paps and Turbo aswell so not sure there is room for a marzhew but yep definitely keen on Garrick.

Could just get on this week and hope he goes big against the Titans

Think Gutho will turn out OK for a wee while. For as long as Moses is out I see him around a 50

Thanks for plugging community team sajjos. Its better than TU/TD polls for community consensus (although mildly annoying to use as a weathervane when you already own the player that everyone else wants to trade in)

Now to plug the captaincy poll
