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

Yeah so would you keep Talagi and not trade in Iro?

Nah I don't think so if it means missing Iro.

I think he's fine to keep for a week as a wait and see in EMG if you have more pressing trades (then likely an urgent trade if it's a low min role and not back starting).

But if you don't have more pressing trades/need him in your 17, easy sell. Milch's point about the lost potential cash from holding him and not getting a cow is a valid one.

Sorensen is the answer once price drops especially MID looking fairly light for R13

Yep - next week probably for me. Garner on the bench isn't ideal but he was for periods last year and Sorensen still scored well and Garner will alternate spelling Martin too.

Lock one in, stick one in the loop with Finefeuiaki, leave one out: Salmon, Hughes, Hutch.

Currently set up to lock in Salmon, loop Hughes, leave out Hutch.

Yeah think I’d go this way

If Hughes keeps the start I'd start him, loop Salmon and yeet Hutchison into the sun.

If Hughes goes to the bench (again) would loop him instead.

I think Hughes is good for 40 if he gets the same role this week (Max Kings minutes) and doesn't cop a bullshit sinbin.

TU: Hammer and Burbo to SJ and Chester
TD: Hammer and Burbo to Egan and CNK

I'm running with Koro as my only hooker which doesn't fill me with confidence, but SJ as a captain choice would be handy.

How do you rank these for tradeout priority?

Hutch, Levi, Talagi, Chan?

Fuck it, I am doing Taylan to Chester. I know Taylan is gonna get 70 this week but that extra 200k will be nice for next week.

How many clubs are represented in your team at the moment. I think diversity in this form is a good way, in general, of making sure you have enough players for each bye round

Currently - taking into account this week's trades, I am good for 13 out of 17 clubs

Just missing

Penrith, Manly, St George Illawarra, and Newcastle

Does that mean Lawton has an even bigger Penisini?

Where’s Karl Lawton going then

Alright lads, today's random query is - what is the consensus in the modern age now, re who pays for the groomsmen suits/kit for a wedding
u have been invited to ? Has it swung to take care of Ur own costs, each groomsmen ?

I... didn't tell my groomsmen to wear anything in particular. One guy asked 'dark suit, right', and I said 'yeah'. Then he wore a dark suit. I've been a best man twice, and both time just wore a suit.

Can you just wear a suit?

But if the wedding couple insist on a tux or dinner suit then it makes sense they pay for it.

Buy your own T-shirt and thongs - if they want you this dress up like a penguin, then they can foot the bill

Any news if Ponga is right to go this week? I'm thinking of captaining him.

Hutch, Levi, Talagi, Chan?

My 2C, in order of trade first to trade last:

Chan - I don't see a path to him being fantasy relevant again in the near future.

Talagi - Behind Chan because I think there's a slightly better chance he goes back to starting/being useful eventually if the Eels keep shuffling deckchairs.

Hutch - third because at least he's starting and is theoretically more likely to give you a decent score this week than Chan/Talagi if you had to play him. Not likely, but not inconceivable he scores a 45+ like he did in R4 and beats his BE. He won't play the Storm and miss 7 tackles every week.

Levi - his BE is 28 and he's averaging 29. I think he's probably a sell and more or less peaked, but unlike the others he's still starting with an achievable BE, so the least urgent.

I was wondering why it looked so off and couldn't figure it out.

Partly related, Rabbits21 in shambles.

Not goal kicking apparently so maybe not field kicking. I wouldn't personally
