NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 32 - Let's get ready to rumble

Hutcho, Salmon, Campbell out for Bateman, Brailey, Piakura

Got cash leftover to swap Arthars for Garrick next week. Also eyeing off the paddock full of cows that just arrived

TU: Blore
TD: Bateman

On the fence currently. I really want to own Bateman but think Blore is just going to be a gun on the edge and has passed the 3 dates with flying colours and seems to be getting better. Low BE also.

Bateman off the back of his best game and it was from CTR. Likely he gets 20/30 in the MIDS to start and then moves to Fainu's edge with Pole on and then fainu a second stint?

Luai isn't remotely Origin standard without Cleary, but I reckon QLD would prefer an uncertain Hynes in 6 over a confident and smooth-meshing Luai.

Every day of the week and twice on Sundays. Just paste in the Panther's spine (with Koro, drop Teddy) and NSW win easy.

As a true-blooded Queenslander I'm super happy that isn't going to happen. Can't wait for Madge to pick a team of plays-for-themselves superstars (as happens every year) who'll get rattled by a team of plays-for-each-other randoms.

This week I am thinking.

Lussick ==> Shaq

Russell ==> Fainu

both value trades???

It means I just have Cobbo was WFB/CTR cover but I can get one of the cheapies in after having a look at them this week...

Any word of how long Trindall is out for yet? That could make the decision easier - or it might be worth getting Weekes instead

EDIT: actually bringing in yet another Raider just before their bye makes no sense

Shaq Mitchell is out not sure on serious of injury yet club is being very tight lipped

Duncan or Chee Kam in

Different varieties of potatoes

Can someone give me a 2 minute run down of key guns and cows this week?

Away on a baby moon of sorts and time poor/too scared of my wife to be on my phone much

I have the usual suspects of fog, Campbell, lussick, talagi, Levi etc to remove

Might keep Campbell now. No word on him?

Talagi a slight chance of FB with gutho cooked? Or not really?

Averaging 3.33 injuries a week the last 3 rounds and dropped from 1800 to 19k haha RIP

I think Madge is a better coach than that, I think he'd be more predisposed to picking the latter category of player. I think there's a good chance he picks McInnes as a middle, that guy gets Origin more than any NSW player I've ever seen.

TU: Koro > Hynes
TD: Cheese > Hynes

Cows, really there's not 1000% certainty around any of them, take a gamble or wait a week

There's no "must have" gun this week. But can trade out Levi/Lussick/Campbell for a gun for sure. Sharks #6 is probably the most likely out of any simply because Trindall is gone for a while no doubt.

Catch you folks in 24 hours or so.

Heading away for the evening (I think)

FYI Plath played 9 games in Q Cup at lock last for a 42 avg in about 65-70mins that was with a 36 and 42 in 80mins that put me off him. I think he will be a 45-46 guy so just 4-5 points value.

Yes both have proven to be spuds - I would not go near them

He was named at 8-PROP yesterday afternoon... when did the injury happen?

Any colossal news today I've missed ?

I think I'd hold Koro and hope for a run of tries. Could end up a final 17 player still, while BSmith probably isn't.

Not a bad draw for Koro coming. Haas back for Broncos, so there's a gimme next to the posts.

I would be more interested if he was at 5/8, Cody looks jaded and carrying weight, reckon JD dropped the wrong gun at least Cookie was having a dig, even if Jye is ready for the top grade I have feeling JD will use the old " we have to ease him in " to pacify the troops.

JD will be gone after next 2 games I think Furner interim.

If Jye brings the same energy he bought against Cronulla he could hold the spot he gave us some spark.

I’m just waiting for Loomer to finish his chat at the pub

my tv broke wrote:

upside: holds onto starting edge spot, 430k, scores well for a while. he looks to have a future in the nrl, passes eye test.
risk: he's young, benji shuffles the lineup again, bateman at 13 doesnt work out, mins fluctuate, wasnt worth a trade, etc



It occured to me I could punt Salmon to S Fainu right after I posted it. There's a chance Lussick can resume 40+ scoring, and Salmon shelf life has probably expired anyway.

Fck Lussick I can’t do it anymore he’s gone for me 35.4 avg last 5 weeks don’t think that improves much

Had a look at a few games. Was playing 5/8
