NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 34 - Api Koroisau Fan Club

The annoying thing about Weekes is I don't want to trade in a Raider, 1 week before their bye when I already have a bunch

Helps I already have the trio of Kris, Strange, Stewart. “Helps”

I’m a bit constrained by positional need too. Need a MID because TerMay and Cheese suddenly looks very weak. Need a CTR for Raiders bye too

Same, I'm not getting Weeks this week with the same 3 Raiders plus Levi who will probably become Brailey this week.

I was happy to hold Kris for the byes but now I'm not so sure.

Already have Brailey. Would just run no cover but Brailey has rd12 bye.

JMK looks the most appealing but can't deal with that rd14 bye. Grant and Robson too expensive. Not that keen on Egan or B.Brailey.

Might just put the problem off until rd12 (hopefully).

Logically it’d make most sense for R16 player. Tanah Boyd haha

Yeah true. Just the thought of Boyd...

Spoiler:

By the time rd16 comes Api will probably be the clear gun hooker for that round again. Maybe I need to find $720k for Mahoney... that gives me a similar reaction as above.

Similar issue here. Don't really want Api, but as long as he isn't injured - given available trades and cash may as well hope he just turns it around. I know he's capable of good scores, and if not for a bunker decision and injury would have been fine this round.

My big problem right now is I've only got 1 CTR for R10

Really wish I'd pulled the trigger on Aitken 5 weeks ago. Now I can probably just get him in for a premium and have him dropped 2 weeks later for Lemuelu.
or find some other fallen gun and hope they pick up

Hmm, thats actually a problem for me too. Raiders have three byes within those 9 rounds.. at least i only have smithies strange and chevy.. smithies was on the chopping block soon anyway

I actually still have Burbo so if he played id have a ctr that might score 25 ish haha

Raiders look like a team that might struggle for a while, if strange stays in that 6 role he might have just about peaked

rhinoceroo wrote:Just had a quick look at the Raiders forum and not that they're picking the team but the guys they most want to drop for next week seem to be Levi (all of them, for Woolford) and Weekes (most of them, for Cook, who I haven't heard of).

When I looked up Weekes stats in NSW Cup Cook is the dominant kicker

Thinking of selling Strange this week

Need a cheap CTR who can score you 20 points per week?

Talau is your man

Actually, just realized Talau is up against Schiller this week.

Sad to see the teammates going at it for a week!

One of my opponents this week bought in Atkinson for his first game. What’s the latest news on Trindall?

Saw a report that he's been checked in to rehab.

I see some are saying Hynes is up to 124. Where are people seeing thus?

Seems unlikely? He’s got a pretty good thing going at the Dolphins

Bennets already off contract there next year - Woolf to take over as part of an agreed succession plan.

You misspelt Hynes..

As good as Nathan Cleary is, he isn't up to 124, as he spells and pronounces his name differently to Nicho Hynes

Nicho Hynes is up to 124, on NRL.com and footystats

Me too, unless Talagi makes a comeback.

Will grab Garrick this week to sort that but also need a WFB as well for rd10...


Might be Api & Terrell to Garrick and Tracey/TayMay

Marzhew now sub $500k but its seeming there might be a reason for that other than just WFB variance

I will clear up the confusion
The guy who previously did that job got a long term injury, and needed to be replaced.


Note that as long as the replacement gets long enough and are cheap enough they are good for fantasy - eg Braydon Trindall last year. Sean O'Sullivan when he first stepped in for Cleary at Penrith. There are other examples

For some reason I assumed that the responsibility passes onto the guy who’s been there all year. Just thought Strange would step into the controlling role is all
