NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 36 - Undercover Mods

Also, wonder if they will run Hynes in #14, doubt it. Could easily see Cook as #14

Edit: Anyone want to take a stab at the NSW Forward Pack/Bench?

Someone has to fill Murrays hole

My guess is you can pretty much lock in a few positions now

8. Haas*
9. Koroisau/Robson/Cook
10. JTurbo*
11. Martin*
12. Crichton
13. Yeo*
14. Watson/McInnes
15. Paulo
16. Olakau'atu
17. Koroisau/Robson/Cook

Only about 4 players locked into the squad could mean absolutely anyone earns a spot over the next few weeks

Has Egan fallen out of favour because Warriors aren't winning? (Nobody is mentioning him anymore)

That bench seems really weak, Uto really a lock in for Origin in your opinion? (Obviously none of us no, just getting some hypothetical discussion going as I don't want to pick someone up in Fantasy who then plays Origin lol)

Out of sight, out of mind IMO

He plays for a decent Sydney based team he’s in the conversation

Paulo's an interesting one - he's been pretty poor this year. The Saifitis are in the mix, as is playing Liam Martin in the front row and running Ola+Angus

Really not that many options. Barnett a smokey

Hard to tell if Madge goes with form or incumbency

Apparently B. Brailey is in contention

My understanding is that he's been in contact with nsw leadership and he's in the conversation.
I don't see him starting ahead of an experienced origin hooker and I don't think he'd get bench spot ahead of Robson in form he's in.

Api starts, Robson on the bench. Cook a smokey based on experience. If any of them cop an injury - Egan is in with a shout for a bench spot.
I'd be surprised if he's not ahead of McInnes.

McInnes needs to be picked because he’s one of the best 4-6 mids, which I don’t think he is

Instead if he’s picked it’ll be some weird hedge that he can cover hooker (where he hasn’t played in years). Classic NSW

This sounds like every NSW eligible starting NRL hooker is “in contention”

Gone a bit cold on Plath anyway. Cant say why but feeling hes more of a 45s guy in 60 mins, than a 50s guy in 65-70 mins

If i get brailey, i can do Salmon to Brailey and hold lussick instead. Any sense in this ? Lussick dudding it up but could easily go back to 80 next week.. and score 40ish's. Salmon .. who knows if he is even good for above 30 with dogs getting preston and co back.

Lussick BE isnt super high either..

Conner Watson if we’re just throwing all NSW hookers out there

No way they could deny him the HK dpp then

The reason I’d want McInnes in a blues jersey is that he can play Prop, Lock, or Hooker, but he also has the heart and grit that an origin player needs. He loves dirty work and will tackle until he’s told to stop. He’s basically a Jurbo + Cotter hybrid

I probably should've punted Salmon over Strange, but I'm holding for that TB this week vs Tigers. Probably cash him out next week unless some miracle happens.

When Hunt & DCE are done it will leave quite a hole for the Maroons.

Mahoney is a possibility, Walker & Deardon

Weekes killing it.

Plath going great guns.

Galvin as suspected, brilliant.

Smithies threw an offload last night....the week I sold him.

It's Tallis Duncan time boys and gals.

I don't think NSW selectors pick on Fantasy scores, and Koroisau has been just about the Tigers best over the opening rounds. As a NSW fan I'd rather him than Robson or McInnes

Why does Waddell have to go out of interest? I missed the game but he's put up one score under 40 in his last 5 games and priced at 35.

I am with this, I also missed the game but happy to keep him for now.

I for 3, would like to know why Waddell has to go.

I missed the game (my soccer team maintaining our unbeaten start to the season to go top of the table)

I understand he let in the winning try - is that the sole reason to dump him? Or is it the 1 bad score and you're out philosophy
