NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 38 - Is anyone still playing this game?

No chance they should add more trades nor do I think they will, but do hope they are not totally oblivious to the fact that they need to make changes next season (increase squad size) to maintain engagement in their game.

More squad size and stop fucking around with peoples prices

669/15c Angus & Jolliffe still to play
What a mad round

Haha, I got the notice about 5mins before kick off. However, I was not given the option to change my captain and vice captain.

Funny thing is I really like my team atm, they’ve just all decided to shit the bed in the same week. 

Going to try just trade Salmon and Piakura and hold Bateman, Gutho and anyone else who plans on getting injured. Don’t have Dragons who are on the Bye so should be able to field 17.

Yeah, similar - its just never ending fires that pop up without a chance to just run a decent 17 for a couple weeks.

Piakura will have to go with Gosi there. Will see where Salmon is named but might try limp him through to rd13 at this point.

KPP is concerning, a problem well and truly not needed.

I need Sorensen to return next week BIG time.

Incredible that I'll have about 2mil to spend next week and looking at Weekes, Cole and Atkinson to spend my fortunes on. Maybe Yeo, but will probably go for the fellas.

Craig Fitzgibbon just saying he reckons Hynes will be good to go next week, for whatever that's worth.

We went cold on atkinson earlier, whys he a buy next week?

He gets another week maybe ? Then its back to hynes and trindall?

If it was Ivan

497/12vc JJ, Tohu, Gus to go plus Shoes 30 and hopefully something decent from Mikaele. Expecting another small rank drop at the end of the round.

Cole can wait a week. Price shouldn't go up too far next week.

They've probably already called the Warriors trying to offload Trindall

If my trade was a one week play, I'll take the 60 points and the cash and be pretty happy but I do think he made a case to keep Trindall out. Not sure Trindall would have been able to ice the game like old mate did.

I'm probably talking out of my ass though.

Wasn't Trindall playing quite well early in the season? Surely he comes back when available. Atkinson to bench? They don't really run a utility

Hynes to fullback obv

There was a tweet from that Barry Toohey dude saying the KPP thing was "Just a rest. Agree he's been among the best." So hopefully just a one off? Like everyone else, don't need that to be an issue to address.

I was trying to think about this today, but wasn't there an instance a few years ago where we got extra trades (was it 4?) for some weird reason? What was that all about? And did it happen, or am I imagining it?

But yeah, I agree, we're all in the same boat so as fucked as it is I guess we all need to deal with the same thing in our own way.

Yeah I think it was 2 extra

I had to play 15 the week before, took my medicine, then the following week when other teams are fucked and mine is good then add extra trades.

I shamefully wrote an email lol

Got a pretty condescending reply back from the work experience kid, so what I deserved really.

Didn’t think it was good and even though my team/season is completely falling apart te last 2 weeks as a Hynes/Cleary/Murray/Paps/Cheese/Bateman/KPP owner, I’m not keen on them tinkering mid season like that.

They just need to extend the squads next year. Even NRL teams name 22 a week, we get only 21. 23 or 25 would be better.

Might check that with Peter Lang I reckon.

I personally hadn't gone cold on him... just hadn't had opportunity or urgency to bring him in yet.

But with his BE / cash making potential and handy DPP, unless I hear something concrete about the Trindall situation to make me reconsider, I'll be all on it.
