NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 39 - Wow no Trbojevic, Cleary, Hynes, Bateman, Smith , Papenhuyzen

Now have to hold one of Piakura or Levi and trade out Bateman instead 

Have no idea why I didn’t just do Levi to Atkinson last week (even though he would have been stuck in EMG)

They've been very quiet about SJ.

They thought Bateman had a strain at first.

 Will soon see.

Not relevant for my team due to the ‘no fucksticks’ rule. Taller, more annoying, ginger version of Reed Mahoney.

Edit: and a more punchable face than Gutho.

Can’t believe my halves for the week will be Galvin and weeks.

That’s rd1 quality.

Lining up this week like

Egan
Smithies, hopgood, Curran
Angus, Fifita
Weekes, Galvin
Penis, Iro
Garrick, Atkinson, kiraz

JMK, Watson, kpp, strange

Piakura, Hughes, talagi, Chevy.

Also, dreamt last night white lightening was pasting me on here for some reddit post I made about golf.

I think my rank in the mid 40,000s is getting to me.

When I traded Garrick in a couple of weeks ago I was worried that I'd overcooked WFB with Him, Papy & Turbo

I did chuckle on the weekend when he was busy trying to pick fights with everyone until Hetho came on and he disappeared haha

Fukkit, going to need to hold either Salmon face or Piakura for another week.

Is it as simple as Salmon has the lower BE so just hold and hope he loses less than Piakura this week?

A short while ago I'd have thought Piakura was probably the better player and had more likelihood of stringing together an okay score, but that's not how I feel at all anymore. Assuming Salmon keeps some variation of the roles he's had so far this season, just hope he plods along to a 20-30 rather than hoping Piakura doesn't rip out another 8, which seems even more likely with the addition of Gos?

Piakura going to score a double this week, a season high 43 on its way.

Salmon is averaging 28 when playing less than 80 minutes this season, should get close to his breakeven. But more importantly he's not Pookura. At least with Salmon the expectations were never high

I'm holding that motherfucker...not worth a trade at the moment IMO and he's not going to get 8 every week. Some weeks he might get 12, others he might scale the lofty heights of 21.

Speaking of Rd.13 and big-bye planning:
Current Team:
JMK
Joliffe / Matto / Yeo
Angus / KPP
Hynes / S.Walker
Iro / Garrick
Ted / CNK / Weekes
Plath
J.Brailey
Galvin
Armstrong
Strange
Waddell
Shoes
Chan

I'm assuming Hynes / Angus / Ted / Yeo are all selected.
This leaves - Rd.13 = 10, Rd.16 = 12, Rd.19 = 10
Obviously at the rate that players are doing hammies etc. I'll be forced to do a couple of trades just to maintain these numbers. However, at this point, I'm probably going to just ride the Origin byes out with this mob and hope for the best.

Wasn't that meant to happen last week? When he scored an 8.

They showed him walking on Sat night, and it didn't fill me with confidence.

And if it doesn't happen this week, I'll say it again next week

Yeah, that's how I'm thinking. If they both lose money this week, hopefully Salmon will lose less.

If I somehow can manage 17 green dots this week I'd hold a Bateman or Cleary for another week over them, but with Fuller, Hynes and Chevy I don't think I get to the magic 17 this week without holding one of the spuds.

Hoping for a pleasant surprise, though, rather than more shit ones.

Actually, the kids call it a"narrative" these days, don't they? Salmon coming up against the coach that called him a weak gutted dog means he's going to be out to prove something and he'll put up a vengeful 32 instead of a 21?

If you say it for about six weeks he might accumulate 43 points in that time.
