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

Also have Garrick and think I'm getting Koula. Hard to say no to. But could go Cole instead (I'd just probably want to hear more about Schneider)

I think its necessary. The only guy that I have any concerns about playing in my 17 currently is Mikaele, but even with minimal minutes, he is beasting during his time on field. Will eventually have a lower output game, if his minutes stay low. Hughes seems to have a decent minute starting spot now.

If he stays on the bench and you hold him for rd13 he probably drops all the cash he has made and you might still just get a 30 pointer in rd13. Is that worth it?

At the same time, many other fires etc.

Its certainly concerning

But I have bigger fires to fight, so the KPP plan for now is to hold, and hope it works out. This isn't necessarily the desirable outcome, but its what I (and many others) might be forced into

Yeah 3 Knights on the bye next week, Plath uncertain if there's anything to that rumour, Hynes who knows.. Throw in another injury or suspension this week and those that traded KPP last week are laughing.

Does Wishart stay in the halves when Munster plays origin, or hooker when Grant plays?

He will play halves with Garlick breath at hooker

Your team might have some injury/form issues. But so does community team

Come help us out

Im happy to wait, hopefully til rnd 14 ish (mainly due to trades situation)

Dropping cash isnt that big of a deal.. everyones getting cheap lol

The concern for Wishart is that he will lose cash every time he is on the bench, in between starting games. Has averaged 14 off the bench this year, which is better than last season.

Likely starts in rounds 11,12, bye in R13, then benched R14 & 15, starts R16, then needs to be traded out.

Having to play a benched Wishart in R14 sounds putrid, as everyone will be struggling for numbers, with Raiders, Dolphins and Roosters all out that round.

Official BE is 30, so higher than what mtb/myself are saying, but not astronomically so.

Alright, that's achievable. Can wait a week though to have a look if you wanted to.

Cheap player thats playing this week that allows me to get Yeo and not play Salmon.. I'll take it

Also have Garrick and getting Koula, but I am much more worried about 14 and 16 than 13 at this stage, and he is a DPP

Oh! and most importantly rid myself of Levi

Jeez.....is Fifita actually the smartest play now? Looking at his schedule, he plays 6 out of the next 10 with two of those games backups from Origin. Both those shouldn't be a problem with one of Saturday and one Sunday but oof.....that might change things.

Is playing a max of 6 out of 10 games a good thing?

Assuming non origin - Tigers play 9 of the next 10, and there are plenty of teams that will play 8 of the next 10. And don't have to worry about backing up or not in post-origin rounds


Getting non-origin players often means avoiding the best scorers, so there is that consideration. But very conceivable Fifita misses half of the next 10 games.

That's exactly my point. I wasn't saying it as a positive.

I read that opening line the same as Milch and was confused also.

"Jeez is Fifita actually the smartest play?" ambiguous phrasing, but more commonly used as a positive I think.

The other issue with trading out KPP is the kinda slim pickings around his price range. I don't really fancy anyone around it besides Nikora who I already have...

The only other option I could get around is Cook at his price but his minutes are a massive concern with that hooker on the bench every week

if he plays 6 games and averages 75, he is smartest play.

if he plays 6 games and averages 50, you could have waited.

as we now know, players will continue to average whatever they scored in the most recent two games, for the rest of the season.

hope this helps

honestly he's pretty hard to resist atm. until he scores a few low 50's of course ?

Yeah it makes more sense trading him out as part of a combo with Turbo or someone else. One option I've considered it Turbo/KPP to Weekes/Any forward or Koula/Hopgood
