NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 40 - This is Magic Round because it can make your trades disappear into thin air

People are forgetting, just because Hynes is firming to play Origin 1, doesn't mean he'll play Origin 2 and 3.

If he's out today, I'm tempted to punt him.

Anyone know anything about how serious Plath’s injury is?

It was deemed a cat 1 HIA, so unless rumors come true, he should be back next week.

Keary probably gets in

Why no Weeks?

Went of with an HIA after copping a knee in the face, possible broken nose, but should be good to go next round

Given Hynes is battling his own injury - who plays 7 for NSW if he and Moses are both unavailable?

Wouldn't be  pretty

If the options are Burton, Luai or Keary, I'd put Keary in at 7 for his experience and give most of the kicking to Burton.

Keary/Townsend/luai/walker probably gets in

Hmm I might stick with my gut and punt on Moale as a handy option the next 8 weeks. Should see some good minutes and make some money for me. Plays 16 and 19 too.

@wolfking you sir are apart of the Rabbits 12 or whatever it is now please reply to the messages I sent  thanks mate

Earlier this year I was having a bit of a laugh when all those Qld forwards were dropping like flies, but talk about Karma!

I found this to be funny. Says statement in favour of keeping Hynes, then says he will sell him.

If NSW get thrashed in game 1, as is quite possible, and Hynes plays 7 with Moses not in the team, I'd be willing to bet he will be the scapegoat and missing in game 2 and 3.

They would need an experienced 7 or at least a 6 with a big boot. Puts Keary and Burton in the mix, can't see Walker or Townsend getting close to being in the team.

Townsend more likely to be dropped from Cowboys on a losing streak, than make Origin.

Walker has had 2 wins in his last 15 games and looked dreadful.

Would also need a goal kicker and Burton is the only first choice club kicker amongst them, or they would need to select Latrell in the CTRs.

Thanks.

If Hynes is injured too then Luai has to be 7. He’s going to save the Tigers playing 7 next year so why not NSW this year. Burton would be a lock at 6 surely.

I agree with most of that, but Stephen Crichton is a top-class kicker so that part is less of a consideration.

Go easy there mate......  

The two statements weren't meant to clash and have nothing to do with my current thinking.  I was just saying for the first part in relation to people weighing up how many games he will miss, but there's every chance Moses comes in if they lose.  That has nothing to do with the second part of my statement and doesn't mean I'm not adverse to trading if he is firming for Origin 1.  I currently have 18 trades left so would be in a position to get him back if I went that way.

So, just calm the attitude man like I don't know what I'm doing.

Sam Walker was born in England, so maybe he can take his pick of states seeing as I've just bought him.

Hell, why not play Drinkwater at 6 too?

Knights captain's run today? Would like to know if Best trains.

If Best is out, plus Walsh, plus Stewart I'll be short a wfb/cen. Cleary out compounds that, I need a half because I have to play Weekes at WFB.

Current trades are Cleary, Bateman, Wadell to Fifita, Grant, Walker. I could bring in Koula instead of Grant but then I'm playing Piakura at 17. I reckon Grant and red dot could score as well as Koula and Piakura probably.

Anyway, hopefully Best plays. Allows me to make the trades I want and hopefully get another price rise before potentially jumping off.

It was just amusing, not saying you don't know what you're doing. I agreed with your statement.

For some reason I thought SWalker was already confirmed a Qld'er

Maybe it was just the game where he ran from 10m out back to his own ingoal that confirmed it for me.
