NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 41 - You can't spell "rampant criminality" without NRL

Bethany_B wrote:961 for me, 13.7k to 11.8k. Nice steady gains.

Given I have 550k bank, I'm thinking of selling Ikat early and bringing Manu straight in - leaves me no worse off for R14 than I am already (4 guys on the bye) and he'll be a must at fullback against a dogshit Cowboys team.

I kinda forgot about Manu recently because he hasn’t lost cash this year but he deadset could be best captain for R13. Averages 65 at FB (excluding injury games)

HOK: Mahoney, Robson (possible Origin)
MID: Hopgood, McInnes (both possible Origin), Watson (uncertain role at 750k+)
EDG: Crichton (probable Origin)
HLF: Hynes (all but definite Origin), Weekes (lol), Brown (did bugger all playmaking today)
CTR: Manu
WFB: Edwards

Anyone know why Samuela Fainu only got 58 mins?

That is a very lucky score if you are Chinese or a numerologist! Congratulations! Just imagine how awesome that would be if you were a Chinese numerologist! Winner winner!

He almost certainly is the best captain in R13, all he needs is Teddy to be picked for Origin.

He's also a must for R16 for a similar reason, and the Roosters draw is so disgustingly good that he's easily a keeper all year. It'll be nice to lock him and Aitken in together.

A 945 was enough to move up about 100 places. Gees, either the 3-6k has very similar teams or there were some massive 1k scores!

Fingers crossed no one in my team does a hammy in training and I should be ok next week with 3 Knights on bye. Need Sorensen to take his edge spot back.

Hopefully only trade will be Chevy to a hooker (the full extent of the options appear to be Grant or Cook...). The more I look at it I think I might get suckered into bringing Cook back even with less than 80mins, his byes work too well.

Traded in Haas, DBrown and Weekes this week.

They did their scoring wrong

Brown next to Asi is far less ideal but will probably still have to be my C as things stand

Updates and downdates are in for the second game

Talk about an up and down season. Since Rd 5 I’ve gone 786, 926, 733, 927, 971, 695, 945. I totally stuffed the captaincy on the last two rounds as well. Onwards and downwards I guess!

Net positive of 1

That has to be the worst performance to get a 73 by Hopgood

No injuries this week so no trades. No injuries so no trades! No injuries, probably trades anyway. I really need a no trade round.

Salmon coming back in might mean I don’t need to trade this week. That’s my team in a nutshell

1022 for the week, way better feeling then the 650ish or whatever i scored last week, was lucky enough to grab KPP's score with Matto being out (was out saturday and didnt notice KPP was starting so left in EMG)

Lussick smashed his way up to 31

Not effective at playing 80.

Insane. Wasn't watching game live but keeping an eye on H2H scores. Other dude had Hopgood and he was on 17 for what seemed like ages... even at half time, I think? Then I could have sworn he finished on 54, and I looked 10mins later, after the match and he was on 66. And now 73. Madness. I watched the match, assuming he'd scored a couple of late tries or something, but was it just the 87 offloads he threw in the later part of the second half, I assume.

Anyone using Fuller as a loop? Showing a zero and not counting the AE. I'm sure that will get sorted...........
