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

979 back in the top 10k lol

KPP starting saved me from a Bateman to Jolliffe trade
Matto no playing meant I did Bateman to Fainu instead, which I don’t love at all, and that’s before I knew 58 minutes of NRL could cause him severe cramps

3 Knights and Chevy next week so more trading to come!

Watch list includes

Tago
Uto
BBrails
Koloa
Cheese
Friz
Tapine
Preston

Tago will probably be my Best replacement this week

Cotter and Fainu hurt as did Matto being a late out meaning I got Moale 10 who was 19th man over Strange 45 so cost me 35 points which is tough. Hasn’t been my year so far but guess can’t complain a 960 this week was pretty good just thought maybe I’d gain a few more ranks but tough crowd lol

I got a 961 and lost ranks, count yourself lucky

1 trade next week Piakura to Clark or Havili to cover HOK for next week and Rd 16. Havili for 100k cheaper to score mid 30s tempting enough

991 for me. There were 7 guys in my team I could have captained to get me past 1000. Guess I just don't get fantasy

NRL physio podcast saying Jolliffe mechanism of injury looks like a pec rupture (but of course wait for scans)

Hmm I suppose if that meant Clark could get 50 mins every week would be worth paying the extra 100k or so

And I was happy to have updated to 851

I sure am tempted to get him in to my team though!

Thinking I may have to leave the IKat gang. Will have only made ~70k on him which is disappointing, but I don't need him for bye cover and he's not going to make any more cash at this rate

856 from my 16. I will also be trading out Best. Probably May too. For Koula and someone.

Only plays 2 more games then Sezer is back

Roosters May? I’m gonna be forced into holding for 13 and yeeting in 14.

I’d like Koula but probably gonna have to look at more long term trades unfortunately

Haha, yeah I was being facetious. The two good scores are nice, but can't see him playing enough games this season to be worth it. Haven't got enough trades left to be bringing in short term guys

Bit at a loss why all the 1000+ scores?

Haas 45, Crichton rare sub 50
Fringe players like your Fainus with 30 odd, even cotter a mid keeper low 30
Matto a popular trade in, ruled out…

People just chuck the armband on Hynes despite him being in doubt?

My WFB/CTR did the business

Garrick 77, Kiraz 62, Weekes 64, Armstrong 87. Only players below 40 were Hughes, Cotter and Fainu

A lot of popular backs went 60+ (Armstrong, Weekes, Garrick, Kiraz) while most of the forwards went at least 40+, with some popular players like Hopgood and Grant being much higher. If you also had eg. Hynes/Brown half then you'd have been laughing.

My best guess is these people get fantasy.

Armstrong 87, Weekes 64, Galvin 63 all highly owned cheapies to give a nice base for scoring.

Bunch of popular players (Garrick, Fifita, Hopgood, Grant etc) went 60+. Lots of popular players went 50+ (Bariley, KPP, Brown, McInnes)

More importantly not many players completely dudded. Jolliffe injury would hurt. Best, Moale, Levi (if anyone still has) put up poor scores but I think a lot of people would be getting near 50 from most of their 17

My lowest score was 36, only 1 other score under 40, and fell just short of 1000. Easy to see how people would hit it this week.
