NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 42 - That round was magical

If Butcher is being rested for origin and Angus isn't, maybe Angus didn't get a call from NSW.

TD: Matto

Broken finger. I reckon giving him this week because next weeks a bye, then he;s good to go

Roosters hate Angus, remember? Or something like that.

Who’s he filling in for ?

Kings minutes are so volatile. Only 2 over 60 this year (60,62) otherwise he's had low 40's and early 50's. What are we expecting from him moving forward?

He's got the engine for 60 but seems like it only happens invariably. Was there an injury last week that boosted him up?

A mid who plays 13, 14 and 16 and has hands and feet

Yeah don't think anything would change my mind between now and Rd 14. Just no one to trade for him right now, but Terrell and Smithies candidates after the bye and price shouldn't get away. More info/injuries then too etc.

His PPM and filtering minutes looks like he should average 45 in 60 mins. A little overpriced if that's all he gets, but I reckon he'll have to play 80 or close to it on occasion.

I hate it so much after the pain of owning him already and only trading him out a few weeks back but I might have to go there too. Otherwise it's just get Grant and forget hooker for rd16 and 19 unless a value pick pops up.

However I'm concerned Cook's role could diminish compared to last couple weeks with Host back and Havili on the bench, likely not needed to play some lock time so maybe a straight split with Mamo. That could be a 50/30 split?

Or Angus did and Butcher being rested because the Roosters will need him fit for the next month.

I think it's more likely Robinson makes decisions based on his club's interests than NSW's tbh

I'm just spitballing.




(Whatever that is?)

Yeah seems unlikely it's anything to do with origin you'd think. Surely some kind of injury

Now that he's been named starter with no Garner, Sorenson over both of them.

It has looked like age might be catching up with him this year. Always been pretty durable, but noticed him on his haunches a few times. 50 mins would definitely be a killer. Mamo's defence looks complete ass from what I've seen, like not even in position to miss tackles at times, but only giving him 15-20 mins is a bit shit if they see him as the future.

Just hard to see Cook not playing 60+ with how ass Souths line-up is, even at full-strength.

Actual spitballing is when you wet a baseball with spit on one side to make it move in the air (it's illegal)

In the vernacular it's throwing out an idea (usually a left field one....see what I did there) into a forum (not unlike this one) to see what happens

Really it's just ball tampering and, as a nation, we're good at that.

Is this still Koloamatagi were' talking about.

He's filling in for young up and comer Camerion Murray at lock.

he's started 1 game at prop, if that happened a few more times he might be a chance at MID DPP, but I doubt it, as its really just because all Souths other props were injured.

Like Nat Butcher, Garner hasn't been named anywhere this weekend - is he injured, rested or just doing lines of coke somewhere?

I sort of understand the appeal of Sorenson, but seems a bit hopeful trading in a guy who who has only started consecutive games once this year.

Given his BE and injury history I'd be waiting at least a week before doing anything with him.

Nine or Line?

Nvm joke already done

Even tho he misses 16+19?

I have 14. Only planned trade-in next week is Sorenson. Would love for it to be for Fainu but can’t afford it! So will probably be for Cotter.

Just saw expected back R14, though NRL Physio not the best source. Guess it makes sense to rest him with the bye next round anyway
