Cheers for the input, I promise that was a legit question and not rep farming

maybe the rumour of koula's shoulder injury was a factor

do you agree. cheers.

I'm in almost the same boat with 18 green dots this week, however I have Jolliffe too. Think I will go no trades this week so that I can see who makes origin and then trade him out from there. Hoping Hopgood doesn't and then I'll trade him in round 14. There's no one jumping out at me this week to replace Jolliffe, or Salmon for that matter with so will just hold off

Is there merit in trading Jolliffe to Wishart? have mids covered for now.

Hey guys - hope everyone is well. Things have been too hectic to contribute regularly this season, after around 15 years on here I finally understand what people meant when they used to say they're too busy to be involved on here!

Wicky's my full-time gig and we've started doing a weekly NRL Fantasy preview article - https://wicky.ai/content/fantasy-and-tips/nrl-fantasy-watch-round-12-2024/

Our discord has a mix of fantasy/sc + punting chat, we just crossed 4000 people on there recently. All our resources and the link to the discord community are all available for free here https://linktr.ee/wickyai

Sitting at 33k in Fantasy and not much better in SC - hope we've got a few around the top 50 with a realistic shot at taking it out this year!!

Similar sort of thing for me, got only 2 sells between now and R13 - Ikat and Willison

I'm trading Ikat to Manu now (Manu will be a genuine must have next week and is a top 2 CTR to the end), and then Willison to Brailey next week (leaving me 13 in round 13 and 4 outs in round 14)

Best option under 300k?

Could be Matamua if you think he holds the lock role and 40+ minutes?

Bit of a wasteland under 300k

Not sure who to for. The Shart or Fighton.

What's the gos on Matamua? Seems like Benji playing musical chairs with that Lock position, though injuries and suspension may have also played a part

I'm really about to either trade Grant a week before origin, Cook back in for $690k playing less than 80mins or Mahoney for $700k. I think Mahoney might be winning MS don't try and put me off him again I'm truly on to you now keeping him all for yourself.

Owning Mahoney feels like being 1 week away from a 30 point 15 missed tackle performance. As soon as his bye usefulness runs out I'll be flipping him to Grant

Terrell has been in the 17 every week, minutes up and down week to week but that’s just game state.

Whyte played R1-9, missed 2 weeks when Radley and Leniu returned (dropped)

Now Whyte is back, Radley is moved to EDG to accomodate him as has previously been suggested would happen, and Butcher is “rested”.

I just think at this point in time, Robbo legit doesn’t think he’s in their best 17

I don't think Robbo knows what the best 17 is at this point. Only spots that are really locked in are JWH, Collins as prop, Crichton on the edge and Watson/Radley somewhere (Hooker? Lock? Bench? Edge? Half?)

Got until the finals to figure it out so I think we see a lot of tinkering

One of these superstars will sit at 18 this week and will force me to trade Best to someone after a terrible score. The other two will be in the 17 doing feck all. Who do ya have a look at?

Salmon, Hughes, Mikaele.

Ipap reported to be leaving tigers at the end of the year.

Could on minute watch now.

Nothing about this season has been easy.

Somebody get the violin out.

Or they absolutely flog him and send him on his way a broken man

Do you think they will make him wrestle?

Thought Ipap might want to return home

Bad teams often refuse to play quality players that are leaving. Being even shitter is a sure-fire way to attract the talent they need in order to improve.

Looking at him, comes with the risk but not alot of options.

How many different locks have the Tigers used this season?

You are braver than me if you are banking on 'current round' lock being the one to finally secure the position

Roosters didnt get Fifita so maybe they have other targets in mind now?
