NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 42 - That round was magical

I think he's been decent, strong running game this year, showing effort, seems to be caring more

JAC hasn't done much in 2024 lets be honest. I always thought he just runs really fast and that's the jist of his game personally (He's good at it lets be honest)

Tbh I don't see that in Suaalii, but tbf I don't watch him closely in every game.

Good for Wighton

Bloody hell, I was happy to wait the fortnight for him... probably still will, but he could kick up a storm, plus he's playing the Eels and could/should put on and score a few tries himself. Extremely tempting to go early and dump Piakura.

This time last year we had the entire top five, a dozen in the top 100 and half of us were in the top 1k. This year the only metric we're doing well in is Del Bosque oof GIFs

With Cody out is Cook more likely to play 80 mins?

Dead cat bounce from the Eels this week.

Teaupa back in ? For Cody

He out played Lomax easily when they took each other on. However the rest of his matches have been meh. Half the games I forget he’s playing

You think they'll use an interchange on the new halfback instead of Cook?

He is at best the 4th best player in the back 5 for Roosters, behind Teddy, Manu and Young.

Suaalii makes no sense, for a new coach looking to build a team for the future.

Madge will be at Parra next year. He doesn't care for next year re: Origin.

Not bad to be 4th best behind that backline though imo

Won't be a very long future if you can't win some games today

It's not an NRL club where you need to have a "window". Pick the team that is most likely to win a series for you this year then worry about 2025 in 2025

If you were picking your team on form, you would have Teddy fullback, Edwards wing.

Wighton came into consideration for me once Koula was ruled out.
Chan to Wighton is even juicier with Walker out.

Yes he'll miss 13, but he offers good 14, 16 & 19 cover.
Reckon $408k is at cheap as he'll be this year with caretaker coach.

No just trying to justify getting Cook

At least you got on Aitken before anyone else, similar to me who got on Angus before anyone else. It's the little wins that count

Another injury to our depleted list yeah mad

If Levi scores me 20 this week I will consider it a massive win

Young might score a lot of fantasy points but he hasn't been great this year. Not confident under the high ball, seems to avoid a lot of contact with those early carries preferring to take 3rd tackle rather than 1st and seems to fade in the big moments of games. He is obviously still a project but current Suaalii (and Tupou) is better

I thought Parra were angling for Ryles?
(Although I'm not sure big Jason will want to take on a team that's on the slide).
