NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 44 - Wow! No injury-free weeks?

Assuming that all my injured and sick players return by R16 and no changes to Origin teams, with my current team I will have:
13 in R13
13 in R16
11 in R19. Can trade out Shoes and Mikaele to hit 13 in that round.

Only downside is currently being 1 short in R14.

You were winning the count 8-1 then the ref gave Dolphins 2 six agains late the count was 8-3. I thought there was a few times the Phins could’ve had a penalty. You got a very good rub of the green today mate

Have an upvote that is correct

If Fifita misses out I feel for anyone he’s up against so he will be in my team in round 14

Souths and Tigers next 2.. game quality will be a hard watch anyway, but I'd rather swim naked in the river and freeze my nuts off than watch as a non-Fifita owner.

I didn’t know the draw that makes it much juicier

If you don't have Fifita, do you trade him in R14, or wait until 16 in case he makes the game 2 squad?

Game 1 result might make it obvious, but price not likely tor get away from you (any more than his current price at least) by waiting

He’s running at Host and Chee Kam edge I’m frightened already at the thought! He could get 100

Do you think every game should end with an even penalty counting order to be judged as well officiated? The penalty count could be 15-0 and if that team deserved those 15 penalties then the ref did his job

if Fifita plays origin 2 + 3, he'll miss 4 of the next 8 games, and 2 of the 4 he is available for he'll be backing up

I can't get him before R16 unless there's undeniable proof he'll play 16 + 19 for Gold Coast

What’s the general feeling on what to do with Hynes over this next phase? I could see him only playing limited game time in round 14, and let’s say he holds onto his spot for game 2, he might not back up in round 17, then, could miss 19, and has the round 20 bye.

If they rule an infringement for one team and the other team does the same but gets away with it that’s what I call inconsistent and poor officiating!

I don't have Hynes, and I reckon everyone who does should keep him

Very few trades, I can field full teams each bye with just 2 trades in R19, no need to trade Hynes or Crichton, who are my only Origin players.

He's not even in the squad. Can't see him in this series unless injuries occur.

Nice downdates

I should have 13 for each major bye.
14, 17 and 20 will be the tricky ones depending on how many of my orgin players will back up

Picking Piakura as 19th for QLD is wild when he’s getting benched after 50 mins for Gos each week.

NSW bold but I think correct move to reward Edwards (wouldn’t say Teddy is dropped), would rather have some utility option than the 2nd bench edge tho, and Mitchell over Suaalii or Lomax but I guess he’s not Origin quality with his ill discipline and errors.

Fantasy wise on 798 which is holding me around 9k. Actually happy because thought this time yesterday I’d be about 13k by round end

For GW13 I plan to quietly stew about picking Drinkwater over Teddy at R10 even though he was 130k more expensive because Origin. After doing that for 3 days might make some trades, not sure.

Latrell looks like a great POD buy with no Origin. Getting 200+ km and scoring great.

After being burned by holding Cleary way longer than I should have, im inclined to turn Nicho or Angus into Fifita rd 14.

Absolutely kicking me in the dick this week with a score of 920 in our league 8 matchup.

Score of 817 to.... bring on the bye round carnage!

Ah shit man. Unlucky to come up against me on my BS lucky round. 817 would have beaten most.

Yep, 3rd EDG in the team isn't Piakura, it's Cotter, then probably Carrigan 4th.
