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

Salmon sneaking his way to some positional security the one week we truly need him is beautiful.
He might still be shit but there is hope

Kikau news probably good for Preston?

Have 10 players as it stands for this week, will likely make 2 trades to make it 12. Really hope KPP gets named to start.

Might look to keep Hopgood since he is on the bench so will hopefully back up. Likely going to be Angus and Carrigan that goes this week for likely Teddy and someone else I haven't thought of yet. It is handy having Weekes, Strange and Plath all being able to play half.

Can Rhyce Martin come back?

I wouldn't trade someone in to get 17 this week if they aren't part of my team going forward.
Trades more valuable than whatever 1 player scores this week.

Guys like Teddy are the ones you should be targeting.

17 is over-kill

Good for Preston and Salmon you’d have though. Annoying Preston has scored tries these last 2 weeks instead of tanking his price

Finch wrote:Also, are Cowboys going to run Granville at hooker?

Or perhaps someone else...?

Granville hooker sounds much better than stealing MID minutes from Mikaele.

Hmm could go Preston over Curran but don't trust Ciraldo to not send Preston back to the bench when Kikau returns and bizarrely start Salmon for the whole season.

I mean, surely after years and years and years of cheering on pathetic failures you get to the point where you don't take it personally? Just like go, 'oh well, these things happens, just a game, still got my health' etc and get over it?

Agree, but if the other stopped calling him out and baiting him he wouldn’t retaliate. Takes two to tango and the baiting him knows exactly what he’s doing to get the biggest rise possible.

Rabbit living rent free in his head.

Teddy's going to tonne up against the Cows this round isn't he?
Some serious fear of missing out here
Picking him up will probably result in playing a man down in 14...might be worth it though

Between Teddy and Kiraz for me. Just struggle to see Teddy being left out of Origin for long

Who wants to captain Dom Young with me?

Fuck yeah I'm so in. Hilt deep and twitching.

Rhys Martin was in discussions with the Phins last year. Not sure what happened on that front. Someone could take him on, I'm sure.

Why? If Edwards is fit then Teddy is out.

Really? Had him or Fermor in my predicted squad for ages. He's playing well.

Someone's taking notes. Cheers Big Al.

We can all play nice, but there's a line. The "Racist", "Homophobe" diatribe, constant stalking/trolling/baiting and repeated (and mostly ignored) insults from two or three dickheads (i.e,. the cowardly Kung Fu Panda alt now renamed as "the Dolphin Conspiracies') and a few newbies who don't know the history of said dickhead's history from over 10 years ago gets to the point where I call them out for what they are. Keyboard hero's who would never say anything like it to my face.

Cheers.

Let's wrap up the Rabbit baiting, and Rabs let's wrap up the replies to it. No need for it to keep going on, it's clear the baiting is continuing and for mine it's more frowned upon than the responses.

But let's all move on now, we're just a week out from Origin. Fucking. Hyped.

Hmm well when you put it like that. Angus to Teddy still leaves me with 5 outs in 14.

Outs: May, Teddy, Plath, Strange, Weekes
Origin: Grant, Cotter, Haas

If those 3 back up and I don’t have any injuries then a simple Strange to someone will get me to 17. Not really keen on losing any of the other 4.

Is that how you’d see it?

10 playing this week. 10 trades left after making 4.

Brailey,
Ming, May
Tuilagi
Plath, Brown
Iro, Manu
Tedesco, Weekes

Benched : Hopgood, Cobbo, Garrick, Fainu, Piakura, Fa'alogo, Grant, Galvin, Koula, Fanua Blake, CNK

Traded out Crichton & Hynes. Crichton will get rested or limited minutes over origin imo with that roosters pack. Hynes can come back later.
