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

I think I'm going to break the golden rule and grab him this week. I've still got 7 r14 players after trading out Angus plus McInness and Hynes so a very good chance I can't field a team r14 even if I max trade unless I do a couple a week early.

I'll have 5 on a bye, but thinking a similar strategy.

He's 110 BE bye bye

I don't mind the idea of swapping him out for Fifita this week.

Fifita would be the next captain to Nicho so it's not like your losing a solid captain and you'd think he gets rested as you say.

The Sharks play on Saturday in rd 14, and Friday in rd 17. Not expecting Hynes to back up for either of those.
If he was injury free, he would have probably backed up round 14, but with his calf surely they are not going to risk it

I already have him, but expect that Hynes and Crichton will be heavily traded to Fifita then.

Why Hynes or Angus when Smithies to Fifi sounds so much better! Alas this would probably require Hands to get named as starting.

Like just about everyone else I have Hynes and Angus? If you have to sell one which one is it? Do you sell both? I assume Hynes can’t back up and there is no need for Angus to.

Will see how origin 1 goes of course and what injuries I no doubt pick up this week, but rd14 trades of Hynes to Fifita and Kris to Latrell are pretty tasty

Probably both but Angus first for me this week and then assess Hynes next week. Can't see Angus leaving the origin team whereas maybe we get some idea that Hynes might get dropped for game 2 (highly unlikely that we'll have a solid idea on that but you never know).

Dunno if mentioned, but Guth back this week for those who are suckers for punishment and need a WFB for byes

Hynes with the higher BE I guess, buy him back cheaper

Only reason I'd sell Hynes this round, as opposed to rd 14, is to get Teddy.

I've gone cold on getting Clark as HOK cover for JMK. Might just get hybrid WFB/CTR/HOK Damien Cook instead

Plus, Trindall will be expected to repay the faith. Having a somewhat decent halves pairing without him, they don't need to back him up even if he was 100% fit. Don't see them throwing him in post Origin when Atko and Trindall are fit.

Has anyone seen any updates on when Trindall has to appear in court?

Depends on the result of origin 1, and how likely I think it is that Fifita will get picked for origin 2.
Also interested in Hynes's potential status over origin period.

But probably Crichton out this week and leave enough cash to make Smithies-Fifita next week

Liking the look of Api again (how quickly things change). Appears to be over that injury problem plus a rest this week.

If NSW lose game 1 and Moses is available for game 2, will they switch to Moses.

Allegedly Moses was preferred choice if he was fit.
That's even assuming Hynes is fit enough for game 1

Talagi's Dpp rd 14, will be useful if he is still.in the team.

Probably been swept under the big walking carpet rug

So excited for my favourite round of the year, which I like to call "I held these idiots for 12 weeks and they all scored 15" week
