NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 46 - A dour affair

TU: trading manu in
TD: sucking it up and playing 12

I have cheese, teddy, and 3 raiders. 2 raiders are going next week anyhow, so with manu will have 4 outs next week with the bye. With Ted now going origin 1&2, manu is a safe punt as he’s proven and a final team player regardless.

If any other red dots come for next week, can trade anyhow as the only possibilities (yes I know playing with fire here) are cotter not backing up and Armstrong getting a rest. Cotter backed up every game last year and is a keeper for me, so no fussed there. Armstrong has had a fair bit of outside noise this week but it was his first poor game. If he goes, he also misses rd16 and has made 250k so can leave early.

Ranked at 16k and with 12 trades, I want to be aggressive and try to climb as much as I can rather than plod to a 10k+ finish. Would rather fall on the sword after trying than plodding. None of us play the game to finish down in the slums hey!

Benji was a decent player, wouldn't rate him over Ricky though. Would be more in the 6-8th rank range for me.

A hypothetical question based on the "getting outjumped is an error" discussion

If someone makes a clean line break on the last tackle, and has unmarked support with them as they approach the fullback, but they don't pass and get tackled - would you mark that as an error for fantasy scoring?

Its certainly an error from the coaches point of view, but I don't think should be considered as such from a stats perspective.

Who are you trading out to bring in Manu? I don't see Armstrong being rested.

Option C:
Sucking it up and playing with 10, for a score of 430. YIKES

Normally, 375/7 would be a nice score....but not with 3 left. lol. Rank has blown out a few thousand.

C Teddy, Manu and May to come. Hopefully make up some ground back today.  Taking the hit for now, but looking OK for later I reckon.

EDIT: I should have looked at the late mail. Fuck. Teddy gone. Plath now captain. 9 players.

Wow....no points.

That's the spirit, Rabs! Best thing about a bye-round is that there are no H2H matchups, and you can postpone your ninth straight loss

Shouldn't the halves be looked at first?  They were awful.
