NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 46 - A dour affair

Ted dramas led to May VC, I'll take the win (pure luck though).
809 all done (pre-updates / down-dates).

Rank went from 16900 up to 6503.
Can't remember the last time the Bludgers rose that much in one round.

Note: I only have 13 (fingers crossed Yeo backs-up) for Rd.14, so I'll be hanging out in the 15k + world soon enough.

My question would be why even play them? Put a utility on the bench to guard against pesky backline injuries and spread the 15 minutes out?

Surely you’d be better off shaving a bit of the wage bill?

There are a lot of bench forwards that average about 15-20 mins a game. Pretty much every club has one.

Why do any of them play?

Why have subs?

We are fantasy coaches complaining the player we picked didnt get the mins we want.

For Ciraldo and Patten specifically , they won the game. What are you expecting them to justify?

Do you think the supporters of these teams are more or less furious than you are with the performance .

At least Trent Robinson played Terrell May for big minutes . No questions for him to answer

Forget about fantasy, but I'd know how I'd feel if I was Sam Hughes or Mikaele, sitting on that bench for the last 65mins of the game waiting for the call to go back on.

Seem like things that should be considered during a nice hot shower. 

I’m just glad I’ll be rid of them next week. On a fantasy note first time under 20k rank since Round 4

I definitely have to rethink my trades next week. Time to look at that bye planner thing because what I wanted to work with will not work. Oh, a putrid 590 for round 13.

637/13 with Captain Terrell should tell you how much the rest of my guys sucked. Something like a mid 30s average. Bleh. Still went from 20k into 15k so hopefully can continue to crawl upwards over the byes. Top 1k is my lofty goal for the season now, top 10k more likely.

642 for me, good enough to climb from 22k to 17k.

It's a start.

Guy in first has 4 trades left but seems pretty well setup for the remaining byes. If the injuries continue the way they have though I would be concerned

e: he also has some sketchy guys already like Armstrong and Koula

If Nicho gets through origin unscathed, a clear trade for me.

Trade in?

Out

Ahh got ya

You wouldn’t hold if he gets injured either though yeah

4 trades next week should be a refreshing exercise. Lots of candidates for various reasons

A lot of options for guys to bring in as well

Hell yeah! Tapine, JMK, Terrell, Aitken, Elliot... lots of goods in the shop window

At least Elliot plays next week

Think Fifita and Jughes are two definite trade ins. Slightly worried that Fifita plays Origin 2 and 3 which kills his appeal. Maybe Fermor

Some of them even play next week

Are team lists the normal time this week?

Yes but teams can name extra reserves for Origin players so really it’s the 1hr team lists that matter for players backing up

Yeo & Grant are my only origin players, hopefully they back up

Missed the Teddy Drama
Played 13th
Cap Aitken
Mids 50 point total.
5 on the buy next week (not sure I want to trade any)
Paddy Nico backing up from SOO
Matto and Blaze in the squad
Happy with 16 next week I think

Love your optimism with Matto, laze and Nico next week. I reckon between them they’ll get 10 points and that’s if talagi gets a few mins off the bench
