NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 46 - A dour affair

Jumped a few hundred ranks with late updates including Mahoney sneaking over the 50 barrier

Strange>Wighton
Smithies>Latrell
Ipap>Twal

Those 3 basically locked in

Want to trade out Waddell but can't find the missing piece that I want.

Could go to Hands for cash out which leaves me enough to upgrade Cole, Armstrong in the coming weeks. Or could grab Moses and lock in an under priced keeper

I read the Phil Gould comments on Shoes differently. I think its clear they will not turn him into a big minute middle, as they've too much an eye on his future. Which is wise, sure, but makes him a happy sell regardless of byes.

A 737 moves me from mid 4ks to just inside the top 2k. Having to play with 16 this week despite 2 trades (Fifi and Twal). It feels so good to get rid of Mikaele. Young was a more difficult choice but I’m a bit Old Mother Hubbard for 16. Lucky Fifi is no chance to play Origin. I can see a quick reverse trade Wednesday night with a big Blues victory in Game 1.

As a Blues tragic, I would like nothing more than a "big blues victory" - but the burned out numbed sceptic, who is a victim of way too many years of Queensland "getting" Origin more than NSW, I'll take a 1 point field goal win.

I'll be yelling at the TV, and probably posting ridiculous one-eyed comments about the cheating Queenslanders on Wednesday night, but in all honesty, I fear what will happen. DCE, Hunt & Grant are too experienced at this type of game.

Sua will probably hit Hynes late and high and knock him out (or Ted), and muck up the Blues bench subs (again).

I hope Koula and Armstrong are named tomorrow so I do not need to make any forced changes...

Focusing changes on my final 17 and full coverage over the next 7 weeks would be nicer.

Want to trade Nikorima to Latrell

and perhaps next week, Shoes to Connor Watson

Hmmm never thought about Wighton being an option for Strange. Might be worth considering, especially with the same DPP

What is everyone hoping from Hynes this week?

I think it would be ideal for him to play half a game and pump out a 25 or thereabouts so when he is ready to play 80 again at the end of origin, he becomes super cheap (comparatively)

He would lose approx 100k in that scenario and probably have the highest recorded BE in the history of fantasy

You see MTB... While many people mistake us for twins, and literally the same in every aspect... this might be one trait where there is a clear discernable difference

How would we rank the Tigers forwards?

Twal, Uto, Fainu, Seyfarth?

Job/minutes security is a big one for me so I'd put Uto first. If you've got trades, Twal could hold his minutes until Bateman and Ipap are back but expect he'd be back to <40min after that.

Fainu seems locked in for the edge but with the same caveat of returning players.

Hands and Simpkin

We already did this last season

Yeah Hands averages 43 from Hooker starts excluding that 9 minute game (concussion from memory?)

As long as the Eels are satisfied with him and use him for the rest of the year he's a guaranteed uber cow. 20 points undervalued thank you very much, bye planning be damned.

For both of them to be back is around R22 according to casualty ward so I think the cheaper cost and still role in team where Twal probably only gets 5-10 less than Utoikamanu and around 30s to 40, I’d be taking Twal over Uto. Bateman is TBC in casualty ward but I think was around 10 weeks

Bateman also has form as malingering, and is pissing off at the end of the season. Can't see him doing the hard yards to get back fast.

477 for the week sees me dead last in LOTB and drop from 9,000 to 13,000 OR. On the upside, I only need 2 trades this week to field a full 17 for the rest of the byes (except 12 in round 16). So should catch back up a fair bit

I had Hands, he was alright when I needed him to be (until Brad got the frightens and brought back the big bloke from England)

I had Simpkin, trying Hands this time

Khass of any interest with dpp ?
