NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 47 - Origin time

The byes aren't amazing, and he probably falls below keeper threshold when a fully fit Munster returns. And he's fully priced.

I thought byes seemed okay? And like Dylbags, he can still be pretty worthwhile with Munster back. I do take your point about being full priced, but maybe still a tiny bit of value while Munster is out?

I just think he should be a good, reliable scorer for at least the next few rounds.

I think I'm set on my trades

Angus to Fifita

Oregon Kaufusi to Seyfarth (Oregon was a failed POD play, though buying him meant I avoided Jolliffe)

S Hughes to J Hughes

Leaves me $10k bank and the following team

I dunno about Sorensen with Garner on the bench.

Yep, that put me off too, actually. Ideally he’s a wait and see, which still leaves me with Smithies as a question mark and a red dot this round, leaving me with 15 starters. I could/should go straight to Fifita (if QLD win), but then same old story next week, I’ll need a MID, again, like half the rounds this year.

My team is clapped out. The fantasy team equivalent of Kieran foran. Has copped everything imaginable this season. Been a season of carnage but I hope no one on here can beat my side of unfortunate rejects.

I’ve given up on overall at about 27k now. Will have to take solace in beating my friends in H2H. What would you do with this lot?

Grant
Cheese fainu matterson
Luki angus
Hynes Galvin
Iro Tago
Teddy weekes Kiraz

Koula brailey dbrown hands
smithies Armstrong Chester Campbell

12 trades. $603k ITB

Smithies to Fifita the only thing really set in stone

Scores well at 2nd row, the hope would be that he provides good scoring in the 17 through this period with no byes while making $150k+. And I need a Mid for rd16. Would be nice if he was edge DPP.

Kepaoa coming into the spot was/is the potential risk.

Might just go the trifecta of Twal, Fainu and Seyfarth and sort the disappointments when they happen

Remaining byes

R14 - 17 players
R16 - 11 players (9 on the bye + Hopgood) need 1 x HOK, 1 x MID
R17 - 18 players (3 on the bye) can cover all position
R19 - 14 players (4 on the bye + Haas, Hopgood & Cobbo) need 1 x MID
R20 - 17 players (4 on the bye) can cover all positions

Should be able to make this work

Current team:

My plan for the rest of the season

Might be the first squad I’ve seen with 0 Dogs players

Do we get the extra 8 trades before R20 or at the ed of R20?

Anyone running a cheeky Origin fantasy for pride

Before R20, unless they've changed it from last year.

Mahoney could end up being my extra HOK... I am just waiting to see what happens with Simpkin

There was a bit of chatter around Wighton earlier, anyone still grabbing?

Looking at 2023 stats though, he can have some stinkers playing the halves, quite a few scores in that 20-35 point range

He is fit for RD15 if that helps your decision.

was just about to say his service out of dummy half was rubbish which was probably why he got dropped.

i take it all back.

I grabbed him before the last game, the HIA was annoying but he seems like a pretty good buy to me. Im basing that off him staying in the halves now and souths having a bit of an upswing after sorting out the coach issues.

But yeah 400k should average 40+ maybe 45 if he goes well. Can sell for the run home or be a good 18th man.

Lucky they can just graft some muscle in from downstairs and barely notice the difference.

Who mate?  And why even name Armstrong then if that's the case.

Yea I don't get it either. From A Knights fan who gets the occasional mail that is usually on the money when they share it

Incorrect, has been starting HOK twice.
