NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 47 - Origin time

I’ve got him. Expecting a boost in output now his hands hopefully better.

swings and roundabouts but its pretty annoying i punted him and held matto, after matto is now what seems like an indefinite out (although named in reserves this week..)

tohu green dot this week would have been nice

Trell has higher upside but a lower floor, and is a risk of Origin. He does have a slightly better bye schedule if he misses Origin, missing 17 instead of 19

Hughes has a higher floor but lower ceiling, and is zero risk of Origin, but also has that calf injury which could come back at any moment

Latrell getting 200+ kick meters each week while playing fullback and kicking goals gives him a really nice base.

Seyfarth just feels like someone that is trouble.

Hot head on the pitch and the first to drop from the lineup should someone become available. Asking for trouble, whereas Twal is much safer for the time
Period we want him for.

Likely big minutes this week too with that bench, and stef backing up.

Latrell is moving to centre though

As someone trading him in, I’m not expecting the KM to continue. Was likely due to the half crisis they had the last 2 weeks. Wighton and Cody will kick now you’d think

As long as he gets dual

Had a look at Tohu, R27 bye really turns me off buying any Warrior knowing I’m going to have 20 red dots and 1 green dot with 0 trades by then

One of the great things about the Tigers draw is the R26 bye. Should see a full strength team in R27 that are fresh at the end of the season.

I don't know, he got a breach notice from the NRL last week, had 5 days to respond.
5 days are over

yeah sounds great in theory but probably not how things play out IRL

Yeah I'm not expecting the KMs to continue either (got Wighton on the watchlist next week once I see the split between him and Cody)

The goalkicking and attacking stats will be nice

Maybe, but still a better chance of lining up than teams that are firmly in the top 8 with little to play for and haven't had a bye for a while. R27 is a shit show, trying to field 17.

Think I’ve landed on a fairly vanilla set of ins this week.

Fifita, Twal, Latrell and Hands come in and leave me with 9 trades but I’ve rid myself of Mikaele, Shoes and Salmon/Matto which should ease the stress levels for the coming weeks

Don't know what you're talking about. We all traded in Matterson and Tedesco last 2 weeks and that worked out fine.

Thoughts on pre-emptively selling Armstrong and holding S Hughes?

This Sharpe news seems pretty legit, and doing the trade that way would let me get Fainu over Seyfarth if I want to (might go Seyfarth anyway and use the money to yeet Mikaele into the sun next week)

Also seems like the perfect game for SHughes to score a try and punish sellersp

The Pascoe Fiasco wrote:If you are considering Seyfarth at 400k and having doubts (fair enough) just think about what the extra cash will get you. Also if it’s a choice between him and Uto for example then Seyfarth only needs to score 60% of what Uto gets to be the same value. He looks set for close to 80 for some time too so to expect a 50 is not unreasonable. I unfortunately need a mid.

But also, Uto can likely be in your team until the end of the year if he stays fit.

Seyfath relies on Bateman and Papalii staying unfit in order to be playable. Post origin you will likely want to trade him out, or be stuck with a shitty bench player in your 21.

At this point I will always preference long term playable options over short term possible cash grabs.

At this point, hardly anyone has enough trades left to bring in multiple people they intend to trade out later

R27 they may need to win to avoid the spoon

Conversely, by that point it will also be the last game for the club for a bunch of players, so care factor will be close to 0

I'll take having a player that doesnt care too much, but is taking the field, over a player being rested leading into the finals. Lower ranked teams don't typically rest players in R27.

Very similar, just went Keon over Fifita.

May change depending on tonight but I think NSW win and then Fifita will get a crack in origin. He’s too good not to

Like punishment, so keeping mikaele & shoes
