NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 47 - Origin time

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

I'm definitely getting rid of Hughes this week, but if Sharpe is still in the 19 and Haas starts for Broncos, I'll be trading Armstrong to him.

Really trying to target the best guns that have decent byes coming up. Have cover for the major byes, my only Origin players will be Haas and Yeo.

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.

I guess the problem with the tigers players in consideration is that they might not even be in the side by round 27

They likely both drop cash now, why would you hold them?

I have a lot of cash, so is easy to upgrade them both to guns in a round that most have to play all their shittos if they still have them.

Mine are Uto, Twal and Galvin, should all be a low chance of getting dropped.

I likely need them both to field 17 this week, and I'm willing to hold Hughes for R16. He's the kind of guy who scores like shit for a week or two then scores a try right when you sell.

Mikaele is one I would rather not hold, but I'm willing to give him one more chance (BE of 28 means he won't lose a massive amount of cash)

Shoes is such a sell it isn't funny. Don't get the holding motivation.

His scores are pretty low.
His BE is high.
His minutes are being carefully managed.

People want him for bye coverage? Cool - if 32 points are season-defining then go nuts.

Just yeet him for now and yote him next year.

Upgrading the last of my shittos and having none of them left in my side is a great feeling

Depth seems to be really important this season.

Uto and Twal are shittos

Not for Fantasy, especially with Klemmer out.

Twal is interesting, if he eventually goes back to a bench role, he can still put up a 50 sometimes. Will look to hold him and use as a loop option. Catch the good scores when he gets them and avoid the bad ones.

i sold him at 290k or whatever so i'm happy people are finally punting him lol

but he only had one game of low mins. prior to that was 35-45 each week.

but i imagine most people look at their squad and he's an easy sell.

given i hold max king im happy to get on board the narrative that hughes will play low mins for a while.

my tv broke wrote:i traded out tohu a couple weeks ago, but.. surprised he's not even getting a mention. is it because he had a lowish score last outing? lol. if he scored 70 last time he played i imagine he'd be a top trade in. classic fantasy

He's Harris Farms.....I'm shopping at Costco

Hughes is a cash cow, averaging 28, with a 54 BE  
He dropped $35k last week.
If you don't sell him this week, when do you sell him?
He also has a bye next week.

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.

Assuming you're talking Uto with Stef, he isn't in Origin

Your definition of a shitto is wildly different to mine if you think Uto is a shitto haha

i shitpost most of the time.

neither seem like final 17 players though.

uto high 40's average.. twal back to 30-35 mins with klemmer/ipap/bateman back (maybe the latter two dont come back..?). but people aren't buying uto now are they? if you've own him for a while you just keep owning him, hes obviously not a bad player to own.

if they're both punts around round 20, as ugly as it is, may as well get seyfarth for way cheaper. but its seyfarth.

Uto is averaging 50 this season and only misses 1 game the rest of the year. Will be one of the highest total point MIDs for the rest of the season. Definitely a final 17 player this year.

Twal seems to be the sweet spot between price and not being completely useless when players return. If he is only useful for 6 weeks then so be it hopefully he’s scored some 50s and made some money

He’s the only tiger I’m comfortable picking up

Selling Hughes after a low score is obvious. Just like selling Terrell after 1 low score was

If he goes back to regular minutes, he'll make back a lot of the cash he just lost for anyone willing to hold him

Kepoa in the reserves has played edge also.

Galvin is playing with a broken hand on pain killers, don't bank on him playing every week
