NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 47 - Origin time

I think it was Camo that posted about squad value in the last thread and how that is tracking to get the likes of Cleary, Hynes, Haas etc in come rd20/21. Currently sitting at 13.16m, only really have Tuilagi, Armstrong and hopefully Koula with decent cash to make.

Was thinking of skipping Hands since I got Tuilagi last week and low on trades but still feel I will need another cow for money making so maybe best just to take an obvious one while available rather than get to rd19 and try and find one when I can't afford the post-origin guns.

Tago an interesting option now that his price has slipped below 500k

Priced at 36 with career average of 44 at centre. Averaged 49 last year and nearly touched 700k

Tough sell with guys like Strange/Iro looking like keepers, Wighton being a possible keeper for 100k less with much better byes.

I just realised I need at CTR this week, Tago might be on the menu.

This is why I ended up with Hands over Moses this week.

He looks set to make 200k+ and do it pretty fast. With most of us having some questionable options hanging around and not a lot of cash gen that could be the difference between Fifita and Fermor in final teams

DPP updates seem to be based off what fantasy players want

One year Cam Smith got half DPP after playing 2-3 games there.

I expect Talagi to get it purely because he is fantasy relevant

I think I have to miss Hands due to byes not lining up with my squad. Annoyingly I could've gotten him last week if I'd known Madge was gonna be a dipshit with Teddy.

Squad value just under 13.8m, so I should probably focus on cashouts that can help for the byes rather than worrying about cashgen. Maybe look at Simpkin Rd 16, but could cause issues Rd 17.

Really sucks about Cole not counting for you mate.. not sure what went wrong. Mine took Plath at HLF, Atkinson WFB and SHughes at MID despite Shoes being at the bottom. Seemed to always work out for others, so I wasn't worried about my setup. Never had 13/14 for the byes before and probably won't again, but have to keep it in mind.

*Edit

Only thing I can think of is 2 WFBs being out just confused the hell out of it.

I'd get Tago is I wasn't getting Wighton.

Garrick was a WFB for almost all of last season who was named at centre in the first game of this one, so absolutely clear-cut DPP there.

Manu actually played more games (6) at 5/8 last year than fullback, so technically probably should have got that DPP instead of the WFB one.

In short, it's about vibes.

13.8m is tracking very nicely. Into the top 100 I see

Yep Simpkin is probably a no go for me as planning to get Fifita which will give me 4 players out rd17 already (Fifita, Wighton, Garrick, Koula)

Oh hmm that is kind of similar, yeah maybe the two red dot WFBs. I might fire a message in to see what they say for future reference.

Thanks mate You definitely deserve some credit for how I'm going, among a couple of others, but don't wanna start listing them and leaving someone out. You're one of the most genuine and on-point with potential targets and general advice, so sucks even more to see you getting screwed over. Maybe one of the WFBs being captain too played a part. Real headscratcher and hope it gets rightfully sorted.

I hope you have the inside word, because I feel like this is far from a sure thing  

Plot twist: his left nut is already missing

He’s had quite a few FB games since the last update?

Yeah but covering for an injured Gutherson. Isn’t it quite clear that players don’t get DPP for injury cover

Not sure if serious…

I’m just joking bro

I've heard he still has it but has used it as security to get a home loan

Tommy Raudonikis & Tom Dearden survived

So true! - BCT is all class

I've heard that 'Crushers' wasn't a metaphor

I don’t think anything is clear, it’s all vibes like Rhino said. Otherwise Manu would never be anything but CTR

On reflection, I think it’s all timing. if it’s updated at R12 and Gutho still injured, he probably gets it. Now it’s R14 and Gutho is back he probably doesn’t get it.

In NSW Cup he’s been playing FB or FE, but clearly reality matters least. Not viby enough.

The funniest was the time that Cowboys reserve grader got MID/WFB based on a trial game
