NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 48 - On paternity leave

Bateman lasted a week at lock, then iPap was named there the next week with Bateman available and playing edge, Twal was named at lock the week after that, with iPap available and playing edge. Twal is the incumbent lock in the team when Bateman returns to replace Seyfarth.

haha the incumbent! you're taking the piss now right?

benji shuffles the team every week.. except from now on. IT STAYS THE SAME

Klemmer and Bateman both due back R17 - Can't see Twal keep playing LOCK in that scenario... I am also a little wary of Latrell shifting back to CTR when that little Jye Grey is back..

Shame because they both offer such good bye coverage

You are backing Seyfarth to stay at EDG ahead of Bateman when available?

The Dolphin Conspiracies wrote:

Look like Twal only has 3 weeks at LOCK until he shifts back to the interchange. Does that work for you?

Think it's more likely Bateman returns at edge rather than Benji running Seyfarth or Kepaoa there.

If he can get near enough 50mins between now and rd20 that'll do.

I'm trading Hughes, I don't care.

Gone cold on Twal because Tigers are going to change every week and Bateman back sooner than I thought, Armstrong to "not sure yet" will be my play.

these theories are for our entertainment right?

Nanai & Dearden in bench

Cotter & Holmes extended bench.

Wonder if Clifford will play hooker with Sam Mac?

Obviously no way Macintyre plays 80 there?

Tigers have used 6 different locks this year. But it's the 5th one, who isn't even named there this week, who is the incumbent .

Job security like you've never seen before .

I've even traded Twal in, but mattnz's confidence has me rethinking it.

Pretty sure Dearden has played a little hooker before.

Not confident in Cotter playing at all.

If I was higher on the ladder, I would've held, but have to get to playoffs first. Or ore accurately, avoid relegation alongside B/L

Plus already carrying Cleary, then Edwards and Wilton shorter-term, and 2 on byes.

Yeah definitely fair. I'm lucky I had a fortunate start so have a few losses I can accept. Got like 6 out on the bye this week so just taking this week as a complete write off. Easy win for CBW this week. I'll take him out in the GF this year.

I thought you were all over him leaning over to sey sweet farth into your ear earlier in the season...

What's changed?

Might be worth just burying Armstrong for one week.

Storm give them a touch up at home and sharpe is actually blunt and the kid will be back quicker than you can say Ponga

That said my current backline is Koula Armstrong Atkinson

FMD what a season. Might be Latrell time. He’s only 20k more than Kiraz. Madness

Owning Seyfarth for several weeks, including when he was starting EDG and watching him closely every game.

They moved an EDG to lock to give Fainu an opportunity to start on an edge. As soon as one of their edges was out, they moved Twal to lock, instead of playing Seyfarth EDG and iPap lock. Seyfarth is their last resort edge, after iPap, Bateman and Fainu and the first to make way in the starting side when Bateman returns.

Matt is going to hangTwal the end of his season on a Pole

I think this forum puts way more thought into it than Benji himself.

He’s just trotting out a fit body

Nah he is the one Tigers mid I didn't buy.

Constantly flipping between;

0 trades and playing 16 that includes Armstrong, Matterson and Hughes
Or
3 trades and get rid of these absolute stinkers, but run out of trades well before R20

I've only had 4 round ranks inside the top 10k this season. Fuck me dead that's woeful.

just buy RFM. 96 last week, should banner easily against the tigers.

You could consider Randall as a left field super sub gun dpp HOK/MID - he is right up your alley MattNZ

0.92% ownership - shifting back to a roll where he has shown potential as a big scorer in the past and it is likely no-one picks him up with the uncertainly with JC and Boyd. Just as much chance of averaging 50 than Twal for less and with similarly good byes...

If Lucy hadn't signed for Dragons, everyone would have started with RFM and traded him out by R5.
