NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 48 - On paternity leave

Me too was called a trap on every podcast this week but at least ran the 260m again and was all base scoring

Unless state and club manage carrigans mins better he'll be on the sidelines busted like Murray.

Down to 8 trades myself after trading Armstrong. For me thats pretty good and better than last year I am pretty sure. Short of a hooker and an outside back/half for 16 which isn't too bad. Hopefully injuries/suspensions will be kind to me but they probably won't be.

Yeah I'd take the 39. That first game Talagi played at centre he played really well and scored a try for 42. Would suspect that's about the ceiling at centre

7 trades left atm. I'll be very happy if I can get to rd20 with 3 left (only had 1 last year).

Any ideas what a good or or score would be this week?

6 left for me after using 3 this week. Fielding 17 though and 615/10c. And at this stage can field teams until rd19, just have to hope the carnage eventually calms down.

Edit: except rd16 hooker

Ive got 10 trades at the moment, probably be 9 when matto is cut

Parra just posted coaches media. Nothing relevant in it re matto. Or anyone else really.

Hard to say with most teams still having half their players to go

Just as important as number of trades, is how many of your team are keepers.

I only have 9 trades left, so the more people in my team who can stay there until they get injured, the better

Thats been my focus this week, added 3 keepers.

Down to just 3 trades left, but have full bye cover, and happy with my team, so only need to trade for medium term injuries the next few weeks.

Brailey
Yeo Haas Uto
Fifita Sorenson
Brown Galvin
Aitken Kiraz
Latrell Weekes CNK

Plath Egan Tuilagi Twal

Well let's see.

Grant - keeper
Carrigan - keeper
JDB - possible keeper 17th/18th/19th
Curran - possible keeper 17th/18th/19th
Fifita - keeper
Fainu - possible keeper 17th/18th/19th
Galvin - possible keeper
Hands - possible keeper 17th/18th/19th
Tago - keeper
Kiraz - keeper
Latrell - keeper
Campbell - possible keeper
Drinkwater - probable trade

Brailey - possible keeper
Weekes - probable trade
May - possible keeper
Twal - possible keeper 17th/18th/19th

Walker - probable trade
Wighton - probable keeper at about 19th/20th
Armstrong - probable trade
Salmon - probable trade

5 probable trades and a shit tonne of possibles. Hmm. Yep I'll be dipping into those 8 trades to finish the team with only a few for injuries before white knuckling to rd27.

I don't have the cap that others have though, so some of those possibles I'll need to keep purely for $ reasons as well as trade reasons.

Plenty of zero trade holders coming up next week

I thought he looked great out there. Some dangerous runs and could have scored. Looked likely, if he had gone over would have been 20+ point tries.

Happy owner.

Penrith v Manly gonna be a boring one for me with no one in it. 

Think that’s a bit weird

I'm the other way, 3 in that game, none in Storm vs Knights.

None!!

Ive got 5 in that one and then 4 tomorrow.

Having 4 on a bye this week hoping to field 17 was wishful bye thinking. Im thinking rd 17 will also throw some spanners in the works with restings or injuries...

I was thinking about this yesterday Milchcow...

I seem to have players that people are discussing trading in, and I would hope I have a decent number of keepers (depending on whether they get injured). Maybe that makes it OK to only have 5 trades left

Something, something ... but I would have won the comp except for those injuries that only seemed to impact me
