NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 49 - "Super" Sunday. Just super.

I wonder what % of teams have lined up as named this season

Milch covers why but it's usually copy and paste job by coaches. Like twal named and he was "expected" to play but hasn't trained yet this week

That makes KPP an easy sell.

Now, up to Watson, across to Plath, or down to Sharpe?

Leaning in that order, but fun to be able to make a call!

@Tigs I think he trained on Monday, just not today.

Cant find it, probably fake news

Its subgun PODs for me now. Everyone I trade in has to be with the view that they are never leaving.

Everyone always talks about it costing 2 trades to get a shitto in and out, but it's really only one extra trade. Assuming you're ditching the likes of Armstrong or Koula who were never keepers to a shitto then to a keeper that's only one more than you'd have used going shitto to keeper.

I understand it's one trade many of us can't afford, but the way everyone sells it as two trades I find a bit strange

I have 17 trades left

So 4 of my 21 are guaranteed 'keepers' - don't have enough trades to get rid of them even if I wanted to. Who those 4 keepers are are subject to change, but no escaping the fact that at least 4 of my team are guaranteed in for the long haul.

If I bring in Sharpe (or any cash cow), then that's now 5 other players who are keepers. and becomes 6 when I trade Sharpe out again. Yes, the first part is true whoever I bring in - but if I am bringing in someone who I expect to hold for the year then the trade in becomes the new 'keeper'. If I trade in someone that I expect to trade out again then I need 2 new 'keepers', 1 for the trade in and 1 for the trade out.



Or Alternatively, its not comparing bringing a cash cow in and out to just bringing someone in. Its comparing bringing a cash cow in and out to not making a trade at all.

It's some random on a forum. As non KPP owner and Lucas owner I'd love it to be true but not holding breath

It's only two trades if you've got those two trades.

If you're bringing in a shitto or cash down at this stage (and you're generally doing it to bank some cash) the likelihood of them leaving your team is negligible and depends entirely on your trade position at round 20. If you get lucky you can repeat the process and then it's two trades.

The reality is most of us can't upgrade the mid priced plodders we have clogging up our teams unless we make two trades.

I don't think it makes him an easy sell at all just yet.

Pretty easy, only takes a few button clicks

There are fairly strong concerns that Flegler will never come back. Nerve damage that may lead to medical retirement.

He’s not a keeper, he’s pricey in a position where many of us are holding guns.

Misses 2 of 3, or 3 of the next 7. And that’s if he keeps out very good competition.

Buh-bye, and thanks for your entertaining play style.

Who believes anything Benji says anyway

Maybe. I missed they have another bye in 20.

Whoa, slow down egghead - you expect SI to be able to keep up with that?

Atleast casualty ward have recognised Galvin as TBC now

Reading Perth will be the next team in the NRL and not PNG.

Will potentially be a combination of the Bears and the Jets. As a Perth resident lets bloody hope so!

I guess he is NSW Cup winger who was 4th or 5th in line at age 23(?), has fallen into a starting FB gig through injuries, got some positive attention from it but longer-term has limited prospects to break through as regular NRL player. So use the hype right now to get a steady UK superleague gig. Might end up with a Jai Field-type career.

Yeah seems to be steering that way.

Thing's are changing, reckon we are going to notice it down the line in years to come.
