NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 50 - Brandon Smith went to a restaurant, and ate all the food in the restaurant, and they had to close the restaurant

So much uncertainty is frustrating Brailey/Twal/Hoppy/KPP headache while still having Koula stinking it up too. Going to have to be all over the late mail this week dang it

You say that but you'll probably do exactly what I do and tune in to find out you missed kick off by about half an hour.....every time

TU: Fonua-Blake
TD: Watson

This. Especially cuz I'm always at work Saturday evenings. Am I hardcore enough to set alerts on my phone? No...maybe...?

I'm trading one of KPP and Galvin but no idea which one and probably need to decide tonight

I guess KPP makes the most sense

I'm going without Aitken and it makes me nervous. I hope he gets 55ish tops tonight.

Its a crap week for late mail on KPP being in the last game of the round.

Happy to keep him if he plays (probably keep him anyway) but if want to trade out all potential targets play a lot earlier

I've been contemplating exactly that question and my answer is 'probably not' for a myriad of reasons but primarily because I'm too chickenshit having used up my allotment of 'being burned by early trades' this season. Watson also strikes me as just the sort of busy little motherfucker who gets selected at 14 for the Blues in an attempt to have their very own Ben Hunt.

Yeah, that's the worry. I really think he will get picked for the Blues and just hope that he backs up.

Think if he is a late out it'll be a Shoes -> Sharpe trade to have 17 for me.

I wasn't going to use any trades but with news of KPP and Twal both in doubt I think I may have to make one and I have the same 2 outs as you, thinking I'm leaning more to Galvin out.

KPP has the bye next week so a few weeks off to get fit and he is a gun EDG. Galvin has been great but doesn't have the base of the other top tier HLF's and there's a chance we don't see him again.

Understand the Watson love but geez he's expensive and there's some great guns in that price range.

I'd have watson on the blues bench asap

Just checking because the HANDs fiasco last week

Greig, Lussick, Maketoa and Matterson not named for NSW Cup

Harper and Moretti are

Maybe Eels will line up as named this week?

Watson is a chance, but I think if Cameron Murray is fit he's more likely to be added to the squad.

Same here, may cost me in the end but I just think he's overpriced right now after a few outlier scores. No doubt he'll score well from here to the end but think I can get better value elsewhere

Tapine in this week for me at $100k less than other targets, and banking on him finishing strong

Yes he is, yes there is and he plays for....... The Roosters..... coached by Trent Robinson

He's looked really dynamic in the games I've watched and if you could guarantee those minutes/that role over the remainder of the season he's probably a steal but.....he may not be.

I'm probably going to regret not buying him this week but there ya go. I can field 17 this week (at this stage anyway) and would rather fill round 16 gaps in round 16 when the SOO sides have been selected and whatever carnage happens this round has worked itself out.

Have Mikaele and Clark in loops if one of either score well I'll do no trades otherwise Salmon to Sharpe last game. 10 trades left atm

I'm trading one of DBrown or Galvin to Watson this week. Feels like I should obviously trade Galvin, but I want to trade Brown

I'm looking at Watson as a contingency plan from Hopgood if he gets ruled out late (there is talk of this with a 5 day turnaround and existing back injury).

if Hopgood misses this week he misses 15 16 19 20 at least, and then very likely also R17, while Watson would only miss 19 and 23 (16 if he plays Origin but he'd most likely back up given the Roosters long turnarounds)

Hmm yeah could go either way.

Hard with KPP because you'd have to trust rumours and no word of what type of injury if there even is one. So maybe Galvin is the safer out in that sense.

But is there a world where Galvin is back next week? Very unlikely I guess, but I do reckon he'll be back in a couple after a rest.

If they both were to return rd17 then it's very equal in terms of schedule.

Galvin would likely be more useful for me in rd19.
