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

I agree, perfect #14. Haumole and Young out for Murray and Watson.

I’ve had another bub and been in the NICU most of the week (she’s fine) so out of the loop knights wise and NRL wise. My team is cooked and I’ve max traded to field less than a full team the last month

Can someone give me the hard and fast of who’s hot and who’s not

Looks like brailey a trade? Minutes or has a niggle come out I don’t know about?
Smith sanction likely long and Watson a clear in? Or everyone just getting on Watson regardless?
Word on sharpe keeping his spot? Ponga listed 22 but his injury sucks to rehab from a Physio point of view and often has setbacks so I’ll get on if he’s got it off Armstrong now

Also is matterson still alive? Any updates or are they just going to name him and not pick him each week for the rest of time?

I've decided to wait a week just in case Origin call up but I'm going without Aitken as have enough edges and loads of centres and of Watson back from injury ok playing 80 mins I'd much rather get Watson for same price as Aitken

If anyone needs a bum steer I am sure Matt can help them out. Not sure Baz can afford his stocks to drop any further.

Edit: 2-1 bitch

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

Harper and Moretti are

Maybe Eels will line up as named this week?

Matterson either has ongoing HIA issues, or plays first grade, doubt he gets named in cup.

His ability to play in the backline should open up Burton playing CTR instead of 14.

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.

Also if Hynes misses Origin you are likely going to want him for RD19, would that make Galvin less needed.

The more I've thought about it I think I might pull the trigger and cash Galvin out. The money it leaves gives me a direct route to get Hynes in 1 trade when the time is right.

I will pull the trigger on the Galvin trade if Twal doesn't play.

Lord of the Byes results are finally up:

Apologies for the lateness, due to life reasons I'm probably going to struggle to get these done early for most of the year. Now to figure out who to trade!

Don't think the Maroons have used a 80min hooker since CS9 retired.

asking for a friend

Watson seems like the shiny new toy but there is a multitude of ways that he stops being a keeper option

1) BSmith comes back with his tail between his legs and gets the starting hooker back
2) Radley to edge experiment ends and he goes back to 80 minute lock
3) One of the halves go down injured meaning either Watson or Sandon move
4) Robbo does Robbo things

Do you really want to pay 780k for someone who could be in a job share in 2 weeks time when you could have a Carrigan/AFB for the same price or Haas for a little more?

Agree he carries some risk others don’t.

Tohu Harris at 75k cheaper. I reckon they gave him a post injury easy return, there’s no way Dylan Walker is a threat to him long term

Was considering Tohu, kind of keen.

But struggling with trades and injuries every week as it is, is Tohu really the gun to turn to..

McLean out again for Cows with same calf injury.
