NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 52 - Zero trade gang, rise up!

Chewie wrote:A bit of Thursday trivia
The Del Bosque meme originated from the Spain vs the Netherlands soccer game at the 2014 World Cup.
Spain had beaten the Dutch in the 2010 world cup final, and the Dutch were out for revenge. They ended up beating Spain 5-1, with Robin Van Persie scoring his memorable diving header
Del Bosque's reaction was recorded after the Dutch scored their 3rd goal in the 64th minute.

Yeah, you're right. Croker still listed as indefinite, but have seen articles saying he is back with non-contact training this week, with a view towards resuming the contact work next week.

Dolphins wanted him and he knocked them back.

Titans losses actually correlate to him starting, so even though he's a good fantasy player, maybe he's actually just bad for that teams chemistry. I mean we've all complained about him not feeding the ball to Fifi enough at some stage or another.

My thoughts:

Is this dumb if I only have Angus and Fifita as gun edges? If I do the trade this week I'd be looking to get another gun edges in for someone else I'm Rd20.

Got 7 trades left

Or have the moved past him entirely and run Cotter at edge.

Need to yin when everyone yangs with the final 8 trades?

Give these guys some thought.
PODish potential or great overlooked current form;

- Tohu Harris - top target ready to return to big minutes
- Dylan Edwards - Blues prefer him over Teddy and you prob should too. Scoring even without Cleary
- AJ Brimson - watch for his return. Was averaging 60 before he left and Kini… KINI! has been recording even higher filling in
- DCE - fallen gun. Not flying but Origin could be the kick he needs. Still averages 50 when average
- Val Holmes - 160k cheaper than Euan Aitken
- Ponga and/or Papy - the average team just won’t have the trades to prioritise and fit them in. Look their way with your Wishart/Fletcher/Weekes etc money or use 2 moves an finally upgrade that no future Atkinson

Watchlist: Liam Henry and Luke Garner - if either of these score a minutes role at any point they are a buy. Never know with this year’s injuries and both are better than Sorensen who has a spot (for now)

When is Tommy T back.

A back 3 of Ponga, Tommy and Papy will keep things interesting
