NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 53 - The Number of the Beast.

Need 2 trades to scrape 17 which includes KPP/Brailey bench and Cheese with fully loaded Roosters and Moses backing up

Talau/Fa'alogo for Sharpe/Hynes

If not Sharpe then anyone 385k or under

Gamble due back after Knights bye probably another warning sign on Pryce

So gutted I picked up Twal in RD 14  .
It made so much sense at the time and its turned into one of worst calls I've made all season.
Got one score out of him and now in limbo with 600k just sitting there.
Probably should just cut my losses but he'd be a handy RD19 number to have if he came back.
Arggh maybe my last two trades are Fa'alogo down to someone and Twal to Hynes and run the gauntlet of no trades till the extra 8, as Im
playing 13 this week if Patty and Haas dont back up, 12 if Grant is rested too.

Matto still not getting a starting spot with Kelma and Hoppy out doesn't give me great feelings that he'll ever get enough minutes to score well

18 green dots this week is a nice change from 10 last week. Now to try and figure out how the hell I can loop two different positions

I'm really torn on captaincy this week.

Candidates (ranked with zero confidence):

Terrell
SWalker
Galvin
Aitken
EKatoa
DYoung
Crichton
Watson
Haas
Grant
JMK


Suspect I'll chicken out and go Aitken, but interested in others' thoughts!

Murray cut price but who knows rotation. Then really just Koloamatangi and Tapine as options.

Tempted by KPP to Yeo (c) as one trade (297k ITB). But would have to see impact on Hynes/Cleary fund

Watson > Carrigan

I appreciates posts like this, have an upvote

Seriously considering trading Mikaele to Howarth. Mikaele is going nowhere, and Howarth showed on the weekend why he's been so highly rated. The fact that Meaney is out with the calf injury means that he's at least safe until his return (I would suspect it'll be R20 at the earliest but could be longer), and I think he's earned that spot in his own right anyway.

Worst case scenario he's a red dot in 21 compared to Mikaele's 15 points in 15 minutes, so not much of a downgrade while I get 100k out of the trade (will need it to upgrade other shittos) and a chance at a genuine player (if Howarth does keep the spot).

Aitken might be the popular pick, but I would go with Watson

Might need to have a look at putting together a team for State Of Origin Fantasy game 2 tonight

Not going to work for me but Bateman named in reserves could be a pretty handy replacement for Twal but of course Tigers play last. Might be ideal next week.

Bateman still only EDG

Why I've never considered him. Injury prone.
