NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 54 - Will the real Jake Sully please stand up

My worst trades were probably 
Chevy Stewart first game in R6 (Iro had negative BE and for some reason prioritised Chevy)
Turbo in R7 (needed WFB but weird buy given expected Origin)
Bateman in R9 (forced me to sell Strange and Salmon early on expectation he’d get MID DPP)

Selling Terrell May at high BE time backfired also

My worst trade week was R11 when I traded in both Matterson and Koula.

Matterson was a bit of bad luck. Koula had a chance of turning oit OK, I am not sure how predictable Lehi Hopoate coming in was - but I'm confident I could have made better choices

Browsing through my trades, my worst trade ins were probably JDB in Round 13, Chevy in Round 6 ,Lussick in Round 3 and Taylan May in Round 2. I have also have guys who got injured quickly like Joliffe and Chester but I don't really consider them mistakes since you can't predict injuries.

Terrell May probably should have been kept (but Plath who I traded him to hasn't been too bad) and Kini would be amazing to have kept but would have been a red dot for weeks. Overall I don't think my trades have been too bad this year compared to other years.

Rapana last week seems like a shocking trade but I needed WFB, thought he looked good the week before and mistakenly thought Raiders would play better vs Tigers. Expecting sub 20 this week if I'm lucky

Yeah Lehi getting the FB gig was a surprise

At the time, the prevailing view was Chevy had more job security.

A major catastrophe has been avoided by India defeating England in the T20 World Cup Semi final. Nobody is ready for that level of pain.

If Koula isn't injured, he scores better in that game and stays at fullback.

Haas out is a pain, don’t really have a plan for it either

It was impossible to predict the perfect storm for Terrell May. Leniu selected for Origin, Radley moved to edge, Watson injured. All left huge MID minutes. Without all these unexpected events, he gets far less minutes and it looks like a really bad move holding him for <30 minutes per game and low scoring.

Can we talk captains? For those that don't have or aren't getting Hynes/Yeo, who gets the armband.

This is the main sticking point for me this week and trying to get one of those two is forcing trades just to get a captain choice.

If I don't trade on in, choices for me are Plath, Aitken or Ted. I am now contemplating a KPP to Hughes trade though as Hughes should do well this week.

I have Aitken C. Likely trading in Yeo but not sure I can lock in with captain

I am just trading Hynes in and chucking the C on him.

Don't care about trying to maximise a few bucks by waiting for him to drop in price (may regret that later)

I think many will go with Aitken
or Watson for those that own him

Todd Payten confirms all Origin players to be rested (Cows Twitter, posted on Talking League Facebook)

My worst trade in by far was Lussick. He only lasted two rounds in the team
Worst trade out was Shughes after round 5. Was looking like a plodder and then pretty much as soon as I dropped him the price rises started. Other than that just a lot of bad injury luck like everyone else

Cotter has to go, unfortunately.

Will see if Ivan does likewise

Might just get Hynes after all.

Cotter and Shoes to Hynes and maybe Sharp. Could go Pryce and that leaves 0K.
