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

Fully expecting no Grant and no Faalogo leaving me with 13

I just created a poll for how many everyone expects to play this round

That's cool but maybe leave it off a NRL Fantasy discussion site. We have to deal with every other place debating American politics on the internet, we don't need it here.

We discuss lots of off topic things here.

Twal -> Matto

Definition of sideways

As much as Nikora is appealing so is Carty and plays vs Knights so if I trade Lucas will wait until then. That let's me see Hynes score so will have idea if need cash down Lucas lower than Carty

on the knights forum they say it's just a 1 week out issue

I have had both, couldn't possibly do that.

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

Nothing beats starting the season with Schuster and holding him for 5 rounds

We have a winner.

Kiraz apparently playing fullback tonight

to be fair Carty being 50k more expensive makes a little more sense as he's a bit safer with his JS.

If he gets a run there I can see him keeping that spot. He will be an absolute menace

Tigs wrote:Kiraz apparently playing fullback tonight

Awesome, we saw glimpses of it earlier this season, was receiving the ball from kicks and then taking another hit up in each set. Should be a serious gun with both massive run meters and get more involved in attack. Could be a captaincy option even.

Agree, but to me the biggest difference is HIA risk. Matto is another HIA away from missing the rest of the regular season.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘I have to stand up’ — Wayne Bennett takes aim at refs, bunker in stunning NRL plea

Wayne Bennett has unloaded on the overall unfairness in the standard of NRL refereeing and the Bunker, while calling for a dramatic overhaul on punishment for foul play, including a major revamp of the sin bin and send-off rules.

The Dolphins super coach says his frustrations about the standard of officiating has been growing for some time.

But he decided to speak out publicly because he says the current system is not getting better -and is having too big an impact on too many games.

Well said Wayne exactly what I have been saying for years glad he agrees with me

shite down to 14 players i was sitting pretty with 16 but then carrigan & lucas happened & there's also the possibility grant could be rested...i might have to make a couple of trades but it's proving difficult with all the solid cheaper options like sharpe & howarth not really viable

Have you finally run out of money after paying the refs the last few weeks ?

Yeah but 1 week out then interchange and KPP and Frizell starting? If I didn't have 5 bye round players out already would be easy hold

Next minute Kiraz sub 50 incoming 

re the reffing it's the inconsistency that is annoying e.g. rts sin bin then same tackle in origin no sin bin
