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

And the first red dot is confirmed

Some good choices available next week, not going to waste a trade on someone I'll be stuck with

Lucas out is unfortunate for the Knights, great hole runner and gives his best every week. It does mean that I can reverse my KPP to Hogarth trade - saves me a trade that I was really only going to bank the KPP cash and then would have $600k+ to upgrade someone to Hynes once he losses some more cash.

I might bank the trades again this week. What is this madness?!

I was happy to do 1 trade for 16. Lucas out means 15. Not sure if just take it. Only trade I'd do is Lucas to say Carty but might be best to keep Lucas

Hammy tightness isn't end of the world, likely rested as a precaution. However, are you going to keep him for the year? If you're not then flick him now, if you are then just keep him.

I think I need to trade in a captaincy option this week. 
Cotter out and maybe Hughes in. Doesn’t help my round 19 numbers at all, but should be a high floor until Munster returns?

Hughes has been one of my favourite trade ins. Got him in Round 6 and he's put up some really good scores for me. Likely my captain this week.

Gets the Mod God tick of approval.

Only the one bye as well between now and end of season is nice

I remember agonising over May at the time, but decided to keep faith given his potential to crack out a decent score irrespective of his minutes. For sure, owners got lucky with the two tries against the Broncos, but we also held patiently for the reward of big minutes in rounds 13 and 16. Not trading out a green dot also meant one extra trade which I imagine will come in handy in the next couple of weeks. I am glad I trusted my gut and held on.

Totally agree Jele. Most of us avoided Terrell at the start of the year due to uncertainty over minutes
When we all jumped on, the common refrain was that he would get low minutes at various points during the year, and you'd just have to take the highs with the lows

Then everyone panicked after a couple of low scores, and completely forgot the fact he can score well. It was entirely predictable that he would get some big scores again. Even the week most people traded him out JWH was named but pulled out early, so it was a safe bet he'd get a good role that week (the 2 tries being an admittedly lucky bonus)

Bar the last game with Munster where Hughes was out injured the next few he averaged 61 the previous 4 with Munster albeit not 100% Munster

Seems the safest trade in I can manage this week, albeit very little value left but don’t see myself trading him out. 

Too many question marks around other trade options

Whoa - glad I finally ditched that persona

New trades for the week

SJ ==> Hughes
Hopgood ==> Yeo

Still gives me a full team for 19/20 and exactly 0 bux in the bank

Gonna pass on Hynes and Clearly till to get them real cheap and they are a direct swap for someone like Galvin - or maybe even Wishart

"Kalyn's still on track for Round 20, that certainly hasn't been pushed out" - Adam O'Brien

"Any chance of an early return in R19?" - Reporter

"Way too early to be making that decision" - Adam O'Brien

So yes to Sharpe then? 3 weeks of 40s is surely achievable

i need a downgrade i suppose sharpe will do

Sounds like still 2-3 rounds and definitely not 4, based on the coaches update. Kalyn is saying 2.

May the Force be with Hynes tonight!

The problem is the ‘way to early’ part. Next week he could come out and say yep Round 19 return likely

Any news on Papy playing?
