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

I find it surprising how poorly Kennedy scores. He always looks very good in terms of eye test - he is a great player IRL.

Probably the biggest gap between IRL performance and fantasy scores currently

I'm probably just playing 15 rather than trade Lucas

I suppose whatever missteps happen this week can be sorted in 19? I hope

I seriously thought about binning Grant but it’s hard when you’ve held all season and it’s selling low

Sold Campbell instead. Four trades for two scores on that guy. No lessons learned, might buy him a 3rd time if he’s actually back R19

Think I'll hold off altogether until Sharks show some signs of being a decent team again

I think people underestimate Mulitalo having Iro next to him as opposed to Talakai

Pretty sure Talakai was top for try assists for CTRs last year and Iro only with 3 this season

People talking about binning Grant and/or Hynes. Not sure if shitposting or not . But everyone with trades left will be bringing them i over the next few weeks .

Why deliberately rid yourself of good scorers

I know it’s a rough season but 0 isn’t a good score.

I do get what your saying but it’s annoying

I hope that any niggle for Hynes is short-term and he returns to being the primary kicking

I just can't win with my captain choices lately

Grant crossed my mind very briefly but it seems a waste to keep him this long then to chuck him now after already dealing with his missed games he has had already.

Really stoked about King tbh, he was turning into a bit of a headache with his lower scores but at least that headache can go away for a week or 2 at least.

Will have nothing going for them if they make the finals

Getting by on the regular season by having good defense and being fitter than most other teams.

Zero creativity with ball in hand outside of passing it to Kikau.

That's the Keiran Foran award, and it probably still goes to Keiran Foran.

Honourable mentions to Moses Leota and Stephen Crichton.

Who is at the opposite end of this spectrum. Big scorer, terrible player.

Hynes?

I'd say Jayden Campbell is not as good as his scores suggest

Jamal Fogarty also gets massive fantasy scores because he can kick a ball and make a few tackles

Willison the other option, down to 16 but can trade Randall now HOK DPP usefulness exhausted.

Did you pull the trigger on Matto?

Euan Aitken is a solid player, but nobody could claim he's one of the top backrowers in the NRL, let alone the best centre.

Reckon Nicho's issues are btw the ears, not so much physical.

Currently sitting with Willison. I think can’t really afford more R20 red dots. Have 3 on bye (Brown, Iro, Hands) and Sharpe probably out of team 

Need to make judgement of whether I think Fifita is back in Origin as if he misses out I don’t need R19 player

Lemuelu also option

Soni Luke averaging 54  

Didn't Hynes big run of scores come with Trindall out. With Trindall he's prob a 50 point scorer unless he gets some attacking stats.
I'll look at bringing him in after his rd 20 bye. Hopefully he's alot cheaper then.
I wouldn't worry if you went early on Hynes though. Still a final 17 player

Foran scoring well. 68 last week. If he is paired with Brimson instead of Campbell going forward he will do really well.

I think people are pretty harsh about Nicho Hynes.
He hasn't even played 100 NRL games yet, and has only played 50 odd at halfback.

As a point of comparison; Mitch Moses is well north of 200 games and really had only come into his own in the last 3? years

It's actually pretty impressive that he's managed to press for higher honors with so few first grade games at halfback.
No doubt he still has some learnings and growth ahead of him, but going very well by most measures I would've thought
