NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 57 - What's a trade ?

My annoyance with Haumole is I have Fifita and KPP. Haumole clear upgrade on KPP but can’t loop them.

If I avoid, by time I upgrade someone in R20/21 it’s a lot closer to R22 bye and his price probably corrected upwards by then

Need to get rid of Twal this week

any thoughts on Matterson in the current eels shit fight?

I'm gun-shy on the fucker, but can see the attraction in a punt

I'm not 100% sold but in the current situation there surely he gets decent minutes, dual is a plus also

Katoa seems to be pretty try dependent to be honest. He gets a decent amount of 50s and 60s but can throw up a 30s score here and there. I was happy when I purchased him and will likely stick with him but Ola could have more upside.

Fair points, I mostly prefer Ekat because I also plan to get DCE and don't want to be too reliant on one attacking edge (and also the R22 bye).

Also I just like my Storm players, "buy guys you like to watch" and all that.

According to Nrl physio, Arrow plays tomorrow night , with surgery Friday.

I took the punt last week, did alright so far.

It’s the MID dual the tie breaker for me + no more byes.

How long are we expecting Guymer to hold his position for?

I wouldn't recommend getting Matto, priced at 40, will probably score mid 40s, and is an injury/HIA risk

At least till round 22 when Kelma is back, but he may stick around in the middle rotation on effort with Hopgood & JrPaulo sidelined for most of the season

Thinking Weekes scoring might improve with Fogarty back, and he probably has better JS than Wishart.

Weekes main avenues for points are general play kicking, or scoring length of the field tries.

Fogarty sure ain't improving his scores in the former

Whoops meant to upvote, not downvote

Yeah I think his comment could be translated to “I hope weekend scoring improves when fog is back” haha.

Unless your desperately short this week I think he’s worth a wait to see if he’s there in 21

It’s quite obvious that length of the field tries = base stats for Weekes

Thanks both. Yeah looking at Blore and KPP to Guymer and Koloa (c) this week. Will give me 13 and a great Captain. Also a good cash out whilst ridding of two middling Edges I have enough of.

TLDR: Nothing concrete although AJ Brimson said on Matt Johns show that Des told him he won't play centre again

HASLER’S BIG FULLBACK DECISION


The Titans and coach Des Hasler have a good problem on their hands, with three talented fullbacks vying for playing time.

However, while a good problem, attempting to fit the trio of Keano Kini, AJ Brimson and Jayden Campbell into the same lineup must be giving Hasler headaches.

With Brimson and Campbell missing time at points of the season with injury, Kini has taken his opportunity at fullback with both hands and outside of David Fifita, has probably been the Titans’ best player over the past six weeks.

Campbell has played some five-eighth with Kini at fullback this season but the three have them have yet to share the field in 2024.

Brimson has been missing since Round 10 with a groin injury but has been named as 18th man for this weekend’s clash against Parramatta, indicating he’s close to a return and may even come into the side against the Eels considering he was so close to playing last weekend against Cronulla.

It’s going to be interesting to see where Hasler puts Brimson if he keeps Kini at fullback. Or he drops Kini completely, although that’s hard to envisage happening.


What is also hard to envisage is Hasler putting Brimson back in the centres, which is where he started the season to accommodate Campbell at fullback.

Speaking on the Sunday Night with Matty Johns show, Brimson revealed that Hasler told him he wouldn’t play him in the centres again.

Brimson also admitted that fullback is his preferred position. He was a terrific at fullback in a handful of games before succumbing to injury.

“At the moment obviously Keano is playing really well,” Brimson said on Sunday Night with Matty Johns.

“My favourite position is fullback, that’s where I play my best footy.

“If me and Jayden are back this week then Des will have that discussion with us.


“I started the year in the centres but Des told me after that he didn’t want to play me in the centres anymore.

“I play my best footy at fullback and I am a fullback but I’m happy to play six as well.”

There’s no doubt that the Titans have the best chance of winning games if all three are in the 17 each week, but where will they all play? We’ll find out soon enough.

Fermor may have the ctr spot for the remainder of the season
