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

Jc has played 6 3 times. Lost to Rabbits and tigers. 1 lba 0 TAs. Then the 66-6 game against the Warroirs. For fantasy he is great. IMO not a great player for guys around him. Poor mans luai always stepping back into traffic. Needs to learn how to hold the ball in 2 hands.

disclaimer i havent seen any of those games, but AJ to 6 and JC to centre makes a lot of sense to me.

i have no idea what DES is going to do though. it could be any number of options. JC or AJ off the bench this week wouldn't be surprising.

i also dont think the chat re brimson saying 'des wont play him centre again' means anything, things change. that was a while ago (yes i realise he said it on the weekend but it was re an early season convo)

(C)ifita
(C)lath
(C)arrick
(C)alvin
(C)aitken

Surely fifita comes back with another 60 odd...
Could see garrick ripping up the knights
Aitken after a rest could go well too...
Plath to share mins with Osullivan on the bench?

Also thoughts on new team name GalvinHarris

I would assume its less about winning now and building for next year, so im sure we will see some combos

Putting over/under on Titans final 1hr team changes as 7 this week

I've got 10 before trades, which doesn't seem fair!  

Have 15 with 1 trade.

Loop between Penis and Iro.

My FOG team is not so good. No trades and down to 11 with the Hynes and Koula injuries.

I have the same as you, and have one trade left so I'm fielding 11 this week (trading Nicho to Ola), short two WFBs.

Hands
McInnes, Plath, Koloamatangi (C)
Fifita, Olakau'atu
Galvin, Wighton
Aitken, Iro
Marzhew

Plan for next week is Trell to DCE, S Hughes to Walsh (or someone else in that price range) and maybe also Hands to Starling.

I have 10 and had to use last 3 trades to get to 13

Fairly weak 13 too (Piakura, Hands, Gray...)

Think RTS plays FB with CNK out ?

14 green dots, Hands likely sitting this one out

ignore my overall rank though

I agree. JC at 6 is better for Fantasy owners than it is for the Titans

JC at 6 is also really bad for Fifita in fantasy, he hogs the ball like crazy (which is one reason I was looking to buy him)

I'll probably play 10 this week.

Was looking better for numbers a few weeks ago, but Twal, Hynes and Koula had other ideas.

Earlier this year they played tuapiki

Berry and pompey are great in the centres so it could go either way. Even some chat about RTS on the wing. Better than montoya

11 before trades but will use 3 and have Hands as surplus.

Des is like the nutty professor with his team changes. Only a couple of guys are assured of a regular starting position.

That would be my ideal lineup, RTS wing and Tuaupiki FB. Montoya is an absolute liability

I've got 13 green dots but can only play 11. Probably burn my last trade to make that 12 (but only If i decide I like the trade itself regardless of this week)

I have 12 playing, really weak team with Hands and a cashout. 800k ITB though.

Nice stash of cash, who are your 3 main targets in the next 2 weeks?

Hopefully Gray goes well these next two weeks. Hopefully don’t need to use him after 20
