NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 58 - Coming Soon: The Grateful Eight!

Just a reminder for those playing State of Origin fantasy

Submit your teams people!

Has the Tedesco ship sailed or at this pointy end of the season is it worth bringing him in. I can see him going BOOM is his remaining 7 games but I am conscious that he has a bye in R23

Dylbags, Matto, Api

Assuming Api misses this week, maybe next and 26.

I’m getting rid of all three

Is Ponga bad news for Pryce? DPP is handy, particularly at the price point... But feel he may lose a lot of attacking stats given how much ball Ponga demands?

Can only dream

But yeah 12 months ago bailing on Dragons seemed shrewd. Now he’s taken a pay cut to work for a coach who got sacked immediately after they signed him (he wanted a Brad Arthur clause lol), a worse on field situation and is one of only a couple more dysfunctional than the Dragons at board level too. Might be his last origin game for awhile, tonight.

He’s elite and seems “perfect 13” material. Just whether you can afford as there is no “value” and you can’t get them all. Personally probably just going to have to watch him average 60 while not in my team

Flanno has his knockers, I rate him

Gamble probably take his spot this week or next week

Glad he's been given a shot at first grade but you can see why he's stayed in reserve grade for so long behind some other average halves.
Kid tries his heart out but he just isn't there. Hope he gets better and sticks around next season but I think he might have to develop in NSW cup for a bit.

Whoever downvoted the David Morrow post show some human decency and respect for a change whoever you are!

I'm considering turning him in to Randall. Don't like Matto's chances of getting many minutes then rest of the year if that's what they think of him

I would’ve said to you go for it until I heard that Joliffe is back soon. How the rotation works with Mofo, Joliffe, E. Clark, K. Haas etc I have no idea but it does make me somewhat concerned re Randall.

It’s Gamble in the 18 that’s the worry yes I own Pryce and I’m quite worried about it. Wouldn’t get him now if I didn’t already have him.

My position for the game tonight crook with the flu and a severe left ear infection!

Yes I’m in my Rabbitohs quilt before you ask….

AOB has tried every halves combo he can maybe he'll give Pryce and Gamble a go yet

Ponga and Pryce

The chances of Watson getting DPP next week is slim isn't it?

I might pick up Grant down the track if he looks to get back to his fantasy gun status, Randall could be a handy 18th man down the track

Yeah agree that one sounds better on paper doesn’t it, but can see a scenario where I hold Api and he keeps getting names in the extended reserves for the next 3 weeks but just isn’t quite right to play (Matterson mark 2).
I probably get better depth in scoring between the 2 players by going the Starling route, but a big benefit of going Randall is the depth of positional coverage with his & Hands DPP which could come in very handy (no pun intended) later in the season with a lack of trades remaining. Plus if Randall holds the 13 shirt there’s a good chance he’s the top scoring hooker between now and the end of the season, just the Joliffe return which could cause issues but he’s looked good enough to hold the shirt.

The TU/TD was pretty convincing towards Starling though so maybe should stop overthinking it!
