NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 59 - Four ways to burn trades

I have Weeks at 18 and Strange at 19.  Not sure what I do if Strange scores 50 and Weeks 10 though.  That's tomorrow's problem.  If both are shit I'll make 2 trades and run Shoes at 17.  I do think both can score well tonight though.

Can you loop it by position?

Probably, but problem is, no one I would really sit out. Garrick, Wighton, Ted, JC and Drinkwater in the back 5. I do have Galvin and Plath in the halves so could move Plath up and sit Fainu out I suppose if Strange goes bananas.

Fella on the Knights forum saying Gagai and Ponga 100% playing, Best 50/50. Lucas to centre if Best is out.

I own Carrigan and tbh, I actually would have preferred he rested this weekend. He will likely not play anywhere near 80 and will drop some cash and he was a guy I was looking to possibly turn into an elite player if injuries treated me well. I guess he will get his rest during the bye but I am still shocked he is taking the field.

Of all the Broncos lads I was expecting Patty to get a rest. Minutes could definitely be down

If you could field 17 before trades this week, would you hold or trade with this bunch?

Mahoney
AFB, Curran, May
Fifita, Crichton
Galvin, Hughes
Wighton, Garrick
Campbell, Tedesco, Weekes

Plath, Sipley, Lucas, Howarth

Sharpe, Hands, Iro, Aitken

With 8 trades and 468k ITB I think I do at least 1, getting rid of Aitken. Sharpe a probable trade too, but no hurry on him. Lucas, Sipley, Weekes, May with question marks in the coming weeks too.

I like Aitken and Sharpe to Koloamatangi and Ponga. Uses up most of my bank though. Hmm.

This is my overall team where I don't want to die wondering.

Didn't Patty play 80 in origin? What an absolute weapon.

minutes will be down for haas and patty when the broncos are up by 30 after 55 mins

I understand the word captain but what's an 18th man?

Have 18 green dots, so 18th misses out

I think they both still play solid minutes. They're playing, so what's the point of 10-15 less minutes? Unless they are absolutely blowing out there, you wouldn't think there would be a massive fluctuation. Pat probably plays 60-65 though.

kev asked if they might start pat from the bench and he said 'we'll think about about, but if pat wants to start, then he'll start'. so id say he's going to start.

Part of Best’s lip was kinda just hanging off his face, but assume if they can stop it bleeding he can play

Was surprised he didn’t have to go off and get it treated during the game as he had blood everywhere at different stages. But, Origin. And then someone else would’ve had to score.

Does the Knights forum know if Ponga will be goal kicking. I reckon he is not worth it if not

Broncos are getting into "must win" territory to make the top 8, so it makes sense for just about all of them to suit up

Was wavering for a brief minute and contemplating a Patty to Payne move but wiping the nervous sweat off my brow now

Was in the same boat

Is it inappropriate to want to bring in Herbie Farnworth because he is worth 666k. I just feel it is a kind of omen for a fantasy devil-supported rise up the rankings in the final weeks

Who has trade in Cleary this round ?

Have a rest Best

You would think they would be cautious with his whole hammy issue but I guess they are in must win territory also.

That's so ridiculous. Things don't work that way. My tea leaves this morning have him as an avoid.
