NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 59 - Four ways to burn trades

Still in shock that all four of my origin players are backing up, so out of character for fantasy 2024.

i bet that shock turned into a happy smile we get so few ounces of good luck in this game it's always good when the chips fall our way for a change...my once of good luck was when carrigan was confirmed fit & raring to go.

another once of good luck was starling playing 80 mins this was totally unexpected.

Unexpected by Levi too. Apparently he was pissed he didn't get on and stormed up the tunnel at full time

I think the way forward is clear - don't even name Levi on the bench

As a Starling owner I hope he gets stood down!

Not sure what I was thinking not looping Weekes and looping Gray and Blore instead but it happened.

Luckily my grudge match against my workmate is safe as he has like 13 players.

Also put Weeks at 18 and Strange at 19. Awkward score from Weeks but I'll more than likely move Shoes up to start and make 2 trades. First is probably Aitken to Haas. Second is more than likely Talagi to Curran. Could trade Hands I guess instead but feels like Talagi has over achieved and should take his coin and run. Could keep him and go Hands to Randall instead I guess. Or hold the trade and take the 29 is still an option.

The answer from Ricky seems pretty suspect, interchanges look very standard and only used 6 lol

Yeah very sus. How can Ricky forget one of the best hookers in the comp.

is marzhew to wighton sideways does the fact marzhew has a bye rd 21 & wighton has no byes left reduce the sideways argument. cheers.

just been on the knights forum...apparently best will play & the backrow will be lucas & kpp edges & frizell lock...probably what we expected re lucas when he was to play lock re updated team lists.

Try dependent winger to DPP HLF/CTR that is now dominant kicker is not sideways

Seeing that 16 and 18 in Marzhew's last 5 games might be enough for me to pull the trigger. Wighton getting good Half base stats now. Wighton DPP helps reduce the sideways argument as well.

Haha, that was more succinct.

Yeah that's a decent trade to make.

I own both and plan on keeping Marzhew as an 18th/19th man, as the trade is more valuable to me than the points from upgrading him.

NRLPhysio saying Hammer backs up.

For those of us with the smallest big man in the game-Trai Fuller-time to move on pending 24 hour cut? If he is out of the 19 altogether I think I'll keep another week. But if staying on the bench would hate a 6 point cameo at the end of the game.

Have used three trades, latrell/ming/sharpe to watson/curran/starling

Ive got 17 green dots but strange in nprs

Matto to cleary seems to make a lot of sense, perhaps because lack of other options this week ?

Id get ponga but the bye next week is a bit annoying

630k bank though, matto to ponga this week and marzhew to cleary next could be a thing

Suppose haas could go large too, but owning both carrigan and haas is a bit of an issue when they have their bye

The next two ins would probably be my last two trades and use rest for injuries..

Yeah, I started to go down the rabbit hole (excuse the pun) replying to WL re how many trades left.

I'm going to play the long game on this and aim for 5 left (currently 10) for the last 3 Rounds. Counter productive if injuries dry up and restings don't happen, as sacrificing points now, but my best chance of making more ranks will be the last few Rounds.
