NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 60 - Take your downdates on the Chin

Yeah I'm jumping off a sinking ship this week, too.

Might just bring myself in for the run home, but have been avoiding it so I don't jinx the run.

There used to be a WAGs thread every season for people's second teams. Not sure if there was one this year. Most people just play one team and ride the highs and lows, and it can irk some people if someone just switches to whichever of their teams is ranked higher. Kind of undermines the competitiveness of the FOG and such. I don't care though as I'm still ranked higher

I get it. My justification was that this being my first full year I can learn a lot more by running two seperate teams to try and catch up on people who have been playing for years in terms of my game knowledge.

Sounds like insider trading to me

All good mate, just a heads up that it may bother some and you probably weren't aware of the other thread or why it existed. Plenty of people do have second teams, probably to satisfy the "can't have them all" itch, but people are flat-out giving a damn about someone's main team, let alone their second one

It's a wildcard spot, reckon I should bring you in instead?

Would like to get Angus even with bye coming up but worried about Roosters players getting rested later on

If you want a WAG team, just play Autofill. Last year got both my teams onto YAFFS (82nd and 600s) and this year making a charge to do the same

Or if Hosking is bench again hold fire and if something happens to Whitehead with injury then trade Plath or S. Fainu if you have the bank in a couple of weeks. I am leaning to holding Plath as I think he plays some lock when Donoghue is back next week round 22 I think he will play some hooker mins off the bench.

My thing is whether I play S. Fainu or Plath as 17th man this week.

I’ll be trading out Moale too this week will have to think about more but might get Starling there is one other I’m thinking about besides him too. Would leave me 4 trades left for the last 6 rounds which I’m sure won’t be enough.

rhinoceroo is the King of WAGS teams.

So I had another green arrow which was positive scored a 862 for the round. I wish I’d put the C on Cleary over Fifita. My rank went up from 5408 to 5068. We will stick at it. Teddy, Drinky, Plath, S. Fainu somewhat underwhelming. Shoes came in use with me having had 3 on the bye I was stoked with his 35. New recruit Tago with the 16 point update from 20 to 36 was much better reading this morning.

Good thing for me is on run home

Knights: 0
Manly: 1
Rorters: 1
Cowboys: 1
Broncos: 1
Tigers 2:
Wahs: 0

I’ve been able to plan well so I do not have many on byes.

I was at 17.3k rank at round 10 now 5068 you have to be like 5-6k at round 12 I feel to have a shot at top 1000 going into origin it’s too hard from like 16-17k.

Early this year I had 3 of a team that had an early bye you can’t do it as carnage hits and you then play with 15 like I did round 4, cost me 90 points same as a couple of others I cost myself 150 points by owning 3 from a team who had byes.

See if I didn’t do that I’m sitting at 3k right now with a chance at top 1500-2000.

Big lesson to learn.

But happy that I’ve kept on fighting and clawing my way back.

This weeks results for Fantasy Fantasy are posted and they can be found over here as per usual


The final transfer window opens this round and you have until kick-off in the Warriors vs Tigers match on Friday to get your trades in

S. Hughes only round 1 guy I still have I’m holding all the way

McInnes, Kiraz and Piakura for me. At this point looks like Piakura will be with me until the end.

WAS. Haven't bothered running one seriously since. But that was some year, WAG team 7th and my main team came a disappointing 50-ish.

This year I'm trundling along around 5k. Should have done a WAGs team.

LB's team is starting to look juicy

I love Hosking, but I can't really see him getting rhe starting gig on the EDG over Whitehead or Young. And 50-60 minute Hosking is ok, but probably not worth the trade

Excited to have made it through to the next round in the Eliminator

Hahaha. I also defeated the bye

Will update tomorrow, or if first day back at work is too brutal, it’ll be Wednesday

I had a WAG team for round one but unfortunately it was a little controversial and broke fantasy

It wasn’t intentional to call you out OB just got confused when I saw you post that while I was looking at our league 10 table
Haven’t paid much attention to it but it’s going to be a tight battle to make the 8 so will be fun to see what happens there
