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

Did anyone notice how I started avatar cosplaying MattNZ's wife using his computer, and his rank started sliding?

Coincidence?

I think not

Plath to Mahoney in one trade if you could? I don’t need to play Plath in my 17 this week. 4 trades left. My only hookers are Hands and Starling. Could also go Grant after waiting a week or so but have gone a bit cold on him

I dont mind the idea that Plath ups his involvement a bit more from DH with a couple of weeks now under his belt.. but i get why people punt him. probably slim chance it happens.

I think its Strange or Lemu. Maybe lemu offers a bit more consistency. With Fog back Strange might be more of a back seat (or a lower floor, but higher ceiling if raiders are going good)...

All things going to plan, Gray to Ponga next week.

A bit expensive but he’s my CTR cover. Not sure it’s a great reason to hold him but it is what it is

Also holding Plath for another week to give him a crack at redemption….has to prove himself from spot 18 though.

Which two to loop?

Howarth,Weekes,Plath

Hoping that Null moving to the left side might help in some way as well, it certainly doesn't hurt this week getting away from Fifita matchup.

Sorry if this has already been debated to death, but what's the consensus on Haas v Yeo?

With potentially one extra game my gut says Yeo is the better choice (also cheaper). What say the fanatics?

Depends on whether you prize gourmet sausage (Yeo) or regular sausage with high potential for sizzle (Haas)

Yeo for consistency, Haas for the upside

Assuming no injury, its going to be close. I think Yeo edges it in that he might get a rest, but Haas definitely misses a game.

He's lost about 8 points a game just in run metres by moving to hooker. That is a lot of "involvement" that is going to be hard to regain without someone else playing a lot of dummy half.

Plath going to at worst split hooker/middle when Donoghue comes back, and mostly mid once JMK returns in 25ish. Surely if it's Plath v Weekes as a trade out we'd be prioritising Weekes out first if position isn't an issue?

That lasted about 5 minutes...holding Weekes instead based on positional need

Yeo

Terrifies me that I have neither.

This makes sense...but with Garrick out next week just realised I can loop Weekes and Gray (who both seem to be the same type of player) for the WFB spot if I can't make the Ponga in trade straight away...gives me two cracks at scoring 29-34

Another vote for Yeo, for your exact reasons.

Hmmm Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream with chunks of walnuts and fudge  or plain vanilla?

I vote Haas

I've just gone Yeo because he's 50k cheaper.

Having said that, if money was truely no object - I don't think I'm there personally yet, but teams with better squad value or that are punting all trades this week might be - I'd go Haas.

In the long-run they average the same but get there different. Yeo is going to give you 60-65 by scoring around 60-65 every week. Haas will have some 50s but also some 75+ scores to get the same long-run average.

But until the end of season isn't a long run, so maybe with Haas you can luck the high side of the variance and you're ahead. And the downside if it goes the other way isn't massive.

tl;dr - Yeo because he's cheaper, but Haas is the upside play

api halves

As expected imo

Same issue but reluctant to sell 1 of my 4 MIDS that isn't Clark so ok to wait a week on Haas or Yeo
