NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 63 - I guess I'll play grown up

Tigs wrote:Penrith Panthers can provide an update on halfback Nathan Cleary, who sustained a shoulder injury during Thursday night’s match against the Storm.

Scans today confirmed that Nathan experienced a recurrence of the shoulder instability he had earlier in the year.

The scans indicate that he has avoided immediate surgery. The positive outcome is that the club plans to have Nathan available for the NRL Finals.

Sounds like we are unlikely to see him in the regular season again then.

Thanks, Tigs!

the cleary score/injury would be interesting in sc & vsdt where you can loop captaincy...i wonder if the majority just put the c on cleary thinking he's going to haul regardless of the opposition & he would've hauled if not injured or they countered on the 1% chance he'd get injured/not score so well so put the vc on him.
i'm on the latter & currently on both platforms i have tedesco (c)...i've been caught out in the past with cleary not vc'ing him because i thought he always produces so no point using the captaincy loop

With Cleary a trade and 3 left I suppose I should hold trades and not do Fog to Turbo. I have loads of halves. Must win H2H and Fog to Turbo could be big points swing

Chin a trade then. With the injury persistent, you can't help but to think we may not see him until the week before the GF. Ivan may rest him and bank on the team getting through the first week of finals Chinless to give him that extra week.

Avoided in SC but forgot to change it vsdt.

1 have 1 trade left so will probably get a mid gun...the good thing about cleary is you can buy anyone

Did we ever get any conformation of how long Matterson will be out for?

Turn matto and cleary into two solid guns next week

I have both and one trade left, will wait until next week.

I've got 3 trades left. Was planning issako to Manu. With the cleary news should I hold fire or just say fck it.

That's a big upgrade and you can trade Cleary to whoever next week. Do it.

Just hope that your team gets through in.... One Piece.

In the draft final that matters (League 1) I've jumped out to 175-0 lead. Suspect Saj might come home with the wind behind him though. Had a closer look at my team and only 4 starters were players I drafted. That seems bad. But also shows you can work some magic with RFAs

Expecting Hynes & Haas to be named next week.

I caught Wade Egan out just in time, which is good because i didn't have emergency hooker. Good thing I got Joliffe from RFAs with Matterson out too. Looks like it will be close. Good luck!

Wow, no Honeysett?!

Who?

I've got Matterson out and 1 trade left. Cleary looks to be out for the season.

My issue is that I only have three in MID and no back up, so I'll need to bring a MID in anyway.
I want to wait a week in case anything else happens or we get better news on Matterson but if one of my mids drops out after Matterson locks out then I will have to trade a green dot for a MID to get 17 on the park

TU: Bring in Murray for Matterson now, you'll be doing it next week anyway.
TD: Play safe and wait a week. You will be fine this week.

I’d play it safe. Protects against worst case that Murray gets injured/suspended this week.

Best mid under $700 for this week?

Narrowed it to Plath v Murray.

Plath seems locked in for 80, and I imagine he’s fun to watch when you have him in your team. Leaning that way (and Yaffs data says hookers and locks go big against the dogs)

T/U: Murray
T/D: Plath
