NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 12 - No need for a restart

Updated team tracker with detailed breakdown on my week for anyone interested

Aitken may come in to play with the Null injury. Not sure he's worth the money, though.

Phins are truly in a spot of bother.

Today really showed that the aging pack needs to be transitioned out. Wallace, although part of that aging pack, needs to be in the side. Also need to blood forwards like Keeley and Teague some more - they wouldn't do any worse than what we saw today.

Decision needs to be made on SOS. He needs to be moved on promptly. Not that he could do much today anyway, but he just does not demand anything. Actually, I take that back, when he does demand the ball he does this woeful up and under long kick with seemingly zero power. Very frustrating option. Surely you'd just look to bring Katoa and Burns in at some point.

Tesi Niu again showed why he is not NRL standard. Woeful defence. Truly shocking. But then again the whole team was like that today.

Also, why do the Phins look so damn unfit? Guessing it's the aging roster. It's going to be a long season.

694 @ 52k - let the trading begin!

Same my worst start too. Starting at 68k. I mean it’s all congested anyway so no big deal

Looking though the rankings, it’s pretty telling that the top scorers seem to be the ones that loaded up on Vegas players.

The big problem is while I didn't do great, though escaped a little bit of the carnage, there's not a single cow or anything I'm rushing to trade in. Can't remember a year like this

709 for me rank 37k

Not a rage trade. His role doesn't look any different to last year and May looks like a must have.

Hahaha RIP sweet prince

You do realise other clubs are circling May and Roosters need to keep his price down as much as they can. I’m not sure he’s must have he will get 40 maybe 45mins but he won’t be getting the 54 he got last week and their edges won’t play that smaller mins again.

Ah I get it now. Missed it yesterday. They only just got you recently because was leading the FOG not long ago.

Are you suggesting Roosters will play him less just to lower interest from other clubs? Even if it hurts their own chances? Thats mad bro. I mean the other stuff you said about the edges minutes makes sense but that first part…

I was the one who told Jamie this morning and joined the groups to bring it to attention
Its pretty funny really, I even had 600k in the bank spare

If i wanted to be dodgy I would have just kept quiet and noone would be the wiser after a few rounds of trading

Last pick McIntyre in EMG one of my best cows lol

Yeah that makes little sense, after all everyone knows The Roosters steal from the Souths charity bins to pay their players off the books. Why would they need to lower the fee.

We'll see I guess. If I don't get him this week, it may not be ever. I missed too many last year. Cotter is a 45 avge imo. May is a gun. ppm monster. Money maker. Cotter?

Looks like you’ve still got the points but a half full team. I guess fill it with Tigers and start max trading then out? Could be fun

I decided not to go there, but nail on the head. Ridiculous call.

Hell it might keep the points for this round and then let you trade basically a fresh team in next round for no trades

Thats a fair point, but it has my score as 0 because removing my captain makes it invalid
So I did this and now Koro and Ipap are locked out
