NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 12 - No need for a restart

GreenSchist wrote:If BodySlam is a must trade in with Leniu getting 8 weeks; and Galvin is also a decent target if named to start, then at least one of these guys needs to go from my team (I’m also strongly considering Liddle).

Sitili
Rapana
Chan (if named to start)
Luki
Salmon
Hughes
Cotric (CtR/wfb cover)
Levi

Pretty sure Levi is the least valuable of those in that situation?

NB. I’m keen to wait a week on McInnes to see what his normal minutes will be.

Cotric could be the loser, with Kris coming back in at CTR and Hops moving to wing.

Not sure what people were expecting in picking Levi, with Starling on the bench. He gets 57 minutes straight, before going off with a minor injury and still not happy and want to trade him out.

Matt is spot on here.

Do people think Sezer will be out long term?

I wouldn't worry too much about working out which of Sullivan/Galvin will kick more if its only for a week anyway.
If you think Sezer won't get back into the team, then carry on

This all assumes Sezer is even missing come 4pm tomorrow

I'm happy to watch a Tigers game before putting any of them in my squad

The sun just launched Danny Levi back to Canberra......apparently he's even more annoying than me

Strange kicked decent distances in NRLCup and trials. It would be odd for a team not to ever use that capability, not least to reduce pressure on Fogarty.

Fogarty has had that role before at Titans. It seems the focus is on reducing pressure on the rookie.

Depends if it is injury related, or they see Sullivan as their half.

This is sound advice from the Wookie

Yeah Galvin is a no go for me. He will have to have a blinder to keep out the experienced half they signed to steer them around the park.

If you read I never said I was trading Hutcho out it’s Cotter. If you research he avg 46.6 at 58mins at lock at games over 50mins

Ok I have just done some more  research and in the 14 games last year where Fog kicked 350 metres or more he avg 52 fantasy points in 14 games. That was with 0.9 GK a game. Take that up 2.9 goals a game and you get an extra 4 points so that takes it up to around a 55-56 avg now you could minus a few points and you’ll still get around that 52 mark maybe 53. He’s a very good option to partner alongside Cleary.

I fcked up not taking him from the start but I can correct that early

Lol. Doesn't take much to change your mind does it.

"Thank you Rabbit"

Agreed. Strange should be getting at least some of the kicking, especially when there's a straight bash em up the middle set with a long kick on the end. But, he's a rookie and Sticky has history for trying to ease kids in and protecting them until they get used to the pace / intensity of NRL.
I remember a couple of post-match interviews when he said straight up that Savage wasn't ready for NRL.

Every year I burn trades and end up short for the run home playing the marathon approach this year finished at 11k no real major fires to put out will consider making 1 trade to bring tyrell may in but not 100% sure yet. most my team deserves one more chance if one is getting chopped its probs toups or piakura

Strange averaged just 29 km in 11 games at 6 in NSW Cup last season, when not next to Fog.

Him kicking in the trials is more likely that Weekes was even worse.

Plenty of players that have a huge % of the kicking as the dominant play maker:
SJ
Cleary
Hynes when he was next to Moylan
Chad
Reynolds
Burton next to Flanagan and Hutch
Moses
DCE

The Fog / Strange combination is clearly one of these. I wouldn't expect anything to change across the season, when they have a dominant kicker with a great long kicking game playing next to a Rookie who is finding his feet.

Did anyone know Tyrell May's scores during the Roosters post season finals matches during 2023

Something like 56 in 54 minutes and 86 in 56 minutes.

Hmm, on Sezer... He's general play kicking in the IG vid WT posted a few hrs ago.

X2 I wont be pushing anyone out of the way to rush in a Tigers half.

FYI here is the post that is the source of the Sezer out rumour
