NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 32 - Let's get ready to rumble

Held JC last week due to not needing to trade him to have 17, along with a mix of wanting to get others out and not having a great trade out target.

Due back Round 11, so only misses 3 more games on that timeline, and at some point I should probably consider banking a trade... Anybody else holding onto him?

Think Aitken has done enough to keep his spot though tbh.

I also see Teague up to 18th man. Teague played with Katoa and from all reports is just taking a bit more time to grow in to his body. Once he does that he's a great prospect.

I assume once Null is 100% good to go then he will shift in to the 17. Whether he comes off the bench or not is the question. I'd almost guess that Null could come off the bench to give old man Kaufusi a spell as Phins are looking to blood the future.

Sticking solid with SJ

I couldn't agree more. I might have put Moses ahead, but ever since he got injured, I've pencilled Hynes in for origin. The chance is greater than zero. I'd put the chance as greater than 50%.

I need a cheapie guys have to trade out Flanagan out of the options I’m looking at Jye Gray or Atkinson!

Who do you guys rather out of the 2?

If Trindall is positive for cocaine how seriously will the NRL take it? If it’s 6 weeks out then Atkinson is a buy.

Gray is the other option and that I back the talent. I do think we need his energy in the side and he’s is the future he’s a good player. Issue as we know what happens with Trell.

Teague will be an interesting one in a year or two, another one in the mould of Hopgood. Once he's grown into his body some more, he'll be a fantasy gun as long as he can get the minutes somewhere (may be hard with Gilbert to come back and Plath also capable of big minutes at lock)

The future is bright at Redcliffe, they've got some serious talent coming through once the old boys retire.

I imagine they also still have plenty of cap left to bring in one or two more stars. Given their roster last year I imagine they front-loaded their bigger contracts even to get to minimum cap, so that could pay dividends in 25/26 too.

If you are such a Souths fan Rabbit21, you need a Souths player in your team otherwise people may consider you a fake fan

I've heard he's not actually a Souths fan. Roosters deep op.

Depending on the results of Trindall's drug test, and what penalty the Nrl decides upon, he could possibly be stood down until his next court appearance 17/5 .

Tigs wrote:Fellow Gutho owners.... What's the play this round... Hold or Trade?

Tough one man. He's got a bye next week, so even if we hold and hope he does better, even if he plods to a mid 40's he's still likely a trade given Moses is only a month away and he's not the Gutho we thought we bought that played the tigers.

Who does he come tho? Walsh?

Slightly surprised people are jumping on Atkinson so early

Hynes is going to be the main man. Sure he might put up Strange scores in which case can grab him next week, he could also put up a 20 point average. What's the harm in waiting a week?

Yeah, if this was the first game of the year I'd take a punt, but with so many precarious cows waiting a week makes very good sense.

Money is so tight this year I feel like taking risks for a few more dollars

Fantasy is supposed to be an escape from reality

BE over 20 with 8 score. No point rushing him in

Glad someone mentioned this. I'm deciding between AFB & Tohu atm. Addin went huge last year with the higher mins and looks like he's set for them for awhile again.
