NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 33 - Don't listen to Your Guts, they have Sludge for Brains

Got a fair bit - Cotter, Smithies, May (will need to go next week), Waddell, Salmon, Cheese.

With May and Liddle immediately on next week's chopping block, I've got some cash to spend. That's two trades already for next week. And that's pending the carnage that will surely come this weekend.

Happy days!

It's pretty bizarre.
I'm generally pretty happy just to let the scorers score people without question, but really felt like he was involved in a lot more than 30 tackles last night.

I compared the game to VSDT scoring (different stats people) and they're pretty close in most regards.
NRL registered 572 tackles in that game with 59 MT, VSDT 571 with 58 MT.

Here's players who made 20+ tackles;

	PLAYER	NRL TCK	VSDT TCK	NRL MT	VSDT MT
SOU	Cameron Murray	40	39	2	3
SOU	Michael Chee Kam	33	29	3	3
MEL	Josh King	31	31	0	0
MEL	Harry Grant	30	39	4	1
MEL	Trent Loiero	28	28	0	0
SOU	Jacob Host	26	26	2	1
SOU	Keaon Koloamatangi	25	28	4	3
SOU	Damien Cook	25	26	4	2
MEL	Cameron Munster	22	24	2	1
MEL	Eliesa Katoa	22	20	1	1
MEL	Shawn Blore	22	22	0	0
SOU	Siliva Havili	21	21	1	3
SOU	Jai Arrow	20	20	2	2

Tackles seems like something that shouldn't be particularly contentious, and the two sets of stats are mostly within 1 or 2 of each other... but 9 less tackles with 3 of those attributed to being missed - I do recall a couple of tackles where Grant pulled out and put his hands in the air while his team mate tried to affect a turnover (think Katoa got one successfully), but surely they don't count that as a MT?

Anyway, that's my little moan. I won't be emailing anyone because I'm not a cunt

TLDR: Yes, yes he did

Maybe he’s trying to keep Grant’s price down so he can pick him up next week?
