NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 3 - Half the height we want

I asked this question before a week or so ago but are NRL fantasy smart enough to have 2 separate DPP sweeps pre R1 when Cobbo is probably the only Vegas player that should get DPP

I think we all know the answer to this

edit : Maybe Wighton? but if Cody is a non starter in Vegas I can see Jack running with just HLF for a while

Feels priced about what he will score. Guess DPP is nice tho.

I think the DPP is everything, although..

While he is appropriately priced, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities to see an increase in tackles and touches of the ball. If he can maintain his meter totals and continue to break the line/tackles playing off Walsh, I can see 5 points of value and potential keeper status.

Wingers generally get their metres from kick returns so he might struggle to get those metres still. He's going to have to also keep up his try scoring average which statistically doesn't happen as a centre over a winger.

He'll be suspended, unless they do it on the expectation of him in the centres

Struggle to see them doing two separate DPP's pre round 1 and therefore it does seem very likely that they inadvertently forget about the Vegas teams when reviewing the team lists.

I'd be ok with him getting DPP.

Souths have signed him to play CTR, this is very clear. It just feels like they just don't update the websites with positions in the offseason, so everyone has rolled over from their previous positions.

Works both way as guys like Wighton and Kiraz should be DPP but aren't, while Boyd and Hopgood are DPP but shouldn't be.

Nah nah nah mate. Someone said he's the next Inglis in the centres, so he's gonna hit a few big scores and I'll tear my team apart to get him, then he'll phone it in post-Origin with a dodgy knee and end up at $460k.

God I'm excited

Sea Eagles back-rower Josh Schuster won't travel to Las Vegas after the club made the decision to leave him in Australia as he battles a calf strain.

The 22-year-old withdrew from the opening week of the Pre-Season Challenge with the injury and won't be risked for the historic season-opener.

“The medical staff has said that due to ongoing tightness, that medically we’re not comfortable having him return to play and that we want to take a more conservative approach,'' coach Anthony Seibold said.

“We will leave him here [in Australia] hoping that he will return in the near future with the expectation that he will be playing again from round two.”

So we're looking at 3 weeks of Brown (Sipley suspension) and potentially only 1 week of Burbo starting.... YUCK.

Lets hope that they bring Schuster back slowly and start him from the bench upon his eventual return.

Even if Burbo is starting in week 2, it may only be 50 minutes.

Nrlfantasystats.com has Browns BE at 368, is this accurate or a typo?

Locking in RTS as my 'FUN' guy.

Is there value in his price? Not likely but the way he was breaking tackles and defending with force and appetite gives me hope that I can keep him around all year.

Between RTS and Cobbo, all my CTR issues might be solved (except neither are currently eligible)

YAY!!!!

Makes sense the Vegas teams ran out the stronger teams last week.

Pretty sure Dylan Napa is the only Rooster with NRL experience. Yileen Gordon is starting at prop for Souths!
