NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 20 - The Gang All Get Injured

I expect just keeping him keen and on notice that he needs to come out firing when named in the final 17. Played 60 minutes at prop last week with a high work rate.

Its just 3 games. but he's currently averaging higher than any previous year other than 2021 (which was a massive outlier year I would not expect to repeat)

With a half on the bench and burns there to cover Talakai who won't play 80, I can see mcinnes getting 80 and Hazelton 50.

I forgot Atkinson was a half, thought he was just some random bench mid. Even better then. Edge and a half on the bench, plus a young small minutes guy and two starting props who aren't known for big mins. 80 is a possibility for sure, but you'd have to think 65+ almost guaranteed.

Watch him still play 45 now.

Currently have 15 green dots, two red dots in my starting 13, Talau and Kini. Guess there's hope Talau plays, obviously not Kini.

Annoyingly Lucas not in the Knights 17 this week, although I couldn't of played him either. Probably just do Lucas - KPP, perhaps Cleary - Tedesco

Fantasy website working fast this week. Must be gearing up to add 2 extra trades this week.

Eels throwing up a bunch of options. I don't have any yet, but Dylbags, Gutho and now Talagi. Really need to limit it to 2 with a bye Rd 9, unless Talagi can make some fast cash. Means Lussick off the menu and see where Simmo's price is after the bye.

Really good point to keep in mind.
Low BE means he’s guaranteed to make money. If you take Strange (average 26 pts) as a potential floor, Blaize has 7 points or approx $100k of price rises. Low risk and probably a better option than Lussick at this point.

Dylbags or Gutho if you want fun potential.
Blaize > Lussick for cash gen

He's also dropped the ball over the line in the first round which would have been big points and a linebreak, TBs, TA called back as well. He will go boom soon.

I like how the top related post topic is (from 2020) Buy high Sell injured.
Seems pretty damn relevant to my team haha

Wong to May is done. My second trade has to be a FB. Cleary to Turbo or Kini to Campbell? Logic says go Campbell but points and captaincy options says Turbo!

Is Jaimin Jolliffe likely to be the biggest beneficiary of Tino being injured?

Priced at 37, he is at least 10 points underpriced if he can average over 40 minutes

There's Randall and Liu around as well who could pick up some slack, so he's no guarantee of being the guy, but potentially worth a look at

With Tino gone for the year, he's a longer term option than some of the other names being thrown around

If not for the last few minutes of last week I'd seriously consider it.

One I'm waiting to see - and someone may have posted it? - is Galvin (C). He's currently my VC, for whatever that is worth.

My halves this week are going to Strange and Galvin instead of Moses and Cleary.

I could loop Schuster and still get Strange and Galvin

Thats what I'm doing currently. Between him and Hopgood against the tigers.

I suggest cutting your losses on Schuster. Can't see him coming back immediately as 80 minute EDG, which is the role you started him in your team for.

Was named at lock in Cup last week, so looking like they may be bringing him back as bench MID eventually.

In that Titans side at the moment ... I am not sure Campbell is the answer - I think a DPP is better ... so I will go with Cobbo

17 "playing" after 2 trades, what a fun start to the year best of luck this weekend everyone!

Kinda tempted by all of the KPP love. Not really someone I had though of till now but looks like an option. One trade pretty much locked in with Wong to Galvin.

Second trade would be Chan to KPP/Talagi/Brown or just hope Hughes/Levi have a 30+ in them and maybe save a trade

Same here brother , I opted to play a fullback down and to get Galvin.

16 for me too. Either a wfb down or half, leaning towards wfb at this stage
