NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 40 - This is Magic Round because it can make your trades disappear into thin air

I was happy to keep him in the EMG and use him next week for Armstrong and in round 13 if need be but I think I'd rather change trade plans and keep Strange over him.  Kris to Weeks is obvious but then can't do Salmon to Nikora, would have to be Matto.  Or skip Weeks and go Cole and worry about filling Armstrong next week.  Could still pick up Weeks next week but probably feels now or never.

Could go Russell and Nikora but that feels gross.

In a couple of weeks, it should be Campbell, Foran, Weaver.

Fifita looking as good as ever. High work rate and involved in attack.

Thanks mate, might have to lean that way.  Not sold on Weeks for some reason but good JS for now and low BE makes him the best cow of the week.  Matto could be anything, the only difference with Nikora you know he's locked in for 80 minutes, Matto who knows.  

After the Lane discussion I just had a look on the Eels forum too and yeah, so many of them can't stand Lane and want him dropped.  Means nothing but still interesting.  The few low minute bench games Matto has had is a concern but at the same time with Hoppo bound for Origin, it makes him a more appealing option again I suppose.

Oregon Kaufusi.

While he has scored tries in his past two games, I think the bigger reason to get him is that his minutes are way up, and even with Rudolf and Hamlin-Uele in the team, he's taken a starting spot for his own alongside Hazelton.

He's playing big minutes (57, 45, 60 in his last 3) and seems to be quite a dynamic player, busting tackles and offloading.

For only 555k and playing both 13 and 14, he's piqued my interest.

He's still definite value and I wrote him off after the game last week but I'm interested again.  The concern is more BA.  There's every bloody chance come Sunday Carty starts and Matto moves to the bench.  Bar one game this year, all of the games he's come off the bench have been under 40 minutes.
