Tom Trbojevic is back in the No.1 jersey and suddenly very relevant in Fantasy once again, while there's potential value pickups among those called in to fill the void for a couple of injured stars.

Latest injury news and returns

Here's all of the big team news you need for the third and final big bye round of 2024.

NRL Fantasy teams analysis: Round 19

Dolphins v Rabbitohs, Thursday at Kayo Stadium

Dolphins: With Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow in camp with the Maroons, Trai Fuller gets his eighth run of the year and will be the second-best WFB playing in Round 19, with a per game average of 53.3. Max Plath (HLF/MID, $673k) moves from lock to hooker in the absence of Jeremy Marshall-King. While he might lose a few run metre stats, defensively he should remain relatively the same and stay a 50-point player. $461k MID Tevita Pangai junior gets a start after averaging 26.5 in his two games since returning to the NRL.

Rabbitohs: New fullback Jye Gray (HLF/WFB, $330k) is a cheap DPP option who should be the locked in starter for South Sydney until Latrell Mitchell returns from injury in 4-6 weeks. Keaon Koloamatangi shapes as one of the buys of the round on the back of his emergence as an elite scorer now he's playing at lock, with his last five game average of 68.2 easily outdoing his $756k price tag, while he also has the benefit of covering both EDG and MID.

Sharks v Wests Tigers, Friday at PointsBet Stadium

Sharks: Nicho Hynes is out for the remainder of the regular season and is an immediate sell, with Daniel Atkinson coming back into the halves to partner Braydon Trindall. If you're looking to pick up either of those two in Hynes' absence, Trindall looks the better value at just $24k more, with the majority of the general play kicking and goalkicking likely to go his way. Cam McInnes is still a little underpriced at $716k and will be a MID keeper for the remainder of the season.

Wests Tigers: If you've still got Lachlan Galvin in your side then he's a keeper for the rest of the season, having now long gone past being a mere cash cow to stand up as a solid top 10 HLF with a 51.2 season average. After a brief resurgence which had him producing keeper numbers a few weeks ago, Stefano Utoikamanu (MID, $657k) has averaged 33.5 in his past two games and should be upgraded if you're able to.

Titans v Eels, Saturday at Cbus Super Stadium

Titans: With Jayden Campbell returning from injury in the halves and Keano Kini keeping the fullback role, the Gold Coast possess the two top scoring WFBs by average who are available this week. If you own any other Titans backline players then it'll be a good idea to keep an eye on late mail, with AJ Brimson listed as 18th man and a chance to come into the 17. David Fifita (EDG, $847k) will be a popular captaincy choice this week in the absence of most of the Fantasy big guns.

Eels: After announcing the 'Carty Party' was open for business again last week, it's now on pause, with Bryce Cartwright bumped back to the bench on the back of a 40 in Round 18. Blaize Talagi has scored a try in each of his past seven games, including a double a fortnight ago, and for however long he continues to do that he's going to be a more than serviceable option at CTR or WFB. Charlie Guymer (EDG, $240k) starts at lock and is a good cash-down option for those needing to free up some cash while not losing a green dot.

Broncos v Dragons, Saturday at Suncorp Stadium

Broncos: EDG Jordan Riki returns from suspension and is Brisbane's top available scorer this week by average, with those above him all on Origin duty or out injured. The big Bronco of interest remains Xavier Willison, with the $464k MID/EDG sitting in over a quarter of all teams and set to make a nice chunk of money again with a break even of 20 ahead of Round 19. Popular early-season pick up Brendan Piakura showed glimpses of Fantasy potential in recent weeks but crashed back down to earth with a 12 in Round 18.

Dragons: Jaydn Su'A is sitting right on the edge of keeper territory and is a nice cash-down option this week at $593k. Jacob Liddle is the second best HOK option with a green dot for Round 19 and has scored tries in each of his past three games, but at $704k he's now also the position's third most expensive player.

Sea Eagles v Knights, Sunday at 4 Pines Park

Sea Eagles: The plan to ease Tom Trbojevic back in via the centres was short lived, with the loss of Tolutau Koula to a knee injury meaning he's required back in the No.1 jersey. At $612k Turbo looks a decent pick up this week for those hunting a replacement for Latrell Mitchell, as does his teammate Reuben Garrick who is averaging 45.6 this season and offers cover at both CTR and WFB. Jake Simpkin ($327k) looks a cut-price keeper at HOK, albeit at the very low end of that category.

Knights: Provided Maroons call-up Kalyn Ponga stays fit from here, it looks like the last week coaches will be able to keep Fletcher Sharpe if they want to cash in on the money he has made. With a break even of 29 he shouldn't lose much money, if any, and he's a valuable green dot to have for Round 19. HOK Jayden Brailey is probably going to be a sell in the next week or two, having been bumped back to the bench again now Phoenix Crossland is back from concussion. Brailey is unlikely to reach his break even of 41, but should hit a score in the 30s and therefore not lose too much value if you need to keep him for Round 19.
