NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 89 - Finals Fantasy 2020 End of Days

This bye round killed my chances, didn't have a single player.

Do we need to start up a game of sheep? Happy to run if enough interest.

I really struggled to get excited for game one and keep forgetting about game two.
It just seems awkward to be having Wednesday night games out of season and I'm not watching NRL so not getting the hype from TV.

Just got game two team picker online.

Sort of forgot it was coming up again this week. Just checked the teams, had no idea Lui was starting prop for QLD.

EDIT i just googled the nsw theme song that I've seen mentioned a few times.. oh boy, cringe.

...

Hopefully Pucowski will open the bat in the first test with Warner.

Is Capewell playing?? I heard he was a very slim chance and Sami has been training at centre with Hunt I think on the wing?

Heard Capewell was likely out but it was Brenko Lee coming in. Not sure about the position swap


EDIT: Bennett saying he definitely will play Fox Sports

Pretty happy with this team:

Cook(c)
Lui
S'ua Crichton
Munster
Capewell
Teddy Holmes

13K remaining

Really excited for Game 2. Feels way more exciting now that QLD are a game up and it's do or die! Will do my team, dfs & value bets tomorrow but here's our preivew of the game for anyone interested (including odds comparison for try scorer & man of the match odds):

As someone who absolutely lives and breathes State of Origin I'm finding myself the same. Even during the game I didn't really feel it. I think because it was at the end of the year and it feels like second grade teams playing and not best of the best in the middle of the year at their peak.

Even if we win the series I won't be that hyped, saying that if we lose I'll still feel shattered but it's not the same feeling.

Good news is Vlandys is planning on having a normal season in 2021 with SOO back to mid-season

Depending on the ratings of the possible "live rubber" (Vlandys for some reason called the possible decider a live rubber)

Probably just lost his words and went with the opposite of dead rubber.

Usually I'm either at the games or we're watching with a whole bunch of mates. We only managed to have 4 of us watch it and we weren't hyped like previous years.

I think as well people are mentally drained, it's been a bloody big year.

I think this also proves that a lot of the “nobody cares about international footy” sentiment is really “nobody cares about footy after the GF”.

Honestly forgot about the game until this morning. Have now updated my league leading Origin fantasy team - just three changes... plus taking a punt on the big C

If Crichton takes Cordners 80 minutes than he is my captain...

Blues by 10 tonight.

I’ve been keeping busy apart from work I have actually enjoyed some of the women’s BBL, really entertaining. I have also been watching SAS Australia and on 10 Play App I’m watching NZ Survivor and then am gonna get onto Survivor South Africa.

Also have been enjoying the build up to origin tonight and following the US election.

Caught up with some friends for breakfast the other morning as well.

Also had a meal at the RSL with my Nanna and Aunty who is back from London to care for her now. Was nice seeing them. My Birthday comes up 2 weeks tomorrow so I’ll see them again on that day as well......
