NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 62 - Friday Afternoon Procrastination

Laurie up to 49. Roberts up to 29. Everyone else within a point or three.

Roberts 29 you beauty. Hope he stays on the wing

Just gained 21 in updates, nice.

Great win by Tigers, or Giant Killers if you will. There were a couple of moments in the 2nd half where we were really missing Jo Ofa, but that's the price you pay when you've got origin reps. Will be great when he returns and brings that origin intensity to training and lifts the rest of the boys. Look out NRL.

The good from last night. Twal 67, Laurie 49, Burton 55, JFH 44(not great but not bad), the "clearys a wanker" chant

The bad. Talau 17, end of the beautiful streak.

Quite the rank jump. Up to 1400 overall. 7c players remaining and the option to trade in 2 more if I want.

Hahahaha love this self-appraisal

I'm gonna guess that's a Hooper article.

"Currently holidaying on the gold coast" therefore can't be homesick? Jesus Christ man, he's allowed to have a fucking holiday somewhere warm.
Sounds like just trying to make Williams look bad with the unnamed club gauging interest.

Grub of a human that mudguard.

Mudguard hahaha enjoying today’s pages catch up

I’ll come on to kick goals?

They said goals, not goalkicks mr centre half

My rank so far has dropped from 7800 something to just outside the top 5000,hoping I can chip away a bit more. New recruit Burton scored nicely albeit with lots of demerits,hopefully I don’t end up regretting trading him in for Schuster. Roberts and Leniu were meh like I thought they would be but chuffed with Stefanos effort. Score is 344 so far with Brailey,Watson,Matterson,Moses,Fogarty,Olam and captain Hynes to come

Love to see my captain Macca being my lowest scorer so far

All my "cheapies" out of the way now with decent scores from Gamble & May. Just looking to hold rank after going with 11 & no trades this week (15 left)

238 with 7 left (pretty much most well owned)

On track for 730 with my own rough projections. Wbu guys? As much as I want a good score, hoping to use up all my luck in winter cricket today. Had a few beers and a mixed snack pack, playing at a ground with no toilets. Pray for me

I thought this was interesting from Matt Burton.
To me, it suggests that Burton & May are expecting to play in the halves next week as well.

Coach Ivan said they have a plan, but will see how Origin goes first... obviously... but it does look like they aren't intending to put out their team BAU around this period.

Makeshift halves Tyrone May and Matt Burton tried hard all night but couldn't find the killer blow inside the Tigers' 20-metre zone.

"We didn't complete and I put my hand up for that, I wasn't good enough to put enough pressure on.

"It was good to get the opportunity but we've got to keep working on our combination and get better next week."

Low 700s for me would be an agreeable outcome. Not likely to push into 800s.

Just turned up to golf course in Canberra, -5. Frozen fairways and greens. Sucks

Dropped 3,500 ranks so far, conceded rd 13 with 7 players, nil trades, possibly jones

Either playing in halves next week or so well trained to speak in cliches to media the “next week” part was just automatic

Oh wow, any way around it or do you just have to play on?

I’m currently watching Dragons on Kayo mini with my 4yo

He likes to tell me who scored - “no 1 for Dragons scored the try”, “no 7-1 [17] for the Broncos scored”

Only two exceptions to this number system all season

1. I-Pap - the guy with a lot of hair scored
2. Rava - the big guy scored

Round 13 half time report
Starting rank = 10195
Half time rank = 5317
Round rank 898 with a score of 439
Players left = Watson, Matterson, Moses, Reimis, Brailey, Fogarty, Jones

Byes have always and will always be the best time to make up ground. In the back end when your POD scores 60 and everyone else owns the guy scoring 55 you gain 5 points that week. During the byes you can get a 60 while most get a 0 and rocket up the rankings

6/262 so far but that is Roberts and SCrichton out of the way. Fingers crossed the other 8 lads can go hard
