NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 74 - Lolo Locomotive

394 for the round and moved up 523 places to 2201. With my planned trades I can see a big run into the top 500 to close out the year!

Manifesting positive energy will breed positive results.

Just because a kids 19, and the outcome didn’t come through this one time, doesn’t mean it wasn’t the right decision. I’m thinking Southgate might have put a bit of thought into this one…

Having said that was surprised Henderson was one of the two to go off for the tactical penalty subs.

Chucking 2 cold players and a 19 year old taking 3 pens in a row is woeful engineering. Whether it’s come from Southgate or players.

Sterling should of had his hand in the air as a senior player sorry. How many pens have you seen Maguire take before?

England Rugby fans are arrogant but they are really good as gold in terms of their actions win or lose. Not sure what separates these absolute bellends at the football where smashing their cities up is the norm.

The media is another issue. I’d take a blocker sandwich for a season straight rather than listen to these fucking imbeciles comment on England games

When I think of England Rugby fans, I always recall when England drew with the All Blacks in the late 90's.
The fans did a standing ovation, the team did a lap of honour.

That being said, when the Lions have toured here, I've always found the English rugby fans (amongst the other Lions fans) to generally be good sorts.

This is why you were the standout option for the Fanatic people would most like to have a beer with - it's phrases like "bellends at the football" - bang on

I don't care if Sterling has his hand in the air as a senior player, no manager should be getting him to take a kick in the first 5.

The 2 "cold" players was a deliberate tactic to bring one two good penalty takers. Maybe it's not a good one, but I feel it's just one that is open for the hindsight brigade, no matter what happens.

Do it and they're in: brilliant tactics!
Do it and they miss: cold players
Don't do it and they're in: warm(?) players
Don't do it and they miss: tired, didn't use bench properly

100%. I don't have a problem with a cold rashford taking the pen, as he is still more than capable of scoring it and a noted pen taker. However to put a cold sancho up to the task then backing it up with Saka was just terrible coaching. Grealish should've taken one for sure and the other experienced players.

- 67th min tackle on Toby Rudolf -

Turnovers: When a player successfully completes a one-on-one strip, takes an intercept or causes a turnover via tackle. 4 Points

425/8
Gained 389 spots though, sitting at 912 overall

Yeah, this morning I was like: Johnson up to 54 - nice, Walsh up - that's good, Lodge WTF... bastards... seriously!

Now I'll just file it away into the Luke Brooks hall of fantasy injustices applied to low owned players and move on to next week

Raheem Sterling is a cat! How dare he stand there and let Saka take the bullet like that.

Good win by Italy, always liked Mancini

Note: Henderson would have 100% taken that last penalty if he was on

Henderson was taken off specifically because he wasn't going to take a penalty. Him and Walker must have been last choices. Bringing on two guys for their first kick of a ball in two and a half hours to be a penalty in a final against the best goalkeeper in the world is dumb, dumb, dumb.

PS Welshy, a lot of England fans are scumbags but there isn't a nation on the planet that doesn't boo opposing teams' penalties in a shootout. It isn't Rugby.

Can this open already so I can trade in Fifita?

You don't feel like writing in a letter? Surely there's a template going round.

First traded in Dunamis Lui. They have a stacked team and decent lead on second otherwise, but why?

Shows you can make a couple of mistakes and still be successful I guess.

Gonna be a tough rnd for me this week have tohu and tpj who I can't afford to trade due to only having 3 trades then probably won't have turbo moses crichton and teddy who I need to back up also have timoko who won't play unless someone gets injured plus need schuster back this week

that probably rates as the weirdest trade I've seen. Radley only 20k more expensive ..

He may have already had him actually, but it would be a strange trade-in at any time.

Think he's had Lui for a few weeks, but it's still pretty weird

Wow, I remember seeing that hit and it was a damn good hit and a clear TO.

Team in 2nd also got in Rudolf. PODs for the sake of PODs

Those teams at the top must be out of trades surely.

Looking forward to user ynot running the numbers

Is Gurgess effective immediately?

A few odd ones/PODs in the top 20 actually.

4th got Lawton and Dearden.

5th jumped on Tevaga and has Gutho.

6th got Jayden Campbell.

7th got Zac Saddler (presumable a red dot cashout - risky this year).

8th still has Simpkin.

10th grabbed Garrick and cashed out to Suluka-Fifita.

16th got Garrick and Alex Johnston (plus Hynes, Teddy, Turbo, Walsh)

17th got Ben Turbo and still has Cini

Worth remembering when people start thinking all teams will be the same.
