NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 83 - the chin is back... still a sore shoulder, as a matter of fact

Unlucky mate, those are the risks with WFBs though. Broncos contained him well early and then he just seemed to lurk around and Knights went on a run. Could've gone large on another day, but 45 isn't a disaster, only a 12 point loss vs. Haas pending updates and will see what happens with Cleary..

Put the VC on Ponga with Cleary wearing the armband….stop whinging about Pongas score he’s a FB ffs! he is just as much a chance of a 29 as a 100. If you wanted a safe 55+ stick it on Haas!

Me playing around at lockout and Verrills starting with Watson in the EMG looking not that bad so far. I still get his score if Cleary doesn't play and if Cleary does play I still may take the score over Burton.

You captained a FB.  You know the risks.

I know but I was hoping rolling the dice may go my way but sadly it wasn’t to be!

Not a total disaster I guess.

Gamble defended Ponga very well, he could have quite easily run a couple in during the 1st half.

If I was paying attention before kickoff I should have dumped Watson to EMG. playing behind Sue is good, playing behind Barnett not so much. Still would’ve hoped for a 40.

It’s the same every week.
Stop feeling the need to justify everything you do.
It’s ok to put up your hand and say you made a mistake.

For what it’s worth, I captained Ponga too.
It was the wrong move.

On the Matty Johns show they just reported that Bradman Best has gone to hospital in an ambulance with a shoulder injury.
No further info yet.

Jesus Christ that poor kid has had a horror run.. Hopefully he ends up like Teddy and Gutho and gets the majority of his career injury free.

I tossed and turned all week about trading him out and am very irritated at myself for holding. It's not like he hasn't scored well with the same minutes he had even last week and definitely this week. So not really sure what the issue is, but he's broken. I'll definitely, 100%, be parting ways with him next week, but annoyed at myself to have lost dollars as well as what else it could potentially mean in a H2H elimination.

Ponga 48
Watson 32
Best 31

Haas 57
Gamble 45

Cappy Haas and Ponga done. But of an underwhelming result but we soldier on

Watson at 18, Verrills could get a run

For us Kelly owners, him being pushed into the halves for Croft not Hooker would suggest he'll be back starting next week.

Although, I swear he's left footed? The one kick he took was with his right boot, looked un-co... must still have a niggle

These usually come through overnight but my app is still showing old scores. Is this the same for everyone and as a Ponga and Watson owner do I look longingly at these extra 7 points on offer and chalk it up as what could have been?

Cleary dot watch

From NRL Physio.

Bradman Best was taken for a precautionary scans to check his collarbone post game last night (via Newcastle Herald), early indications are he avoided a fracture. Would be a big relief as any fracture would be 6-8 weeks recovery. At this stage presume he will be fit to play next week

Yeah, the app is fucked again, my rank is still the same as last weeks and I only had Haas.

Yeah I thought this was weird on desktop site. Was thinking what are the chances I’m the exact same rank after 1 game

Nah app hasn’t updated. Live rank not working either.

I was ranked 0 at one point last night which I believe is even better than 1!!! Great start to the week for the Aardvarks
