Still think if only Keary stays fit then we had a chance. Add Manu out and no chance at all, everything's on Ted. Even with Friend, Cordner, BMoz, Collins etc out just those two could have been enough.

I’ve got a core group of mates/work colleagues that will do various fantasy draft league (NFL, NRL, NBA, a few madmen have done MLB and NHL).. I also work with data daily, so it’s a biased sample

Interest as waned as we all get older though. Not being able to do a draft in person for Nearly Sport/NRLCeo doesn’t help either, thanks COVID

Stuff like NRL fantasy, SuperCoach, FPL where you are against the whole field and there’s less rivalry are a harder sell becuase they aren’t as social.

Stuff with a financial investment just discourages casuals, and people who might invest might just find getting on the punt easier.

The other thing is Aussie sports don’t have the same stats culture as US sports. There’s no obsession on Moneyball like baseball or all the metrics in NFL… I mean they do exist, but as IP in-house for clubs and stats providers.

Even soccer is starting to promote awareness of OptaStats like expected goals.

Meanwhile cricket, which should be stats rich like baseball, experts still mention averages in limited overs cricket. The advanced metrics that are bread and butter to T20 franchises are barely on the radar of the viewers and pundits, and the data are locked away. That effects the fantasy sports side as well. An stats informed audience are more likely to gravitate to these side games

Was almost more entertaining than the game tbh.
Playing these games at mackay seems ridiculous. Why are they not playing finals games at suncorp?
