NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 14 - Did someone say a finish like last night?!

Maybe Des forgot he existed as new to the team?! Clutching I know, but imagine, sees him in the sheds "oh shit sorry mate, will get you more minutes next week"

Except for Schuster, this is the same full strength Manly side that was winning lots of games at the end of last season. Why are they suddenly a shit team?

This isn't new, nor is it unique to rugby league. Commentators of all sports will try to make the game seem enticing to the viewer, whether or not it's actually exciting is of secondary nature

Yeah but Vossy was calling a Rabbits comeback last night when we were completing at under 50% down by 14 with 30 to go, obviously it did happen but it was pretty outta nowhere. Broadcasters have a big say in the nrl so it would be a concerted effort from fox to try and retain viewers who would switch off when margins were massive in 2021

8/316 so far, not great but could be much worse. Teddy did a great job and I imagine most people who have Bully would have played him.

Not sure who to sell Bully to next week, assuming that he moves back to the bench as it seems like he will.

Until then got to pull a Bon Jovi and keep the faith.

Yeah frustrating when other options like Haas and Yeo doing a lot better. He’s done nothing though so pretty much at his floor

One big game and we cheer for him again

Check out the team of the guy coming first overall right now lmao it's literally a 17 made up solely of Penrith and Manly players.

edit: Weirdly, he's a Broncos fan.

Yeah I don’t like it. An offload being almost on value with a try assist. Two offloads equal a try.
Why wouldn’t they try for an increase to 3 points? Straight for the 4 ay, Fanhub?

Wasn't surprising, when they had 2 EDGs on the bench, the other EDG plays 80 minutes and so does Jurbo.

Hahaha

I realise this chat has now gone on for 2+ pages and some folks may now deem it should have its own thread...

But.. unless you are frank winterstein.. it was a very odd sub (to not come back in the middle).

Des does seem to be going senile.. maybe he thought it was Frank

Makes no sense whatsoever.

Turbo playing injured certainly didn't help.

The rain might've saved some frustration from the non-Teddy owners.. Especially if they have Trbo instead. I thought an 80+ might be on the cards.

Panthers and Roosters is why.
Manly were famous for being flat track bullies last year. They will go back to pumping bottom 8 teams soon enough and it will be business as usual

I avoided Ilias' 17... but get Bully's instead... it was meant to be

Probably some bell end who wanted to be in first place after the opening match of the season last week.

Turbo no longer having one of the greatest individual seasons in history.

I have to say this year there’s a lot of “cash cows” which aren’t firing! It’s a very interesting year, I honestly don’t remember so many under performing tbh. There’s no one to trade them too at this stage either lol

Turbo will be approx 871k next week with a huge BE. Keep those price drops coming.
