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

Let's hope Davey is named starting Edge for Manly.
Bully to Davey can fund my Chin-god bank.

As it turned out was Ilias 17 or loop Bully or Smith so Bully 17 was best result

Hahah that last question from the pommy journo (who?) was quality and Dessie did not like it

Schuster due back any week now. Likely a dud trade

On reflection, yes it was clear that Bullemor would only get 32 minutes with two edges on the bench when one of those edges is a hooker and the other replaced an outside back an hour before kickoff. The thinking was sound and it's fair to highlight it when everyone is annoyed about this entirely foreseeable outcome.

I wasn't expecting 32 minutes either, but was expecting an early shower for him both this week and last week, which would have happened if Lawton didnt have an HIA after 1 minute.

Bully and Billy must get out of my team asap. I don't like to be reactionary, but Billy Smith obviously needs to never be part of a Fantasy team ever again for the rest of time, and Bully is just going to be horrid to own, whether it's his plodding-ness, or Des fuckery... I want no part of it. Maybe I cool down by Monday if his BE isn't too bad, but if there's a sniff of a desirable trade and I need Bully's pricetag to fund it, I would be delighted to part ways with him.

Very happy Teddy owner. Love watching him in action like that. Like Grant last night, could have been massive, but I'll take it with gratitude.

In the first match, kicking myself I brought S.Crichton instead of Tago. I know it's only two games, but definitely looks to be the better of the two and even has a bit of To'o in him at times. This is the first time I have ever owned S.Crichton in Fantasy... just not a fan and I was reminded of that tonight. Thank goodness for the goals, though.

To'o injury some black news for my Draft teams.

Anyway, frustrating night in that I kept Ilias out of my 17 and had to bring Smith in his place. Don't care about the one point, just the two wastes of space in my squad.

Grant and Teddy are my friends... Bully, Smith, Ilias, Pappy make me frown every time I look at my team. Crichton is what he is. Not displeased... just wish he was Tago.

Anyway, that's about it. Upwards from here, I hope.

What did he ask?

8/326 once updates happen, pretty happy with that given that it's mostly been highly-owned players that have underperformed. Munster's 44 is a bit meh but I'll take it.

Got Fifita, Ipap, Penisini and Nanai to play tomorrow, then POD superstar Clifford, Randall, Tuilagi, MKing and Haas (C) on Sunday

I'm willing to hold Billy, the Chooks draw gets very nice after next week and I'm willing to keep him down in my EMGs until then

I mean, if he was going to be right about Bully, then he certainly shouldn’t have the audacity to say so. He’s been wrong about other things so this doesnt count! What a fucking asshole.

Because playing a fun fantasy game and bragging about 'the failure of popular players is saving your round' is always popular
Then following that up directly after the game that you don't own said player

I forgot I also don't own Koula as well because I predicted he would only play 8minutes

Anyways noone is picking on anyone, noone is perfect and it's all fun end of the day
I couldn't even tell you what the prizes are this year, KFC vouchers again?

Billy Smith is going to become this years Roberts. Does fuck all, isn't worth trading, and he's a centre who you'll end up needing to use just because he's actually playing.

AL's comeback to the brag and Rhino's response to calling AL an alt is everyone picking on Matt? Bit premature on unsheathing the sword mate.

It wasnt that thrilling tbh, but.. journo pointed out that now that teams have worked out that they can kick to saab because he has a soft ball return which forces tommy to take a tough carry (and get smashed).. and how does des plan to deal with that.

Yeah Pookus save it for Survivor you stirrer

Haha I edited the KFC vouchers in, but yeah the prizes are shit
If you want forum rep then post lopsided TU/TD or funny gifs
If you want cash go play supercoach
If you thrive on negativity and enjoy the failure of others then you are doing it wrong
So yes its fun, so no point stressing over a fantasy game for 6 months
I couldn't care less if people beat me in this game, I will still be keen for a few beers at the meet up
Fantasy points simply make watching shit games less shit, and Sunday evening to thursday something else to have fun thinking about trades.

Robbo said the intention was to use one change on hooker position (ie watson play out the game)

You have to take that to the other thread! I was just there. Very lonely. No Revs either. I miss Revs.
