NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 21 - Nothing but Cleary

Seems kinda stupid to me. If you're in the 17 you've played imo.

Well, I guess I know how I will get Cleary in next week.

Sorry to bring everyones mood back down by talking about last nights game but I think one of the major problems with Fifita is he is standing in line with the half 9/10 he is catching the ball, and by the time he receives the ball the defence are pretty much tackling him. I would much rather tackle a 115kg wall of muscle that is standing still compared to a 115kg wall of muscle that is running at me at 30km/hr.

Just so weird that professional athletes do not see this, unless, it is Fifita himself doing this because he cbf moving.

On that note, I remember early in the game I think it was Brimson who threw a cut out to Kelly, who then made a break. Now instead of Fifita running in support for the eventual offload, he decided because he didn't get the ball so he would just stand still and watch the play unfold, possibly so if they ended up scoring he didn't have as far to run back for the kick off. Kelly eventually got an arm free, threw an offload that Brimson overran and I think it was a turn over, or just loss of momentum. This is the laziness shit we are all hashing on about.

No it's an unused sub. Fantasy doesn't care if it's team debut/cap. If don't take the field doesn't count as a score.

I have thunk of a new concept to get the masses cheering.

The winner of the NRLW and the wooden spoons of the NRL go head to head in a match; where the loser is then relegated to the NRLW and the winner books a spot in next seasons NRL season.

Would love to see the outcome of a few of these games.

Agreed. Within the game you have chose to select that player as a scorer knowing the they are on the 14-17 and may not take the field.

Obviously comes on field and no score or negative counts

You say that, But Daniel Alvaro once got a DNP for a game he started. Got injured in the first tackle, and was on the field for so little that fanhub counted his game time as "0" and treated that as never took the field.
Believe that issue has been fixed

Surely MTB has an opinion on this?

Yep. as soon as Sexton kicks it for the final play of the game, Fifita stops running and starts pulling his socks up. It's your last scoring chance in the game, and you don't even bother to chase your half's bomb. it was in the middle of the field, sure, but Fifita literally stopped in his tracks.

Just the final play of the game? He seemed to be like that the whole 80

It'd only ever happen once. 110-0 drubbing and half the womens team injured before play was halted.

On form Fifita shouldn't be on the QLD bench, he will be though

You haven’t played if you haven’t taken the field. On your point, if you win a GF and you don’t take the field (for whatever reason) do you get a winners medal?

My Tigers are already under enough pressure FFS! Let’s get the women into NSW /Qld Cup first!

Yes you do

On DaFita, any idea how many dollars he’s lost after again scoring decently fir doing SFA? Whatever it is, Cleary needs to at least match it.

Dfifita's score was pretty average, I'm more annoyed by Sexton's performance, he just couldn't get it up

Paul Vautin was asked to give 3-2-1 for the game, and he gave the points to the other commentators.

One of the other commentators asked what about the sideline commentators. He gave JT a zero and Danika a 10. I wonder if the PC police heard that! He’s a funny guy.

Please hide your 20,000th post in some obscure thread that no one ever finds.

Will lose another $45-50k by looks of it so say $100k since start.

Fifita & Sexton out for Cleary and someone (hopefully an EDG) under $500k
Might actually bring Tuilagi back in if his injury isn't too bad.
