NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 53 - time to trade in some Bulldogs

White Lightning wrote:on TPJ being out for 2 weeks with back spasms seems a bit odd to me. For me that only requires 1 week out at the most. The first week he was out someone posted a photo of him turning up to the ground early & he looked fine & there was no indication he would be out for more than 1 game. We've seen Dufty get the chop maybe Potter has chopped TPJ as well.

I need to see this photo, was it taken from the grassy knoll?

NRL Physio on TPJ, 4 June:

Tevita Pangai Jr is hoping to return in Rd 14 after missing the last 2 weeks with a disc aggravation issue in his lower back. Bulging discs are quite common, even in the pain free population, but short term aggravations with associated muscle spasm can require 2-3 weeks to settle

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you our 4th Immortal-Milchcow.

Thankyou for everything you have done here and on Sportal Milchy

Here. Here.
When I first started, it was the wise Cow who answered my dumb questions.
Knowledgeable and sportsmanlike. 
An Immortal if ever there was one.

Any chance Will Smith turns up at a Sydney club before Rd 17? He was one of my 'hold for R13 players', thinking he would get a run in the halves when Brimson gets picked for QLD. Same logic as my Ese Ese cash out.....he'll get a run surely in 13 with Fotuaika and Tino making the QLD side. LOL, fail.

Not if he runs and kicks less because foot issue which could linger plus Douehi back will goal kick.

Doueihi not back this week. Some think v warriors and if you believe Benji he's 4 weeks away.

And still not the main source of points drop if Hastings managing his play because of foot injury

Shame Olakau 'atu doesn't have an offload he breaks more tackles than Ipap and dies with the ball

TPJ had some back issues at his time with the Broncos. He's a big lad so it's not surprising. Seems legit and not cut.

It depends exactly where the nerve damage is.

When he was in the sheds a few weeks back, they seemed to be working on his upper ankle (almost lower leg) which to my understanding is going to be a longer issue for Hastings, verses nerve issues directly in the foot which may be 3-4weeks full rest. If it's the foot, and it's still not right, then each time he plays a game he is delaying recovery.

Rafael Nadal has a chronic foot problem. He just won his 22nd grand slam.

So basically what I'm saying is I'm banking on Jackson Hastings playing on with it and becoming the greatest player in the game.

It’s such a given it’s not even a bold call…I second the motion

Disc injuries can be very debilitating and take quite a while to resolve. Not always easy to predict return to play timeframes either.

If he’s out this week I’ll piss him off as the risk of him being eased in minutes wise when he returns due to pain and fitness will be relatively high, and he’s a borderline keeper who I just know will let me down when I need him in H2H finals

Just went through some 2018 history, when the offiical fantasy product launched without a match centre

MTB announcing he was working on his own site (Friday afternoon after the first game of the season the previous day)
https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t640p80-2018-nrl-com-fantasy-thread-part-11#176912

MTB launching his site (3 hours later)
https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t640p220-2018-nrl-com-fantasy-thread-part-11#177068

I had a couple of PMs with him that morning. They've since been deleted, but i think the jist of it was

Me: "hey mtb, can you give me a pointer in reading JSON files"
mtb: "hold my beer"

Jackson Hastings to win the 2023 French open?

Moving Brimson back to FB is tricky because
(a) they don't have Will Smith anymore (play Tanah Boyd?)
(b) it kinda suggests the Brimson halves thing isn't working

But not moving Brimson to FB means playing Isaako.

It's a pickle for them

At the moment it's hard to see where them or the Warriors next win comes from.

When they play each other next  

Warriors have shown they can lose against 12 so the Titans won't need a FB, my money would be on the Titans.

Same here!

Jeez sorry Milchy, I always assumed you were already an Immortal mate, I should read more!

Congrats dude, very much deserved.
