I've also been reading a little bit about that 'Leadership Camp' the Adelaide Crows AFL team went on about five years ago. There seems to be a real issue with some Aus sports teams where they buy into this whole hyper aggressive 'Warrior' culture message and engage with pseudo psychology programs developed by fucknuckles angry about the fact they can't get a root, no one recognises how hard they are and there isn't a war on they can get involved in.

It's no real surprise that these teams seem to be some of the least successful.

Funny you should say that, I was just reading the other day how Josh Aloiai runs his own business mentoring leadership skills.
He also shares Jordan Peterson quotes on social media, spouts conspiracy theories and supported Advance NZ in the 2020 NZ election.

The rules look pretty much identical to the Origin comps that have been run here

Will give it a go. Enjoy watching the NRLW but don’t know who are the fantasy guns there

This is incredibly unsurprising...i bet his reasons for boycotting the rainbow jersey were not religious.

He also loves ranting about how bad trans people are, and I'm surprised Dylan Walker hasn't given him an uppercut for it given that Walker's sister is trans.

I did watch a few finals games last year but I cheated when choosing my players....

Also looked at the fantasy stats for last season, Isabelle Kelly for the Roosters looks particularly dangerous

Know we have a few warriors fans on here. Posting incase they missed or haven't seen this

I'll throw up some options in each position.
Remembering that the women's game is a little slower and only 70min so expect scores to be a bit lower than men's fantasy.
Here are some options plus their fantasy average from last year:

HK:

Keely Davis (Dragons) - 33
Nita Maynard (Broncos) - 29
Emma Manzelmann (Knights) - 29
Brittany Breayley-Nati (Titans) - 37


MID:

Elsie Albert (Dragons) - 39
Hollie Wheeler (Dragons) - 41
Kezie Apps (Dragons) - 35 (EDG switched to the middle last year so may be available in both positions - has had an off couple of years but averaged 47 in 2019)
Destiny Brill (Roosters) - 59
Sarah Togatuki (Roosters) - 45

EDG:

Tallisha Harden (Broncos) - 31
Keilee Joseph (Roosters) - 45
Olivia Kernick (Roosters) - 43
Christian Pio (Eels) - 41
Amber Hall (Broncos) - 52

HLF:

Rachael Pearson (Dragons) - 39
Ali Brigganshaw (Broncos) - 29 - has averaged in the 40s before and if the Broncos hit form again I doubt she'll go as low as 29
Brooke Walker (Eels) - newcomer but player AFLW so expect she'll go well
Emily Curtain (Titans) - 46

CTR:

Page McGregor (Dragons) - 29
Shaylee Bent (Dragons) - 42
Isabelle Kelly (Roosters) - 52
Jessica Sergis (Roosters) - 34

FB:
Emma Tonegato (Dragons) - 45
Jaime Chapman (Broncos) - 32
Sam Bremner (Roosters) - didn't play in 2021 but averaged 30 in 2020 and 46 in 2018
Tamika Upton (Knights) - 43
Gayle Broughton (Eels) - newcomer from NZ Rugby 7s


EDIT: have bolded who I'll probably choose - you can see that in some positions they pick themselves.

Amazing post.

Pearson was deifnitely someone I thought would be up there from seeing her do all the organising, kicking etc for the Dragons

Strategically with fantasy scores lower it probably makes sense to pick the NRLM options you want first then the NRLW around them?

I just had a look at the game format and you pick a new team each week so it'll be a fair bit of luck.
A male and female captain for double points (they call it booster) so those are probably your first two picked then yes given a NRL player could score 100+ you'd be picking them first and filling the final two spots with whoever you think will score well from those last two positions.

No dual position players unfortunately.

This is what I've gone with to start

Robson (in Townsville against the Warriors)
Brill (captain)
Fifita (taking a punt with Titans against Dragons)
Hynes (captain)
Kelly
Tonegato

Not gonna win this comp by picking Cook, Hynes and Murray every week.

Tedesco against the Tigers would be a great pick if you can make that work.

No trades, 18 players left, vicarious decisions by your posts only, definitely saving trades next year

Just a matter of shifting a couple players around and choosing the captain now haha team set by midday on Monday. 1 trade left for me that I'll just be sitting on unless TLT was to throw a spanner in the works.

Forgive me for instantly thinking about fantasy implications (I have no trades left this year so 2023 is my best bet) but priced at 30 ish in the Storm system? Get in my team.
