Pretty good, was wondering if ponga scores better with Mann involved?

my tv broke wrote:"Ponga hit the ground after a high tackle from Roosters prop Matt Lodge, whose left arm connected with the fullback's right shoulder and neck region. "

"Ponga was collected high by Nathan Cleary and was deemed to have suffered a category one concussion, which automatically ruled him out of Newcastle’s upcoming fixture against the Gold Coast Titans."

two examples of poor tackling technique

I think once he's injury free, Elliot will be starting lock. (which would likely be better for Ponga attacking involvement)

Makes sense, Elliot loves a pub toilet too

Totally agree re strategies vs one strategy. The game in real life changes each season so you have to adapt to how that will affect fantasy scores each season as well (this is where being focussed purely on the numbers can fail). My post was more aimed at the ones that definitely play the game the wrong way, and by that I don’t mean you have to do what I do or anyone else in particular…but there are clearly posters here that you can just tell will never win it unfortunately. At the end of the day it is a game within a game and should mainly be played as an extension of joy we already get from Rugny League

There should be a list of these guys, or a green light on their profile or something to show that maybe what they say has been backed up with results in the past? It might stop a few of the arguments…yes I said a few haha

Already battling a hip issue, Elliott rolled his ankle during a drill at training after stepping on another Knight's foot, however the injury isn't expected to rule the middle forward out long-term.

- OK so this sounds like some "Dave Taylor fell out of his bed" level story. What really happened?!

Some use it for the serious business of sharing NRLF insights (both valuable and otherwise), some use it to write down every thought that pops into their head (whether self generated or regurgitated), some need to get positive affirmation about their ever changing plans and some, like me, use as a place to speak shit about NRL because no one they know gives a flying one about it.

Wading through the chaff to find the wheat that bakes your loaf is part of the fun

I will concede though that asking the same question multiple times while ignoring the answers you don't want to hear is a little bit irritating and deserves any shit posts it invokes.
