NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 4 - It's go time !

Finger Puppet Mafia wrote:Can some people give me a tip on some of the best fantasy nrl podcasts around and why you rate them.

In my opinion...

1= Talking League: Podcasts several times a week. Slick presentation and production. Some not-great thinking and reliance on "narratives" but a good listen and with genuine inside info thanks to good contacts in the game.

1= Fantasy Amateurs: Breezy and entertaining. More a fantasy "players" podcast, some useful thinking. Mark and Ryan should probably just fuck and get it over with

3 Boom and Bust. About three hours long and pretty one dimensional. Still listen but with regular skips. The podcast definition of "this could have been an email"

4 In The Bin: Kiwis on meth drunkenly swear about their fantasy teams. If that's your thing, knock yourself out.

5: Late Mail Crew: Actively unhelpful simulation of sitting in front of the dumbest people at the ground trying to talk about rugby league

Honourable mention: OTL - the nicest men on the internet track their fantasy team. On (permanent?) hiatus.

As someone who is unlikely to ever listen to a Fantasy podcast, i enjoyed that summary. Thank you

No need mate, was beautiful as. Should get them going again. I'd volunteer except a) I'd get found out for not knowing what I'm talking about if it wasn't obvious already b) I'm a wuss c) my voice is even more wussy than Random's!

If i can ever find some time between work and the coaching might start them up again!

Rabbits21 wrote:Do we think when picking your starting team you need to be careful how many origin guys you take? Eg if you pick 5 origin guys they’ll very likely be rested as well over that period and you might need to trade 4 or even 5 of them out over origin rather than someone who only has 2-3 origin guys…….

So you're not going to start with Cleary, Haas, Murray or Ted just because they play Origin 3 months down the track?

You and Mulv first on ground.

Expecting you to rock up in prime Jim Lahey shit bird voice

It's no coincidence that his scoring dropped off once Graham replaced him

I think he will but he’s too expensive

Ditto, I’ll Chuck in to the patreon $$$

How long have you been playing NRLFantasy for?

I just thought it was a good question and given we have extra bye rounds this year to navigate.

Like do I wanna carry all of Cleary, Grant, Haas and Carrigan who will all play origin and I’ll likely need to trade 3 maybe even all 4 out over this period…….. I’m just trying to weigh it up and see what others might be thinking.

Sometimes I host the LMC one it’s isn’t that bad some very good fantasy players in that who join the pod.

You could at least get someone decent on to reboot the podcast
Should get young rabbits live at 4pm this Tuesday
No idea what that is in welsh time

As for me, I give less of a fuck than zero fucks last year
So that means I am going to go out with a bang risky business styles
Apologies L1 in advance

I’ll probs have 3 or so but not sure I can carry say 5 origin guys.

Most definitely but might be a good option early comp
Saying it now means I can look like a genius if he does, but early enough that everyone will forget if he fails so win/win

But bradman best could be another interesting option too

Can I join an episode one day and do I need to provide a CV or some references?
Will make sure to wear fresh underwear and a tie

You missed the part where he said, very good players on the pod sorry mate.

I think if you commit to your strategy and give even less fucks this year, maybe 2 x zero fucks, or even 3x zero fucks, you'll end up with a pretty similar result, and..., end up in League one again.....congrats!
