NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 8 - Hopgod!

Luke try is great. Suck people in

Kenny wasn't the reason the Panthers lost that game, Cleary and Luai both really poor, Luai going to take a while to adjust without big lad Kikau on his shoulder

He made some silly little errors to show hes still green but still played ok. Kenny will still be their long term plans with Luke sparking them later on against tired defenders

Not one for knee jerk reactions but Garner may cop the chop !!!

So is Garner!

Few notes after that match:

- Luke looks a serious player and will grab if he ever gets the 9
- Kenny scored well and big mins, but probably influenced by Sorenson failed HIA rather than this being the norm
- Graner a big trap, first gone next week if no other worse fires
- Arey in a decent Broncs team looks possibly relevant again, keep an eye on him
- Yeo,  Haas and Carrigan doing just as expected, tick
- Panthers regress as predicted, expect Cleary to score better and this not to be tbe norm however
- Cobbo is not a FB, Kevvie will welcome Walsh with open arms and if he's ever out again consider anyone else in his entire squad to play at the back before Cobbo again,

Broncos are gonna be great with Walsh to come in. Mam is such a fun player to watch

Already there, it’s nice when a punt comes off.

Reminded me a bit of when Milf had form in hears gone by, popping around all over the show

Harris - 70
Egan - 64
CHK - 51
AFB - 47
Johnson - 46
Ford - 44
TMM - 25
Curran - 3

Brailey - 51
Fitz - 49
Hastings - 46
Miller - 43
Leo Thompson - 39
Hunt - 34
Ponga - 31
Eilliot - 29
Hetho - 18

Warriors/Knights updates are in, I think. Nobody moved more than a few points and somehow nobody got any try saves, even CNK for the decade's clearest try save.

Well fuck, as per usual my Thursday morning team is comfortably outpacing my post rolling-lockout team, you’d think I would learn and just keep my hands off it once that first game kicks off, but I never do.

CNK the one who was in and out of my team all pre-season.
Well done to the lad, he seems to be a quality young man.
Hope my Trindall punt works out.

Man that's BS. CNK's was the most obvious one ever and I don't even have him. Miller and Ponga's (have both) was pretty obvious too. I mean what more do they want? Maybe they will run it through a few more sets of eyes

Post match presser, Walters said Kotoni cramping which he does in the early rounds which made ARey grin. An in-joke? Kotoni a poor trainer?

yeah should have just stuck with Kenny

Garner to Carty pencilled in

Well that was a great last game!
Obviously not fantasy wise personally as I had the C on McChinny in both fantasy and SC so bit of a bummer.
Talked myself out of Ford, just like the Storm bench I looked and got spooked thinking there’s no way he’s playing 80…. Was wrong and he looked the goods.
Kenny did exactly what I predicted he would do, glad I stuck with him.
Not sure if it was the weather or the misleading trials but Carrigan put the offload either away or reverted back to his norm, good thing is he played 70 so even if the output doesn’t change the extra 10 minutes can accommodate that.
CNK played well IRL, but a try save and a try for under 50 makes me not that nervous as a non owner, congrats to the people who did grab him though and enjoy the $.
Harris looked the goods, I’m keen but easier to bring Ford in.
Brailey was underwhelming as well, podded him so will see how he goes.
9/550c currently, pretty sure most people haven’t played their centres yet, I’m hoping that’s where I can jump up the ladder.

550/9c is huge. I'm 508/9c and thought that was decent (also captained Cleary. Most did). Everyone except chin has gone way over BE though so can't complain.

I'd be happy with JBRails. 52 with ZERO stats minus tackling, he's good close to the line darting and finding the right runner 5 out.

548/9c for me (with Carty set to party his way into my score)

Still have $480k worth of CTR to come tomorrow, so it might be a bit downhill from here
