NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 10 - Look in my Eyes. I'll diagnose what ails you

Shop is about to open, you can already trade the players despite everyone having a green dot

Open! For real this time

Avoiding starting work today, so here's my ratings of my players for the week (fantasy not IRL):

Cook (c) - 8/10 solid performance
Carrigan - 8/10 as above
Haas - 8/10 as above
Collins - 9/10 was a gut pick and he came through with the goods. If he'd crashed over for a try off the kickoff error he'd have got a 10.
E Butcher - 6/10 looked decent but the sinbin and likely suspension hurt
Hopgood - 10/10 even with 7 missed tackles, he gunned it. For the price can't ask for more
Boyd - 6/10 didn't show much outside the kick metres, which might not be there if Foran is out for a while
Doueihi - 8/10 expected him to be reliant on individual attacking stats, and so it was. Good score can't complain
Alamoti - 4/10 can't expect much from 230k, but he sure didn't deliver much
HSS - 5/10 could have scored mid-high 30s if he didn't have feet for hands.
Warbrick - 7/10 solid, can't complain
Trbo - 6/10 showed glimpses, but it didn't convert to fantasy points. Better luck R3
Latrell - 8/10 did nothing and scored 61. Perfect fantasy WFB outcome

Cheese - 5/10 who knows, Roosters were a rabble. Should improve
E Katoa - 7/10 uninspiring scoring, but looks like a solid enough pick
Trindall - 6/10 looked good first half, got unlucky with the forward pass call
Cartwright - 10/10 base price player gets 57? take that every day of the week

Doorey - 7/10 see E Katoa
Talau - 3/10 base price and missed BE, plus injured. nup.
I Katoa - 3/10 horrible score, but looked like he'll probably have a few decent games.
AKP - 1/10 only got 1 by not getting injured and not getting a negative score.

Team rating: 6.4/10 (squad) 7.1/10 (scorers)

Nah you’re doing it wrong. It’s supposed to be ‘I was going to pick [insert top scorer] but everyone here was high on [insert dud scorer] and now my teams screwed’


….Great post

Yeah there was a bit of open blame game across the weekend, I personally can't fathom how anyone can consciously type out and post like that. Where's the self respect and ownership ?

So players can drop below 230k this season?

CNK not getting his TS is an absolute mockery. Outraged and I'm not even an owner.

Wow apparently so eh

I've had worse starts - 23,365th overall

Hopgood lost a point. Doorey gained one, but is in in my EMGs

Yeah wtf that's a balls up

Looks like $220k is the minimum. That's what it was last year and they just never updated it.

AKP would be lower than $220k if it was allowed

I think it's transferable across life in general. I purposely don't reveal my round one team in full prior to the season starting, not because it's full of crafty PODs (it's pretty cookie cutter) or I think people will 'steal my ideas' but just so that I don't receive any 'why no Garner?' feedback that may sway my thinking.

I want to have 100% ownership of my own terrible decisions just like i'm sure most on here do.

Lol. Looks like they'll be locking back up and resetting shortly because no that's not supposed to happen.

*Edit* Ah, Milchcow's post above explains it. Obviously wasn't intended to happen but they'll stick with it because

They always did, just not visual right, usually

Yeah, shop will be closing soon hahaha

I've realised I didn't leave enough in the kitty for a straight up Butcher to Bird swap. Assuming Bird is 13. I have options. Is one of them a punt on NULL NULL?

First week of a new season, so could be errors in here. Please shout out if you see anything suspect

Yeah - but if you traded them out they were worth $230k (not their hidden value).

It means that to do the trades I want, I have to trade Talau (whether he's fit or not) because I'd be 1k short based on AKP at $220k

Why did Null Null play so many minutes? Only saw the second half. HIA?

Tino -> Carrigan
Egan B -> Bird

Simple as trades after a shit round 1

Wallace got injured so KBrom played quite a lot in the middle. Might have done a bit of that anyway, hard to tell.
