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

We were all surprised that he had a down year last season (46 average), after a stellar year the season before (63 average in games he wasn't injured) which made him a genuine HOK gun option. No chance of Origin.

If Bulldogs keep playing shit, he is going to put up a similar stat line 50 tackles, 50 run meters and was good to see him taking km off Burton, who is looking under real pressure. Gives him a base of 58 in games where they aren't playing well.

In games where they are doing well he should pick up a few attacking stats.

With the Bulldogs MID crisis, Brown isn't playing HOK, giving Reed a chance to cement 80 minutes. Was the only standout performer in a really bad Bulldogs performance. Even without the try, would have scored 63.

Only a $112k upgrade on Smith, who doesn't look to be playing an 80 minute HOK role any time soon
with Turpin getting huge minutes off the bench and possibly playing injured (if named this week).

Hard to find quality undervalued HOK options that don't play Origin and play 2 bye rounds. Helps ease the pressure of 3 Roosters that many of us have, when we don't want to be playing our shitty emergencies in Round 4.

Started the season sub-300k, dual, and busted out a 50.

Get him in now for his inevitable 80 minute -3.

MCK debuted back in 2014, Host in 2016. I think we all know what to expect from these players and both are borderline first graders.

What could possibly go wrong there?

Need to give myself an uppercut for even considering it.

My first rage was because of all the pussies that are flooding this forum.

mrbrownstone wrote:Anyone have strong feelings on CHN vs Sutton as a Garner replacement?

Think I'm leaning Sutton at this stage.

Speaking of, who is Young Tonumamamapiea filling in for? Olam? looks back round 6. Surely its just better to grab Thompson at 330 and hope he can maintain 25-30 in that bunnies side. Pair him up with HSS and hope they don't suck too much.

Can you clarify, is the snowflake the person who rage quits when he reads something he doesn't like, or the other guy?

Whilst you ponder this, I'm going to trade in Tom Starling.

CHN always looks very tempting in the right scenario, but it always feels on edge in terms of being able to be locked in.

Sutton appears more certain in current role imo. Lower ceiling but doing the job.

I'll take this question seriously for just one moment.

I personally like free and open discussion, where we may or may not abuse each other based on our fantasy opinions. But after we are done abusing each other we have a beer, chat fantasy and watch NRL.

In my opinion, it has been getting more and more personal on this forum over the years. For example, somebodies view on the Manly Pride jersey saga somehow makes them either more or less valuable to this forum.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I DO NOT come here for education on political matters.

I don't actually know what the blue between Matt and Booze is about, but I do know that Booze had no issues with me sharing an unpopular opinion last year. And I value that he gives me that freedom to disagree and try to get back to fantasy.

I share more unpopular opinions than anyone else on the forum, I am the poster child for allowing it.
