NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 11 - The case of the mistrusted team lists

For your own mental health, reckon there is some merit in ridding yourself of those shit cheapies that you know are going to give you the shits

That's similar to when I dislocated my elbow climbing on the back of a couch to dismantle an elaborate cubby house my daughter and her friend had constructed (I looked at the couch said internally 'this is dumb' but I did it anyway)

I was wearing my indoor football gear as I was about to head to a match and when they wrote 'sports injury' down on the hospital admittance form I did not correct them

Apparently dislocated elbows are a renowned rugby league injury.....it hurts.

Where are Garner owners pivoting too? Ilias?

What is Chee Kam's job security like?

And any Levi owners moving on

Gives me Ilias 2022 vibes

(Based on 1 game)

I agree with this, come round 4, when all the Roosters we have in our teams mean people are playing AKP, Katoa and Talau off their EMG, in addition to HSS and Alamoti in the team and we are going to see some really low scores.

I was doing no trades but this is a great idea I can just afford

Wild that people who skipped Carty because of job security are now trading him in with one less game and one less price rise to go

He wasn't so good that he won the starting spot

Not sure if just me, but that table makes my eyes hurt lol

The red & cream isn't good for my eyes

Cheers for the replies, wouldn't be surprised if first game jitters played its part a bit but also sounds like a bit of a chaotic game for him and the team in general.

I could go a bit wild and trade Uto to him enabling Garner to Tohu but likely just keep him on the watchlist this week.

I have him and am holding. You can watch though, his price ain't getting out of control anytime soon.

Folks saying Jacob Host still to come back, Arrow was going to play in the prop position so that's good for MCK

Are you a Roosters fan? Assume you don't like the Dolphins jersey either?

Good sense check IMO

Agree it’s good to punt coin goats early if you can get faster cash with others, but I don’t want to force it. The likes of Ford and Thompson too rich for my bank, Carty and MCK and BMM seem trappy, so will likely be holding.

Stimson or Chee Kam?

Delete your team an option?

Stimson has job security I guess, not sure how much more he costs

But now Trindall is getting more than one week I need to allocate my brainless punt spot to someone else and who better than everyone’s favourite Party host

Rest assured that the remainder of my team is choc a block with sensible Sallys and I won’t run out of trades.

Also having Katoa in my emergencies is a painful reminder of how much of a sucker I am for a low percentage of success base price half

I would normally say this.

Howver i feel like Matto will return off the bench, at very least the first week.

I mean, its carty and he could cook it completely 20 mins into round 2. 

Yolo etc

Each teams logo or jersey colours get a run week to week. It's the Dolphins turn this week

Some are eyesores (this one) and some look pretty good. The Sharks and Tigers are the best looking ones in my opinion

Some return dates of note on nrl.com:
Savage - R8 - think it was originally expected to be earlier
TPJ - R5 - Was round 4
Andrew Davey - Indefinite with concussion
Both of the above are important at Bulldogs with their lack of MIDs
Hynes -R3 (Moley saying R5, will see)
Elliott - TBC - Groin
Dunn - R4-6, was expected earlier, now the same timeframe as Luki
Lane - Indefinite - Given it seems at least as serious as Savage who is R8, could be great news for both Doorey and Carty
Arrow - R3
Sele - R3
Host - R23 (they must mean R3)
Tatola - R3
Going to see a really different pack for Souths next round.
JDB - R3
JWH - R3
Lodge - R7
Surprised if Radley plays this week, Roosters are normally very conservative with head knocks.
Talau was just leg cramps, no concern for this week

Word out of the Shire(Clarkey's league column) is that Nicho isn't back until round 5, make of it what you will.
