NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 18 - Catchy Thread Title

I might have to get some forum mandated outside time if we are going to go around in circles on a bloody winger for another 20 pages

Thats a very defeatist attitude, complaining about the score of a guy that hasn't even played yet is a new one.

Oh im as defeatist as they come. Although there is room for a slight bit of optimism haha

Watching Warriors replay at crusher on Barnett was accidental but looked horrible way head compressed awkward angle. Hope he's ok.
Also the state of Granville's barnet is a shocker

Who gives a crap if Matt picks Kiraz lol

It seems you are being far more selective than I am, caring about 1 point.

Kiraz has the same style of game as a Mansour / Too / Rapana / Nofo - probably the closest of them is Too, as he didn't need a try to put up a decent score, but none of them are averaging 10 points per week in offloads, which adds significantly to his upside.

Maybe I am but I’m not the one who said it and if there’s only 1 person to do it in the last 9 years surely that points to more selective=more realistic. Like I said I can see why/how you’ve justified the selection in isolation but these predictions aren’t isolated they’re constant.

Kiraz'a base is not comparable to To'o's. To'o's base is freakish. Half of Kiraz's games he goes under 110m, To'o has (except one injury game) never done that in his entire five-season career, and the vast majority of times goes over 200m.

I'm seriously thinking about To'o over Walsh for 35k less next week, btw. I know 2021 isn't replicable, but he was playing busted last year, didn't score many tries, and should be good for 45+. It's just whether Walsh goes full Papy....

Excuse me in advance LB, but what possessed you to pick the worst player of the four options, playing for the worst team of the four? Too many Lion Reds at Joe's Garage?

I’m just a wild dude . Can I say Matt sold me on his credentials?

Haha I’ll admit I do love a lion red

I just popped in to see the chat and it’s still going haha
I regret putting Walsh and Kiraz in the same box now
It’s just not worth any comparison, comment or criticism if this is what happens every time

Will stick to the fence again and go back to low effort memes and one liners

fair point. It’s too hot to be fucking around outside but I’m sure I can something more productive then this shit to do.

Kiraz was averaging 47 in his rookie season through to round 20 and has a career average of 2.5 offloads per game. Has increased his work rate this year, so getting more touches, which leads to higher run meters, TBs, OFs.

Excluding the 5 games Kiraz played after round 20 where he averaged 23 with a high score of 26 is genuinely hilarious to me

Anyone going to Knotfest next weekend ? I'm coming out of festival retirement.

we had a couple of years for wingers & fb's where they were tearing it up because the speed of the game was increased & a lot of these players carved it up & this benefited edge forwards as well...fantasy was becoming like sc but this year we've gone full circle where fantasy has become like it used to be where the hookers, mids & halves are the players to get

Still going eh? Hope everyone got some sleep.

Bondage or sailing convention?
Either way I hope you have your bowline sorted

Most of the bands are too heavy for my taste.

Yeah cbf reading last night and don’t want to relive it again today

He’s made the pick, it’s heroic, let’s all move on. At least until about 6pm today hahaha

You tied these posts together well.

TBF this didn’t start because he made the pick, it was the fact that everyone else was wrong

I’m glad I’m going out this arvo. Can only imagine what the forum is going to be like while Kiraz is playing
