NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 25 - Take it to the betting thread you degenerates

Looking at the trends, ITT should score 37-38 tonight.

I'd probably go ITT. HSS maybe has a higher floor (20ish v 12ish) but ITT seems more likely to get a try, TBs, TO, whatever extras?

Yeah good point really. I wonder if Wighton out improves HSS's chances though.

that's the question isn't it.

Your answer is based on your risk vs reward bias.

Me, i'd play Warbrick and hope he snags a try. Worse case is you lose 10 points overall, but on the upside he could bust out 45 or more.

HSS is still risky and defo against Panthers.

BMM ceiling is 30.

Your choice.

I'd definitely choose Warbrick over those two (Technically have with him in 3rd WFB spot) and I'd probably play HSS over the BUM who I have dumped like a crazy ex

In terms of taking Doorey's 30 tho, I have taken the safe option of the 30 over HSS who could punish me, but is just ask likely to score sub 15 against the Panthers based on form

Just came out of a 3hr catatonic daze prompted by someone asking if they should loop in BMM over Doorey's 30

I wouldn't be game to loop him in for a 15 at this stage (and I have him)

Correct which happens at pretty much every game that the home team is playing! I often hear it watching various games of all teams on Kayo when I watch.

Doesnt make it right tho does it??

Imagine how it must feel to get booed every time you do your job. Bet you'd be just fine with it right?

I actually have mad respect for anyone who ends up a ref, must have ice in their veins

Wouldn’t be surprised if he beat that BE at fullback with career average of 63 excluding low min game

Latrell other option also has high BE. Turbo probably a sell over Origin due to bye schedule. Maybe Edwards is the best option  

Speaking of Edwards, I was looking at WFB options earlier in the week and couldn't help but notice his stats this year;

- 8 tackles for 1 missed (across 3 games - not having to do much defensive work, but a net positive isn't a bad thing for a FLB).

- 1T, 1TA, 1LB from 3 games, all pretty low numbers that are slightly below his 2022 averages

- 8.7 TB's per game - of all players who have played at least 2 games, only Miller (8. is averaging higher - comparitively 4.5 last year

- 250 MG per game - always a stand out in this area, currently up from 218 last year.

- OFH, KD pretty much on par with last year

Fantasy average so far of 55.7 against 3 competitive teams in the Broncos, Rabbitohs and Eels

It's probably just a little fantasy hot streak (he's done it before), but I'm interested to see if he develops into one of those random players that just went under the radar and suddenly somehow becomes an $800k WFB must have. Can winning a Clive Churchill medal give you super powers?

Glory glory, have a 24hr rest might be on the cards later...

I will happily admit trading out the BUM this round for Ford has been highly therapeutic.

Take Cartys 33 or trade Boyd to Hosking?

Will be out tonight.

However I will make the effort to jump on here to witness some more ref bashing.

I`m a bulldogs fan so most of the time we suck enough for the ref not to matter.

I assume you have HOK cover.

Listening to the NRL Guru podcast today he mentioned he has heard whispers out of Panthers long-term Hosking gets R EDG and Martin switches to L EDG, he also thought Salmon will play L EDG tonight and Sorensen will resume his Middle/EDG bench role.

So interesting if that turns out not to be wishful thinking...

I traded in Hosking for the 'excitement' factor.

please note: I do not know the veracity of Guru's intelligence gathering.

Current set up:

Centres: ITT, Alamoti
17th: Boyd
18th: Warbrick

Stone, BMM, HSS available for the loop. Going Stone based on opposition at this stage.

Thoughts? Anything you'd switch up?

I would pray Warbrick gaps it

Nah that's about it, would say it looks good but.....looks about as good as mine

Edit : I think everyone is hoping Warbrick can hit 30 so no decisions have to be made

Think you could do with some better players. That’s rough

I am expecting the Panthers to really rip apart the Raiders defensive left edge tonight, Cleary/Hosking/Critter/To'o could have a field-day.

I might just not watch that game as someone who owns zero panthers
