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

Slightly different, but the Tofu nickname for Tohu doesn't make sense. Those words don't sound the same.

Yes, I am a pedant.

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.

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?

Against HSS and Albert seems to good to be true

I got told off for gambling posts in here.

Let's just say, I expect a good old Panther tear up on their R EDG tonight

One of his 3 games was the Moses 1,000 km game, where he ran for 313m. The 2 stats are closely linked and one was a record, so unlikely to be representative.

I brought him in last season when he had hit 344 running meters in round 1, scoring 59, followed by 2 scores in the 20s. Not sure things have really changed from last season where all the back 5 ended up getting huge running meters out of their back end.

There wasn’t an investment thread. So I put it here?

Gambling is for losers.

Sorry, didn't mean to imply you were posting incorrectly, was just explaining why I could not embellish on my investments for tonight

But I will be very happy if Panthers win by 11.5+ and/or either Cleary or Luia score a pie

Probably going Loiero to Hosking so need to dump Trindall.

Worth going Bostock to get the extra 70k over AKP? Most likely getting AKP next week anyway.

Bostock gets me 120k in the bank rather then 50k.
