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

Thanks for all the replies guys, if I don't trade Trindall this week he is gone next week anyway (just with an extra 20k).

I do have backup for Bird, can move HTF to CTR and bring in CNK, or just straight swap for Alamoti.

Trading Trindall this week was always my preference but the cash from a Bird trade could go a long way towards Hynes soon.


Heres my current team:

R. Mahoney
P. Haas, P. Carrigan, J. Hopgood
E. Katoa, B. Cartwright
N. Cleary(C), S. Johnson
J. Bird, C. Lemuelu
H. Tabuai-Fidow, L. Miller, H. Perham

B. Trindall, J. Preston, Z. Hosking, T. Boyd
W. Warbrick, C. Nicoll-Klokstad, P. Alamoti, H. Smith-Shields

Yeah I think I am the band leader on Hosking...so blame me if it all goes pear-shaped.

I need to get a gun CTR next week, so while I was going to do that this week,
I worked out for an extra trade I can wing it on Hosking, and if he gets dropped next week, I'll trade him straight out for the CTR gun I lack.

I am really hoping he stays playing and crushes it tonight to make him 'undroppable'.

Can anybody say commentary curse ????

FWIW happy for anyone who brought him in if he goes well.

How many strikes to I get before I need to buy you a beer at a meetup?

Black Hops Pale Ale & constantly forgetting the game is on for me!

He's not all about the cocktail recipes you know.

I do have a couple of strings to my bow. I like to keep it classy but, sometimes, you gotta go dirty to keep the rabble from getting out of line. Maybe a cocktail later tonight?

How many points is Hosking on? 50?

OFH galore for Raiders...but the Panthers showing their defensive organisation. But Raiders are up for this. Could be a great game afterall.

ennis - "this would break the hearts of the raiders fans if the panthers can find points after the start they've had"

fucks sake we're 4 minutes in at nil all.

Cleary (C) , Kenny, Hosking in this one for me

How about you folks?

Mate if he goes well and gets named with Martin back he is still going to be an underpriced keeper to get on.

Or do most log off and enjoy the footy?

Sounds like a pre-emptive strike type post. Spit it out mate.

Nice work, NC

Hosking + HSS - so just watching Hosking

That was waaaayy too easy!

Tonight I won't be around because soccer season starts. My hammy is gone so I won't even play but will go to watch the team, and keep one eye on the NRL scores.

I thought u home brewed and only drank chocolate milk ?

Cleary been given a try assist...

Thought it was only in SC that they went back more than the last pass...

Nah mate - he just wanted to hang out and have a few beers with us.

Surely give Cleary a linebreak assist there

Interesting that they've given Cleary the TA, surely that'll get taken away (despite it clearly being him who set up the try)
