NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 26 - Return of the HosKing

Bateman subbed off the last 20 minutes, im guessing due to lingering injury he took into game?

Probably added some mins to someone that wouldnt normally be there

Dog shit gang checking in

I don’t think there’s anything I can do to fix it easily either. Just too many average players and no stand outs

Yes but

He has barely been tested defensively - We all know is attack is fine, it was the same at the Warriors (Better now though), his negative has always been his defense

This is true. I know the Broncos took down Penrith the first week but I am waiting to see them play a Melbourne/Roosters/Souths who will test him with the high ball and defensively which was always his weakness for the Wars. Probably biased as a non owner and maybe he has improved those parts of his game but I feel like he will get low scores against the top teams.

That’s rough lad. Fantasy is a brutal game. I try and be process based rather than outcome based when evaluating myself as a fantasy player. Blore out is probably the right call with the info you had, horrible outcome. Sadly those ones sting but take solace in this if you can

Well done to everyone killing it. I’m middle of the pack this week I think at 12C/710. Need Mahoney to help me out. If he scores under 50 he’s gone when I can swing it

Oof!  This is the type of scenario that would seriously make you want to quit.  Tough luck there Teeth.

Haha, thanks chaps. No quitting as I will try to rejoice in my new-look 17 next week. But it's hard to enjoy it tonight.

Worst thing about it is it never made sense in my head to drop a bench forward, that hadn't really done anything wrong yet, and if anything, was one of the better performers in the Tigers so far. So I've admitted in the past that it is a Fantasy thing, but I just really can't stand coaches who fuck around for the sake of fucking around. Much respect for the teams that just name the players they intend to play, and play them bar last minute necessary changes.

He'll definitely have his 30s and odd low score in tough games.

Owners riding the wave now though, thats fantasy i guess. The draw for broncos always looked good.

We'll capitulate to the raiders next week.

Wonder how many people actually have Isaako. Dude just cannot stop delivering.

Will SJ, Ford, Alamoti, Preston see a rank rise tomorrow do we think?

My issue for this round anyway are my ‘guns’ underperforming eg Moses, Tedesco

And other gun options going massive eg Cook Grant Cleary

Don’t have some highly owned players like Walsh or Turbo either

Just a bad week

korosiau is out for me next week, hes been atrocious, only been slightly better than the numpty hodgson I traded out for him,

don't really have the bridge to get a GUN hooker so might just run Tannah boyd there,

Pretty solid drop for Null too. Ouch. 7 points?

I am shocked BMM didn't get 50+ this week since I traded him. A pleasant surprise.

Way too many 30s in my team this week. 705/13c

SJ, Alamoti, Preston and Ford to go.

What was the reason for Carrigans dud score? A trade next week?

I was watching him closely as a new owner and he jumped from 32 up to 48 in the last 5 minutes or so when he only seemed to make a handful of tackles whilst missing 2

Broncos smashed the tigers so he only played half the game and had to do minimal defense

Tigers were bad and he had an easy night while we scored tries. Didnt come back for a second stint, just rested
