NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 26 - Return of the HosKing

Might bank me 70-80k in 2 weeks if he scores well. And hopefully some decent points.
If things change he could also be a long term option scoring as he has been.

Teeth Eater wrote:As part of the lost files, I did actually pen a full summary last night but in a wild moment just ended up scrapping the whole post. Wasn't into the tone of it. Whilst being sympathetic to Teddy and his concussion, I had assessed that in terms of points scored / value lost / games played, he probably now ranks as the worst purchase in Fantasy I have ever made. Would never imagine I'd be saying that about Teddy.

I was also trying to wrap my head around it too. People say you don't lose anything if you don't sell, which I kind of understand. If I hold him all season (which I 100% intend to do), I'm technically not losing the 200K that he will lose by the time everyone else picks him up. But also, if someone (let's call them Craig) buys the player I have, that has lost 200K, for 200K less than I bought said player, that theoretically means that Craig now has 200K worth of value somewhere else in his team that I don't have, does it not? So whilst I have not sold Teddy for 200K less than I bought him, theoretically, by comparison, I am technically 200K worst off than Craig, am I not? Assuming that elsewhere, Craig has made similar/identical choices to me. For example, if Craig had started with Harry Grant when I started with Teddy.

Actually, rather than add tonight's summary onto this, I might leave this as a single post. There are countless more smarter minds than me on this forum, so curious to know if my thinking is correct, or if I just can't really wrap my head around this scenario properly.

Firstly who is Craig? And secondly is Craig the guy who's been rotating his centres  (HSS, ITT, and Alamoti) and got it wrong every week?

I think about the other options I was considering(Warbrick and Miller were locked into my team). Could Drinky maintain went he did at the end of last year. For the longest time, I did have him in my team, glad I didn’t go in this direction. Turbo. Round 2 bye put me off. Walsh, not available round 1. Savage. Injured preseason. HTF. Historically mediocre at fullback. Did not see how he started playing out as it has. Sloan was never in consideration. I’m sure I had fleeting thoughts about starting with Trell, as well as Perham. Those were all the players I had, at one point, in my team, but ultimately, the deciding factor for me to start with Teddy was that the signing of Cheese was going to make the Roosters go up another level. Silly me for thinking he was going to be a 60 minute player who would do what he did at the Storm and whatnot. I haven’t been able to watch a lot of game this year, and I feel I’m just rambling now, it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact reason Ted has been his usual slow self, and I didn’t see the game Thursday, but it seems they were starting to click? Idk.

Far out. I just remembered Ponga was another one I thought of for a minute, then I recalled his concussion history and was like nope.

Thanks for reading this rambling post and enjoy the games today.

Definitely hasn't been getting it wrong every week. Craig makes very few mistakes. He played ITT and Almoti this week, for what it's worth. Get on board, if it's not too late.

Any thought of setting up a loop?

Went to check out my mate's new place and their neighbour has a feijoa tree.
They're a bit tougher to find this side of the Tasman so will definitely be making some return visits.

I will smash bags of those things at a time.

In fantasy news - might actually be able to watch a bit of the first game today. Lessgo Turbo and Miller and if I were to start a motorbike gang we'd be the Daly Deathriders.

We have a large feijoa tree in the garden but it has been affected by guava moth for the last two years. Once it's back on form, I'll let you know and you can have a bag.

For chips, they'll always be crisps for me. Growing up in the UK, there was more variety of crisp type. Monster Munch, Quavers, Skips, Wotsits, Brannigans, McCoys. I did love a NikNak - like a NZ twisty but in better flavours like Rib 'n' Saucy, Nice 'n' Spicy. For now, I make do with Heartland cheese and onion. That's right - not chives, onion!
