NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 35 - Man U need to consider Joseph now

I have no doubt he is still a quality player but I don't think he comes close to the being the best fullback in the league any further.

His run meters have dropped off, he doesn't appear willing to do as much of the hard yards as he used to. He seems to look to pass before running and he seems to have lost that explosiveness that used to make him so dangerous.

The Roosters can get by with him being a ball playing full back as they have enough explosiveness especially with manu at 6 but I def think he is on the way down and could be darius like by the end of his contract

With his now well known struggles with concussion it will feel like the NRL cares more about the spectacle than the players health. Origin is like NRL on drugs so it doesn’t feel like the arena for someone like Ponga to be thrown into, talented or not

Feels a bit unfair on him but that's the way the cookie falls off the ducks back.

If he’s ok for NRL, he’s ok for Origin. 

Don’t see how you can draw a line between the two

It’s just seems a bit more feral (passionate, harder hitting) than ya run of the mill NRL game.

“ I’m sure the coach will explain at the appropriate time. But it was a deliberate move and they have a reason.”

Cryptic

From what I’ve seen Bulldogs fans want Olopu as a late in and are also screaming for Skelton (230k, centre in Fantasy) on the wing. I think I’ll be getting on Skelton if he gets a start.

His current form is a product of the Roosters team just playing like absolute shite, in reality a fullback isn't going to flourish when his team has a completion rate of under 80% in 5/6 games.

I have no doubt when/if the team picks up then so will Teddy.
