NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 36 - At the going down of the sun

Currently have 3 players playing over the next 3 games.

Gonna be a tough rank drop.

If I had Robson too, I'd probably be trading Grant now before he loses anymore cash.
Tohu has tended to go well against the Storm (most recently; 54, 71, 76), but lower minutes last week combined with a highish BE would probably spook me to wait a week on him.

Depending on your team make-up, trades used, I'd be tempted to pivot to Fifita for at least 1 extra game and comparable scoring

There will always be a constant crop of newcomers who get swayed by his “NRL Fantasy Pro” tag and branding. Hell, people used to treat Lonescout like a Fantasy God because he was somewhat official with articles on NRL.com. But people soon work out that the guy acting like a guru comes 7000th or thereabouts every single year and its clear they don’t know what they are talking about.

Give him a break mate, he works massive hours and spends thousands to get his consistent results each year
If anything people here need to lift their game if they want to be good.
Some people need to start taking things serious for once, it's not a laughing matter
XXXX donations, coffee and drinks chat and page 51 gifs can only get you so far

Tatola listed to return round 9 is the big problem isn't it?

Yeah he’s not a fantastic option, but probably making the best out of a worse scenerio. There is a big price gap before any worthwhile tradeup and cashdowns are slim.

Ah yep. Tatola. Also Liam Knight and Havili to return? Do they jump back in?

Knight, probably not but Havili yes.

Tigers singing from the rooftops they have upgraded and extended Bula's contract. Let's ignore the fact that it was an automatic clause written into every juniors contract if they make the top 30. Pascoe at his finest. What an absolute rabble you blokes are. Move them to Perth or piss them off. I've had it with this board.

Yeah so not without risk with two middles returning. I mean Host was a risk too, but no one could’ve predicted 25 minutes for a starting edge without injury

Next weeks problem

Not if Arrow goes to edge and MCK or Host drop out

I think they should have switched it up, with Anzac day being a Tuesday they should have just had 1 game on the day.

Is Manu on for guaranteed 70 plus score people confident getting him with 64 BE and no idea how Walker situation plays out next week?

I was promised a banner so anything less and I will be disappointed

However would settle for 70+

Last Boy Scout reference! Winner

Just FYI, mtb was probably referencing the old ARL Friday night football ad (which just also happened to appear in last boy scout)

Hoping for 60+

Basing getting him off the fact that I don`t think the Roosters would drop Walker for anything less than 3 weeks.

Could be very wrong.

100%

Plus I don’t have a gun CTR and Bird is boring.
I’m so far behind it doesn’t really matter, oh and Manu is kinda good looking

Like Hosking, it’s just one extra trade, if it doesn’t work just jump off

I was a bit worried about Manu being a case of small sample sizes and that he's due a regression (we only have 4 games at 5/8 and 11 games at FB to base all the excitement on) so I thought I'd look up his fantasy stats from the World Cup last year.

I couldn't find his numbers for individual games, but I could find that he averaged 70.4 across the tournament + a 68 in the mid-year test against Tonga.

Just makes him even more tempting.

Didn`t realise how many people on here are from NZ until that talk about game times.

Here I am complaining about late games in QLD when the game only starts at 10pm there.

Haven't seen him discussed much, but the last 4 rounds Ray Stone played:

54 mins
50 mins
49 mins
54 mins

Scores haven't really followed (19, 27, 32, 39), but you kinda think mid-30s should be the norm with those sort of minutes at 314k. Anyone interested?

Yes, I'm very much in the weeds trying to make a trade work now that I've avoided Host hahah

I don’t think Manu nessecarily has to beat his BE to be worth the trade, if he goes around 50, he drops like 10-15k maybe? If I missed out on a gun CTR score to pinch pennies like that, I wouldn’t call it a win.
