NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 38 - Nice try, but no cigar

Started at Lock, played big minutes.
Pack got shuffled a bit after Nanai's HIA, I think he played  on the edge for a bit

This is correct, he played 26min stint at lock then came back on right before half time for Nanai HIA and played about 15mins edge. Then played 17mins back in the middle once Nanai came back on.

Hard to know what he would have played without the Nanai situation. My guess is probably just another 25min or so stint in the middle for 50min total.

As an owner I'll be nervous about his minutes every week I think.

I wish Save the Cheerleader posted more

True about being nervous but also what’s good that there was an injury and they opted to use Granville rather than a fresh Dunn. That is positive for him moving forward

Yep Payten clearly rates him and his experience at the moment, but seems destined to be temporary, hopefully it lasts another 4 weeks or so.

I’m still tossing up who to bring in. Might just go Bula

Didn’t know Tago even hurt himself. Maybe Garner to centre?

Matts team tracker does it for me

Not usually but those last few pages killed my mood a bit. Had to watch some golf vids on YouTube instead. Putting lessons by Paige.

You're milking it for all it is worth - I can see!

@Wolfking - feel free to reach out if you want an ear.

Thanks mate. Appreciate the support.

I think the Fantasy Gods really like that number. Must mean that all your players tomorrow will score zero  

I can see what you are thinking Cookie:

Double zero, right?

Like a 500yo old Oak

Latrell just carries on like a pork chop too often for my liking. Standing over injured players and giving them a spray, while someone like Tommy will forego try celebrations to check on them. Too hard not to like the guy despite playing for Manly and giving me shit fantasy scores lately.

I'm thinking Manu, Sele and Bula next week. Hopefully don't regret not grabbing Manu now if another player goes down.. or he goes large while EKatoa shits the bed again.

What's your read on Sele Rabbits21? I noticed you didn't go for Host in the end. I thought you were just too excited by the big win to care about his score in the post-match recap.

TTrbo will be named in Manly's 22-man squad Wednesday. Scans confirmed minor groin strain/adductor injury. Will need to pass a fitness test during the week.

Not sure if mentioned amongst all the mess, saw the Oates out 4 weeks one. Might hold him out of necessity if playing.

I'm thinking Sele as a straight swap for Host too. Tatola to return soon may affect him?

Also interested in a Rabbits21 opinion

Don’t care turbo is gone, he’s not gonna score well, he’s playing impaired and manly are not as good as their position

He's better than my alternatives with Grant and Haas on the pine and trading EKatoa and Warbrick next week already. Looking like a luxury I can't afford to trade him if playing.

Why does Ponga have to be so cheap. He was looking sharp too. I’m going to bring him in after the bye and I will regret it

Hmm yeah Tatola and Knight both possibly back next week. Tatola might drop a bit of cash in time for the bye if back soon. Knight hasn't played since Rd 11 last year, so not sure what effect he has the next few weeks.

I actually can’t see Knight making the team this year at all to be honest
