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

NRL Late Mail: Round 8
Roosters v Dragons, Tuesday, 4.05pm at Allianz Stadium

Roosters: No further changes on game day after Terrell May was replaced on the bench by Naufahu Whyte on Monday. With Sam Walker relegated to NSW Cup, Joseph Manu has been moved to five-eighth and Luke Keary will play halfback. World Cup winner Angus Crichton makes his comeback and will fill the hole left by Nat Butcher's suspension while Sitili Tupouniua also returns on the bench. Former Eel Nathan Brown was the last man omitted on Monday and will look ahead to Magic Round for a possible club debut.

Dragons: Anthony Griffin has made a late change with Michael Molo promoted to the starting side, Jaiyden Hunt joining the bench and Zane Musgrove going back to 18th Man. With Jaydn Su'A sidelined by a shoulder injury, Ben Murdoch-Masila returns to the pack after playing NSW Cup in Round 7. Moses Mbye will start at hooker after the Red V had a late change to their hooking rotation last week with Jacob Liddle listed on the bench.

Putting the word out there now, if anyone feels like they want the stress of managing a second team. Let me know!

Any of the Mods here would be ideal mate, pretty trustworthy bunch imho.

I am sure we are all rooting for you to win it all.

Ok maybe not the ones who are also at the top

Oh and good luck in our H2H battle of the PODS today...could be close.

Just traded Manu in but then saw the replay of the time he feigned a calf injury so the defence stopped, then he took off and it led to a try. Was going to reverse the trade but if he can get me a 55+ I’ll forgive him.

Already have that other spud.

Pretty unlucky typo given L is a fair way away from N on the keyboard. 30 min a good effort too. Well done.

The cow we all looking for perhaps. Or another IKatoa slow burn

Settled on EKatoa and Loiero to Manu and Lawrie. No value in Lawrie but should do a job for the byes. Not 100% sold on it, but couldn't pull the trigger on Horse this far out.

Quirk? Man? Thy? Forty? What could the possible typo be?

Hope everyone's having a great day and can make some time to catch both games!
Live rank of 4th overall - still not good enough for 1st in the FOG haha.
Hoping to cling on a top 50 rank with only Bird and Manu playing today.
Had Host with his 5 in there but Hynes as captain was a good way to balance that out.

Used to spend hours reading the forum + playing around with trades back in the day but never had atop 1% finish from memory. It's bloody good fun being at the top end - can't wait for lockout!

That would be an amazing outcome! If he locks down a roll, it means I can ride a few I.Katoa price rises and then flip him for someone who helps over Origin. 

The kid sure has the talent to hold a spot.
