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

Players are often admired for running around at 100% for 80 mins, pointing and shouting a lot. You need that and it's going to keep your team competitive but generally it's not going to win you many games when it gets to the pointy end of the season when everyone is going 100%.

Players have different playing styles, skill sets and abilities and lambasting one very excellent player for not being more like another very excellent player is a bit of a pointless exercise imo. Maybe Latrell would be better if he went 100% all of the time but he probably wouldn't. Trying to turn a player into someone else rarely works.

So expect Katoa to go 60+ and Warbrick to get a hatty.

So if my opponent has Katoa in the loop, that is already added to his score?

What’s wrong with Alamoti?

Well said, the “selective outrage” in our society has always been a joke, we all know what the one thing the Mitchell’s, Fifita’s and Khawaja’s have in common……
No different on here really is it though?
Watched some casual/blatant racism on here last weekend get less call-outs and downvotes than a positive post from Mattnz.
The one thing I found funny/ironic was the Erin Molan defence…
“It’s not racist because it’s an inside joke on racism”.
Anyway thanks for pointing it out.
