NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 45 - Fanatical Times

Huh? Where’s Bird this week?

Not in MTBs team. Manu + Alamoti is gonna hurt vs. the Manu + Bird teams.

Thought I'd share a little insight into my weekly rankings. Key takeaway being that you don't need to be great week in week out (although that definitely helps!!), just consistently average.

Round 1: 1571
Round 2: 2361
Round 3: 2071
Round 4: 2095
Round 5: 434
Round 6: 1065
Round 7: 6427
Round 8: 1706
Round 9: 917
Round 10: 3520

As you can see, only the two rounds inside the top 1000 for the week, balanced by only having two outside the top 3000.

I've made plenty of mistakes so far this season (captain both Hopgood and Hynes for sub 40 point efforts) but for the most part have been able to restrict the damage.

There's still plenty of season left to work on that consistency and to reduce the negatives week in week out. I expect a lot less variance from a lot of the teams on here, now that a plethora of trades have been made to right wrongs. Things are only going to continue to get tight at the top of the table.

Let's push for a NRLFF Top 10 black out!!

Pfft Alamoti. I'm taking Talau to war this week

Niko outscored Nicho too

I'm fully expecting Alamoti to be dropped soon. Just hopefully not this week. He's been awful.

Yeah looks like some fiddling to some scores. Hynes 37 (-1) and Lemuelu 60 (+1).

Hopefully find Hosking's TO for the 69

Talau 16 (+4). Need double that next week mate. Might chuck the C on him to be sure.

Where are you seeing these?

Edit: Sorry, read that as Hosking did go to 69.

Yeah same, just edited my post. 60 for Null is nice. That's another kick in the dick for Hynes captained though.

The way rankings are going with forum members you'll need to be Top 100 to make League 1, no gaurentee after that. That's insane !!

Had a look on the Dragons forum and they all want Bird to get dropped. *That* would spice things up, but they're not coaching the team, or even in frame to replace Hook if he's fired.

I imagine that fan forum is in disarray at the moment. Read something on Twitter and the comment section was full of hate. 

Par for the course for most comment sections though

I liked his little kick just before halftime

Could have easily bounced back into the field of play for one of the 3 Tigers to pick up and fall over the try line.

Not smart

Who would kick goals then????

I’d chuck Lomax at FB at this point.

Smart guy from England told me he’s basically a touch footy player and it’s true. Nice coming into the attacking line. But can’t catch, can’t defend, can’t make good decisions, lacks confidence. He’s maybe the worst player in the NRL right now
