NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 45 - Fanatical Times

my tv broke wrote:

The Broncos terminated Gagai's contract for turning up late to training. (among other minor things like weight targets in gym, but that was the final straw).

The dragons could have easily leant on 'breaching' club code of conduct/etc.

Panthers terminated Tyrone May after his ill advised instagram post (after admittedly standing by him through the court case). Broncos also fucked off Robati earlier this year in a similar scenario.


Anyway, open the shop so I can see where I finished up!!

I have 3 extra pts on the app but player totals are the same.

Gleaned from here 1pt is NULL, looking forward to figuring out the other 2!

In other news, can't fuckin buy a win in L2. Bottom of the table with only 2 wins, but coming 4th by overall. Who would want to focus on h2h

What's up with level 2 this year? You'd be coming 11th overall in L3.

Swings and roundabouts I reckon. Top few leagues are probably interchangeable. For example, in in L2 haha.

Unfortunately rooting someone who isn’t your mrs is almost par for the course for NRL. Clubs aren’t gunna sack you for that.

Boyd up 7 to 66

Dragons real issues

1.Sloan - young and still shit.
2.Feagai - young and still shit
3.Suli - not so young, notoriously lazy, shit
4.Feagai - young and still shit
5.Ravalawa - miles between his best game and worse, little bit shit.
6.Amone - Hammer wielding psycho who will pay to stay out of jail….young and still shit.
7.Hunt - Great, except when needed to carry a team of shits, and crunch time moments.
8.DeBellend- “innocent” rapist…. But actually a good player
9.Mbye - old and still shit
10.Lawrie - Standard
11.Burns - Wouldn’t get a start at any other club, shit.
12.Su’a - bit long in the tooth, best days behind him.
13.Bird - Not shit, probably not a lock either. Uses the least amount of shoulder to tackle in the NRL.

14.Sullivan - “secret weapon Sullivan”, yeah he went great…. Against the Tigers. Young and shit.
15.Molo - If he wasn’t so shit people would know he’s a convicted stalker….
16.BMM - Old, fat, shit.
17.Kerr - Will be interesting to see once he’s at the Phins, don’t think he’s shit just think he’s there.


So, in summary and as I said in pre season also…. The Dragons are shit, there’s no point blaming one person, there’s plenty of fault to go around.
That said, I would be furious if my coach was hiring the people he’s brought in. Take into account though, while it won’t be said out loud I’m sure his biggest cheerleader Hunt played a big part in bringing a lot of them there.
My 2 cents

Just like any other form of employment, it all depends on how unique and important you are to the organisation. Munster and Cheese with their off season hotel lines, Cleary breaking Covid protocols with Tik Tok episode, multiple demeanours over the years with Haas + his contract ransom he held the Broncs to last year.

If these were average or squad players they would be cut loose and made an example of. Now we look back at these incidents and barely remember them. Quickly and efficiently dealt with and brushed under the table.

It's open, Boyd shot up to 66.

Ended up with 950

Most of those issues are also pretty meaningless too

Probably the most accurate team summary I’ve read. Ever.

He's just saying what we're all thinking but the coach can't say. He's clarified today after the NRL commented on it, saying along the lines of bad calls happen, but for some reason they happen more to the Warriors. I like that he mentioned the 3 games in 11 days too, that's been rough on its own.

This one I don't fully agree with, it's almost exactly the same for Roosters and we don't hear about that side of it, Warriors 3 games in 11 days, Roosters 3 in 12 days - They both have 4 games in 18 days though

Roosters played on ANZAC Day, Flew to NZ, Flew to QLD

Thanks

Murray up a point too.

No JMK this week hurts, Granville in the starting squad *Shudder*

Hynes lost a point

Genderbender wrote:Hynes lost a point

I gained 10 points. Boyd accounts for 7, trying to figure out where the other mystery 3 came from.

Was SJ always on 67?

I really need somebody decent under $450k to pop up out of the blue come TLT. I was hoping Tatola was going to be the perfect option but don't know what's going on with him.

Potentially Crossland with Mann out for a while?
