NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 46 - You say which fantasy group is at the top? I Can't Believe It's Not Butters

The sum total of his attacking stats over 11 games?

1 TA, 1 LBA, 2 offloads, 13 TBs.

Would be a proper gun with his base if he added a bit more of an attacking game.

The ploddiest plodder that ever did plod, he's been fantastic.

The refs have got a tough gig. Made much tougher by the media.

It’s like commentators and journos are instructed to generate controversy by focusing on the refs mistakes, and carrying on. It’s like it sells more papers and clicks on the internet, because people are idiots and can’t accept someone has a different opinion to them, so they must use the internet to argue whilst ingesting ads.

I swear I don’t have a tin foil hat

Seems as if Sanity has prevailed - not a hip drop at all

I mean sanity prevailing would’ve been not ruining a contest for no goddamn reason in the first place, but I suppose not ruining two games doubling down on awful bullshit is the best to hope for from these clueless cunts

Lenui out for 2-6 weeks after having surgery on a ruptured testicle, ouch.

yeah I've got my finger on the trigger... still has a high BE this week.
I don't mind the idea of a Kodi to Kalyn trade

Yep, that’s rough.

I’ve been thinking long and hard about this trade haha.

Something keeps making me reverse it though

At least once a game Munster glares at Loiero and throws his arms at frustration the he’s missed his assignment in attack. Watching him closely, he has no sense of attack at all. He picked up a few passes in loose play and most second towers would’ve run (well, someone like Bird would) - Loiero looks like he panics and thinks “I shouldn’t have this so I’ll throw it to someone else”

Just looking at Yafss, 28 people traded out Haas this week. Ouch.

It's a trade I have pencilled in if KP doesn't get selected for Origin.
Kodi has a low BE and should close the gap with Ponga, unless Ponga goes bonkers the next 2 rounds

So I think my rank reflects 3/197 but I dunno for sure

Very confident that this is true.
I can't recall seeing any significant rank boosts for looped in players (even when they may appear to not be added into your current score, it seems the ranking system has already adjusted for their addition)

Host to Ponga as a straight swap seems illegal

Fuck Aaron Pene.

Enjoy the weekend lads.

Honestly I'm not sure I can do both.

Reece Walsh the only player charged for a....charge (of the shoulder variety). Fine free to play next week.

Yip, can confirm it is the case.
I have been calculating my total score (including loop) by the rankings tab or taking my current total score minus my score at the end of the previous round.

Yeah it’s probably one that’s worth waiting on, although Ponga is someone who could go for a single digit or a ton at any moment.

Yep I’m holding Ford as well at this stage, unless he somehow becomes Tapine after a drink or two.

Or Tohu if I’m hammered
