Case in point Loiero and Chee-Kam

Good point. I mean, you get two points for palming a bloke in the chest and running sideways from him ffs!

Wait til 4pm, but wouldn’t surprise me to see Matto back to starting edge with one of Carty/Davey benched

Shift to mid, Hopgood off, Davey/Carty on to edge

Loving the Bob Jane references, the love is alive

I think there's a decent chance that happens but it'd most likely be Carty on the bench. Davey had the right edge even before Lane went down (in fact he got the right edge as soon as he signed with Parra)

My guess is that they play Davey for 80 mins on the right, and Carty for 60 mins on the left, with Matto playing the other 20 (or potentially Doorey on the bench)

And if Davey were 220k fair enough, but he's 470k. That's what, priced at a 33 average?

So if he can average 40 for you (which is his full game 2RF average) then you'll hold him for 8 weeks to make 90k. And then trade him out again.

That's killing an earning spot, locking up 470k, and losing two trades. In return you get 40 points over the byes and the joy of hoping your plodder doesn't get hooked.

Bryce Cartwright has been subbed off zero (0) times this year

Every time he has started he has played the entire game

Every time he's been on the bench he's been subbed on after ~30 minutes and then played out the game

The chance of him starting, and then sharing game time is not 0% but its pretty low and I would not bet on it happening

Really not sure what to do about Hosking.

Panthers don`t rate him as much as us Fantasy players.

Ivan Cleary is 100% a Sorenson owner.

Yeah I reckon carty plays 80 on edge for Lane.

Cherry picking in the extreme, take it with an entire shaker of salt, but he averages 51 when playing 2RF for the Eels.

In fact, his last three games in the second row for the Eels have netted fantasy scores of 51, 52, and 53. So presumably we can expect a 54 this week, and a 66 by R26.

This fills me with less joy, tactical reasons

I remember when it came out that Damien Cook I think it was played Fantasy.

I wonder how many other players/coaches do.

At the very least they should have an awareness of the stats that we follow and attribute points to.

SJ posted some stuff on his socials when Wahs did some school visits and highlighted that some boys said to him ‘cheers for the fantasy points’ hahaha

Pretty sure DCE openly came out a few years ago too and admitted he played. I vaguely remember Cook also.

Sharks lock Cameron McInnes will be sidelined for up to four weeks after suffering a broken hand in his team’s win over the Sea Eagles on Sunday.

That came out of nowhere

Didn't Cook have a ghostwritten fantasy column for a bit. I think DCE admitted to playing. Might have been SC rather than NRL. But I'd guess a lot play.

There's a who bunch of EPL players that play fantasy EPL. Bamford talks about it regularly, Saka is apparently pretty serious.

Exception might be Aston Villa players. The game has a hard lockout so all trades need to be made 90 mins before the first game. A couple of seasons ago people knew someone at Aston Villa wasn't playing half his teammates had traded a player out. The manager cracked the shits about team leaks.
