NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 50 - Teddy time

I mean if Tino shits the bed it will be down to 4. But Carrigan and Teddy have gone ballistic so why can’t Tino

I have three of them plus two that are likely (Hynes and Hopgood) and Walsh who is less likely, and not trading any of them except Hopgood if named.

Moses was out and had a surplus of r13 halves. Needed a r13 mid and the opportunity was there

Obviously backfired massively now with the injury. How good’s fantasy

Matto and Davey out decimates my rd13 squad

How many numbers can you get to if you use the 4 trades next week?

Hmmm I mean for next week it shouldn’t really matter since the bench is useless so they can sit there and chill I guess.

If Hopgood and Paulo play Origin and Matto is injured who are we buying from the Eels? Ofa?

That second game actually helped to undo a lot of the damage of the first, I gained back most of the ranks that I lost from the B. Smiths

Also, Cheese being out 4-6 weeks is actually sort of a blessing in disguise, I can just get rid of him and be done with him forever (and I have the money to trade him for Tohu Harris in one trade).

PS: Fun fact about Russell, Parra are 4-1 with him in the team and 1-6 without him, so BA was stupid to have ever dropped him.

Cheese is out 4-6 weeks?? Or hypothetical.

Gah, rough night for you, sorry mate.

You've really missed the obvious one here.

In that event? Absolutely. A lot of ifs though.

I could still field 13 if I use 4 trades

Never mind, not confirmed yet but suspected. I'm probably still selling regardless since I can get Tohu in a single trade from him.

"Suspected broken thumb for Brandon Smith, scans to assess in coming days. If break confirmed often return to play range is 4-6 weeks (can vary with fracture type/specific location). If surgery is required doesn’t always mean maximum recovery time, can speed up early rehab"

20 from feels like a win. I’m going to add his score to Teddy’s and divide by two….very solid from the lads

Given B Smith is showing 14 for me, and B Smith is showing 14

I'll take 20 and 19 as a massive win (despite Teddy dropping 6 points)

Teddy has gone up 5 points? Looking at footystats the scores have changed slightly again. The BSmith twins are both on 19 now.

My mistake, I'd actually just been checking Teddy's score in Sportsdeck (where he's currently on 89)

702/9c

Dropped 11,000 ranks on live ranking. Down to 8500ish. Yep, I’m going that poo

Just got home from the game. Fuck it must be frustrating to be a Parra fan. They were unbelievable tonight, but then they turn out some absolute dross when they verse bottom teams. Don't mind losing when we're so thoroughly and objectively outplayed, it's still only round 11 and I think that's a loss Souths needed after winning 6 on the trot. Feels like anybody can beat anyone on their day this year, it's an even comp

Fantasy wise, I traded in Matto over Hopgood which is turning out to be a royal stinker lol

Lol - I actually thumb down this post, was meant to be thumbs up, sorry!

Always good to celebrate a win

Parra were great tonight, will defo be in the finals this year - Have to think Panthers are favourites if GF were played right now, but this year is so wide open

That’s ok haha, I’ve been getting enough thumbs down from what I’ve heard, not that I’ve noticed. I’m not the MVP of this forum nor do I have the time to be. Haters gonna hate,I don’t give a fuck

7c/542 for me (with updates seems to be 7c/562), though I'm only playing 16 this week unless VTW is a late inclusion. I brought in Johnston to replace AKP as my 3rd (well technically 4th but I've been playing him for the last month because one of my other three are always out) WFB and 50 was a good score given the Bunnies got well beaten.

On the train back from the game myself... marvellous evening of wondrous proportions.

But yes, I agree that supporting the Eels is like asking for constant but unpredictably timed kicks to your ballsack. Tonight the kicker must have had a sprained ankle and I lapped it up. Good times, though we know dark times are not far away.



As for Fantasy, in my H2H league last week Teddy was one of my unique players. This week, we both had him. As predictable as the Eels' unpredictability. But Carrigan is still a handsome, magnificent man.
