NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 54 - 11 players is enough

I've got Harris, Horse, Ford, Reynolds, and Garrick to come. Time for the PODs to stand up!

Do wonder about Ford's minutes with Warriors getting back to full strength

Uh I'm 7c/346 and thought I was doing okay...

Yep just looked at Yaffs and I am indeed 70 points behind a par score. Fuck me dead y'all must have just gotten every monster score!

No JDB, Moses, Brown, Drinky, Luki, or Granville will do that I suppose.

Neither of those guys for me and I’m sitting at 291/5c. Still waiting on 11 points from Thursday so 302 if adding those in

Bang on YAFSS average but only running 10 this week. Let’s hope the other byes bear more fruit

he's had 2 weeks off he'll be chomping at the bit to rip in....imo if he's going well on the field he'll play 80 mins

(C)ook, Harris, Horse, Ford, Johnson, Crossland, Ponga, Koula to go.

Wow, good luck Mulvy

I also feel like being average in the byes is bad. If you’ve planned well enough there’s no way you should be even or behind in the 8 ball.

Depends if you get Fantasy or not. See, I don’t get Fantasy so I traded Granville to Cook

386/6c so far but gonna crash from here with only Ponga, Crossland and Horsburgh to go.

It still remains to be seen if this was good or bad.

Just noticed how the match notes thing works on footystats. Outstanding work MTB, have a beer on me

It will be so helpful in the future when you look back and think, why did that guy get a dud score that week? Was he injured/hooked/playing needled up/etc

Most likely everyone will end up similar scores this round. It would be interesting for round 19 when we run out of trades.

from rd. 20 we get 8 extra trades so no problem

I have played him for way too many shit scores for this to work out in my favour now. Cook would need a banner Its easy to get Fantasy in hindsight, but two days ago I was convinced Lolo would be back and Cook suddenly appearing for R13 was the panacea to my woes. Sometimes I think I play Fantasy because i’m addicted to chaos and I hate myself

Some savant has 707 with Horse & Miller to go..... They get fantasy, we all suck

On 288/5

SJ(c), Tohu, Horse, Tatola, Host, Ponga left

Bird my only score below 50 so far but missed quite a few of the highs (Drinkwater, Luki, JDB - not counting Brown/JMK as Moses and Robson scored more)

I'm at 438/7c once Niko is looped in, with Harris, Tapine, SJ, Garrick and Ponga to go.

Not going to bother grabbing an extra edge, was tempted by Carty and Olakau'atu, but seems foolish to chase 13 this week at the risk of playing less than 17 next week (It would make me have 4 on the bye).

I might've been tempted by Koloamatangi if he had returned last week.

R13 seems like a hold position round, and see how the remaining major and minor byes shake out

It is awesome for sure.

A question for MTB;
Is it worth posting a second note to a match event when more information is available?

E.g Bird - Commentary indicated a tactical substitution, but substitution may have been precautionary as he had missed the previous match due to knee soreness. Bird had an elongated warm down period on the bike following the substitution, and anecdotal reports that this includes physio tests on his knee.

I messed up not putting Hopgood at EDG or bench. Now only 1 MID spot left so can't get Tohu and Tatola. Maybe that's a good thing

Just a few minutes of one game, buying him for the season.

May start still also.

I wouldn't if Mann makes the team.
