NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 60 - Keep your paws off our players Billy and Freddie

If he had this game in round 4, no one would be batting an eye about it.

He was almost as bad last week. Non existent when his team needed him to step up in the 2nd half.

Missed it anyway. Muppet.

I wish I didn’t, because they still dunno what they actually are

Wow he’s even missed 2 easy kicks as well.

Reynos making origin

The only two times I've owned [and] captained Hynes he gets 60 or less.

Well, whatever the defender does, if the player with the ball gets injured in the knee / leg during a tackle, that's a hip-drop.

Don't even think this was one. Unless I saw a bad angle, didn't look like Welch landed on his legs at all. Sure the tackle caused Hunt to get in an awkward position with his legs, but Welch didn't put pressure on them (unless the pressure can be "indirect"?)

I didnt even see it.

Just funny how the hip drop problem basically disappeared a few weeks ago

Is it safe to come out yet?

Reynolds has shown he can win big games. Hynes hasn't even won a post season NRL game as a half.

A sensible take?

You pick the guy for the last 2 years not the last 2 weeks

Reckon he might go a bit better when his middles aren’t Oregon Kaufusi, Royce Hunt, and Hamlin-Uele

He’s young and could be something great, Dally M player of the year, and he’s been in the NSW setup for a few years waiting for this moment.

Reynolds is an experienced game manager but a tier below rep standard and hasn’t been looked at for half a decade. 

Can make more of a case for Moses but I’d back in the guy you were backing until two weeks ago

Scorers just gave up in the last 10 mins it seems. Should be decent updates for Grant and Hynes, especially that fucking TA.

54 with a 76 be and missing a bunch of upcoming games. Unlucky Hynes owners except for Matt of course, fuck that guy

Really bad timing for Loiero to have his dud game, gunna have to eat his second price drop next week aswell

He’s surplus to my R16 EDGs (Bateman and Preston) but then would be real useful in R17 with both those mentioned on bye so it’ll be a tough decision

I suppose if Bird is fit R17, could slot Bird/Lem in EDG for 1 week if necessary

How dare you come in here talking sense. The last game is all that matters.

So it seems Schrödinger’s Nicho is a thing now, Hynes is either the best player in the game or incapable of leading a team depending on which narrative fits mattnz’s fantasy team

Weird, I am on the same score I was last night, without any players in that game.

Still inside the top 1000!!! Four inc (C) to come, LFG!! Please no monday night captain curse
