NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 62 - Pie round chaos (please don't banh mi for that pun)

1.5% top 1k with the C on Manu

Oh really, interesting. I don't have Turpin, as I was unsure on the timeline, went for Cogger instead due to knowing he will play until R20 odd.

Five players in the next game. This is my time to get myself into the top 10,000! Hopefully!

Who’s gonna go bigger - Bateman or Hopgood??

Roosters win, Manu + Ponga combine for 160ish, off to Education Ball where I'm nominated for Teacher of the Year, free drinks, all is well.

Next message will likely be at 5:30pm extremely hungover, lamenting a loss, the numerous Roosters injuries, and subsequent shitty fantasy scores. See you then folks.

Great start to the round, 312/5.

Love that Turpin rarely misses tackles, has only missed 6 this season. What you want in your tackle bot.

Bateman will play 80. But could be close.

Owning the top 3 players in this game is nice, with Manu, Ponga and Nat Butcher.

Got Fainu, Russell and Hopgood in the next game so not expecting much from 2/3 of those guys, just want 30s if possible and a 50+ from Hopgood and I'm good.

Gotta be happy with a 41 for Crossland who was a grudge hold

He could teach Mitch Kenny a few things.

Will Matto go OK at 6?

Manu and Ponga nice and all but basically owned by all. Actually lost a few ranks with only them in that game, top 30 probably all have Turps. Just keeps on getting extra mins every week

Thinking about making a 3rd trade this week and going HEdwards to NAS now that Edwards is ruled out.

Worth going down to 4 trades to do that? I already sold Ford and Billy Smith to Nat Butcher and Ponga so the first 2 trades have paid off big

How good is it seeing Ponga back at fullback where he belongs!

Probably lesser than if he played middle?

I'm in the same boat. Looking at Hedwards to JoKing or NAS leaving 4 trades. Erring King with so few trades and NAS carrying injury, but the cash saved is tempting.
