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

Bought Twal a few rounds ago and has been underwhelming. Held him for this round because well, Tigers played R16. Proceeds to produce an all time classic try - maybe a once in a lifetime moment at that. Super POD Twal, thank you.

Appreciate being put in the same bracket as Booze but I feel like a mere mortal compared to him. Will have to take a few calculated risks to try claw back his lead. Looking forward to it

Outstanding mate! About time one went your way.

Still 11 rounds to go mate, long way. You could chip away at that lead. Booze is undoubtedly set up very well though but reckon you are too.

Either way pulling for both of you guys. Good to see ET, Rhino, Green Schist still very much up amongst it too.

What a night. Twal scoring, Bateman and NAS getting into it, IPap striking back and trade-ins Manu and Hands combining for 150. Dodged JoKing and NAS, but remains to be seen if holding trades will pay off.

7/471 with Bula's update. Only dropped 170 ranks with Chynes, Preston and Oloapu to play. Hopefully enough to hold ground for the week and will consider it a big win with only 10. Hopefully 5 trades will cover me for 17 next week after origin carnage and the next couple of rounds.

Maybe the hooker situation, eg Cook back up, is a bit clearer this week.

Hands,Verrills, Havilli, Mahoney, JMK appears broken, Grant possibly

Not concerned Stimson will take a considerable amount of mins off Klees Haas?

As long as Haas actually gets the starting spot, I'm not concerned.

Only really needs to be in my 17 for a few weeks over origin anyway, after that he's just an emergency

I’ve heard rumours the pies and fried chicken aren’t as innocent as they seem

Big shout out to the English cricket selectors for dropping Ben Foakes, and allowing Bairstow's dropped catches get the Aussies back in the hunt at Edgbaston

635/11 with Hynes (c) and Oloapu left. Pretty happy with that considering only 11.9m salary cap to work with.
Definitely need to go easier on trades next year. Started 5 rounds into the season but managed to dwindle them down to 4 already.

Been trying to find my team on footystatistics team analyser but it's not showing up when I search. Anyone know why that might be? Too low ranked? Aggregated at the start of season?

Way off the pace this week. 482/10 hynes and olaupu to play.

Garrick and penis particularly disappointing.

Nah mate, anyones game
Just going to have fun and try to throw out a full team each week and see what happens
Kinda why I burnt an extra trade this week after HEdwards was out, its there to be used (next weeks brought forward) and I still have more trades than other years haha

Anyways I am not focused too much on others, plenty of time still and I dont have time/control over what they do
Look forward to seeing more fanatics doing well

Anyways enough of the niceties,

So catch me if you can:

Who knows how this plays out

Face facts Booze.
This year, while you are having all the "fun", everything you've touched has turned to gold (Fantasy wise).
You are killing it.
The Gutho call. TICK.
Turps. TICK.

Next year we will all just follow your lead.

I'm with you, hanging out with the mortals.
527/10 > Hynes (C) and Oloapu left.

currently 441/7 - hynes (c), preston, oloapu to play

I'm on 427 with the same.

Interested in your thoughts on TPJ. I've only really seen the last couple of games. How's he looking to you?

Honestly since I traded Twal in things went to shit lol. So thanks.

Also I accidentally hit the downvote and can't reverse it, my bad

he's actually been pretty consistent lately with his last 3 scores of 74, 50, 47 but his volatility always worries me will he push the envelope trying to be too eager to prove the origin selectors wrong. also he has a bye rd. 17 so if you already have a few bulldogs, sharks & wests players & you are low on trades then he may not be a good pick.
