NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 66 - So I says to Patty, I says "F*** you C***"

Horrible. JFH has BE that he should make some cash. Never thought he was a buy but if you did I wouldn't sell this week

Was going to bring in Grant but his scoring hasn't been off the scale recently so might wait and see. Yeo can wait a bit too. Fifi might have some cash to lose, but even if he hits his BE he's not going to rocket up in price.

Had locked in Hosking and Walsh to Grant and Bateman, but now considering AFB like Random said, and Gareth suggested in my tracker. That would mean getting Ipap over Bateman this week though. And having both AFB and Tohu might be some overkill?Choices, choices.

Tohu is okay scoring wise but has been down a bit. Depending on cash and trades be would be a candidate to get in Cleary potentially.

I’m missing Cleary, MID (Yeo/AFB/JDB/Tino/Carrigan), Fifita and Moses

Leaving Moses and going DCE at nearly 200k cheaper post bye. Picking MID this week and Fifita R20

Cleary probably comes in via some combo of Lemeulu/Tohu/Hopgood/NAS depending on what I can afford

Love the honesty Loomer

I think that plan is actually decent unless you really need the extra cash from JFH.

It’s a tough one but will probably keep JFH. Just need to hope a couple of decent options pop up at CTR and WFB next week so I can get the 13 on the park

Any Aitken news yet?

Why not mate, never a bad time to get a gun in.

Although if you didn’t want to trade having Brimson as cover for Walsh this week isn’t terrible.
Boyd in for Robson if rested is fine too

Looks pretty good. I'd be a bit nervous running without centre cover, but I guess you can fix that in two weeks if you need to. Looks like you'll be three down next week (two WFB and a CTR?) anyway.

Thanks for that,yeah once again I’ve been a bit short sighted in regards to bye numbers. Might just try to get max 10 next week as I’m not sure if it’s worth a trade on another WFB or CTR to be honest. I could go Lemuelu to VTW to free up some more bank but probably not worth it for my final trade before we get our 8 extra

Thanks LB. Yeah, I've not got the balance right hey?

I thought it was a good looking team. Decent depth since you can handle a couple of big outs

Im in london, didnt bring a laptop..

Hoping for dry weather tomorrow, headed to lords

May or may not be able to get BEs updated .. we'll see. Sorry!!

Random Souths guy in the crowd?

Anyone seen the Betoota show on Paramount+ ?

(anyone actually have Paramount+ other than me?)

Ep 2 is about Super League, some wild stories about contract negotiations etc. I think in real $ terms, most players ended up being better paid from 1995 to whenever their ARL/SL contracts expired than what players are on now. And this was without player agents.

I had Paramount for the A-league, but the coverage was rubbish

Did watch yellowjackets though, but cancelled once that finished.
Other than South park they didn't really have anything else

I legit didn't know we had Paramount until 3 days ago. It's part of the complicated web of account sharing exchanges involving my wife, her brothers, and her parents. So this was the first thing I've seen on it.

There's a clip on the socials that wasn't cut from the episode where a Parra reserve grader I've never heard of talks about "negotiating" his 7k salary into 410k over 3 years.

In the actual episode, they have the Chief, Mat Rogers, Dell, Brad Clyde. Trish Johns as well, which I can only think is because Matt and Andrew weren't contractually allowed to contribute to the show. Then there's the non-contract talking heads like Quayle, Ribot, Whittaker, etc.

So does Walsh miss rd 18, 19(bye), 20, 21? And then rd 25?

One of the key reasons I bought Sorenson a while ago was to have someone to upgrade to Cleary (and there you have strange Aardvark logic)

I'm still not sure whether he misses R21 or not. There was a precedent a few years back where Origin players have Origin count. But I don't know if that still applies.

Definitely misses R18-20 and R25 though.

Was that where Radley was able to count Origin even though he was no certainty to get picked? Maybe they have put the kibosh on that now.
