NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 67 - Nelson: Haha!

These delays with the NSW team just paints a picture of chaos. 

Perhaps some Rabbits style last minute panic. Or is Freddy having a shower?

Could try him at #6 yeah, but Cleary will be the #7 next year so I guess it's a case of "What's the point" kinda thing?

Yeah but Qld didn't not select Dearden last year because Munster will be back and what's the point?

I'd say they've lost the plot but even peak-Fittler when he won from 1-0 down was based on 7 changes after Game 1 that contradicted his earlier plans. Eventually you react and react and get found out.

I'll be down a WFB this week, but should have 12 on the field

...that is if SJ takes the field

He insisted on personally driving Haas to the physio for scans and is harassing the nurses as we speak

Glad to see all the forum lads killing it in the rankings this year! Keep up the good work

After creating peak comedy with this delayed team announcement (and potentially the selections as well) I am predicting a tight NSW win.

This will happen to cause maximum confusion/debate next year with the shire lambasting the lack of a 'pick and stick policy'

Should be fun.

Wonder if Haas plays next week

Man I feel for Nicho. Selecting Cody over him in a dead rubber is straight disrespect.

From a greedy fantasy perspective I couldn't have picked a friendlier NSW team. From a wtf are they doing perspective, wtf?

Finchy team for round 19

Simpkin
JDB | Harris | Hopgood
Preston | Bateman
SJ | Hynes
- | -
Bula | Sloan | VTW

Have Hands and Blore as my only other players playing, will put Hands in the halves if SJ is out

11 total for me, how about you folks?

So both Cook and Horse miss the next two games.

R19 looking more dogshit than R18 for me

Liddle
Hopgood Tohu X
Bateman Preston
Hynes SJ?
Bird? Lemeulu
Bula X X

1 trade, likely Turpin to cashout, only 20k ITB after getting Yeo for worst score of the season

Stone, jdb, ---
Preston, Hopgood
Hynes, Johnson
VTW, Ramien
Bula, ---, ---

So can bring in a mid/edg and a ctr/wfb with two trades. Will probably just use one of them but not sure who I trade out

Hors and Cook miss the next two
Metcalf still making cash and might be needed with SJ possibly out in rd19
Robson is iffy but as far as we know, will play rd19
NAS still on the up and up for now.

Cook seems like the obvious one but I'd love some opinions

Now we wait on SJ news.

Fittler aftermath team, 12 for now....

Lol yeah agree on both fronts. 

QLD team couldn't be much friendlier for me as well. Totally worth missing 8 weeks of Horse 60 average 

Just need a CTR and a WFB to field 13 this week. Turpin and JFH the likely outs.

Was keen on Gutho but can’t go there now

11 for me plus one extra mid or edge on the bench (will have to figure out the optimal loop). 

Have Hands to cover for SJ and will likely trade in VTW for 12.
