NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 70 - the Happy Birthday Random thread

I'm back in action now, so BEs here for those who want them

I need to bring in a CTR/WFB this week, might just grab Skelton if he gets the nod, feel like Staggs would own him though if on the same side

Farnworth would dust him up too. Risky pick.

I suppose I can wait til at least 5.30 when the Manly squad gets trimmed but who do we think is more likely to back up from DCE and Grant? Trading out Bula to one of them so obviously can’t wait til 1 hour before either play

That's true, Skelton looked huge last week, wait and see anyway

Both no doubt, wait for late mail today too

Just had a little @Rabbits21 panic moment and was looking at what I could do with my trades to cover him when I noticed one J.Manu sitting on my bench....I'm an idiot

Damnnnn, I am going to have Blake Wilson hahaha. I was hoping I would never have to actually play him but my depth is horrible. It'll be fine for a week.

And Carrigan confirmed out

Just a couple of thoughts not Fantasy / NRL related.

I saw this article on the ABC site today and realised just how much I value being a part of this little community.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-14/middle-aged-men-experiencing-high-level-loneliness/102563492

(Don't laugh at me cause I have no clue about how to add links etc.)

But, as an official Old Fart (on the other side of 50) I've been through what this article is saying.
When family, work and life just become busy, men do drift along and let real friendship fade away.
I have one mate from high school, which is pretty lame.

So, can I put a call out to all of you who make this place what it is.
The shit-posting, great advice, the support I saw shown to Rabbits21 when his grandma passed, the support for one of our number when he let us know that his missus had breast cancer, the arguments over where the correct place to store sauce is (obviously the fridge), even allowing me to post about my faith and not kicking me to the curb.

I appreciate you all.

L-Jimmy, never stop being a passionate Queenslander. The Origin is only as much fun as the rivalry.
Booze, you have always remained humble and offer really good advice, even to stupid queries, Milchy, you deserve you Immortal status.

From the oldies who've been on here forever to the newbies who've added so much (Garethellisismydad) this forum has been a really great safe space for (mostly) guys, but all are welcome.

For you younger guys - who haven't hit 35 - what this article talks about is real. Keep working on your friendships, they really can save your life.

So, thanks for being legends.

Cheers lads, well I guess that makes him a sell. Was hoping to keep all season

Zero you say?

Also just saw this, so no hip pointer injury for Fifita?

Alright how do you get the tweet to show rather than the link?
