NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 72 - Crazy Trade Time

Roosters have had as bad a run of injuries as any team in the comp the last few seasons.

Thats definitely been a good excuse the last few years but not this year. I heard on the radio yesterday that they’re still the most backed team to win the premiership just because of all the money that was put on them early in the year. To go from being the punters favourite to not making the 8 shows there are some serious issues there.

Think I've settled on Simonsson, Hopgood and Sorensen to Cleary, Murray and Haas. Last two a bit luxury but oh well.

Manu to Latrell pencilled in for next week, but will need a centre score from Joey this round.

Colquhoun and Cleary in for Manu and Turpin.

May trade in Kiraz for VTW if needed, but will try to hold off, leaving me with 3 trades and a deep stacked team, with very few bye round players remaining.

That won’t be enough to catch me unfortunately for you. You’re falling further behind every week

Have still dealt with a lot of their top 17 players out most of this season:
Cheese
Tupoinua
Crichton
Watson
Walker

Thats funny, just caught up 39 points this week to be just 7 spots behind you in the FOG.

This week pre-trades you have 4 red dots, to my 1.

Sounds like bad team management

I only need 17 players this week right? Traded one of those dots to dce just so I have the luxury of looping.

Fun Fact: I’ll be going the entire season without ever owning a Rabbitoh player

Both sound confident. Is there a forfeit for the loser?

yeah but if you ask a roosters fan that’s only about $800k out of their cap missing so it shouldn’t be a big deal. Until one of the leaves or retires and they were on a million a year that is.

Brings back memories of the early 2000s. Stuff of dreams!

forfeit? We were just close in rank so decided to chase each other to end the year.

Sounds boring 

I don’t really have much to bet with. Mulvy already owns my avatar until what feels like the end of time

Impressed with old Matty this season, not throwing in the towel and skulking off as usual.

Preston nets you more cash and has a worse average. More immediate bye and doesn’t have DPP.

To me selling Preston over Matto is such a no brainer and yet your poll is going the other way. So maybe I don’t know what I’m doing lol

Its classic nrl fantasy

Whatever happened last week is what will happen from now on

Happens every year. People knee jerk on trades because of one bad score (or good score) despite years of evidence.

I dont have matto but if i did id be holding
