NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 73 - 98% Stand and Applaud

1034 and not the least bit upset that I lost two H2H games because that’s just how this shit hits the fan sometimes. I’ve got theee Wahs out this week, but I totally have that covered…….. until Tuesday throws a curveball in my direction.

Those who have had a bit of a down/average week, I’ve been there many times this year, we all have, and I’m sure we’ll all find ourselves there at least one more time of feeling just so-so, just gotta bounce back the next.

Congrats on the win mate, now go win the whole thing

Garrick +5 to 58 and Manu +2 to 45. I picked up another 2 points somewhere else too. Maybe Drink or DCE. Hasn't been added to the scores yet.

Murray had updated by a point when the Tigers/Dragons game updated too.

Yeah, I've had a few scores updated. Manually adding up they get to 994, but still showing last night's 979 on app and desktop. Guess it'll sort itself out in the end.

I get the right total on the app but not on desktop. Ranks haven't moved. So guessing there will be some minor movements when it adds up correctly on all platforms. Manu +2 not good for me. I am happy for the 98%. Shows Manu does matter.

Might have to go Avo to Skelton this week if he holds his spot with JAC back and use the funds for DCE. Would really like Garrick as well but that would leave me with 2 trades, would much prefer holding 3.

Man, that was/is a ride. Was up to 1020 at one point yesterday then down to 986, now it looks to have settled on 994 which is fine if slightly disappointing once you see >1000

Anyone else have trouble getting on to the forum yesterday or just me (might have to hit @si up for a few tips)?

It was down a bunch yesterday 

The Hynes rollercoaster would’ve been much more fun if they boards were behaving

Looking forward to everyone pivoting to Hynes this week only for Cleary to win the battle

I made a concerted effort yesterday not to look at the NRLF scores until after both games were finished.....it makes it easier to actually watch the games. Probably could have done with the 18 points to sneak me back into the top 200 but luckily I don't think my week hinged on the Captain decision.

Sticking or twisting is going to be fun from here. Given my notorious ability to get off people just before a monster score (or at least a score that includes a try) I think I might stand fast on Captain Chin......maybe.

Yeah I'd kill for a top 2500-3k finish, I've only done that well twice (147 in 2019, 2.4k in 2021) and am currently 4.3k coming off a score of 915.

Hopefully updates are kind to you Beth. Gonna be quite tight for our matchup in the Eliminator. Got downvoted to 931 with Cleary as Captain, so could come down to the wire.
Either way, I think one of us is going to get lucky considering all the other great scores being posted for this round.

All the best for the remainder of the Season

Pretty funny that for my four trades this round, the two cash outs Skelton and Kiraz scored basically the same as the two top tier guns that came in, Cleary and Fifita

Sorenson outscored Cleary for me

Fifita shades Preston over two weeks only because JP didn't play this week

Brutal mate.  How's the arm?

Recovery is going too slow to my liking, still can't sleep on my left side
have good days and bad days, muscles are stiff and soar resulting in headaches at times., can't wait for it to be fully recovered
scans tomorrow

Yup Col almost matching Cleary for 750k less is a travesty

Looks like overnight updates get me to 1007

from 1033 to 993 to 1007 ...

Spoiler:

Hopefully updates are kind NW. You only need 180 points or so to beat me in the eliminator. All the best!

What a nice thing to say! Gets my vote for soft cock of the year!
