NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 77 - The Oprah Round

Was clearly a really bad 20-40 attempt, he ran right up to the 20 and just got the angle horribly wrong.

Also Burbo has now started 4 games at EDG and made it to the end of 1. Tom suddenly looks like a durable brother

I thought he was putting in a crossfield kick for Saab but it was terrible and went straight down the middle. 20-40 probably makes more sense.

I also thought it was a kick meant for Saab

Tbf I don’t think they were actually serious about that, just drawing a parellel because fuck knows what Garrick was actually playing for with that option

Well he ran up to the 20 and then Saab was chasing hard, so I think he was thinking a 20-40 or a cross field kick for Saab, or maybe a hedge of both. Good commentators could’ve made the serous analysis in amongst the “kick duel lolz”

It got the analysis it deserved, one of the stupidest plays this season regardless of the intent

Very true. We must encourage more robotic behaviour. 5 hit ups please

Lol wtf does “got the analysis it deserved” even mean? Stupid plays need the most attention!

syn13 wrote:

What was there to analyse? He kicked the ball down Dylan Edwards throat on tackle 1, why do you need an auditory masters thesis about what happened?

One thing, at least, would be nice.

Think Manly can get up for this enough to keep it respectable.
