NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 78 - Everyone is totally, absolutely, 100% alive

Yeah I'm gonna see if Sandon can fluke something, otherwise Bula at 18 and half a thought of trading Haas to Tino if Bula goes sub 30. Would rather hold trades and do the Murray to Carrigan and Hopgood to Murray plan that Aardvark and MTB stole though.

Very optimistic on no other restings/injuries!

I'll hold Murray next week if someone else is out or if Bula scores well enough with Carrigan playing later. Hopgood to whoever is an easy trade for the final round regardless. I don't want to be left holding 2 trades and only needing 1 if everyone's on deck. I think a lot of teams will be in the same position or worse if there's more carnage.

I’ve had some children

I’m assuming Munster has private health cover in which case his partner is having a five day stay where she’ll be in the best possible hands and quite frankly he’s just going to get in the way. It’s actually irresponsible to his newborns well-being if he doesn’t play immediately after the birth.

As someone who had to panic-trade Munster out of my team last week to ensure a H2H semi final win, and is now playing against Munster in H2H final, I think it would be nothing short of criminal if Munster did not withdraw himself from the game right now. Just to ensure that he is there with his wife, and first child, in this time of celebration for the entire family. Missing out on all of this would be an irreversible sadness inflicted.

Plus, they're only playing the Saints... does he really need to risk missing the birth and the joy around the birth for a match against the Saints? I, think not.

With the Broncs and Panthers tied on points I don’t think there will be any carnage R27. Neither of them is going to field a B Team if it means losing the Minor Premiership

Yeah it seems very unlikely. Unless the Broncos go and lose to the Raiders next week.

Games gone soft.

Back in my day footy players barely knew their kids own names. Even the legitimate ones

Fair play. I'm holding 2 trades to and have been waiting for the Chaos. Hoping Bula puts up 40+ this week and I'll hold the 2 trades for next week.

Matto out in 27 also will be a lock.

Anyone worried about the Warriors resting players in R27? Fairly likely to have a top 4 spot sewn up but no chance of moving any higher. Panthers and Broncos at least have the motivation of putting out a top team to compete for the minor prem.

Def a chance, storm play before them as well, so might not be able to move their ladder position at all in rnd 27

SJ quad concern last week as well?

It sounds even weirder when you read it out loud

You keep saying you want chaos. But 2 trades is not enough IMO to want chaos.

This is correct...I have three trades and I want to use them how I planned not as a chaos mitigation solution

Belated community trade poll

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t2324-r25-poll#735853

Hey guys I've got 10 tickets to Tigers v Dolphins at Commbank this Sat at 3pm.
I was planning to hand it out to people in the Wicky community but i'm not sure we'll get that many people keen on actually going to the game haha.

If you're interested - lmk today please? Planning to hand out 2 tickets to 5 different people but if you've got a few people keen on going and I don't find others to hand it out to happy to give a few out to a couple of people. Just don't want the tickets to go to waste!

Meet up rnd 2?

Quad/Thigh was one or the other

SJ took the first kick at goal anyway, then Pompey had a few, the when the game was "close" SJ kicked another one. It was like a "I don't want to kick, but I'll do it so we win" - Then Pompey had another one after I think

I do think this might of also been a "SJ isn't playing R27, Pompey get some kicking practice in" Kinda thing

Could see SJ/CNK/Egan/AFB/Harris getting a break

If SJ is in the hunt for Dally M I don't think he'll be putting his hand up for a rest tbh
