NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 79 - Refs own goal

For anyone who fancies a POD captain this week, DCE's recent scoring history against the Bulldogs:

93 (back in round 1 this year)
65 (R3 2022)
67 (R25 2022)
68 (R16 2021)
93 (R24 2021)
60 (R3 2020)
84 (R18 2020)
74 (R22 2018)


Pretty remarkable, you have to go back to round 24 2017 for the last time he scored less than 60 against them.

ah bumgrubs...really hope Garrick suits up. Don't fancy using a couple o' trades on WFB but will have to use one regardless.

Well that’s 4 injury/bye dots to navigate this week. Spicy

Everyone else fines.

Including Rapana, who is almost at JWH levels of paying fines and avoiding suspensions.

Surely the Bunnies can arrange a 1 week loan for Latrell back to the Tigers so he can serve his suspension there and be back for R27

Lemuelu better be back this week.

Otherwise I'll be forced to sit and look forlornly at my 0 traces remaining

Even just a downgrade. Didnt think there was much in it although i wasnt exactly watching closely

Wasnt a lot in it but the intent of his elbow was worse than the hit. Not a good look. He needs to get that out of his game so should get a week for the pure stupidity.

Roosters injury report on Teddy.

"He has commenced early-phase rehabilitation in line with the Club’s return to play protocols and will meet with an independent doctor for further review this week."

I wonder if that means possibly playing this week, or just to confirm he's right for Rd 27.

He ain't playing this week. I'm even sceptical he plays 27 by reading that.

I wonder if Horse is out along with Murray how many teams will be able to get 3 MIDs on the park?

Team depth gonna be tested this week it seems

Need Horse to play

Grant copped a bad poke in the eye. Came back on and said after the game it was no worries.

Unlikely to be an issue but you never know i suppose

What was he even doing on the field though !

Unsuccessfully challenges, misses the finals and then suspended for Vegas in R1 next year

Grant passes most his HIA's has the code

Does Cheese count?

Kris getting injured has really messed things up. Traded him to Russell that week and sacrificed CTR/WFB coverage as I needed a playable score in my 17.

So of course the next two weeks I've needed to use trades on Lem and Teddy.

The fantasy Gods are nothing if not vengeful.

I knew not buying Horse when he was 580k and about to average 60 at lock would pay off eventually. Totally worth it for this one round...

By reading that I see it as a wait and see. Probably doesn't play this week though.

It's honestly embarrassing how fragile Latrell's emotions and ego are, and how immature his actions when he gets upset. I don't think he will ever change. He gets away with a lot as well. Not the first time this season he has chucked a hissy-fit.
