NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 80 - Oprah level red dots

So I scored 977 rank up from 660 to 610 overall, Colouqhun 4 lol I risked him over Kris.

Likely without Grant, Horse, Hopgood, Penisini, Manu, Ponga and Colouqhun this week think I’ll be down to 14. If SJ gets rested 13. So yes it could be a bad finish losing ranks more than likely.

Double trading Billy Smith really felt like genius at the time

15 for 850 or thereabouts.

Will be lucky to hold top 4k. But hey, it's been fun!

Had a look back 2 weeks ago with the end of round 24
20 green dots and some trades left
A week ago it was 19 green dots after using the last trade
This week played 15

Crazy how fast this season has fallen off a cliff
And theres probably even worse out there too

My prediction with no inside knowledge is that Manu and Ted will play. It's a knockout game that could end the season

The nature of the ladder means the likelihood of Grant and Ponga playing has gone down. Maybe SJ will have to play with Metcalf injury, or maybe that'll make them more likely to rest him as insurance, I don't know. I suppose they could rest Tohu as well. Also who knows what will happen with Cleary and Yeo if the Broncs wrap up first place on Thursday.

DCE against Tigers Jurbo 200th DCE will be a popular captaincy choice I think.

Or Teddy carving up the bottom 9 rabbit rabble.

Played with 16, and one of those was Seb Kris and still scored 1012.

Without the carnage could have gone close to a personal record.

With no trades, it's hope and pray time next week to get a team together

I dont think professional teams like resting players going into finals. You don't want to break that rythm and tempo. I remember hearing Bellamey talk about that.

They would prefer to just take them off a bit early in the game.

I would be surpised if the amount of players we are all expecting to get rested actually get rested.

I potentially have 9 red dots next week, luckily I saved 1 trade for emergencies

I think they gave us the 8 free trades too early
Turns out it should have been round 26 haha

it is what it is mate. You didn’t have a choice but to go hard for it and it’s not over yet!

Not too bad considering I played with 15 and a Colquhoun. 970 and up a bit to 672. And, add another to the casualty ward.


Tis a flesh wound under here. Luckily, I work in a hospital and was tended to fairly quickly.

really? You heard the non existant coach Bellamey say that? Guess that over rules years of data.

Try not to be so aggressive in your pre-match walks, slow and steady can get the job done.

Bit of rest and you'll be righty back in action, get well soon.

Sorry to hear mate hope it heals fast and doesn’t become infected or anything. Good score mate with 15 basically. Similar rank to me as well.

I might need to be strapped up I might punch something hard if we get walloped by our biggest arch rivals on Friday Night I’ll be in a dark place. Can’t think like that though must think win at all costs!!!

I think I might barely look at overall this week anyway no point stressing got no trades left anyway. What will be will be!!! I went down in my draft prelim as well but I’m not too down about it was only my first year playing draft.

Might turn focus to solely on Mixer if anyone has any advice on Mixer options next week fire away I’m sitting 12th currently overall and know it probs won’t last long but I’ll try to stay up there. Ynot is top 5 I think on absolute fire too.

KP will be out. No point bringing Hastings, Mann or  Fitzgibbon back now and Friz could do with a week off. Not sure about anyone else. Still need to try and win next week to finish fifth

From Barry Toohey off Twitter. As we know he’s nearly always bang on, on the Knights.

No offence to Foran (and Godspeed on the recovery mate) but Honeysett's hands actually glisten!
