NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 81 - Can the last green dot please turn off the lights

Have spoken to Booze but damn what a rough ending to the season. Hoping to chat to both NRL Fantasy and NRL Supercoach to see if there are any opportunities for us to work with them to help out with projections and/or sponsor one of the smaller prizes. Would love to see if they're interested in improving the game and taking on more of our ideas etc.

Quick plug for Wicky's content over the finals. Links to our discord, preview articles, data tools (for punting + draftstars) are all free here https://linktr.ee/wickyai

I'll be doing a Punter's Preview podcast + article every week + some rapid fire Q&A's with Jacob from Trypod and Clarkey from Clarkey's FB group as well as some niche stuff around the big Draftstars contests + CC Medal etc come Grand Final week! Check out the links above if you're keen

Pretty sure that was the movie that launched 'The Enforcer' (Angus Sampson) into a long and surprisingly successful career in Hollywood and inadvertently launched the career of renaissance man Anh Do in the niche field of comic portrait painting.

I did know his real name and have seen his a few of his Hollywood parts - Fargo, Lincoln Lawyer etc. Plays a big, intimidating, stoic guy in both - basically the Enforcer without the gimp mask. Bit more range in his role in Bump.

Anh Do apparently uses a "ghostpainter" to tidy up his average portraits. He also writes about 50 childrens books per year which are definitely at the lower end of the quality scale. I do think he had a pretty mean dummy and step in the film though, from memory.

I once played oztag against Anh Do

We're hitting off-season level shit posting now

I'm actually a big fan of Anh Do and his ability to make a living doing a bunch of different things at a marginally above average level (he also seems to be quite an endearing personality)...I'm surprised he didn't convince an NRL team to take a punt on him based on his appearance in the movie.

Junior Aardvark enjoyed the first book she read but rumbled him when she tried a second "this is pretty much the same book!'

In non minor Australian celebrity news, just voted in the Fanatics 2023 awards

You should too

https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t2328-2023-nrl-fanatics-awards

Anh Do has about 8 different kids book series, and publishes books in all of them multiple times a year.
I don't know how much he makes per book, but I'm sure he's doing pretty well out of it

I've never heard of Anh Do, but am now more enlightened.

I also discovered (while spreadsheeting Awards votes), that we have a wonderland new poster called Obbeats, but that one of my other favourite new posters (Oddbeats) doesn't exist

Did you know that over one hundred Fanatics have dropped by over the last week.

Thirteen of which are wonderful humans who have voted for their favourite fanatics...

Only one day left...
Vote for as many or as few categories as you choose.

Some awards are very close right now

Let me have a chat with "Chewie's 101" to ramp up the votes...
Maybe Rabbits21 can have a chat with his group of 9

The final results for Fantasy Fantasy are finally posted. They can be found over here



Some bloke called Mulvy ended up winning it. His prize is a purple monkey dishwasher

For all those playing Finals Fantasy SJ is only 50/50 - NRL Physio

He had a contract to write 50 books in 3 years. Which is one every 3 weeks. I know some of them are quite short, illustration heavy etc. but that's a lot. wouldn't surprise me if he just storyboards the concepts and a bunch of others write the books for like 50c per word or something. I dunno.

It's not too late to join, 9 million budget, 13 players, max 2 players per club, what's not to like?

50c a word too expensive may be 50 dong, he's out sourcing to Chatgpt or paying his family back home

That's massive if he can't suit up.

When is the cut off mate tomorrow night at about 7:40pm?

I’ll enter just haven’t got to it yet I’m sure it’ll be fun. I’ll look at it tonight.

Get it in before the shower mate just to be sure. I heard Chewie loves pranking people with his early lockouts. It is Friday night after all and there are parties to be had.

Yeah I have to lock-out a bit earlier, otherwise the servers won't be able to handle the traffic
