NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 10 - Not enough Raiders

I will need to watch last nights game again, I thought Strange was getting the shits they were not giving him the ball, kid went ok though. Opted for Boyd over Fog and it was painful watching him kick the guts out of the ball.
Trying to hold my Bank ( nerve ) is hard seeing some of the scores posted and have to keep telling myself its only round 1.

What you think he meant and what he actually said are not even close. Go dig up the quote. It was nice try but too obtuse. Victim mentality has sure sucked some of you in. To the detriment of the world.

Just my opinion.

lol. i'm not sure what victim mentality has to do with what i said. i'm just posting as an observer on a forum.

his exact words were "This is woke gone mad" so i guess it was somewhere in between.

maybe loomer can clarify his meaning if he isn't off pissing up with the warriors asst already.

Hughes or Flanagan over the attempted Strange loop?

And Matt, my other half to Cleary was Fogarty, so there really wasn't a better way to loop. Thanks though.

Either mate over that score. Flanno for me.

Vote for Flanno.

So in my asking for a way to avoid getting zero for a HIA, or looking at a compensatory way to avoid it, means this is an easily understood response?

OK then. lol. Just say what you mean rather than trying to be clever.

i'm not trying to be clever?

i just think he was taking the piss out of "typically older generation" calling everything they disagree with woke. do you not think that? i'm not saying it was a good joke, but that's the intention i saw.

I'm saying HE was trying to be clever. Failed. Go get your soy latte and calm down.

you're right, i definitely think loomer should calm down

Jeez Hazelwood is destroying the Kiwis in Christchurch. Lovely seam bowling

I... Fuck. Was going to say slaughtering or massacre but that feels really stupid and sad.

Ok, there goes the good mood. Sorry all.

Flanno more chance of scoring a try and a 40+

I've got Chan at 18th man, if he scores well tonight I have the option of downgrading one of my 14-17 to a Tiger cashcow so I can go on a shopping spree before rd2

I put Levi at 18, so that if he scored well i might grab Koro at 17.

But my mistake was thinking there was even a slight chance that Levi would score well.

Fogarty on Strange "Ethan played the way we wanted him to tonight" suggests make your tackles, get used to the NRL, I'll do the rest. Later, we'll let you play.

https://www.nrl.com/news/2024/03/08/fogarty-ready-to-take-the-lead-and-let-ethan-be-ethan/

"Fogarty hoped Raiders fans will be patient with Strange throughout the season and allow him time to develop as a regular NRL player.

“Ethan played the way we wanted him to tonight,” Fogarty said of his new halves partner.

“Obviously he’s going to get better as the season goes on, and he’s going to get more and more comfortable, more and more confident, and I just hope that everyone lets Ethan be Ethan."

Need to leave one of these three out Flanno, Kini and Salmon would you leave Flanno out? I know whatever I choose will be wrong!

You're all good my friend, and appreciate the comment.

I apologise if I came on a bit strong - it was more frustration at the phrase than about who said it (we're all guilty at times of saying things we don't really mean and haven't fully thought about).

Ricky in his pre-game presser was talking up Strange, and almost said "he's better than Weekes" but managed to say they were both footy players.

Fog talking him up and talking about the season going on makes me feel like they see Strange as the half rather than in a battle with Weekes. Sounds like it's Strange's to lose.

That's a very strong Interchange & AE

Heading home to Grafton tonight, playing golf with the old man tomorrow. He said he's installed a "whiz bang new tv" so I'm looking forward to enjoying the footy on what honestly, could be anything.

Few beers, old man telling stories of how the Eels used to be good, should be a great night.

Thanks mate maybe just leave as is and see after end of round what happens? If Sitil is starting again probs a hold?

Haven’t started great though 8/373 C seems a fair way behind many others. Ponga, Sitili, Piakura and Strange have let me down sadly. Mind you I guess 21 isn’t awful from Strange.
