NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 17 - He haas a sore knee

Meanwhile Willison actually got good minutes huh (and Jensen only 27)... the auto-pick teams rejoice.

I'm sure Jensen had a second spell they didn't pick up the minutes for.

The last minute Carrigan decision has paid off.
Chin with the C
Piakura gets his BE

Not a bad night.

And the Panthers get the win

Oh yeah that would make sense, 48pts in 27mins would be impressive.

No way you're comparing an eye to a testicle right now.

Sophie's Choice.

Broncos opening to the season looks tough now that I see it. Key player injuries look like it is going to be some tough times before it gets better.

Roosters, Souths, Panthers, Cowboys, Storm, then a Brisbane derby to finish the opening 6.

I often like to go around pantless in public, Donald Ducking it at events with low security and police presence. But when you have a grossly swollen nutsack like I do, its all anybody can look at. But since I don’t end up making much eye contact anyway, what with everyone’s stares fixated on my comically engorged scrotum, id much rather lose an eye than have everyone stare at just one single repulsively ballooned testicle like i’m some kind of freak.

Not fantasy relevant, but Broncos not having someone that can cover edge on the bench has really hurt them two out of three games. Wonder if theyll change that.

Hopefully Walsh is ok and we can flog the cows.

And..should have done hosking to carrigan.

Arthurs has a special set of skills. Scoring 28 is one of them.

All the Vegas teams plus Penrith have ridiculously hard starts*. NRL front-loading the schedule for TV.

*except some of them play Souths

With a try too

I thought Pukiara looked good when he played his actual position. 80 minutes pretty much guaranteed. Likes a run. Tackles OK but does himself no favours charging up and stopping them but falling off. He would have scored over 40 if he didn't go to centre where he looked totally lost. Bad luck about Walsh. He was in my team and a bit of a POD around here. In a boxing match the doctor would have called the fight.

All of ya can fuck up the comment was made at the start when it was fresh and it didn't look as bad and it was the cht reference was one example off the top of my head that Walsh wouldn't play through I'm not trying to compare testies to eyes here's some more examples of shit Walsh wouldn't do slightly more extreme.


Five minutes into the 2013 NRL grand final, Kenny-Dowall spat a tooth out of his mouth after his first hit-up. He would then go on to play 75 minutes of a grand final with a broken jaw, scoring the game-winning try in the 60th minute.

broke my cheek," the words Burgess can be seen telling the trainer as he reels away from the play, which has lived on in folklore ever since.

Burgess did that in the first ten seconds of the game. He would go on to play all eighty minutes of the match and lead his team to victory.

A week before the biggest game of his and the Newcastle Knight's life, Andrew Johns was laying in a hospital bed with three broken ribs and a punctured lung.

Told his life would be at risk if he played, Johns defied anyone who told him he could not or should not play and laced up his boots for the grand final. He went on to make one of the most replayed and most famous plays the game has ever seen.

Possibly the most celebrated display of toughness the game has ever seen, John Sattler's name has lived on through this game ever since.

Three minutes into the 1970 grand final against the Manly Sea Eagles, Sattlers' jaw was broken in three places after a brutal swinging forearm when he wasn't even looking, let alone had the ball.

How are you meant to play if you can't see out one eye? Depth perception is fucked. Absolute non-starter from a player safety POV, that's asking for trouble.

I played a fair bit of cricket against a bloke with one eye.
He was a left handed opening bat and it was his right eye that was missing.
Depth perception is more important in this case I feel.
He was a very handy batter who played a lot of rep cricket.
He was also partial to placing his eye in your beer when you went to the toilet.

You can adapt to having one eye but it takes more than 5 minutes

Bet you're the toughest man alive mate. It's a game of footy not WW1, being smart and not reckless with the body during a 10-15 year career makes perfect sense.

How long do you reckon it took Rabs21 to adapt?

I have been comparing him to his peers and other professional athletes not myself because I understand everyone playing the game at this level is stronger than me faster than me and probably has a higher pain threshold to boot. You can all keep getting cut up and taking comments made online out of context if you want I literally put he is a gun player extremely talented in the same message it wasn't even hateful towards the kid I was just saying of all the players in the leauge he doesn't deal with the physical / pain the best lol

That was a really long-winded way of saying ‘sorry guys, I opened my mouth before I had all the facts and I retract my statement’, cuz it would be a really bad look to double down by posting a list of injuries you’ve decided he wouldn’t play through with no evidence because he wouldn’t go back on the field to play a specialist position with a visual impairment.
