NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 24 - Rumours, Wet Captains & No Mods, Oh My!

I've had seasons playing this game where I was so invested it literally controlled my life.  I was using it as an escape from my daily life for a long time but the control it can take over you and the pure obsession becomes unhealthy and other areas of your life become affected.

Once you realise finally that it's just a game and the results and outcomes mean literally nothing in the scheme of life, that's a healthier place to be in when playing the game.  A number on where you finished the game the day after the final round means nothing and no one bar you gives a shit and you've just spent over half a year agonising and having your life controlled by it when the day after, it's forgotten and done for no gain.

It's hard to not get overly invested, I know I still do but nothing like I used to.  While I don't give a shit what Rabbit does, our comments are merely seeing one who has an unhealthy obsession with a fictitious game and someone who could be doing other good things with themselves.  

It's supposed to be fun, but when a game controls you so much and takes productivity from you that could be shared in other areas and put to use for yourself and other people, it becomes an unhealthy dependant and that's not a good place to be for something that means nothing and results are nothing but a pure ego boost that could be used excelling in other areas.  I used to think a good rank meant something but in reality no one gives a fuck.

Don't get me wrong, play the game and play it hard, but it's a fine line between being a fun game and an unhealthy adduction cause Ive been there and don't like seeing other people there.

So if they played again next week, you could still captain him with confidence

And then promptly signed with the Sharks.

Feels like we should have at least one of them on the books to this day, if the team was managed properly. Instead had a few years of Moses Mbye

I think people are forgetting that the Broncos are a far different side to what they were a few years ago.  While he got a 65 against them last year, he didn't play them in 2022 and before that Broncos were shit.

I just think sometimes stats don't always tell the full story.

Hope you've put that extra 300k to good use!
Arthars has looked good this season

i think Curran is the better buy - though i think his history as an edge isn't hugely relevant since he probably plays the HYBRID role (maybe its better for him anyway and he plays 80 with a good portion of that at mid/lock??)

Each to their own. I’m glad you figured it out and it works for you. Alas we are all wired differently. We can offer advice, that’s fine, but the amount of shit Rabbits gets from this site is truly awful. Nothing any of us will suggest is going to change who Rabbits is. He’s doing no harm to others (people can just not read it or read it and not comment), and whilst he would appear over invested in fantasy, he might actually really like it. Some people use these anonymous chat sites as an outlet to express themselves as they feel comfortable so why do people feel the need to put shit on him?

The 65 in R27 was against full reserve grade team

Was a high risk fairly low reward gamble

Narrator: he did not put that extra 300k to good use

Probably, I don’t actually know

It’s a message board in the year 2024. Kids these days are on their discords and video content  and whatever.

You can’t grow this place because it’s not the right platform. Which is fine, I like the wrong platform
