NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 47 - Origin time

Might happen but would be a mistake if Hynes is fit. Moses gets better in people’s opinion when he’s not playing, which is often.

Couldn’t care less on opinion but to say Hynes is absolute top class baller and Moses is and has been for a long time overrated. Sharks are bang average and were bloody leading the league first couple of months when this fella was fully fit.

Parra behind Moses could have another 43 seasons and wouldn’t go close.

Just showing some respect to a top player not at his peak right now.


… fuck yeah that was a send off. Horrible; slip or not. Shame though for the spectactle

Red cards just totally ruin the spectacle and whilst it shouldnt be the whole consideration, they need to realise as a commerical product it is totally ruined when a red card occurs as it imbalances the game too much.
Red card to the guy who does the act is punishment enough, and 20mins later another guy comes into the game so the game isnt toally ruined - win win

Yeah not great as an owner. We know how Payten likes to operate and hard to see him backup off 69mins and as you say if he does it's probably like 30mins off the bench.

Hadn't given much thought to selling him as the byes are good for an origin player but if he is pretty useless in 14,17,20 then selling could be beneficial if you have the trades.

I just hope Carrigan can back up with decent mins.

No "you're ok mate, we believe in you"

No "it's a tough game and you'll bounce back"

No "bad luck happens, but we chose you for a reason"

It's straight to who to blame and who to drop.



NSW just don't get Origin

i dont mind this, afterall, it is a commercial product first and foremost.

i definitely don't care for origin like i used to, i'm just happy to watch a close/entertaining game these days, which last night was not so much.

something will probably change for next season as a result of last night.

I don't know, Walsh didn't move for a while.

Game has changed sadly. NSW are men, QLD are a bunch of soft cocks.

Is what it is.

Is it too much to ask that Mikaele gets bigger minutes when I'm struggling to field 17

I have no idea how it works in Union, but that sounds like it would be open season on teams best players early in the game. If you get some spud to take out a Cleary (or maybe a Walsh) then you're in a situation where the fouling team benefits more than the fouled one over the course of the game.
