NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 47 - Origin time

I'm trying to figure out whether Seyfarth plays big minutes on edge regularly now or is trap? Klemmer back 17 maybe goes prop, Twal lock. Doueihi back 17 not going to play some hybrid role? Feels like no option but for Seyfarth to get regular start decent minutes now but there's Benji factor

I really like the 20 minute red card rule in union. The big difference between league and union though is that a red card can be given for a completely accidental event like a head clash, and I'd say more often than not red cards in union are accidental to a degree. Whereas league it seems you have to be at least reckless if not intentionally malicious to get a red card.

TL;DR red cards in union aren't the same as red cards in league

When they give me PvL's job, I'd do 5 mins for the professional foul like in the 1980s, 10 mins for the current high tackle sin bins and tripping , and then the send off I could be convinced you get a replacement after 30 mins. 20 seems too soon.

NSW changes surely look something like.

Hynes > Moses
Jurbo > literally anyone else lol

Don't think they'll drop Jurbo but jeez, he's more out of depth than Hynes it seems. Again, seems like a great bloke but the pace of Origin is well above his abilities now. VC Yeo was also caught out again at Origin - just not a pivot at all at the next level.

Anyone wanting to drop Jurbo has rocks in their head. He did his job perfectly. 26 tackles 0 missed. Only forward with 100% tackle efficiency. Madge giving him a 4 minute stint when chasing points was largely tactical

Kepoa can always come in as an edge. Porter on the bench has been an edge majority of his cup career. So there are a couple possibilities for Seyfarth to not get the desired role.

don't do it, Seyfarth is a trap

It's Kepaoa that is the threat, has already started edge once over Seyfarth, and ET also said Porter can play edge.

I think I've gone kind of cold on the idea, not sure it's worth the risk.

i dont really think seyfarth is much of a first grader so pretty much anyone else who can play footy is a threat to his position.

but leaning towards the gamble regardless, maybe.. actually. yeah it feels gross.

QLD were calling Origin dead when they lost 3 in a row. Sit down.

It's all very easy to sit back and play holier than thou when you win. QLD do the exact same thing and then thump their chest about Origin spirit BS

This. They need to open one of their other 3 eyes.

13 trades maybe just enough to take a gamble. Only planning on 2 trades max this week and will have 14 if Edwards not backing up

Counter Point:

Doesn't matter who NSW pick, QLD is just the better team

I just realised that my 4 trades this week, which I did on Monday, are Fifi. Uto, Fatrelll, and Moses. What could possibly go wrong?

living on the edge...

The Monday morning media said Moses was ready to go for round 13. But he wasn't ready to go when the Blues side was picked the day before-hand? Did parra give the blues some dodgy info "yeah nah he's not actually good to go yet".

The stated reason is that they wanted to see him play a game before picking him. Which is perfectly legitimate. If they had picked him he wouldn't have played against the Sharks and origin would have been his first competitive game in months.

It just seems dodgy because the guy they did pick was also under an injury cloud. But without having hindsight of how the game turned out, I think its fine to not pick a player who last played in March, even if he is theoretically fit. Its not like it was someone of a Cam Smith/Lockyer level who they'd be fine rushing back into a team

Fuck Origin. Exhibition game to keep the two heads happy and help relieve the perpetual log on their shoulder.

AFB for Cap this week. Point to prove.

Rather than Jurbo's minutes, it seems Leniu is forever destined to be low minute man

There was a period in the 2nd half when NSW will still technically in the game, but struggling to get field position.
Leniu made a killer 20m run to get them on the front foot, and was subbed off the next play.

If Leniu and Mikaele were ever in the same team, the other props would certainly need to be fit bastards

Yeah AFB or Fifita for me for the same reason

NSW goes back to being productive and carrying the country, while Qld'ers go back to sitting around watching their banana trees grow and scratching around in the dirt with their grubby little paws trying to find opals.

I think I've just convinced myself 4 trades is the way. Have a problem.

Madge has brought Bazball to origin, probably claim a moral victory atlleast.
