NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 63 - I guess I'll play grown up

16pts in updates for my lot, unheard of this season.

Saj (3) v yours truly (6).

B/L will be charging in Div 2 next year, plus Mulvy

What has happened in the other leagues?

Being in Div 1, doesn't allow for much charging.

Ah I didn't even see the Drinkwater update. I'm screwed. Was keen on you getting DCE when he randomly got hot, but the swerve to Carrigan paid off.

Still alive for next week at least

Yeah, was just thinking that actually haha.

Is reverse charging a thing?

Ponga +3
KPP +2
Brailey +1
Galvin +1

That's only the players I have. Assume there will be a lot of other updates.

The league finals don't have a further round to go to determine the finalists ? Qualifying and Elimination finals make it seem so

Milchcow 848 vs 797 Standard issue
Honeysett 878 vs 882 Random

mods draft league:

EasyTiger 482 vs 602 Mulvy
standard issue 518 vs 548 filthridden

Well done to SI for being the only one to make it this far in both leagues!

Shame about Random winning

Should be like NRL finals I think. Winners of 1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd get a bye to final 4, losers play the winners of 5 vs 8 and 6 vs 7. Bottom two losers eliminated.

The way finals are named never makes sense to me though. Semi finals should be final 4 imo, playing for a place in the grand final, but for some reason they call that the preliminary final or something? and semi finals are the week before, which I'd call quarter finals.

Moved from 666 to 544 on the round rank, yet dropped 1 place overall. Tough near the top

Gray going from 31 to 35 to 40 really undermines looping. Would've perhaps kept him in the 17 if he was 40 on Friday. Not super costly this time (Hands scored 7 less) but definitely shows the risks

Fainu +3 from the last game too

Uto stays the same (shithouse)

Yeah the naming makes no sense. The first week being qualifying/elimination makes enough sense, but then I'd switch prelim and semi finals around the other way. Week two is the most confusing to name because it's not a quarter final or a semi final when it's just two games but not the last before the final. Maybe penultimate semi final, yeah that's not confusing at all

Ahhh.... plus me getting confused with the 'draft' finals talk, different altogether.

Yeah quarter final does seem a little odd for week 2, but I think more people would understand it. Maybe I'm just programmed to the tennis naming conventions. Qualifying finals, quarter finals, semi finals and grand final I'd roll with.

Meanwhile scores and ranks updated, still locked, but my bank is $24k short of what it should be

Could go the other way too of course.

Was so pleased with myself putting Hands over Sorensen, that I forgot to loop KPP in over them both

Wolfking (1) vs Jele (5)

Both us promoting to L1 regardless of the result I lead to believe.

Welshy and Murray the F Up at the bottom of the ladder.

Cheers Wolfie, won’t count my chickens until lockout lifts. Only 7 points ahead of Teeth now.

But congrats - L2 minor premier and storming into the GF.

Stop the angry emails lads, my bank has been restored.

Thanks for the support though

Remind me what we agreed for my commission?

My unbridled, passionate, somewhat homoerotic support for your fantasy team

Nice charge you've been on lately mate. Knew you'd pay off in Fantasy Fantasy once the injuries eased somewhat. I reckon you copped the worst of it the first couple of months.

Well worth it then. You’ve shown admirable patience. Glad to have finally delivered some Plath-like returns.

Open up already, I need to shuffle my team around
