NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 68 - Antipodean Horror Story - "Fantasy 2024"

Aside from that I’ll be at Magic Round next year I’ll see BL up there hoping I might run into MTB, Wolfy and Snatch too hopefully….. it would be out of my comfort zone as I do have some social anxiety from past trauma but I’m now better than what I was.

I can talk and talk and talk though once I feel comfortable I can talk for hours.

I plan to sit/stand for Souths game in Burrow up there for 2 of the days. My mate from NZ is going too.

I’ll also be keen for the Talking League meet up they do up there.

Anyway it’ll be an adventure good for me. I have never been to Brisbane city before so I’ll be flying blind…..

Replace Graham with Lomax and it's a good side.

Not a single mention of either game yesterday other than Murray needs to be dropped playing an edge and doing nothing. Not a single dispute over a 50/50 call ? Nothing about referees ? What about the bunker that missed the high shot over the line that they called no try instead of penalty try in the Jillaroo game. Chrichton's put down ? Surely being a Rooster he deserved a serve ? Pretty disappointing forum.

Chonky Team (heaviest NRL players by position according to zero tackle)

As you'd expect, 6 7 9 not pulling their weight, literally and figuratively speaking. Decent NRL side even with just a couple of replacement level creative players.

1 Turbo (102)
2 Coates (108)
3 Suli (109)
4 Te Whare (108)
5 Dom Young (107)
6 Josh Schuster (106)
7 Hutchinson (97)
8 AFB (123)
9 Garlick (95)
10 Jr Paulo (123)
11 Kikau (116)
12 D Fifita (115)
13 Lolo (115)

14 Sanele Aukusitino (never heard of him but 112kgs winger yes please)
15 Jordan Miller (131!?)
16 Wiremu Greig (124)
17 Lucy (114 - covers edge - also Lucy looks way larger than 114)

18 Fanafou Seve (never heard of him either but weighs 124)

Missed the games, except the last 10 mins, due to outside time

England beat Samoa 34-18 overnight.

I expect NZ will bounce back and beat Tonga next week

Pacific island nations just don't have the spine depth atm.

Same reason PNG could beat Fiji despite half a team of Super League and Qld Cup players - had experience in the halves where it matters.

Lightest team (to play them), very inexperienced but has a rep centre. Also not very heavy.

1 Jye Gray (78, probs weights 90kgs according to Old Rabbits by now)
2 Lehi Hoppa (82)
3 Jaxon Purdue (83)
4 Damien Cook (88)
5 Sua Fa'alogo (82)
6 Wakeham (78)
7 Sam Walker (78)
8 Jake Granville (c) (84)
9 B Brails (80)
10 Cotter (95 - lightest legit prop in the comp; as opposed to bench mid or mid/edg types)
11 Cam Murray (90 - surprised)
12 Dean Matto (86)
13 Plath (87)

14 Fuller (78)
15 Hethrington (95 - wanted one legit bench MID)
16 Mann (88)
17 Turpin (86)

18 Weaver (77 - lightest player in the NRL)

Shitposting quota done for months now.

Just came on here to quote someone, give fleeting or no acknowledgement of what they said and then go off on my own tangent wilfully oblivious to the prevailing mood or discussion.

Cheese (the dairy based food) is good.

Hunt GONE. It kinda escalated quickly, but kinda not.

Hunt been agitating for 12 months with often unhelpful public comments, plus a lot of backgrounding media from him/his manager.

I don't really begrudge players doing what's best for them, but tough to swallow this one.

Hopefully he goes to Qld, like he always said he wanted. If he ends up at the Roosters I'll sink to Rabbits levels of outrage.

Dragons are after Wishart

Murray wrist injury

Prodigal son returns, what a narrative. If Flanno does some of the basic structure and organising stuff, and let's Wishart intially just play eyes up and run first, could work. Especially if Gutho is also there to take some pressure off.

I think Gutho will play FB.

That is unless you can’t find a half before season starts otherwise he might play 6.

Cam Murray potentially out 5 months I’m gonna cry.

Scapholunate injury to his wrist might need a reconstruction.

Yeah want Gutho play FB but takes a bit of pressure off a half combo like Flanno/Wishart because of his experience, where he can step up and do some of the organising. Anyway, all conjecture. As it currently stands Dragons are a wooden spoon team.

Really? When I tore my Scapholunate ligament while fracturing my wrist it hurt a lot and I had a massive swearing fit but I didn't cry......he'll be right.

Maybe he'll be lucky and they will put his hand back in the right position, unlike mine.....my promising left handed waving career was snuffed out before it really got started.

SEN radio saying Dragons likely to chase Ilias.

Cleary and Murray will both be touch and go to start the season.

Gutho to Dragons extremely likely now.
