2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 32

Going to try and trade in Hodgson as my second hooker this week to strengthen my reserves.
Have to get rid of Jacks now I think with Munster back. My reserves will then hopefully be McGuire, Hodgson, Hayne and Cotric until I can upgrade CHN to a gun.

Jacks fractured cheekbone I think.

Not sure if this is what you're after, but this is what I write down at weddings when they ask for telegrams.
Some advice from someone who knows.
On my wedding night, after the ceremony, we made it back to our room and started to undress.
As I took off my pants I tossed them to my new bride and I said, "Here, put these on."
She said, "Don't be silly, I can't wear your pants."

I said, "that's right, just remember, I wear the pants in this family."
She didn't bat an eyelid and continued undressing.
As she took off her panties, she threw them to me and said, "Here, put these on."
I said, "Don't be silly, I can't get into your panties."
She said, "No you can't, and that's the way it's going to stay until your attitude changes."

seeing you asked on a footy forum....Read this a while back and liked it as a manly fan


Billy Slater is out at a bar, and flirting with a good looking woman. She invites him over to her house, and she goes into the bathroom, telling billy to get comfortable. She comes back and finds billy laying in bed with 2 naked men. She exclaims, “What the hell is going on?!” to which billy sheepishly replies: “I’m sorry! I can’t perform without Cooper Cronk & Cameron Smith

No confirmation but heard either fractured cheekbone or broken jaw.
Both could just be guesses though.

Both solid, although the Groom isn't a Footy fan. The majority of jokes found in search results have been played out so thought I'd ask around here since you lot have a pretty good sense of humour.

Looks like I've got a comfortable 1 point lead over the Trousers.

If Mbye starts playing hooker, I might trade Lamb to him.
And ET to Whitehead is a given.

Oh crap, cheers finchy. Didn't know that happened lol. Probably would explain why tonumaipea came back on late in the half, wasn't really paying attention

Teddy 68
Idris 34
Moses 49
Mcllwrick 54
Taylor 39

Guth 33
Radradra 36
Norman 35
Pritchard 45
Brown 53

Screw you Norman.

Not sure why everyone was expecting big upgrades for Teddy, looked pretty right.

Nice updates.

@Random pucker up mate.

Idris, CHN, and Jacks in doubt messes with the plans this week... it will take some creative trading to get a solid 17 on the park

Haha, probably still be 1 point in it come Round 26.

Back to back 900 scores. Sweet.

I am predicting a score of 76 from Guth tonight with 3 tries. This is of course exactly what I need to catch @Bronchose in ultimate. Eels to run riot with Norman and Brown also scoring big as well. Idris to fail a HIA in the 5th minute of the game after conceding 2 tackle breaks to Guth in the same play and ending up with a score of minus 5. I end up surpassing @revraiser by 44 points when Suli scores 50 point.

I just logged on and saw this.

Clearly you were as high as your new avatar!

Locked up the round with Idris getting me up to 1015 (pending updates).

15th top scorer for the round and brought the rank in from 4000ish to 1000ish.

Add in the 600+ score and win over Feline in Ultimate and it was a good week all round.

Great effort mate to crack 1k. Very impressive.

since round 3 my score has gone up by 50 points each week. rising thr rankings now. hopefully it continues.

ET needs to get out this week. wanna get rid of siro aswell so dunno what to do really

Updates take me down to 977 for the round. The trio of ET, Guth and Idris all putting in the most disappointing efforts for my team this week. So close yet so far to my 2nd ever 1000. Whether Idris misses any game time or not will affect my trades this week.
ET to Crichton and then Guth to a gun if Moses makes the move was on the cards but Idris was one of my reserves and all my back-up options were sub 20 scorers this week.

If all the worst case scenarios play out I could be without Surgess, CHN, Idris & Ponga so I'll probably be forced to play Lamb.
