Still think if only Keary stays fit then we had a chance. Add Manu out and no chance at all, everything's on Ted. Even with Friend, Cordner, BMoz, Collins etc out just those two could have been enough.

Oh well. Step too far for the beaten-up Roosters.

Who does the winner of this game play? Thought it was the Bunnies but they just said Storm on Kayo?

Surely that ball from Walker to Jturbs was forward.

Wow Manly are just too good.
Honestly a little relieved we're out of the comp now... It's been a very stressful and painful year. Hoping the boys enjoy their offseason.

Was almost more entertaining than the game tbh.
Playing these games at mackay seems ridiculous. Why are they not playing finals games at suncorp?

I’ve got a core group of mates/work colleagues that will do various fantasy draft league (NFL, NRL, NBA, a few madmen have done MLB and NHL).. I also work with data daily, so it’s a biased sample
Interest as waned as we all get older though. Not being able to do a draft in person for Nearly Sport/NRLCeo doesn’t help either, thanks COVID
Stuff like NRL fantasy, SuperCoach, FPL where you are against the whole field and there’s less rivalry are a harder sell becuase they aren’t as social.
Stuff with a financial investment just discourages casuals, and people who might invest might just find getting on the punt easier.
The other thing is Aussie sports don’t have the same stats culture as US sports. There’s no obsession on Moneyball like baseball or all the metrics in NFL… I mean they do exist, but as IP in-house for clubs and stats providers.
Even soccer is starting to promote awareness of OptaStats like expected goals.
Meanwhile cricket, which should be stats rich like baseball, experts still mention averages in limited overs cricket. The advanced metrics that are bread and butter to T20 franchises are barely on the radar of the viewers and pundits, and the data are locked away. That effects the fantasy sports side as well. An stats informed audience are more likely to gravitate to these side games
Thought this post pretty much nailed the current situation atm. Really interesting to hear some different opinions on the topic. Really glad to have stuck around on here for the last decade or so! Hopefully the aussie sport/fantasy sport landscape will be in much better shape in a couple of years in a post covid world.

My sentiments exactly regarding both Des and the playing of the game in Mackay.
It was just hilarious some of the stupid questions he had to answer, some of the local reporters have a lot to learn.
Also the Penrith Vs Parra game is in Mackay on Saturday as well, I just don't get it when they could be playing in Brisbane or the Gold Coast to much larger crowds and help the overall financial picture of the NRL
