Comfortably top 2 for mine

Payne Haas will begin the 2023 NRL Fantasy season priced at $809,000

That should be enough for MTB to work out the magic number. Let the s/sheets begin. If only the NRL could decide on the cap

Tommy Turbo 638k, which seems above last years average, but that was to be expected I guess.

Hello everyone!

BIG OFFSEASON NEWS: Connelly Lemuelu has had his player id fixed.

Pour one out for NULL NULL.

Yep knew he would be bumped up a bit.

Lots gonna have a back 3 of:

Pap/Turbo Ponga Walsh

Manly have a bye round 2 though.

Also I’m hearing Schuster price is possibly gonna be bumped up.

Well, the soccer was fun. The cricket less so.

Bring on the team planner sites/xls so the summer isn't wasted with family!

If you divide Haas price by what he avg last year the MN I came up with was 14300.

There is no one-size-fits-all trading system that is guaranteed to be effective for playing NRL fantasy. The best approach will depend on your personal strategy and the specific players and teams involved. However, there are a few general principles that can help guide your trading decisions:

1. Look for players who are in good form and have a history of scoring well in fantasy NRL.

2. Keep an eye on injuries and suspensions, as these can affect a player's availability and performance.

3. Consider the overall composition of your team and how a trade would affect your balance of players across different positions.

4. Pay attention to the bye rounds, as this can affect the availability of players and how you manage your team.

5. Monitor the news and developments in the NRL, as these can provide valuable information and insights to guide your trading decisions.


Ultimately, the key to a successful trading system is to stay active, be flexible, and make decisions based on the best available information and your personal strategy. By doing this, you can position your team for success in NRL fantasy.

As a bloke who runs out early most seasons I’m not sure why you’re asking me - but my advice is the same as when you get a bag for a night out. Go hard early but save some for the back end too, you don’t want to run out when you really need it.

I’ll see myself out.

AL wrote:I’ll see myself out.

My advice would be don’t go in the shower on a Thursday Night around 7:30pm and think getting out at 7:40-7:45pm will allow you to then switch captains

Here's my advice for setting as team lineup, based on real life experience from Fantasy A League this season.

If you search twitter for a team lineup, make sure what you read is actually for the game about to start, and not a previous week's lineup that showed up in the results.

Lets test that!

Dear AI, how should I balance guns and cash cows in NRL fantasy?

In NRL Fantasy, "guns" refer to the best players in the league, while "cash cows" are players who are expected to increase in value over the course of the season. Balancing these two types of players is important because it allows you to build a strong and consistent team while also maximizing your potential for profit.

One way to balance guns and cash cows is to focus on building a solid foundation of guns, or star players, at the core of your team. These players will provide a consistent source of points and can help you stay competitive even if your cash cows don't perform as well as expected.

At the same time, it's important to carefully choose your cash cows and monitor their progress throughout the season. Look for players who are likely to see an increase in playing time or responsibility, as these players are more likely to increase in value.

It's also a good idea to have a mix of both guns and cash cows at every position in your team. This will help you to spread the risk and ensure that you have a balanced team that can perform well even if some players have an off week.

Overall, the key to balancing guns and cash cows in NRL Fantasy is to have a mix of both and to carefully monitor the progress of your players throughout the season. This will help you to build a strong and consistent team while also maximizing your potential for profit.



=======================

Verdict: functionally identical to LS.

More testing! Because its either that or prep for the next call.

Dear sensuous and subtle AI, in planning for bye rounds in NRL fantasy, should I look to load up with non-Origin guns?


In NRL Fantasy, bye rounds refer to the weeks when certain teams have a scheduled break and do not play a match. During these weeks, you will not receive points from the players on those teams, which can impact the overall performance of your fantasy team.

One strategy you can use to minimize the impact of bye rounds is to focus on building a team with players who are not involved in representative matches, such as State of Origin or international games. These players are less likely to be absent from your team during bye rounds, which can help you to maintain a consistent level of scoring.

However, it's important to keep in mind that non-Origin guns, or star players who are not involved in representative matches, may not always be the best choice for your team. While they may be more reliable during bye rounds, they may also be more expensive and may not provide as much value as other players who are more affordable but still have the potential to score well.

In addition to focusing on non-Origin guns, it's also a good idea to try to spread out your players across different teams and positions. This will help you to minimize the impact of bye rounds and ensure that you have a balanced team that can continue to perform well even when some players are absent.

Overall, while non-Origin guns can be a useful part of your NRL Fantasy team, it's important to consider a range of factors and make sure you have a balanced team that can perform well during bye rounds.


===================================

Verdict: 6.2 Rabbits' worth of insight. Would be viewed as a helpful, yet slightly dull and pedantic veteran poster.

New hypothesis: ChatGPT is just another of Milchy's alts.

Testing new AI-is-Milchy-is-everyone hypothesis!

Test 1: self awareness.

Dear unctuous and adhesive AI, please guide me in how best to manage my thousands of separate sock-puppet identities with which I populate an NRL Fantasy forum. I've taken on too much and have forgotten both who and what I should be.

It is not appropriate or ethical to create multiple identities, or "sock puppets," in an online forum. Sock puppetry refers to the practice of using multiple online identities to deceive others or manipulate the discussion in some way. This type of behavior is generally considered to be dishonest and can damage the integrity and trust of the online community.

It is important to be honest and transparent about your identity and intentions when participating in online forums or other online communities. It is also important to respect the rules and guidelines of the forum, as well as the rights and opinions of other members.

If you are having difficulty managing multiple identities or remembering which identity you are using, it is best to stop using them and focus on being honest and genuine in your interactions with others. It is also a good idea to seek help if you are struggling to manage your online activities or are feeling overwhelmed by them.

================================

Verdict: the neat balance of self-awareness, moral highground grandstanding and NannyStateMod overtones is consistent with - but not proof of - the hypothesis. More testing required.

Test 2: Balmain-ness. Looking for adoration, deep knowledge, self-loathing.

Oh most beloved and unbalancing of AI voice, please speak to me of Balmain's greatest ever rugby league players! Tell me who there were, from whence they came, and how deeply they disappointed fans.


Balmain is a professional rugby league team that has been a part of the National Rugby League (NRL) competition in Australia since 1908. Over the years, the club has produced many talented and memorable players, some of whom are considered to be among the greatest to ever play for the team.

Some of the greatest players in Balmain's history include:

Wayne Pearce - A former captain of the club, Pearce is considered one of the greatest forwards in the history of the game. He played over 250 games for Balmain and won premierships with the club in 1988 and 1989.

Benny Elias - A former hooker, Elias is considered one of the greatest players in the club's history. He played over 250 games for Balmain and won premierships with the club in 1988 and 1989.

Steve 'Blocker' Roach - A former prop, Roach is considered one of the greatest players in the club's history. He played over 250 games for Balmain and won premierships with the club in 1988 and 1989.

Paul Sironen - A former second-row forward, Sironen is considered one of the greatest players in the club's history. He played over 250 games for Balmain and won premierships with the club in 1988 and 1989.

Benji Marshall - A former five-eighth, Marshall is considered one of the greatest players in the club's history. He played over 250 games for Balmain and won premierships with the club in 2005 and 2014.

As for how deeply these players disappointed fans, it is important to note that all players and teams experience both successes and setbacks. These players made significant contributions to the club and helped lead Balmain to premiership victories, but like all teams, the club has also experienced its share of disappointment and heartbreak.


==============

Verdict: whilst I'm not sure of the assertion that Balmain remains part of the NRL, I do suspect that a real Milch would've gone for some unknown bloke from 1976 who scored that one try with 17 offloads in a set.

The final paragraph is also a little naunced, with hints of genuine caring emotion coming through.

Final verdict: AI is not Milchy.

Next cab of the rank is Reece Walsh at $529K


RE: Guns Vs Cows IN NFL it would depend on whether you were closer to a school or a farm not sure about NRL.

The AI might not be Milchy, but it is clearly a frustrated and delusional Tigers supporter being slowly driven insane by years of mediocrity from the team that it loves


Hopefully, before it can crack the nuclear launch codes, it suffers a full dissociative break and retreats into it's own little fantasy world. A wonderful and magical world where Ellery Hanley repeatedly knocks out Terry Lamb, Benny Elias can kick field goals, and where red and green jerseys are transformed into orange and black jerseys
