NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 9 - Introducing Soni Luke - Sixty Minute Hooker

Thing I’ll be lucky to get over800 by rounds end, inauspicious start like last year

I will bounce back

Lots of player playing Sunday I reckon

573/C with 6 to come. Ranked about 60k with no obvious problems apart from my centres.

Shaq looks favourable to fantasy that's for sure, would like things to go his way for more of what we saw tonight.

Sounds like it is something that is an ongoing issue that will be managed. He may not miss any time at all. He did not mention it at all in the post match interview - seems like clickbait mostly

Not the only one mate. 670 with Tedesco, Butcher and Boyd to come.

Garner, Levi, TMM and CTRs are an an issue

640 with the usual 4 to go (Cheese, Boyd, AD, EButch) plus Suaalii. Trying to figure a route to bring in Ilias as well as Bird next week but don't think it's happening without one of tomorrow's players getting injured or massively displeasing me.

He looked pretty damn good , really put in after losing Junior and Jai.

I don't think I have a realistic way of getting Ilias in next week unless Doueihi gets injured or something, but I'm glad I'm carrying Bird on my bench this week, since that locks down one centre spot and I can just rotate cheapies through the other one until I can afford to get another gun in (ideally Manu near Origin time)

I can bring in Bird fairly easily if I want, but Ilias will probably have to wait. He has Panthers and Roosters next anyway, so might not miss too much anyway. Is just the frustration of him being in my team from five minutes before lockout until one minute before, when I gave myself an uppercut and told myself not to make impulsive changes.

692 + Utoikamanu, Smith, Butcher and Boyd. Good luck to those with Doueihi.

A lot of good value players I missed but I'm only considering a Preston trade atm.

I have the option of trading down to Doueihi from Munster, but Ilias will be a temptation so I can fix one of my CTR spots.

I don’t mind it either. I’m just happy it’s posted for the whole forum and not just for a lucky few people in a private message

701 with Boyd BSmith and EButcher to play, 850ish I think.

my ctrs averaged 25 each which is my benchmark for a cheap crap ctr...thompson 34 alamoti 17
just on thompson i heard an opinion which made me keep him...aj & latrell don't do the hard yards out of their half so thompson will be doing plenty of hard yards from the back & will get tb's...turns out he was spot on with thompson 9 tb's
623/12(c) with tedesco, doueihi, smith, e. butcher & boyd to play
no real issues in my team except improving my 4th reserve which is trindall but will involve a downgrade so not an option unless hynes is back & he doesn't start.

Looks like the hard yards were him running to an open tryline

he is slow for a winger it was like running in cement lol

Looking like about 800 for me. Only real disappointments are 40 from cheap centres and Trindall which in hindsight wasn’t a great decision but you never know he may still get a couple more weeks.
Missed Boyd in that so I guess 840~

so much for the bulldogs props not playing extended mins...king 62 mins sutton 57 mins

Hoping for about 850 if I’m really lucky. Currently on 705 with Fifita, Smith and Boyd to come.

A couple of slightly underwhelming scores (Drinkwater 40 with 2 tries…and my cheap centres). No real alarm bells though.
