NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 25 - Take it to the betting thread you degenerates

Roosters also seem to be the most cautious about head knocks. Mandatory or not I don’t see how he plays

Have seen the same thing (not sure if was from NRL Physio or not)

Rooters play Thursday night again next week so I'd say he'll be out due to mandatory stand down

Think it was a Cat 2? Regardless, yeah, Robinson has already said he won't be playing next week.

ITT to the fore, just as I thought i'd gotten him out of my 17.

I bet that gronk HSS scores a double now I've traded him out too haha

Izaac Thompson's time to shine

My loop options this week are Doorey (good for 20-30) which I know I wouldn't loop in, leaving ITT (v Storm) and HSS (v Panthers) - honestly, it's so bad that I considered whether it was worth even setting up a loop

I'm hoping by some weird twist that I take the score from my 18th man, but I really can't see it happening in this universe

Looking forward to see if the king of Hos was just a flash in the pan, I've jumped on him like many of us, let's see where this train takes us

I was going to punt Teddy for Miller or Wlash but didn't pull the trigger. Guess I know what I'm doing next week

He'll be so cheap that everyone else will be bringing him in (after the week off).

I think I just have to hold now.

Starting the year with Cook and Teddy has not gone as planned haha.

Cook can make up for a slow start tonight, please. Funnily enough if I had looked at the matchups this week I probably wouldn't have captained him. Can never trust hookers vs Storm (maybe I'm imagining this).

Yeah sorry about that Was hoping you did it anyway despite me questioning the timing. Ruined the game for me and I wasn't even considering the trade.

Combined 54 points from Moses and Teddy was not how I wanted to start the round

Actually an update from Panthers

Again, pretty vague on both Garner and Martin. Martin was 'very close' last week but just didn't tick all the boxes. THen says 'he should be returning to play in the next couple of weeks'. Garner he said he's been carryin the injury for a while, a 'week by week approach but he shouldn't miss much game time'.

Kind of sounds good for the Hosk.

Re garner it makes a little more sense after round 1 that Ivan was talkin about fitness/effort/getting used to panthers structure rather than letting on he had an injury.

Almost too good... I don't trust them

This the same guy who said Api was out for a month then he was back the week after?

I would be happy if we'd only get 2 more games out of Hosking, anything more than that would be an added bonus

The timing was a valid point, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Now do I cut my losses and run or take the hit and hope he comes good ??

Hoping Rabbits vs Storm is Fantasy friendly tonight.

Have 6 players in the game should make for a good week if they all go well.

Worried about Latrell mostly, hoping he actually does something tonight and looks interested.

Might be too much to ask.

Yeah, I looked at my overall rank after last night's game and it felt good to be under 2k even though I lost 800+ ranks
definitely punching above my weight atm

Haha yep, 100% can relate
So many storylines this week - Hynes, Hosking, Ford - will be so interesting to see how things turn out.
Also great to see a few different captaincy options now!

Again:

Can make an argument for ignoring it being a better tactic, but there's always a (slim) chance that the feedback might be taken on board...

Surely, ITT has his mid to upper 30s score in him tonight. The current trend says this is the case.
