NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 14 - Game Day!

Starting 2nd rowers playing 50-60 minutes each.

It's going to be all the rage with coaches this year

Anyone trying to limit te number of players from any 1 club as a deliberate possible CoronoVirus mitigation.

If i turns out 1 or 2 games get cancelled postponed, you wouldn't want to have that wipe out half your squad.

Keen to see @Pacey's Best updated team lists once again

(For anyone new here, this legend compiles all the updated teams in a separate thread as they happen)

Is Des playing silly buggers or is AFB actually fit? Does anyone know?

Too risky for me.

I am keen on Brimson if fit, but even if he starts I'm not sure how much I'd want to rearrange my team to fit him in.

Currently have Wiliame in my CTR alongside Aubo, so can't go with that option unfortunately. Just put up my team tracker if you're keen to give more thoughts: https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t1264-team-tracker-2k20

Not real keen on playing Wiliame in my 17, cover only for me. You need centre cover. I’m not a fan of Brailley at his price, especially as he probably starts at 50 mins, giving Tracey far too much time to shine! I’m happy to play Kennedy, perhaps BB to Lomax (he’s DPP and will GK has a bit more potential)!

Great point. I assume if 1 player is positive then the whole team goes into quarantine!

I'll be Fd if the Broncos get hit by it. Have 3 of em

Mainly a lurker here but feel like this needs to be shared. NRL.com saying Edwards now due back round 3

TU: J Williams + Walters (Wiliame in the 17, no CTR/WFB cover)

TD: Stimson + Lomax (Wiliame in 18-21 as CTR/WFB cover)

Heard so many mixed predictions on Brailey. Others have said Tracey is a HLF and is there for cover or comes on for 15-20 mins max.

Hmm rethink on Aekins

Dylan Edwards is making good progress in his rehab from a syndesmosis tear and is looking like he could be back ahead of schedule in round three.

Sack Aekins and start Kennedy in the 13?

Very similar to mine. Not a fan of Brailley at his price until he is playing 80 -Tracey looks a great player and Mann to Wakeham possibly. Pretty good!

What are people doing with Luai?

I don't particularly want him, I don't particularly need him, but he's the most owned player in the comp and if he somehow jags another 98 point game it puts you a long way behind.

Teams and support staff should all be on extreme notice - massive social distancing, full hygiene, masks, gloves. Huge costs for the team and the sport otherwise.

But given the recent Doggies news (and what that tells us about how bright the players are and how good the league is at managing them) I expect two Sydney to be quarantined after queueing up to lick passengers eyeballs as they disembark from Iran Air 242

I was looking at it earlier from more of a geographical view.

Neither Warriors nor Raiders play in Sydney or against Sydney based teams in the first two rounds, Sydney seeing the most cases.
Not worth changing a team around based on that though. Unlikely we will see games post-poned anytime soon, rather played behind closed doors is more likely.

Roulette whether one of your players gets singled out and quarantined for a couple of weeks though.

Do we have any stats on the immune systems of players?

TU: Haas and Stimson
TD: Knight and Difita

Cleary to be captain

In my 18-21 for sure. He's one of the few cashies that will likely play at least 5 rounds. He only needs to average 25-30 which is so achievable.

Isn't Bryce Cartwright's missus an anti-vaxxer?

Sure as shit wouldn't be selecting him in my squad.
