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.

People would have to play him in 17 every week "just in case" do you want to do that? Also was Clearyless bye round against toothless Warriors he did that

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.

Would you have him over Musgrove, Rudolf, Kennedy, Wiliame, Walters?

I would love to get some opinions
Would you take
A- Jai arrow and Lomax
B- D fifita and a 500k centre

I honestly think players like Brailey, levi etc will be given every opportunity to play big mins and the bench utilities will only come on if one can’t go the distance or teams need to play catch-up and score some points/try something different.

I've just dropped JTB as really want Guler. I would drop Rudolf as not convinced on his job security or is he pretty safe? (Really should drop Walters as I think Grant move will happen soonish)

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

Carty ranks last, that's about as far as the stats goes

Wasn't talking about playing him in the 17, just worried about missing out on bulk cash.

If he scores 98 in the first round, he goes up almost $100 in one game.
Even if he only scores 30 for the first three rounds he's gone up $70k so there's really not a huge amount of risk sitting him in your 21.

His 98 isn't what he'll score every week and probably won't hit that height again but it showed he is capable of busting higher scores.

I think we'll see lower scores overall this year due to the tackle-bust while scoring tries rule change.

I’m tossing up between JTB and Rudolf, it’s a tough one. Musgrove is locked in and the others are a hit and hope I feel. Kerr is probably the better option if he actually got confirmed to play

Sounds like the bulldogs may have a fairly high viral load. Just not COVID19

Thanks very much! Well that makes my Aekins or Wakeham decision much easier!

I swapped him for Kennedy mate... now with Aekins out might go Aekins --> Kennedy and see what I can do elsewhere in the team!

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

she might be but did she make that decision when she was a baby? or am i missing something.

The Tom Hanks has just tweeted that he is in a gold coast hospital with confirmed case of coronavirus haha

Sounds like they did their best to empty some of their load!

Not entirely true, if its around origin time then you can give any player about a 50% chance of contracting something and bump that up to 90% if they're a qlder (and i say this as a qlder before anyone jumps on me).

Eliesa Katoa Is starting apparently, just another spanner in the works for everyone to think about haha

Surely The NRL just needs to ban the Dogs from going anywhere on the North Coast!

Assuming you mean Utah Jazz, he has been confirmed as having coronavirus

Shams Charania
@ShamsCharania
Utah Jazz All-Star Rudy Gobert has tested positive for coronavirus, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium

Sources say Gobert is feeling good, strong and stable — and was feeling strong enough to play tonight.

Kinda off topic I guess but Tom Hanks got tested positive for CoronaVirus in Australia. Yikes
