Neither. Hass will be cheaper in the year and I had Tolo but I downgraded him to get Pearce and Ponga

Bold strategy. Hope it serves you well

If it works the same as last year, updates come via NRL app:

Sivo 23
Fergo 33
Moses 41
Mahoney 54
Matterson 52
NBrown 37

RSmith 24
Hoppa 25
Wakeham 22
Lewis 53
JMK 35
Stimson 24

Not that disappointed in Brown. He was awesome and will score better. Owed two tackle breaks and they gave him Paulos penalty. Also that massive shot when he put Stimson on his ass they gave Stimson a tb and Brown a missed tackle. May end up scoring alright if things are properly fixed up.

Played 62 minutes to me that's promising moving forward

Yep, fair call. These are early days. I think my biggest worry with him would be - more than injury or the odd weak score - is suspension. Dude plays a hard brand of footy and often seems to dance with the likelihood of a week or two off with some of those hits.

Me too hahaha

Not too worried about Stimson.

If Levi or Brailey boom, might find funds to move from 2RF heavy to hooker heavy, but for now, taking him on face value of having 80min role and PPM and Bulldogs form will improve (as they all will)

Brimson has a stress fracture in his back. Bloke ain’t gonna play for quite some time.

Can you try once more??

See if you can get a 50 for Brown this time

Loving having League back!

Pro14 (northern hemisphere elite Rugby Union) suspended indefinitely...

Looks like F1 is also off.

And the NHL season suspended now also

For how long? Im not even sure we get through the round and will be very surprised if round 2 is played. I know there are first world problems, but kinda hard to get into fantasy now, knowing that it will be short lived.

Just listened to Dan Patrick out of the States list about 20 sports/competitions in the US alone that were either called off completely, or to be played without fans. Its just a matter of time folks. Once the WHO declared a pandemic the dominoes just started falling.

Aekins is good value now that the season only lasts two weeks

If the season does show struggle on, rapa could be back. Missed this news amongst everything yesterday.

I captained moses... lucky he came back to get an acceptable score. Was a shaky first half.

Happy enough to have no Bulldogs players for now, they just have no attack. Moses score was OK given score at HT but feel Cleary will score 60+. Only had Moses instead of Cleary because I needed the $25K to get Ese'ese instead of Stimson.

Last day switch:

In: Moses, Ese'ese, Kennedy
Out: Cleary, Stimson, Fusitua

If Ese'ese scores well and gets good minutes it may have been worth it over the long term. Will be looking to upgrade Mann to Cleary at some stage.
