When I said more concerned, I didn’t mean I’d dump JMK either. Just think he’s less likely to met owners expectations of the two.

Loving these poddy picks.

This prompted me to check your team tracker, not sure i agree on all the choices, but i like the approach as I've done similar.

This. It was a rusty, clunky, disjointed game. Pretty ugly to watch tbh.

I've got JMK and Stimson but I'll be holding both. They had their floor game first. Will be concerned if I don't see more structure from them next week.

Super happy with Moses. That is his floor to me and I'm happy with that. Again, team was disjointed and they didn't get much opportunity to pick up attacking stats.

To put it in perspective, there were over 10 errors by both teams midway through 2nd half. Can't ever remember a game where both teams were that bad. It's only up from here

Ooooh yes, I like your work! Who's the captain, Ponga? Very interesting pick of Burns on the bench.

My team on the tracker is a bit out of date now, currently under intensive review! Still going to prob go pretty heavy at the back, if not moreso - currently have Drinkwater and Hughes on the bench...

The chairman of the F1 has just said that the event is still going ahead #thereishopeforNRLbutprobablynot

I think the cricket today will be interesting. Can't imagine sitting next to someone for 6-8 hours who has it...

Nah man, the official pandemic announcement was the catalyst for all this. Not one player from the NBA. But anyway, doesn't really matter, at the end of the day all sport will get suspended.

They had teams and fans in a stadium ready to tip off, then cancelled the game and sent people home once they learnt there was a player infected.

it may have been cancelled in the coming days anyway, but that was clearly the specific trigger

Jeeepus, those two on the bench, now that I've gotta see, post it up when you can.
Yeah this week its Ponga just because I'm not confident in Pap/Turbo in the brookie battle, following weeks I might consider one of them.

Its a very selfish and #firstworldproblem way of looking at things, but I'm really bummed the NRL is, in all likelihood, going to be suspended..

F1 is morally bankrupt though. Literally teams coming in from Italy, and confirmed cases of the virus, and still going ahead

I’d suggest Vic Govt call it off but all govts are a bit like F1.

I reckon we get two full rounds at most.

I don't know much about it, I am assuming the Govt will step in?

Yeah Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz, the fuckwit Frenchman who was making a mockery of the virus by touching reporters microphones and teammates gear in the locker room. Now his teammate Donovan Mitchell is also infected.

Absolute fucking clown.

You are missing the point, but it really doesn't matter.

I did see a post from one of the reporters who was in the room, who said he took it at the time to be a 'show of solidarity' by the player, because the press were told to stand at least 8 feet back, and the player was just trying to show he is not that important.

Anyway, looks real dumb in hindsight.

Me too mate. Hours of analysis down the pooper... but yup, perhaps bigger things to worry about. We are all gonna be blessed with all sorts of time on our hands when we are forced to self-isolate!! #gotenoughtoiletpaper

Yeah the microphone thing happened pretty fast and didn't look like much on the video, but a teammate leaked that Gobert was touching people's gear in the locker room, so it seems apparent he's just a massive dickhead.

Fuck it stop the season and wipe the scores from last game. G’wan Stimson and JMK owners

Can confirm there will be no crowds at the upcoming three ODIs. CA have taken the precaution due to coronavirus. More soon on
@FoxCricket

I mean, i guess that saves the embarrassment of no one turning up

Yeah I'd thought about capping Pappy too until I saw the fixture.

Okay, team updated. Not sure how long this one will last though. Doesn't look quite as good on paper...
