NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 17 - Crack'a'Corona Sunday

Don't wanna be over dramatic, but the NRL isn't very strong financially, and a lot of teams lose money every season. Missing ticket sales, food sales, and the broadcasting implications could very well see some radical measures come about.

By all accounts this won't blow over like a bad storm.

Now, what happened to Burns and Aekins

I was wondering  and assuming that they'd just fly their families over to stay with them for the duration of this thing. But as above, sounds like they don't exactly have funds to throw around.

Kids going to school and a lot of the wives have jobs lol

They have schools in NZ?

Will Aus follow the UK and the 'Herd immunity approach ?

Hope not. Though anything would be better than the US 'ostrich approach'

Johnsy said he spoke to Matt lodge the other day and he said he should be back around R5. Also apparently Holmes picked up a little ankle niggle early on in the game too

Moylan set time miss another month of footy! Kennedy looking good

I'd just like to say quality thread name

Is AFL classed as entertainment?

I’ve had a pretty poor round with Ese’ese, Wakeham and Stimson. Low ownership players stinking it up (and seconds from EZY being my only flop  ). I know it’s only round 1 and the consensus will be to play it calm, but I am thinking of doing the unspeakable by pulling funds from my team for corrections. If I didn’t have two gun centres (also have Aubbs   ). I probably wouldn’t, but at this point it’s looking pretty frivolous when I need to put cash elsewhere. I have BJ Leilua set to play today but I could swap him for Musgrove and play Wiliame instead (currently in my NPRs). This frees up cash so that essentially instead of doing Wakeham>Mann (just about my only move atm), I can do Wakeham>Isaako (via Drinkwater). Leaves no WFB/CTR cover on my bench but my team looks a great deal stronger and I pick up the only real “must-haves” for my mind for the round (also doing Ezy>Horse).

Tl;dr
BJ Leilua + Mann upvote
Wiliame + Isaako downvote

Madge on Musgrove - "I think he can be one of the great front-rowers of the game. He's just got to make sure he gets on the field and does that consistently."

TPJ has taken the early guilty plea. Will miss 4 weeks

I’m 13/745 with Luciano, Pap, Wiliame and Walters to come.

Is this Madge saying he will give him every opportunity (40 minutes) or he needs to get on the field (slowly up his minutes)??? Who knows

Haha. Dont think there is any deep meaning to it, other than the fact he hasnt played NRL in a long time

I will be so happy to get to 800! As usual, one of my shit starts. I’m doing so much better in Supercoach. Stimson, Moses, Burns, and Blake.
