Well that was Garner's fault because he's supposed to protect Reynolds so Garner should of sorted Sims out. I agree Sims is a typical bully picking on smaller guys.

There's plenty of jobs where employees get relocated overseas & they don't see their families for months & they don't complain because if the employee said to his boss I don't want to because I'll miss my family he'd be down the road.
So Warriors players go to a hardware store, buy some cement, swallow & harden the phuck up.

Two weeks off to focus on fantasy and watch some footy

Prices will filter in soon, but basically Italy and China will be the highest priced countries and looking like solid captaincy options. Spain, USA and Iran all looking like consistent scorers and great selections in the forwards, whereas the African countries and India should be fairly well priced as cashcow backline options. The wildcard will be North Korea, as nobody knows what the fuck is going on there.

Who is keen to play?
The problem with China is that the info they are putting out is as reliable as that from Des Hasler and Ricky Stuart!

Greenberg and Annessley pretty much saying season is continuing as normal behind closed doors. They are "considering" every option put forward by players, coaches and staff. Also say that if NZ decide to go home after this weekend it is possible for them to continue the competition without them.

Pretty much one day and one step at a time.

It's 6 months potentially off the bat with no contigencies in place for their families' routines. Even if the players wanted to stay, how many partners would be putting pressure on them, explicitly or not, to come home. Not gonna say straight off the bat they're stoked with spending 6 months away when it was only meant to be 2 days. A lot of them would also be studying, volunteering, and other commitments. Doubt if any other team was stuck in NZ they'd want to suck it up for 6 months. 6 games is definitely more palatable

Team:
Friend
Haas Knight
Lucy Williams Fifita
Cleary Walters
Wiliame Shitasaki
Isaako Papen Drinkwater

Yeo
Koro
Carrigan
Hess
JTB
Musgrove
Rudolf
Kennedy

Kinda stuck between two ideas:

(A) Trade Musgrove to Koloamatangi.
Reasons:
1. It allows me to get an extra $14K (not big, but big for my circumstance).
2. Didn't pay close attention to the game but the stats show that Musgrove didn't do much in his limited time, feel like he won't make much money.
3. Use Koloamatangi as a looper (is it too early to start looping?). The next two rounds the Rabbits play the third game, providing Koloa isn't in the team I can him to try and get the better score out of Hess and JTB. Kinda expect the NRL to be suspended after R3 so feel like I can get lucky here with this play. If NRL continues then Koloa's spot is kinda wasted until he gets a game around origin time.

(B)
Hess to Flegler
Wiliame to S.Crichton
1. Gives me $43K
2. Would only do this trade if S.Crichton is starting. From his limited game time, he looks like a star. Athletic player that kinda screams tackle-breaks. The only concern would be Edwards return, but again season could be suspended by then.
3. Flegler should see big minutes with more injuries/suspensions for the Broncos. I already have Haas, Fifita and Carrigan, is four Broncos forwards too many?

Infect them all on purpose with a fullY trained medical support system on hand, as fit young males 99% will have minor flu like symptom, anyone who has a more serve reaction will at least have the Drs right there. In 4 weeks time everyone will be over it and ready to play
