I hear that the best treatment for Corona virus is to have some lime (or lemon) with a bit of salt.

My advice.... don't do anything. Musgrove looks to be slowly increasing his minutes, plus that game was fucked, was like watching AFLW. S.Crichton won't play more than 1 game. Hess up against the Doggies this week so could see an increase in his score, but if anything I would trade Hess to Brimson if names, possibly DWZ, I also think Su'a has the better chance at cracking a 50+ then Hess does, Flegler, Mikaele.

You may also need to trade Walters this week, which I assume would be to Grant, giving you an extra 42K (+1K) and you can go Hess to the Horse; moving Drink to HLF and Kennedy to WFB.

This would be your best bet.

Yeah, I can definitely see Hess improving this week. Might hold off for now then, not really too keen on Horse, feel like he will have a couple more good weeks and then go back to the bench. Then again he might impress Ricky Stuart enough to keep the lock position instead of Tapine. Don't think the trade will go through this week so I can still enjoy at least one more price rise of Walters before bringing in Grant

Walters has negative BE. Still has money to make even if he gets just a bench role

If a player returns a positive to COVID 19 then the whole club must sit out a week, as per Todd. However, won’t the teams he has played against in the last two matches also have to sit out a week, and the teams they played etc etc. As long as they didn’t shake hands then I guess it doesn’t matter!

Yea would need to sit out to because of tackling. Unless it's Darius Boyd and you avoid the tackles.

Thinking pretty much the same thing mate.

Thurston is a doctor remember

In every sport in the world, if anyone associated with a team, down to the ball boy gets it, the competition stops. Opening themselves up to legal action if they dont

Liking the team so far team currently coming first has over 200k more then me in team value so bit of an uphill struggle

People traded arrow out last year after round one and a low score, he scored 81 points in round 2.I wouldn’t trade him.

Exactly. If Xerri or Cricthon tested positive, we wouldn't be talking about round 2 trades. I guess there is still realistically a way the game can keep going if teams shut themselves off or play at the same venue or whatever but as soon as a player tests positive, game over.

Hence the whole, teams being isolated to a single town, playing at a single venue (mind you grounds people would be in intense overdrive), all staying at a single hotel where no body else can stay, hotel staff being cleaned with Dettol every single morning and night. It even extends to the food packaging that is coming in... Would be a lot of effort.

I think the NRL would be licking their lips if an ESPN deal were to go through. I think if the season were to continue, companies would be throwing mass amounts of money at the NRL and the TV Channels (Nine, Fox, ESPN) for advertisement as it would be the only sport on TV.

Before a game had been played I told you the 2 men you were picking were pretty much be good for 80mins, I don’t think Horse and Guler would have crossed your mind. I think you’d have laughed.

I know you probably don’t want to be stuck with them for 3 months, but also talking about trading 2 round 12 players out for 2 guys that will be lucky to make the bench when their team is full fitness.

Just knee jerking of the highest order. Trust your original gut and judgement

I hope you're going to keep 1.5 meters away....

Would someone.be able to click on my team tracker and have a look at my team and suggest some advice??

If you have Arrow hold him. Someone poster earlier the reason for his low mins was because he was sick so that explains the low mins. He'll be back to 65+ mins next week & will pump out 60+.

Three teams failed to score tries this week, is that a first in the NRL? Or at least for a long time?

Realistically though, how long could the NRL go on for if it was the only competition in the world still going on? Surely the public pressure on them to call it off would be pretty astronomical by that stage. Also, I love league obviously but are people who aren't league fans really going to fall in love with the game when the games are being played in front of no people, therefore having no atmosphere.

I just can't understand how the NRL has so little money that they are so desperate to play on even when everything else in the world is shutdown. Once this all over and done with, there needs to be a serious look at how the comp is run.

I don't realistically seeing myself holding Hess and Stimson til round 13.
