Oh Jesus!

Quick bit of math puts me at 152 hours.

What was probably less likely then this original outbreak...me working from home somehow looking like happening, that the NRL looks like its shutting down!

Sigh.

I'm locked down for 14 days because 13-y-o son 99% has it (sore throat, really dry cough, slight fever - he'll be ok but he's bound to pass it on to us), was hoping for a few days of NRL to distract me before Australia catches up with the rest of the world, but seems not.

Oh, and close the fucking schools.

Deciding between the below trades:

Thumbs Up
Stimson > Horsborough
Aekin > Kennedy

Thumbs Down
Stimson > Guler
Aekin > Isaako

Would really appreciate your vote

Yeah I saw this. Huge changes!

Yeah so I got a sore throat now, the kind of minor irritation you’d normally just push thru every winter, but in current environment my days in the office are done for awhile

Working from home should give me more time to stuff up my fantasy side for this weekend.

That's a tough one but I suppose Horsburgh has better job security than Guler but Isaako has much better js than Kennedy. So I'm leaning TD due to the promising signs from Guler that he may have a break out year & fulfill his immense potential so I'd like to be on that ride & Isaako is locked & Kennedy may be gone when Xerri or Moylan return.

Side effect of the lockdowns in Italy is that the water in the canals running through Venice is clear for the first time in a long time.

See mother nature always sorts the planet out. She waits & gives humanity every chance to clean up it's act & when enough is enough she intervenes & does the job herself.

TU: keep Stimson or
TD: sell Stimson & buy Mother Nature

Cheers.

That’s a very spiritual view there mate

I’d keep Stimson and see how he goes a flowing game mate.

Oh haha this is a lol post

I am looking to drop Williams to fund Aekins upgrade. Guler comes in as he has a -6 BE and it is cash making time. Also agree with the points he could be cementing himself in the team with this form. Looked at dropping Stimson but doesn't give me enough cash to move Aekins to anyone worthy, with the cash I am grabbing Drinkwater. Wanted him pre-season but didn't prioritise him. Like the stability he should provide at WFB.

TLDR;
Williams --> Guler
Aekins --> Drinkwater
75k itb

If anyone is willing to provide some trade advice while you're on Lock Down, feel free to help my terrible team lol

Issue:

Fus Burns
Papy Kennedy Aekins

Williame in EMG
$178k bank

Can swap out either of Stimson, Williame, Aekins and Burns. Get Katoa and another cashies, or shore up backs with Katoa and a "solid" CTR or WFB.

UPVOTE: Katoa + Decent CTR/WFB
DOWN: Katoa + Cashie

Kia ora bro, could look at what I have done above... Drop Williams to Katoa/Guler and upgrade Aekins to someone you like Isaako/Drinky

Similar predicament

Big call dropping Williams but I think Drinkwater is a great option at WFB. Annoyed I went Aekins over him as starting FB.

Honestly though, Katoa could be a better option than Guler due to JS and extra cash could get rid of Stimson instead of Williams. Watching the game, Katoa is strong af. He'll get the Fantasy TBs because a 3 man tackle, one of the defenders will fall off as he finds his front. Plus, the owner of the Warriors has committed to the season

Kia ora! Does Stimson to Katoa not free up enough funds?

Solid. Around 875 hours for me.

Was lucky enough to jump on Katoa before Round1 bro. Has been highly regarded in Warriors circles. Only 11 games of League I believe but had wraps. Even likened to big Ali Lauitiiti, so I jumped on. Starting him this week

Sorry bro, what is the easiest way to see the team? Don't actually have Fanatics Team in any of my leagues...
