My backs now look like this

Aubbs, Shiba
Papy, Drinkwater, Isaako

I'm giving Wiliame another week or so in the EMG. I've dropped Musgrove for EKatoa to generate cash a bit faster.

There's a vaccine with potential being developed in Germany. Another one in China. These things take time, but I'm confident that the sum of human scientific brainpower will find an answer to this - first a treatment then a vaccine - before very long, but there'll be a lot of damage along the way.

The Aus position on testing is what the UK one was about a week ago. There's a ripple effect where Italy is about a week ahead of Spain which is a week ahead of the UK which is a week ahead of US which is a week ahead of Aus. That applies to the fatality numbers as well as the mentality as well as the measures like closing down sports fixtures etc. To bring it on topic, that's why I think, a month after Serie A, two weeks adter the EPL, the NRL will shutter next week.

Katoa an obvious choice to bring in at this time - starting second rower with good output in R1. Failing cow (musgrove) to rising cow.

No interest in Guler? People seem shaky on his JS but even 30s off the bench will net a decent amount of $ for less than Flegler (who also has JS issues with Ofa back soon)

In QLD they found that some meds for Malaria and HIV seem to be effective. That's what they are trialing in the hospitals atm. The good thing is that these meds are already "on the shelf" so to speak.

Here's an option that has opened for the NRL: NRL village in QLD option

Sure, but measuring one's temperature on entry identifies those who are febrile right? Not completely pointless if it picks up a support worker who is febrile but "feels pretty good" .

I'll wait and see Chewie's reaction before I'm alarmed.




I dunno about any of this shit, but the little things count. Each measure on it's own might seem pointless, but as a whole anything that slows down the spread seems important.

So for every person who dies of the virus the lower air pollution is saving a life so the net effect is no one is dying.

While the idea of NRL Survivor is very appealing, if the virus goes as elsewhere Australia is going to be desperately short of medics for a couple of months, and playing a sport where participants regularly end up in hospital, with 16 crews of doctors and paramedics while hospital docs are passing out on shift is going to be hard to defend.

Hope he recovers soon mate! Stay safe.

Schools over here look like closing Friday, 2 weeks until 2 week Easter break so government trying to swing it out long enough to get a months worth of isolation with less disruption by the looks

I was told today I could potentially work from home, hopefully they let me sort some stuff tomorrow give me some Workload and send me on my way with my desktop in hand

I'm on day two of WFH and already going stir crazy. Probably gonna put on about 10 kilos too, constantly snacking on shit out of boredom and convenience. Good news is I'll be more active fantasy wise this week so Widow should probably prepare to vote you out.
Not sure i want them to mind you, all the information you send me on them is great.

I know Lomax throws a spanner but could only be for a week with Rava due back next week?

Now no one wants Katoa or Guler and more people are on Flegler?? Anything I should know or just go with my gut on Mus and Stim out > Kat and Gul/Fleg in

Yeah I still have Lomax, but he'll be out of the 17

We really about to go into Survivor mode.... Maybe we should all go live on an island and play this out for real.
