I personally am hoping Mccinnes starts his first game back off the bench! Any excuse to pick him up cheaper

My thoughts exactly!

Drinkwater and it's not even close.

I posted Cotric's numbers the other day. 38 average in 2017 and 2018, 28 average last year.

Cotric's not a WFB keeper (~45+ avg), so you'd be wanting to trade him out again once funds are raised to get on guys like Teddy, Ponga, Tom, RTS, Hughes, maybe Paps/Drinkwater and whoever else.

How much money do you have on the NRL being shut down in round 2?

Your death-riding of the comp is pretty hardcore

I was impressed they got their shit together for R2 but I think I’ve always been doubtful it would get much past that.

I think I said bet my house nothing past R3. Now in truth the bank owns it, and I don’t have 8 bedrooms and a pool so it’s not worth much anyway, but I think it was a fair statement.

In the last week we’ve gone from handshakes are ok (last Sunday, insiders) to every do nothing non-essential, to flights about to be banned. Next few days, possible lockdowns, possibly schools closed, possible only chemists and supermarkets opened.

The rest of the world has stopped playing games. You guys all understand data, we’re on the same curve with a 1-2 wk lag.

I think even if the NRL/AFL keeps going beyond the point any competition in the world has managed, the public tide turns against them pretty quickly.

Why is Australia so bush-league at this? Thought they had a world-class health system.

"All life" won't stop. Non-essential businesses will be asked to close temporarily.
I can tell you right now my work will continue functioning. I would not class us as essential.

Any business that has walk-in customers will be struggle big time.

If NRL players want to get together in one isolated hotel in one location and all play games at one ground or charter flights between areas, they will be allowed to do that.

This is not China-level 'weld the doors shut' lockdown.

“All life” meant life as we know it. I’ll be working from home, becuase I work in an office. Sorry if I should have spelt it out. But with everything else closing there last now way sports keep going.

567 / 14c Rank 32k. App fkd me by not saving the Drinkwater trade in, Leaving Stimson on my bench even though I swapped him for Katoa, and also locking Watkins in my emergencies before Warriors game.

:Cheer:

Got cash in the bank but might be too late hmm

Dude! Wow! Fuck man, that score is rough. I had Croft's 4 and Reimis' 14 but things have gotten a little better since then. Will still be lucky to stay in the Top 15000.

And yes, I have Reimis Smith. But don't let that decision take over the COVID-19 please...

What does non-essential lockdown mean mate? Does that mean like schools and transport and stuff?

Definitely need to unpack Smith more. I have 766/15c, with Stimson, Williams and Smith captain over Lolo. Just inside the top 5000 but expect I will lost at least 5000 places with only 2 players left

Carty > JSaifiti leaves me 285k

Means Williams/Levi > Lolo/Grant next week.

Expect Carty to go big as a consequence, deciding to give Levi/Williams/Stimson another week was a very bad idea

Grade 3 AC joint for Brodie Croft. Not as bad as it sounds, expected back round 4-5 (if that even happens) according to NRLPhysio

Levi went great first half last week, so understand why owners would persevere.

Who thinks that Carty might get a tonne this evening?

I actually pushed him to #18 for my rabble this week as have concerns with Peachey on the bench. My fear was a couple of forced offloads go wrong and some lazy tackles could see him hooked.

So he should be good for a banner!
