The more people in league circles I talk to, the more I hear "The NRL isn't coming back this year". Clubs beginning to concede it makes more sense to restart in 2021.

Tyson Frizell signed with Knights from 2021

The only silver lining I can see if NRL is done for 2020 (other than saving face from my abysmal start to Fantasy), is that it was already painfully obvious to me after just two games that the South Sydney pack was too small and largely untalented. The arrival of Jai Arrow before the Titans had a chance to run him into the ground this season will go a long way to making them more competitive in 2021. I feel we are just one second rower short of a contending team. Fifita would have just about guaranteed a premiership, but he turned us down and now my hopes of Frizell are also dashed. I wonder who else is on market for then?

Hey Filth, I don't know if its part of your circle or not, but Mrs Cow and I are doing a remote quiz tonight organised by a bunch of frisbee people, and will probably do it every Friday (assuming they continue it). If you know the people involved and are ever around sign up and I might see you there

What made u switch 3 months ago ? Are u closer to retirement than your galavanting bird snaps suggest ?

We are 5 years away from retirement age although we have basically already retired. So when things were flying high with the stock market we judged that that wouldn't last. Made a conservative play. Who could have guessed what has happened but it's kind of worked for us. My lesser amount of super stayed at balanced growth to counter that play.
And I might start to post some bird photos as things become quieter around here.

I don't think it really matters what anyone wants or thinks... if you (not you, WT2K) look at the state of Earth as it is now and think there will be more NRL played this year, I certainly wish I shared your (not you, WT2K) incredible optimism. Just look at the state of the joint.

I know it was only round 2 (and they'd looked terrible one week and good another - against the likely spooners) but I'd love to get a little insight into Jesus' plan to see if it would in fact have been the year of the Eel. They would have found a way to fuck it up, no doubt, but it's fitting that this would happen in the year when they were the team on many people's pouted lips.

As for Fantasy, I was off to an average start but was pretty well stacked with guns and Williams/Stimson had just cleared up some nice cash to work with. I was happy with where I was at, but I guess we'll never know.

If, however, I'm proved wrong and by some miracle the season 2020 recommences, I will be amazed and joyous.

I think the best chance of nrl restarting this season is NZ beats corona virus, nrl gets special dispensation to send everyone to NZ and they all go into quarantine for a month to get the all clear. Then all games played in Auckland every week.

Would be the 2nd code in the world to start up again after the nz domestic rugby competition. Would be able to sell viewing rights internationally and get league on the global stage.

Boris Johnson and his health secretary both have corona. Can’t help but feel it is their own fault with their own crazy policy that caused them to get it as they didn’t bother trying to control it when they could have.

Ah ok well good for you CD.

Yes, with some areas being potentially quieter, it should mean more opportunity to find harder to seek birds.

So if there is no competition this year should all players receive a discount next year for playing under 10 games?

Guns for everyone!

Would expect pricing next year to be based on 2019 scoring, with maybe some adjustments for 2020 scoring

Haha love it, yeah there's a group of people who do one of the newspaper quizes and post in a facebook group. Big thing.
Haven't heard of this online group quiz but will keep an eye out.

My group of mates are playing online party games/board games on Fridays now it seems. Had a good laugh and several beers last night.

Could pick up Burns and Latrell for rookie price

Very nice

So Lads and Ladesses, a question.....

Tevita Pangai jnr (suspension, round six) if in the unlikely event we got some more league this year does this still stand? Will it rollover to round 1 2021?

Same question for Hudson Young.

Suspension is for games not weeks so yes

Hudson Young’s suspension already went from 2019 to 2020

Bang on Camo123. This seems to be a popular question haha
