Yeah, him and Jack Williams. Every 2nd day for me though.

This is why I'm considering Scott as my Watkins replacement as he should get some ta's/lba's when he feeds the ball to Rapana. But then I think Rapana is 30 years old, lost a bit of pace, his pre season would of been a stroll in the Japanese rugby pre season so is he conditioned to the the nrl standard. It might take in a few games to get back into the groove.

all returned negative tests.

I hope they restart the season.......... Hahaha

What was up with Knights minutes being absolutely retarded last couple rounds? Who was benefitting most from his minutes on the pine?

With J. Brailey out for the season then Watson I assume will play big minutes at hooker since there's no real hooker backup although they have players who can fill in there.

They say you don't appreciate what you have till it's gone. I wont be taking NRL for granted again, I'm even going to watch Broncos games.

I think he means Liam Knight, not the Newcastle Knights (an apostrophe would do wonders)

And by "absolutely retarded" he means "more minutes than last years average" so I believe the problem was unrealistic expectations.

I'll even watch the small teams like the Rabbitohs and Titans

Didn't realise they were back in the comp?

They are basically playing Sua (70 mins), Murray (70 mins, 35 of that at lock), Knight (45 mins) and Lowe (55 mins) across the 3 2RF positions. Murray moves to lock when Lowe comes on.

2nd day in a row of no new covid cases in NZ, great to see

What are people's thoughts on B Brailey (453k) for resumption if you don't own him. He got 80 mins both games but Tracey came on at CTR both games due to HIA - 80 mins sustainable??

Sharks have a few CTR/wings back from injury as well (Xerri, Dugan, possibly Moylan) but lost JMoz

I dont expect 80 mins from him each week with Tracey on the bench. Lots of other priorities to get in my team at CTR for Watkins, WFB for Kennedy. If starting, Grant is a must have.

WA is crushing covid. No new cases for 6 days and only 15 active cases still in the state. Play the comp in a perth hub! i'd finally see games live

Hopefully NRLF isn't far behind...

IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

We've been working hard behind the scenes and can confirm we'll be informing you of the changes to the 2020 KFC SuperCoach #NRL season tomorrow (Wednesday). Stay tuned for an announcement at 11am (EST)

Bryce Cartwright.

With Jayden Brailey gone for the year and Levi at Manly, surely Watson gets big mins at hooker? He's pencilled straight into my team if that is the case, his scores at hooker are absolutely insane, and I doubt many people can jump on him since they're scrambling to get guys like Watkins, Stimson and J Williams out of their teams.

My plan is to carry Watkins for Rd3 and potentially loop with him, and to sell Knight to Watson, funded by Walters -> Grant. Neverf had Stimson or Williams in my side so don't have to sell them

I have no idea who are in any of my teams

Supercoach apparently allowing 5 trades for round 3.


Its interesting for SC because price changes haven't happened yet, so extra trades is a big chance to get in all the cashies before they go up, and ditch anyone who will drop cash.

Lose Stimson for no cash penalty? Yes please!

Total trades remaining the same, as insurance against mass stand downs of players.
