I am on team Tohu.
There's a chance Tommy may get  a rest this week (he may also score 90 points in 50 minutes, that is the risk)

Was the question from a kid called Matt from NZ?

What are you doing for players who are made to quarantine due to COVID at no fault of their own (eg. Curran)? Free trade? Apply their average for the weeks they are set to miss?

I like the balls of starting on the basis that compensation if a player is quarantining for COVID is a given, so the question is just about the terms of the compensation..

This is why we got free trades last year.

Tbf the answer is a pretty resounding "no".

I love Kyrgios. Has definitely had some pretty bad tantrums in the past but I have no issue with him calling out the surface in this one.
He's now an underrated player and people still judging him for things he did as a teenager.

Meanwhile Paire has a tantrum on the court, tanks and claims he's injured just to get at the umpire and people are worried for his mental health rather than saying he was acting like a sook.

I also love Kyrgios for calling out Djokovic for being a cunt

I've jumped off cause I don't want to own any Tigers. Getting benched against Melbourne before having score saved by injury was the wake up call I needed.

High floor, passes eye test, plays round 13

This...Djokovic is one of those dudes who over eggs the salad when trying to be a 'nice guy' because he's thinking 'this is what nice guys do'.......actually a sociopath al la Tom Cruise

He's like Ronaldo. Amazing talent who would be the greatest player of almost any other generation but cursed to be remembered as the second-best (actually in Djokovic's case the third-best) of his time. Plus he's a dick.

I have dumped Lucy this week (over Brailey/Watson who get another week or 2 to hang around)

He was hooked for Blore last week, who is on the bench again. Sure he can pump out some big attacking stats, but his side has been exposed defensively a lot recently, and not sure going up against the Souths left edge is going to see him turn the corner.

Rotinaj wrote:Tossing up between Haas and Thompson. If Haas doesn't play round 18 then he will need to score 13 more points than Thompson to be worth it long term. Given he gets a 20+ rest every week I don't know if he's still worth it. Do we think it's possible that people are just hoping he turns in to Haas from last year?

TU: Thompson
TD: Haas
