This is the unspoken tragedy of all these lockdowns

Fantasy Olympics it is

Its round about this time that the NRL probably wishes they didn't have heaps of COVID breaches.
Might help with exemption requests if we'd been complying until now.

I just reversed my trades

Staying clear of the shower in case the games come back on

UPDATE: A bus has arrived @RaidersCanberra hotel to take them to airport for moved match to Townsville v @NRLKnights @telegraph_sport with @MCarayannis

Please.

Why? You just can't pretend like these games didn't happen or the scores didn't exist.

I don't know how they'll work around it but that would be shithouse to just erase everything.

Worth reversing SJ to Ponga just in case then?

I guess I can reverse my centre trade. I'll keep DCE though.

Keep the scores so far I reckon, early captain paying off.

Maybe not such a bad move to have captain score already squared away.

I don't think they can count the scores for this weekend, unless the games for this weekend go ahead at a later date. It would be pretty unfair (despite the fact it would be nice for me)

Nnnoooooo then I lose Manu 70 and Douiehi 79.

But you can do that trade you missed because you were ‘in the shower’

So is it correct that as it currently stands, Souths v Illawarra the only game that can happen?

If you had trades, being a hit arsy and looking at someone like Latrell or Hunt instead on Ponga might be an option. Or instead of a Trindall cashout someone cheap from one of those teams.

Post up from NRL site:

The NRL has today placed all 16 clubs on Level 4 Biosecurity Protocols.

All clubs have been advised to inform their players to return to the team hotels and remain at the team hotels until further notice.

The NRL is working with the Queensland Government, clubs and broadcast partners to determine the best course of action for today’s matches.

I’m not confident the games will go ahead today

But if the games go ahead, say, next week, do I get to recaptain? I reckon they should keep all scores from this weekend, play the remaining games next weekend as standalones, then use this round of fantasy as a 2 week period. Start round 21 in 2 weeks time.

Probably overlooking some insane booking/sponsor/player/fan issues, but hey, someone's gotta start the problem solving process.

Fuck off,I could have held my 2nd last trade then if I knew this would happen

Unless the remaining games for this round never happen, they can’t just wipe the scores from the ones that have. It’s just unlucky for those with late captains. I’m sure there will be some extra trade or other compensation to try and level the advantage a bit, depending on outcomes.

I was joking (kinda - my scores have been a bit crap). But what on earth makes you think they can't just pretend these games didn't exist? They (Fantasy) can do whatever the hell they want.

Hopefully they can all do the right thing over the next 4 days and grab some brownie points back.

Dear Fanhub,

Could you please turn back time to just before the Broncos game so I can take Verrills 37 instead of playing Kobe….everything else is fine and also fuck everyone else & their teams.

Respectfully,
