NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 15 - It's still game day!

Rippin and Tearin wrote:Just listened to Dan Patrick out of the States list about 20 sports/competitions in the US alone that were either called off completely, or to be played without fans. Its just a matter of time folks. Once the WHO declared a pandemic the dominoes just started falling.

The initial domino wasn't the pandemic declaration, it was players getting it.

Maybe we'll get a week or so behind closed doors, but as soon as 1 player tests positive then it will get shut down

And if I had Stimson he looks to me to be a 35-40 point scorer and no way would I be trading him if starting. Those that didn't have him can be thankful he only scored 24, but to me he looked like he was trying a bit to hard in his debut for the dogs. Work rate on defense was very good. He will be better for the run and no need to panic.

Reason why I didn't pick Stimson was that I wanted someone I thought could post 45+ in Ese'ese, or rather just go a base price player like Musgrove or Guler. Which is why I bypassed Brailey and Stimson and Su'a.

Also, to be fair, the highest point scorer of the game was Mahoney with 54 and a try included, so across the board it was a dud of a fantasy game.

If Pay thought Stimson did a good job then that's a good sign. He did do okay, just needs some ball and yeah as Mike said, it does look like he was trying too hard.

Now after that I've woken up sweating about Watkins and Hess today.

Not sure if anyone here plays nba fantasy but the year is completely ruined.

The 30-day suspension would be in a best-case scenario, but it wouldn't be surprising to see it go beyond that, as the CBA is just getting back after a 10-week shutdown. We still don't know when or if this season will continue, but even if it does, the league will then need to decide if they want to play an abbreviated regular-season schedule; or simply move directly into the postseason. We'll continue to post updates here as they become available.

This, only 8 players better or matched their BE in that game

I am definitely in the Stimson is a hold camp. Would be more concerned if I had JMK... thankfully I dumped him yesterday arvo.

I was really hoping if I got COVID19 I was going to get to kick it back and watch all the games, guess I’ll just have to use the Dunny rolls and make a fort out of it like everyone else.

I think it's unlikely round 2 will be played next weekend at this rate.

Fuck me boys can tell fantasy Is back! Not even a round gone some on about giving players the hook. Worried about Stimson and JMK

Guns like Moses and Brown went well unders and worried about cash makers. Need to be looking at role. 70 minutes for Stimson and 80 JMK. Both will fly over priced avg. settle down

I wouldn't be overly concerned about any players last night. It was a low scoring game all round, and things will improve for both teams

What’s better?

Lomax + 28k ITB

Or

Watkins + 101k ITB

That's the kind of crazy I like!

I captained Cleary.

Poddy captain high five!

I guess I was lucky last night as I only had the one player .... Sivo for a big 23!
I was surprised he got so many actually, as the Eels seemed to always go right, to Ferguson's wing, and the Dogs kept kicking the same way.

I guess my pain will start today/tomorrow as more of my players play

YOU SETTLE DOWN, I"LL FUCKING HAVE YOU.

How do we think Arrow will go today.

That's a bloody tough one. I guess it depends what you can do with the extra cash.

*Checks draft and regular team, as well as his opposition this week*
Ahh, I'd say terrible, 5 after getting sent off 20min into the game.

So still fiddling over here. Bird's injury really upturned the apple cart.

Would you prefer being stuck on a desert island with:

A) T.Turbo, Lomax, Su'a and Horesburgh

or

B) Isaako, D.Walker, Knight and Ese'ese?

Or some other ungodly combination of the above?

Loving these poddy picks.

Nah man, the official pandemic announcement was the catalyst for all this. Not one player from the NBA. But anyway, doesn't really matter, at the end of the day all sport will get suspended.
