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

Righto fellas I have good info (from his cousin who's also quite close with him) that Crichton has the flu. It's not corona but he still won't be playing this week. Does aubo shift to actual centre? What does this mean for us? I'm considering Aubo --> Hess now.

Thinking of Downgrading Lolo to Sua and changning Rudolf to Friend. I just have this weird feeling Sua is gonna punch out a 50

If this is true we should hear something soon and I'll go Aubbo to Burns... or Sell Aubbo for Friend/Sua and put Wiliame into ctr

Was that Vlandy? What a fkn spud. 100% he's more worried about loss of revenue. Just play with closed doors.

A
Friend & Levi

B
Lolo & Hess

Or maybe some other combo I haven't thought of just yet

B if you think the Cows will have a good year.

Someone should watch this

Colleague of mine is Taiwanese and she was telling me about this 125 point plan their government have progressively put in place as things have developed. I looked it up and it's pretty comprehensive. Built on their prior knowledge from SARS/swine flu etc - 45 cases and only 1 death as at March 10. Considering their population and proximity to China etc it is actually rather amazing

I was set on doing the Moses/Cleary combo but I keep coming back to Ponga vs Warriors. I could potentially go Croft & Ponga or stick with Cleary and Isaako. Is anyone else considering Isaako?

If Croft gets the kick meters and Ponga goes big against the Warriors that could be a good combo.

Did any Survivor players guess sub-100k aggregate crowds for round 1

Situation could change quickly, mate. You might be unhappy in an hour or so.

Interview looks like it was a few weeks back

Neither are ready for 80 minutes in the middle
Josh played a bit at the back of last year, so Walters not sure who will be picked but ready if he is
Benji says Walters brings professionalism from Melbourne system, really tough and loves the hard yards. Benji says Walters leading the race to start round 1
Walters has learnt a lot from Farah about playing 9. Walters wants to play a similar role in the game plan taking pressure off Benji and Brooks
McGuire was adamant in signing Walters so knew there would be opportunity

Edit: although other sources suggest that it will go ahead.

Have missed 20+ pages of the feed...you'd think the season had started. I assume Stimson is a dud.
Shout out to @Milchcow who advised me to drop S.Crichton as WFB cover, re-jigged my bench, but this meant dropping Stimson for a stronger back. Legend.

Ironically, a lot of people thought Eels might win the minor prem this year and doggies get the spoon.

Just didn't expect that to the the season's final result after one game/

SKY announcing that ScoMo will be announcing they will be going along with the recommendation to ban gatherings of 500+ people.
The news conference is imminent (ABC & Sky both standing by). Hopefully for now it will mean no crowds, rather than a ban

Who are the fantasy relevant players who are due back in a few weeks?

Dylan Edwards
John Bateman

who else?
