Bummer, round 5 would make a huge difference, as he could start and play 80 before TPJ gets back from suspension.

One trade-in I am very hot on which I havnt seen mentioned yet is Matterson. On the surface it looks like he is only providing exactly what was expected. But I had a closer look at his round 2 game of 52 points...

The dude was on 50 points at the 60 minute mark. He really clocked off when the score was already 26-6 and since the Eels scored 4 tries in that last 20 he barely had a chance to get involved. In fact, making an ineffective tackle which was offloaded was his only involvement in the final 12 minutes, and he could have gone 70+ if the game flowed differently. He didn’t even look especially gassed. He has also missed 7 tackles in the opening two rounds, which is out of character for him.

He is a bit like Teddy in that the key is timing him before he scores the inevitable try and gets the price jump, but I can see an 80+ point game in him when he does and I don’t want to miss out on that. I’m bringing in Lolo this week (as should anybody without him), but I’m also tossing up between Arrow and Matto for another gun trade-in and so far Matterson has the edge (pun very much intended  )

After Rnd 1 I wanted to grab Katoa and my options for trade out were Williams, Levi, and Su'A. I punted the bloke who scored 53 in round 2

Yeah but it was reported by Hooper which means the opposite is true.

Dinwiddie responded to a tweet claiming the NBA will be back by June 21. The guard responded that is merely the the start of practice, and that the game would return to its bubble site on July 15, which would fit with the three-week timeline players requested to be able to gear up for a return to the season.

Training Camp 2.0 is bound to take place in teams’ individual practice facilities. At the end of it, players of the Western Conference will move to a bubble site in Las Vegas (likely MGM Grand) and Eastern Conference players would play in Orlando (Disney World) to finish out a proposed 70-game season.

That would give most teams roughly five more games to finish out the regular season and head into the playoffs. The 70-game mark would allow teams to comply with regional broadcast conditions, salvaging some of the revenue that would have been lost if the remainder of the season was canceled.

Kick a random on the street = two match ban
Bet if he kicked someone like that during a game he'd get more than two matches.
