NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 81 - Shock! Shower Power Actually Works!

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.  

In relation to the current situation, this is a game, means nothing. Getting games played is what the real issue is. Even then, it's still just a game. IMO, if this is the strictest lockdown, then games probably should just be called off, postponed whatever.

But letting scores rollover or erasing the week depending on what happens, they can do whatever they think is warranted. No one besides us really could give two fucks on the outcome of NRL Fantasy.

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

Someone will put hash in the brownies for sure!

It’s ‘Nangs R Lovely’ old timer!!

Vlandys will be a genius if he negotiates his way out of this

Because they're fucking official games of rugby league played?

If they cancel the fantasy scores then whatever but what are the competition points taken away? Does Nathan Brown have one less coaching win on his career stat sheet? Does Joey Manu breaking the run metre record not exist anymore?

That's what I mean by they can't pretend the games don't exist.

I think Soylent saying they was referring purely to FanHub, not the NRL. That's how I read it anyway.

Manu didn't break it anyway. Gutho had 369 in round 14 2020, Manu had 331 this week

Its only a 4 day lockdown, so one option the NRL has is to finish this round next weekend, and just delay the comp a week.

Fuck Covid.

If we end up with surprise double game weeks, it's going to be a massive advantage to those with trades left.
Imagine if Cleary gets to play twice in a round.

NZ win

Posted it on Reddit, but might as well see what people here think as well.


Let's say Storm/Panthers get postponed or a week and Cleary is fit to play. Should he be allowed to, or should the Panthers have to play the same 17 they named (except if there is an injury at training).

I'm on the side of he shouldn't be allowed, but the 2/3 replies I got said he should.


Btw, not think fantasy perspective, more of a rules perspective

So the Dragons players are in their Brisbane hotel, are they hiding under their beds lol?.......

I think the games will go ahead up north. No virus up there at this stage and small population. Would be crazy not to relocate.

Would bring the entire game into disrepute.














I did just want to use the word disrepute tbh.

What a game. Might be the only rugby of any variety we get today.

If the game is played at another time of course clubs should be able to name new teams.

What happens if they reschedule these games for after R26. Should Penrith have to play a team they named weeks earlier.
