NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 3

Examples of Strong / Weak halves combinations the last couple of years:
DCE/any of them next to him have been weak
Milf/any of them next to him have been weak
Moses/It took Norman leaving to make him a strong dominant player

Their strong scoring tends to be because the guys next to them are weaker. Cleary has been scoring at that same level as these guys, despite having a strong halves partner in Maloney next to him. This season he takes full control and takes things to the next level.

Most of the players are in a lot of teams here, so I don't see why people will

Do you expect Ese'ese to start? I assume so otherwise what are you expecting from him

Personally I don't see a lot of value in Nathan Brown. Don't think he is underpriced enough to make decent cash, and don't think he scores well enough to be a season keeper.

The thing that drew me to Cleary was the fact he only had 9 try assists and 8 line break assists all year. Those are absurd numbers for a "dominant" half

Cook or McInnes
Haas + 300-400 FRF
3 x 400-500 2RF (most options have been posted)
Moses + Doueihi (cant afford Croft at this point)
Lomax + Best
Pap + Isaako + Brimson

Friend + Koro + Brailey + Grant
Luai + 3 x 250

A bit exposed at 2RF, hopefully can score heavy enough anyway. Hmmm

The Panthers are worse than the Sharks, so that's a reason to think twice about Cleary as much as Johnson. 

I dunno. There are four potential gun halves (DCE, Moses, SJ, Cleary) as well as a couple who could be (Milford,, Hunt) but have more of a reason to wait and see, and a few (Brooks, Pearce, Munster) who are a notch down but could elevate.

Of the four, I don't like Moses, who had a career year last year and I would expect Dylan Brown to do a lot more this season than last. SJ and Cleary both solid picks but see above, and Cleary SoO. Safest pick and probably highest scorer is DCE but he's more expensive and Origin as well.

Nb. I dont support any team unless they are playing the Storm.

Averaged 29.6 last year across 9 games where he got 60 or more minutes, without scoring a try, and dropping the ball every time he got near it (well, he dropped it a lot.. averaged 1.2 errors per game).

Comes at the same price as Best.

Change of scenery might see him find his feet in the NRL. One of only a couple of players to play U16s, U18s, and U20s origin.

Whoever gets the centre spot at the knights is going to be fairly cheap.

How keen are you to run 2 Newcastle centres in your team anyway.

From a fantasy point of view, a fit Moga offers the best value

Don't think Shibasaki will be in first grade tbh. Behind both Best and Moga for mine
