NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 3

I think it will be close. Moga has been rubbish since having 1 good season for the Broncos. Admittedly has had injury problems, but last season his  attitude was poor and he is generally bad defensively.

Shibasaki is strong defensively and that may be the way O'Brien goes as they aren't short of strike power elsewhere in the backline.

EDIT: I wouldn't run two Newcastle centres, no chance. Just putting up some different discussion tbh.

It's just such an awkward price point for Best and Shiba. Centres avg something like 28 fantasy points and if these guys did that, they'd be a dud pick. If a base pricer comes along and averages 28 you're making money. You just don't know which of them, if any, are gonna get a run of scores. I'm inclined to give Best and Shiba the miss, hope for a base pricer, or failing that, put Burns and Lomax in there.

Is Billy Magoulias injured? Cant find any info

Reagan Campbell-Gillard has played since 2016 with an ulnar nerve issue in his elbow. He would commonly get a shooting pain down his arm which could cause a “deadness” & numbness in fingers (think hitting your “funny bone”). Can even cause weakness in the forearm/hand.

RCG required frequent injections to play each week. As a result he had surgery for the 2nd time of his career this offseason (usually ulnar nerve decompression; used to relieve pressure on nerve via scar tissue release, bone fragment removal etc) & is now having no issues with it

Makes you wonder if it affected his fantasy scores. Should have a big role at the Eels. Basically zero attacking stats in his average. Undervalued I'd say, probably not enough though.

Do you reckon having Arrow, Tohu Harris, D Fifita, Sua, Lowe and Stimson is overkill?

Nick Cotric bounce back season?

Only A Fifita and Xerri on the Sharks injury list. You must just be worried about the lack of stories involving houses being trained down

I am going to try and stick with this until after the trials..  I doubt I will..

Friend
Haas, Fotuaika
J. Bateman, Stimson, F.Fifita
Cleary, Luai
Best, Lomax
Papa, Doueihi, Brimson

B.Brailey, Koro, H.Grant, Faasumaleaui
Magoilias, Rudolf, Musgrove, $228K

Thoughts?

Apparently Haas just sprained his ankle

I have ulnar nerve problems in my right arm, it can be really bad, I literally can't unscrew a water bottle lid sometimes and it gets worse when I lift heavy weight.
I say for RCG it was scar tissue restricting his nerve, so if hes got the surgery to fix that, he should be feeling a hell of a lot better, physically and mentally.
I can say the biggest thing to the injury, is that it mentally affects you, its just always there and it limits you, so hopefully with it gone he's been able to get back into the swing of things which will give him heaps of confidence.

The ones you want to start =/= the ones that will start. Johns and Toa are no chance

Kepaoa is way more likely considering he is training with WCC squad.

Leleisioau is also behind some experienced outside backs in Sami/Don who have done the job before

With no Nikora/Bateman types looking likely and the unknown with Latrell moving to South's its back to the days of dealing with Gun centres that still put up a rubbish score. I think Marsters and Croker could have potential to end up back in to top scorers at Ctr but rather than waste trades on getting them out if they underperform the cheapie ctrs route looks to be the best. Lomax and Moga/Milne/Tuala for me

At $228k these plus Kepaoa are the pick of the bunch (pretty slim pickings overall)
