NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 9

The gamble is that you bank on him coming back again after his rest. If he does get 40 minutes he will go close to 40 points and be one of the most undervalued non-rookies in the game. I just can’t fit him in at the moment, which hurts considering he costs a pittance. Madge also loves to musical chairs with his forwards which is a worry, but for 384k the potential certainly balances the risks

Leilua

Tapine
Carrigan (once DPP is added)
Knight (once DPP is added)

Just need to pick the right ones

" as part of a revamped right edge with back-rower Tohu Harris and centre-turned-winger Patrick Herbert."

Also sounds like Herbert has the spot locked up.

Most of us though Edwards and Holland would be good picks last year

Depending on my iteration, I've got Haas, Fifita, Friend, (Hess??)

And some of us kept thinking this in the face of all evidence to the contrary for waaaay too long...

That's twice I've heard someone say that. I don't think it's true. He started prop five times last year and had two stints each time according to MTB's interchange timeline. Just crappy minutes each stint.

Wow those are crappy minutes if true. Must have been doing 15 minute stints, which is pretty sub par for a prop. The one time he did get 45 minutes he got 59 points, albeit with 5 uncharacteristic TBs.

Lots of props get small stints, its just than other than during fantasy pre-season, nobody really cares.

Pookus McFly wrote:

Fair enough for interchange players getting one stint, but surely that is unders for a starting prop with two stints and a rest in between. Most coaches at least want a 20 minute stint from their starting props, so getting 30 minutes all up from two stints seems a bit average. If they are only doing 15 mins at the start and end of each game, they are resting for an hour in between!!

MOFO had similar minutes in 2018, albeit mostly off the bench (avg 28 in 31 mins) to Mikaele in 2019 (avg 26 in 30 mins).

Obviously the trick is trying to work out if Mikaele gets the minutes pump this year that he needs. His career trajectory should be on the up..

Looks like Mikaele has the starting spot locked down so that is one thing in his favour.
