NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 27 - No really, Shibasaki was dropped!

Well fuck, just got home and saw the news. No trades left, no back up as I have Ponga staring at me. Riding with 16 this week. How Shiba gets dropped over Tuala makes no sense.

Shiba to Crichton could help me in H2Hs with people that have maxed trades and no CTR cover

Centres are absolutely stuffed. I'm lucky to have Capewell, Aubbo, Lomax & Wiliame. I think ill keep 2 of those and trade in Best if he looks decent this round.  

Might look at:

Mann > Best
Kennedy > Fogarty
Aubbuson/Lomax > Ponga

Wiliame can then sit in the 18th spot in my team.

It's not a left vs right side thing is it?

I’m sure his 20 points will be useful to someone haha

I think the weirdest thing about Shiba getting dropped is Best was playing on the left last year

Both CTRs played good but I thought Tuala would be dropped simply because Best is a left CTR

Cleary was saying after round 2 that he needs to find Crichton a starting spot, given his form.
He is better than Naden in defence and better than Whare in attack. If he performs well today, should hold a starting spot.

How secure is capewell in that spot?

Is Hetherington a risk?

This round is literally Murphy's law incarnate

Of suspension

Yes

Hetherington is mostly a risk to himself

Good luck lads. Time for a beer and a big f*** you to Fiona

Great news to wake up to! Never mind

This sounds exactly like Magoulias starting ahead of Williams. And Magoulias getting a bench spot ahead of Sorensen. And Magoulias getting decent minutes.

Wasn't it you saying there is zero chance that a Fifita injury sees Rudolf starting??

Keep looking for Capewell at centre

Lots of people have already answered this, but just to clarify because its commonly misunderstood - you have only listed 4 players here - but you have 8 players who could potentially sub for Shibasaki (whoever is in positions 14-21 on your team list)

of the players you have listed, only Aubusson is able to replace a CTR
