NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 22 - I don't cope well without Capewell

It's 2020 all over again. We'll be remembered as the team that "couldn't manage the three-peat" and yet we were ravaged by injuries last year. This year looks similar and I'm just hoping our depth holds up. Will certainly be a big test.

Pretty standard ignorance from sports commentators tbh

So little understanding of concussions out there.

Yep. Walking off and putting pressure on knee hopefully a good sign.

Took a fair chunk of dirt out when his knee hit the ground. Hopefully just some pain from the impact rather than structural damage

Or he could have just brought Fletcher Baker on. Very strange.

Compare Clearys head knock to that one and he is out for the week. There's little/no chance he's back next week.

That is not how concussion works

The way Keary is running the show, covering both channels, kicking, pretty much doing the work of both halves plus Tedesco having his share, then a second half for the roosters isn't really a must have. Apart from tackling in his channel, which has been really strong, lam has been pretty anonymous in attack. 1 run, a tackle bust or maybe 2, what bad luck with the injury he seems to have acquired.
Will Sam walker really be a necessity for fantasy selection, other than his cheap price. Time will tell

Seen worse concussions and the player has played the next game.

Junk points for captain BMoz

I regret nothing... other than reversing Lam out trade

Him being 200k cheaper than Lam makes him worthwhile if Lam injury is serious, but yeah, not convinced he’d be a 17 player

Angus has missed far more than 2 tackles tonight - prepare for a downgrade Angus captainers.

Lindsay Collins to hospital. Observation purposes

Thought SST looked injured, been limping, probably confirmed with Ted kicking

With Verrils returning soon, maybe they just run Hutchison at 5/8.

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SERIOUS FUCKKKKKKK

Keary hamstring...?

Keary's done his hammy, the Chooks are truly fucked now.

Koala off. Looked like he had a big of a stinger. Hopefully okay.

Sam Walker might be a bit like Schuster, once he gets a spot might make himself undroppable.

Keary down too, Roosters can't buy a trick tonight

She is probably repeating the exact words from the Roosters medics but in saying that, she could've chosen not to repeat it.
