With one of the game's most electrifying ball-runners, one of the hardest-working middle forwards in the NRL and a new face set to wear the No.9 jersey, the Warriors have some intriguing candidates for your NRL Fantasy team in 2020.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
Winger/fullback, $738,000
Tuivasa-Sheck is coming off the second 50-points-a-game season of his career and his first as a Warrior, having stepped up from a 44-point player in his Dally M-winning 2018 season to average 52 in 2019.
It was the first time since his breakout 2015 campaign at the Roosters that RTS made more than 200 metres per game, and also the first time he's reached double figures for try assists at the Warriors.
At 26, the skipper is hitting his peak and could make another leap this season.
Jazz Tevaga
Hooker, second-rower, $727,000
The 2018 Dally M Interchange Player of the Year made the move into the Warriors' starting side midway through 2019, and his Fantasy scoring took a leap.
After 14 rounds on the bench Tevaga was averaging 38 points a game; then in 11 games as a starter he averaged an excellent 58.
He'll start the new season with a break even of 48 but he'll miss the opening rounds due to an ankle injury – making him an intriguing point-of-difference option to keep in mind when upgrading your cash cows from round six.
Five key match-ups of the Warriors' 2020 draw
Wayde Egan
Hooker, $384,000
Hooker is traditionally one of the highest-scoring positions in Fantasy and in 2020 there should be some great value buys there as well.
Egan looms as one of those potential bargains if he wins the No.9 jersey at the Warriors after making the move from Penrith.
Injuries to Nathaniel Roache and Tevaga and the departure of Issac Luke means the role should be Egan's in round one (assuming he's fully fit after his own shoulder surgery), and with a break even of 26 he can earn some big price rises if he scores around 40 points a game.
Egan scored 46 points per 80 minutes last year but only played the full 80 once at the Panthers – an increase in game time should obviously lead to a big boost in scoring.
