Why does a single score of 15 mean he needs to prove he can still score big?
Well it's not just that, its the fact since Niko has been there his scores are 40,59,15 (avg 38). The 59 was in a 30-10 win against the panthers
where 5 NZ players scored above 50 and 9 were above 40 (Panthers had 4 go 40+). Watching the games since Niko's arrival he seems to have taken himself out of the game a little bit too allow for Nikorima to get involved and share some of the load. I would want to buy RTS with the belief he can average 45 points a game.
At the moment the top 8 averaging WFB's are
Turbo 60
Ponga 54.9
Tedesco 54.7
RTS 49.2
Wighton 47.6
Nofo 47
Walker 46.6
CNK 44.1
I think Nofo will drop out of that list being a winger. RTS current average is inflated by the big scores he was getting before Niko's arrival. At this stage i would love to grab Turbo but i think Wighton could be a dark horse to overtake RTS's position. He has had a few tries this year but he has a floor of 30 and a ceiling of 63 so far, has also gone 44 and 62 without tries the last 2 games. Raiders are making a big push for top four spot also so they will be guns blazing and also provides much needed DPP.
