NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

You never know when a week like this will happen

The loopers running a couple of NPR's would be hurting too or anyone who gambled hard to bring in keepers early with questionable cash outs. Throw in some bad luck and you have this apocalypse

The sword cuts both ways when deciding to hold or sell the likes of Williame,Kennedy etc
Sometimes they return a few weeks later and you kick yourself for not keeping (Shibasaki,Wakeham) but given the size of the bench it is always risky

Down 5 players but Twal + a decent bank should let me plug the gaps.
Have to sit down and think with next week trades in mind too (as it may be better to go 4 middies now for depth vs 2 guns + 2 cows)

Definitely interesting and given how similar teams, no byes and how tight the overall ladder is, this week will definitely shake things up

(also a humblebrag I'm in 10th had ulterior motives in looking this up, have 5 dots and no Teddy so him being rested would be my personal preference )

Katoa out has me considering mid-range - SMat fairly palatable because of ability of CTR shift next week when Carrigan is back and I assume Katoa back too

Last year he averaged 29 at 2RF (8 games, 75 minutes)
2018, 1 game, 23 points, 74 minutes
2017, 20 games, 36 points, 72 minutes
2016, 4 games, 42 points, 80.5 minutes
2015, 1 game, 23 points, 80 minutes


His problems in the past have been getting shifted to centre (probably not an issue) and frequent HIAs (possibly still an issue)
His current scoring his above his previous average - this could be sustainable to some degree given the new rules/style of play

Many on this site have been burned by him  in the past and are thus wary of him, but if he stays injury free he's probably a good bet
