How many injured CTRs average 47?

This is such a nonsensical line of argument, I can barely be bothered, but - as a physio - at what point when duffing up on the wing last year - as all wingers will at some point - do you think Kiraz "got over" his injury. Was it the one where he scored ok in fantasy?

There are no other factors that influence a wingers ability to score or not score fantasy points.

NRL Physio had Kiraz as one of his first picked this season, as he came back way too early from injury and that heavily impacted his performance, not just me saying it.

This is what the misses tells her friends.  I appreciate it. Just need some help being 'fully fit'.

I wonder how many top 10 or 20 finishes NRL Physio has had.

Yeah seems about right from the limited samples I looked up. SJ at 515 last year, Cleary at 470 with Luai 70. Foggy 388 with Wighton 172 last year and 261 and 284 respectively in 2022.

I probably should've said ~500 KM average for Foggy seems reasonable, rather than 500+.

TayMay isn't a must at this point? It's good if you started with him, but there are so many potential gun centres (Holmes, Manu, Gagai, Garrick, RTS, Tago, you could maybe add Aitken) who can match him that it seems worth treating them like gun WFBs where you buy the slump. Several of those will be available at less than $630k during the season. For example Tago with his high BE is likely to cross May in price next week, although at some point soon he'll score 70 in a game where May scores 20. They're centres. If you want a gun around May's price point, just buy Teddy, who I can confidently predict will score you more points than May this season.

Kiraz could also be one of those gun centres, but I'm also considering punting him. On the wing, he's a 40 point scorer (two years of data) and he's priced at 40. I know JAC might only be out a few weeks but once Xerri is in there's a fair chance that JAC comes back for Wilson instead and Kiraz stats wing. Without thinking about position, think I could get considerably more bang from buck from Smithies, who I should have started with.

53 minutes and 27 seconds.

Gambling on 60-65 minutes for a 50ish average. That would do me. Doesn't look to have many attacking stats in him (as expected) but there'll be turnovers and the occasional time he'll be put through a huge gap near the line or be the first to touch the ball off a batted-back kick or whatever. Can't read Ricky's mind on minutes, but he's solid as hell for the team and clearly has the motor.
