In the lead-up to Round 10, Fantasy coaches face significant decisions, particularly concerning the most popular hooker (HOK).
There are some promising budget options to consider, especially given reports about the injury sustained by Mamouzelos.
Though detailed confirmation hasn't been released, it's likely he will be sidelined for at least three games, making him a candidate for release.
At $580k, carrying him for an extended period is not advisable, especially with viable alternatives available.
Tom Starling from the Raiders is priced similarly at $557k and is currently averaging in the mid-40s.
For those looking to save money, Eels rookie Ryley Smith, priced at $390k, is progressing well and may serve as a low-level keeper.
For players with some extra budget, Erin Clark presents an attractive investment at $681k.
He is logging significant minutes in the middle and is expected to maintain a crucial role throughout the season.
Additionally, he has the advantage of Dual Position Player (DPP) status as both a MID and HOK.
Overall, Fantasy coaches have various strategic options as they prepare for Round 10.
