In Round 19 of Fantasy NRL, uncertainty looms over the availability of key players following the Origin decider, leading to anxious moments for coaches.
Reports indicate that injuries have opened up opportunities, particularly with the emergence of a promising cash-down option.
A standout candidate is new Knights fullback, Fletcher Hunt, who boasts an almost rock-bottom price of $232k.
His potential job security is noteworthy, especially with Kalyn Ponga and possibly Fletcher Sharpe out for the season.
Hunt may serve as a dependable player, earning you points weekly except during Round 22 when the Knights have a bye.
His performance at fullback shows promise, as he averaged 29 points in his sole game in that position compared to an average of 18 points on the wing across four matches.
Additionally, it's worth considering Wests Tigers playmaker Latu Fainu, who enters Round 19 with a break-even of -5 at a price of $380k.
