ONE COULD be mistaken for thinking that the bye rounds are already here, with a few players leaving some donut-shaped holes in our Fantasy squads.

The most popular player traded in for the last two weeks due to his huge price drop, Tom Rockliff, re-broke three ribs against the Saints and is set to miss 4-6 weeks.

The highly selected FWD/RUC Mitch Clark is also looking unlikely for around two weeks with an ankle injury.

Adding to these outs, there is some doubt over Marcus Bontempelli and Adam Oxley’s position in their respective sides, after being subbed out with minor injuries.

And don’t get us started on the go-to captain Jordan Lewis, who burnt a few coaches with his late withdrawal last Saturday. Hopefully he is out there racking up a big score this Sunday to make up for it.

Don’t forget that this is the last weekend before the three multi-bye rounds where default leagues have a break (trades can still be made). 

Those coaches going for the overall prize/ranking need to aim to have as many players on their field for each weekend from rounds 11-13 as the best 18 scores are counted towards your weekly total.

Although we could make a case that the ‘best 18’ rule for the byes to be implemented a week early, unfortunately we are just going to have to deal with it!
