Judd is a definite non-starter, with rumours that he could miss a month. Koschitzke has done a hamstring, and looks set to miss two or three weeks.

 

These two are both highly popular Dream Team players, which means this will affect many teams in the competition. Don’t let you be one of them.

 

At this end of the competition, you need to make your trades count – and not waste them to cover small week-to-week injuries. If you get in the habit of doing that, you’ll end up running out at season’s end, and playing someone like Cameron Cloke whose season has been declared over.

 

Yeah, there are rumours that Judd’s injury is worse than made out, and you can never really trust Kosi given his unfortunate history. But until those rumours are proven true, and until Kosi is announced to be suffering a more dangerous hamstring, you should sit tight and let your emergencies cover the gap.
