Sicily has come back after 18 months, they've been extremely cautious, so shouldn't have any issues.
Docherty was fine until they changed his position to the wing and he struggled. More comparable to NicNat in 2020 return length where he was back to his best.
There are definitely guys who struggle but if Sicily isn't confident in it after an extra 9 months he never will be.
If it makes you feel better, I've often got inside that and I still don't think I have a clue what I'm doing
That's the nature of this beast!
One thing I have learned is that fading the ultra popular guys is the quickest path to being outside the top 10k as it's a very common theme in my worst seasons!
Neale is example 150 million in the "bad preseasons lead to injuries" case study. Hopefully he'll be another fine example in the good preseasons prevent injuries as well!
Alternatively he joins the long list of ultra durable guys who fall apart but hopefully not!
FWIW I think Sicily's role is better than Whitfield's. Both are rebounding defenders but Sicily also intercepts.
Of course Sicily has another 35 guys all vying for the rebound chances as well while the Giants are a lot more focused.
I'd say there's a real case where Sicily is the top defender, I'd just say it's longer odds than Whitfield. Both are 110+ capable, it's just a lot more has to go right for Sicily but the Hawks should be really ordinary so he should have a lot of intercept chances as well and probably a higher volume of kick-ins as well.
They're that weird pair where I feel like I'm picking them for the wrong reasons and yet I feel very exposed if I don't pick them!
