✕ AVOID

Banks managed just 2 in R6 before going off with a confirmed collarbone injury — multiple community reports (conf=9) indicate he will miss at least R7 with Tom Brown expected to take his spot. After three rounds of inconsistent scoring (77, 56, 65, 2), this is a forced exit. Trade him out now and replace before he's locked on your bench.
