I haven't been that high on Burns either, frankly was sick of hearing about him every week when he was an easy trade after Rd 3, but those previous seasons are slightly misleading.
Only played 5 games last year, two off the bench and one starting CTR for 21 mins.
The two where he did play 80, he scored 43 and 50 without a try.
Don't have all his numbers from 2017, but I remember a friend had cashed out to him and he just played wing a few times midseason and wasn't involved much.
Anything above a 40 average is very good for a true CTR though, so don't think he'll score much above that longterm.
Latrell averaged 44.7 last year with 15 tries and goalkicking. Currently averaging 42.3 this year with 10 tries and goalkicking.
No real need for Burns at CTR though with Batman and Nikora, but if struggling for cash to fill your WFBs with Teddy, RTS, Tom and Ponga on the bench, could do worse than Burns.

I'm only buying Burns as an 18th man to rotate with SJ/Ponga and won't be buying him to usurp Bateman/Nikora
Without trading I would be without cover and Mann would be my 18th man who is much less useful as he is a lower scorer and his positions are already covered

215/2c
To come (chronological order):
Brooks
RTS
Johnson, Nikora, Xerri, Haas, Coates
Would be happy with anything over 500. Expect to drop ranks this round though I haven't yet.

I'll be interested to see if I stay in the top 1000 after this round, I doubt it. I didn't make any trades for this round so I have I think 5 players left after Captain CS9.

9 players is pretty norm I think. Some lucky ones with 10-11.
I am 255/3c
To come
Mann, Watson
Nikora, Xerri, Haas, SJ

The issue I have is that everyone on the sharks team will wreck the broncs.
So i'm not sure if they necessarily need to go to SJ to get over the line. Uele will probably walk over for 2 tries.

According to DT late mate Bukuya and Williams are in doubt for the Sharks.

Sometimes new blood can spark an effort in the rest of the team, kind of hoping that is what happens for the Broncos, but it is hard to see them sticking with the Sharks for 80.
The Sharks could easily win 13+ despite a big effort from the Broncos. The difference in quality is huge and if the Sharks turn up to play then we don't have much hope.

If he runs the ball like last week I don't see why he can't go huge again.

One week of Pookus' avatar and one week of Mulvy's if I lose and you both have to sport my avatar of choice if I win.
SJ is getting a ton just to let you know.
Sounds good, I have SJ so I wouldn't be unhappy with a banner for him, just not prepared to put the C on him. 76 is a tall order so I happy to take the unders.

You can set your watch to Pete Badel making some reference to SBW/Lockyer/Langer/Inglis with every single new Broncos debutant or signing.
Today, it is Keenan Palasai, who "idolised Sonny Bill Williams". lol
