Very Happy!!

Having 2nd thoughts about TTurbo as my last gun and 3rd WFB (with Ponga on the bench covering WFB/HLF) but other options leave me with lesser players in Coates this week if there's a late out (Moses) and then gun forwards at HOK (Friend) and 2RF (Jurbo) would leave me without cover for the season in one position (most likely HLF or WFB)

Thoughts on TTurbo v Moses assuming Ponga plays (if Ponga doesn't play I can't get Moses without playing Coates). I think I'm ruling out Friend and Jurbo as I already have 3 guns in 2RF and HOK and capable 2RF backup in Taupau

Gillett ruled out for QLD. I imagine Fifita starts and Lowe comes onto the bench. Anyone wanna chuck 10$ on NSW 20+ and QLD to nil?

EDIT: Apparently Napa has been flown into camp.

I guess it depends on why you are having second thoughts.

Is burns a final 17 player realistically? Can’t afford to get turbo in wfb.

Moreso actually having 2nd thoughts about the structure of packing the last money I have into the 17 because of SJ and having a cheaper and less reliable 18th man rather than TTurbo and Moses themselves (18th man is Mann currently but want to get Burns next week) and thinking about spreading the money between 18th man with someone like Latrell and going for a lesser gun at some risk to open up some looping options if SJ continues to be invisible

Probably not but I think some teams will take the punt on it - or be forced to anyway due to lack of trades.

* SJ shitting the bed, Ponga into the halves and Burns playing in the WFB
* Nikora could be pushed out of final 17s for the run home. Burns might be the person do it

For my team, I'm having a look at a pukey sideways trade of Xerri to Burns. I need the 50k and I need the dpp cover.

I think they'll average out pretty similar between now and the end of the season. Turbo has the better fantasy output, but is likely to pick up a niggle, I put him in the high risk player group (together with Dugan, Arey, Roache, Griffin and SJ)

Ponga for prez wrote:Is burns a final 17 player realistically? Can’t afford to get turbo in wfb.

As a WFB, probably not. As a CTR he honestly might be a better option than Nikora based on recent form. Nikora has one score over 40 in his last 4 games.

MILFORD trained today and appeared to be moving freely according to Mark Gottlieb from Fox

Whattabitch

Probably not

The top 4 actual centres (excluding Nikora and Bateman) average 43.6, 43.6, 41.7, 41.4

If your exclude his injury game, Burns is averaging 50.7 from 3 games. This is a small sample size and I don’t think it’s sustainable. I may be wrong but I think Burns will average 45 at the most. He is still great value at 443k, I just can’t see him averaging 50 by the end of the season

This drop to 3rd is my first ranking drop since round 6. BOOOO!

This is an interesting one -

Hearing Adam Doueihi likely to play fullback for South Sydney this weekend against Manly. Could be long-term option in the position.
