Yeah, Bird and Niu is fine with me. Avo as backup.

They giving out TO's like lollies, but Milf puts up a towering inferno of a bomb that the FB spills forward and nothing!

Roosters update

Walker + Hutchison training as halves

Suaalli likely to be added to squad but unlikely to play

To those with Moylan and have him in their EMG's, would you play him this week against the Cowboys?

Aside from one horrid defensive game, he's actually been scoring pretty decently and surely he can rack up some attacking stats against the Cowboys.

Just trying to figure out who I should bench for him.

The phrase "set and forget CTR" is only setting you up for heartache.

I like to think about it as 'set and forget until next round' If you do it early enough in the week you can really stretch it out.

Okay, who is the cheapest fit Centre with any job security.

Fusitu’a $251k
Averillo $292k
D Walker $316k
Roberts $334k, $2k discount
Niu $334k
Htf $354k
Opacic $374k ... now starting to get up there in price.

Technically, I only need cover for one week but would rather avoid future use of Averillo and it seems silly to waste a trade. That’s how you end up looking at Peach, Rapana, Momo and Crichton.

You are game mate.

I'm only really considering Peachy because:

a) I stupidly thought it was a good idea to trade my only CTR cover (Averillo) last week, and with Bird suspended I have to bring someone in.
b) I'm trading out a MID, so Peachy's DPP makes me less nervous with Stefano my only other backup.

Lodge has been scoring me points by getting Alvaro/Leniu roulette correct the last 2 rounds

If I did buy him (which is actually unlikely) I would try to think of him as the mid priced MID I picked up early who goes on to score at around his original price (didn't go with any of Tino, Welch, Bsmith, SST etc) with the added bonus that he plays CTR

I’m still locked out on my mobile is lockout still not lifted?

If it wasn't for Peachy's MID DPP, I'd probably be bringing in Farnworth this week. He's been genuinely good IRL so far this season, and 74 without a try isn't to be scoffed at (even if it was against the Dogs).

Tino really improving on his missed tackles yesterday and showing what he is capable of. He and Fifita were just running everywhere... Watching the game if he had held onto those few loose carries his score would've been well into the 50's. He has lost 40 odd K but I am happy to keep him up until Origin at least when he can be a sideways trade for a fall gun/rising mid

Think Lam to Walker is one trade for me this week.

Annoyed I didn't get Schuster last week, but happy with SOS too. Think I still need to get Schuster in though, looks like good money to be made there..maybe Milf to him and get the bank up to $350k for use on a gun soon (Haas probably)

SOS 344K. Hmmm...I think I'll pass. Don't want to make a similar mistake like Alvaro. I think I'd even punt on Walker for 228K right away instead.

It's lifted mate. Log out and log back in maybe.

I've been playing him at WFB all season. It's weird to me that people have him in the same conversation as true EMGs like Gos, Croker, Simo. I'd rather start him over most of the bench mid coin goats we've been arguing about for weeks. Lower floor than say an Alvaro but he's going to hit 30/40s more often and could get a 60/70 on the right day.
