Turbo downgraded and I lost my 5 points

The only upside for buying Fitzgibbon right now is that he out scored Turbo.
It's the little wins.

In other news I finally managed to halt Turbo's scoring by putting the C on him in the POD team and backing him as ATS. I may just do this every round he plays from now on

Panthers will have 7 players out (To’o, Luai, Cleary, Yeo, Martin, Koroisau, Capewell) + injuries with Edwards

and yet they can still name a pretty decent team, eg:

Kenny
JFH Leota
Kikau Sorensen
Eisenhuth
Burton May
Staines Momo Naden Jennings
Crichton

Leniu Hopgood Blacker Salmon

I’ve been holding Leniu for 13 rounds for this moment…

Yeah I'm 43. I think that 5 years or so makes a difference. I was good at school. Social studies in grade seven was still about the wheat crop pioneers and the flax plant and Caroline Chisholm and stuff. Important history to be sure, but I suspect and hope it's different now.

As I'm hitting the big 5-0 this year, my primary schooling was in the late 70s early 80s.
Not only was Aboriginal history / culture pretty much ignored in my schooling, we had a bunch of indigenous students (most of whom were mates with my brother and I, played league for the mighty Bowraville Tigers) but they had to put up with not even subtle racism from the teachers and generally the white people in the town.
Everything from there being a 'mission' outside town where houses were built for Aboriginal families to there being a "black bar" at the local pub.
It was almost apartheid in effect.
Absolutely disgusting.
As a high school teacher, one of my focusses is to make sure my students are taught the real history of Australia.
We have to acknowledge our past if we want any chance of making a better future.

Enough said. Rant over. Back to the footy talk.

Should be. Leota is suspended too I think

1012 for the week and another gradual move, up to 4096th overall. The slow charge is on!!

Re schooling, im 38, absolutely fuck all taught to us in school about the aboriginal culture. Was basically, they were here, then white people turned up and thats when Australia started. Sucks.

Team lists actually scare me this week. Can only hope for good things

Good to see you’ve reined it in mate. Good to know it’s possible.

Looks like Burton will be joining my team this week.

Wow, just shows how quick this game can change. We are now only 100 ranks within each other, doesn't take long to climb and quicker to fall.

Walker to Burton looks like my first trade.

Keep meaning to say - hope all our kiwi posters in the South island are OK.

Those getting Burton expect him to stick in their squads all year?

Be 500k ish next week. Score good at half then back to CTR. Has poor base but gets a lot of tries - wouldn't play him at starting CTR over other options like Peachey, Averillo, Bird? Think a gun CTR trade in around that price would rather be Averillo if you didn't hold on to him (like me)

Personally for me these are my CTRs in my squad at the moment: Peachey Bird Momo Manu

You think it's worth for me to get Burton in? Would have 5 CTRs.... though Momo would be a trade out eventually I think. Though Edwards seems to like an injury so Momo could stick around for a while. Gun when he's on the field too.

Tino, Brimson and Simpkin are my trade outs this week. Really need that base priced cow to show up to enable some moves

Clearly possibly gets an extra rest or two over the period. I haven't thought about long term, but if he stays, he stays.

Frizell out 3-6 weeks. 6-8 weeks if surgery required. Ankle injury
