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?

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.

For me he will be a season keeper. He should have a solid score next round. And when Cleary gets rested at some stage this season. But 5 centres is a bit much

I'm interested in what the few To'o owners around here are doing with him. He's a keeper in the WFB position but also a chance he doesn't need to back up after Origin. I'm not expecting him to being on debut in the origin arena. Tough one, I want to keep all year but might be too hard.

I bought Burton in this week for two reasons - short term) I needed centre cover (or I thought I did but ended up that Suaalii played anyway) and long term) he's DPP and I am hoping he'll be an expensive 18th man although the way this season is going I'm expecting him to feature in my 17 more often than not whether he's covering centres or halves.

For the record my current squad make up is:

HK: Brailey, McCullough, Watson, Simpkin
MID: Haas, Watson, Papali'i, TPJ, Leniu, Peachey
EDG: Matterson, Schuster, Papali'i, TPJ
HLF: Cleary, Hynes, Burton, Schuster, Gamble
CTR: Bird, Peachey, Burton, Suaalii
WFB: Turbo, Tedesco, Walsh, Laurie, Hynes, Suaalii

Nothing major where I am in Christchurch yet but it seems like people on the east side of town and in the surrounding towns next to the big rivers are having a tough time of it. Bit of a worry that it is supposed to continue raining through the night.

I work in insurance so I am expecting a tough week.

998.

“Bye planning” again proves to be a waste of time

Great score this week @my tv broke.
The Bludgers dragged themselves to 1006, which looks like a solid score this week.
I don't have enough trades to muck around with bye planning, so the crash is on.

920 . On the plus side have 13 playing R13 before trades. Hope a basey pops up for Simpkin this week somehow but might just pre-emptively trade him for Verills so I can get Harris in R14.

How many did you lose out of your rd13 team?

I lost Lucy & To'o so far. I think Mahoney may miss out on rd13 as well.
On a positive note, Bird will be available

Haha yeah with how many CTRs I have and low amount of trades idk if I'll get him. By the time the second bye comes around ideally my CTRs will be two of Manu/Peachey/Averillo. Can't really plan these things though. Momo stuck around for a lot longer than I thought too. Has the same handcuff as Burton - if Cleary is out then Momo will play CTR.

If no base pops up in R13 teams then might just use Suaalii as the cash out. Will still be under 300k, has DPP and should play in R17 with Teddy in Origin

So, round over, got 12 for next week + papy (extremely unlikely, and leilua (afaik he is suspended?).

18 trades, but not sure what ill do. May only use one or two.

20 man squad. Hess and feldt there (between coates and feldt for a wing spot). Sua as well. Mahoney will debut and Munster + Grant are good to go.

What happened to Lucy?? Missed that

We haven't entered a plea yet for Luciano. Have until 12pm tomorrow.

Ofa in surely a good thing for a Stefano recall
