Does Averillo become a cash out Ctr now he’s fullback?

Coach wil have to stick with him there for a few weeks atleast and he was decent last year

Any cheap guy worth a punt?

Yeah, I'm pretty tempted to take a punt on him.

if SJ plays and KNik miraculously gets WFB DPP added before lockout I could play with 13 this week.

But should be able to use 12 scorers this week without trading. Which is not a bad position.

If you're going to take the red dot, at least get a score out of them this week.

Lovett might be a good one week shout, but depends what position you need.
Or Munro from the bunnies might be the most useful for this week position wise, with a chance of scoring in other weeks too

H2H player so not playing this week.

So looking for a guy who could be usefull later on or a red dot.

Bula to X
Sandon Smith - (will upgrade when he goes out)
Kris - (my good WFB/C cover)
Fainu - dud (red dot)

Are we meant to be getting DPPs this week?

DPP update post R20. I was just 'what-if'ing my way to a full team this week.

Nofoaluma dropped, but Kepaoa could end up EDG and be great, or bench and be bad

Munro (complete cash out for maximum cash for future rounds) 240k

Montoya (dial, g good job security, can score well, like nz fixtures) 380k

Sione katoa (sharks winger, capable of big scores and bad scores) 381k

I see advantages in Montoya and he would be useful further down track if needed

Munro allows best use of money to upgrade in rd 20

I’m leaning Montoya as I won’t have enough trades later if have injury catastrophe in centre and wfb

Anyone feel strongly one way or the other

Sharks tend to hit Nikora or Kennedy before the ball gets to Katoa at the moment.

Montoya also seems to have a better base.
He's looked a bit off the past couple of weeks and would've scored pretty poorly if he didn't jag those tries though.
Seemed to be shying away from kick returns and often getting crunched/pushed back when taking a hit up.

EDIT:

Wow kick returns really dropped off more than I thought:

Averaging 39m kick returns this season.

round: kick return ms:

10: 70m
11: 77m
13: 28m
14: 51m
15: 52m
17: 6m
18: 11m

Posted this yesterday about a decision between Katoa and Montoya




So long story short I don't see Katoa going as well as Montoya unless their gameplan changes a bit or Hynes/Kennedy/Nikora's form drop off but Montoya has not been going as well the past couple of weeks.
