I'm 2131 with 16 players for round 13. Might go harder then planned if I'm a genuine shot at monthly

Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing.
It does make me second guess bringing in Starling this week though (as that would pretty much end any chance I play 17 in R13).

Nice to know I'm not out of it - May the best man/woman/Wookie win!

Back off lads, I was going for the Monthly! 

But seriously...I think it's worth the push

Shady2K wrote:Man Burton is definitely looking enticing as a buy.

Huge points in R13 when he plays at half, and assuming he's centre every other round. If Momo gets back in though that would piss me off to no end because I'd be trading Momo > Burton lol

I think I'm still leaning towards Manu though.

But it is very tempting

EDIT: Burton has a 59 BE so could wait a week - but most of us need a CTR this week which is why we're all looking at him this week I guess... hmm

Yeah I'm picking up Burton and Hynes for the rd13 push. Both capable of big scores

Will depend on how the next 2 weeks shake out. Few low scoring rounds and 13 will be even more important

You had a great score last round, that sets you up well!

So there's certainly ground to be made up.

How did you work this out?

Nevermind... found it

Thought you weren't trading mate? Must be getting low?

aggregate is 2025, expected number for rd13 hopefully is 17.

This is my planned team:
JBrailey (c)
Ipap, Watson, Lodge
Barnett, Lucy
Fogarty, Moses
Bird, Burton
Hynes, To'o, Laurie

Mahoney, Brooks, SCrichton, Roberts

I've got Mahoney, To'o, Roberts who may or may not play.

hmm.. nice.

I'm on 2022

After trades, currently have 11 for round 13, plus Papy (probs origin), and Roberts (probs just not playing).

Team for this week will be
Brailey
Haas Crichton Watson
Pangai Schuster
Cleary Fogarty
Crichton Averillo
Tedesco Laurie Hynes
R: BS9 Matterson Walker Koro
E: Flegler Simonsson Roberts Papy

19 trades left.

If no injuries/suspensions next week then I'll probably hold fire on trades and then use 4 (or maybe just 3) in round 13 (crichton, 2/3 of schuster/walker/simonsson/roberts) to put 15 on the park. (or more if Roberts/Papy were to play.. assuming no)

Shady2K wrote:Burton's scores without tries are very concerning though (at CTR)

He doesn't do the hard yards or make a lot of tackles. He's only there to finish plays

Yeah, I outlined that yesterday, and that put me off.

17 trades left... 
I'll have 15 trades left come round 13.
spent 6 between 13 and 14 to get Tohu, Taumalolo, Starling, Walsh, Verrills, and AFB.
Leaves me with 9 after round 17 to get Haas, Dfifita and Papy/Ponga

I think it's worth having a shot at the May Monthly in my position.

Not bad. I didn't even know there was a monthly prize. What does that get you? Sorry if I missed it.
