I've still got Hutchison as my 2nd halfback and have the money to get Cleary...but of course he's not named and who knows when he's back. I may just spend that money on a SJ or just spend it elsewhere. I'm losing patience waiting on Cleary. Anyone else in same boat?

Crichton at his price, how he's looking, 80 minute role, looks a must.

Manu back-to-back tons at fullback. Back to centre now. Very tempted to boost to get him in. But that means a 4th boost. I may hold off.

would want Holmes if I didn't already have him. He's just a Gun. Lomax and Ronaldo are both going really well too. People are put off by Ronaldo and his ability to post low scores, but he's continuing to score well. Lomax at centre concerns many. Still, he's looking like a keeper.

Twice now I've looped and it's gotten me over the line in two H2H matches. Rising up the rankings but bench is starting to worry me with injuries, suspensions and non selections. I think bringing in Schiller for Young is a no brainer, to give me the funds to get Cleary next week for Hutchison. I'd like to bring in Katoa this week too, but may save the trade. I'll have a deeper think about in throughout the day tomorrow and decide.

After a long day of thinking...I have decided to sell Cleary and continue my early attack on trading hard. I could well be using my 3rd boost in the first three weeks! Very risky, I know, but you have to risk it for the biscuit.

Injuries really are causing carnage to teams. This week I'm holding Cleary. Piakura is out so I'm selling. Tuapiki is out. But I can't afford any top CTW so I'll likely hold this week. Not sure how long he's out for actually. Will need to check. Burbo and Smithies are causes for concern tbh but may have to play both this week.

Cleary and Moses have picked up injuries. Cleary could be 2 weeks. Maybe 4. Moses up to 8 weeks. Nightmare for owners. Hynes may be a hold after all. Cleary a sell now?

Is Hynes a sell?

Anyone looping Cleary?

That Walsh head clash was nasty.

Cleary just glides across the park and opens up space with ease and delivers perfectly timed passes. Beautiful to watch.

I've already sold one Gun in Grant, but I'm not trading any others. Ponga, Cleary, Hynes, Turbo, all holds for me.

I regret trading RTS out after one game. He looked terrific in Round 2. But I did get Lomax in and will stick with him. 44 points with no attacking stats is a positive. I'm very tempted to get RTS back in ASAP and then saving trades as I'm pretty happy with my team overall. Luki's injury is frustrating so I may boost and get Curran in. Lussick looks the goods at Hooker so I think he's close to a must have to get in. Two games in and two poor captain picks, but many others are in same boat. May have a benching headache this week too.

I think he's a sell in all honesty. No point holding him on the bench. I may bring in Flegler.
