Ranked 149, terrible captain choices plagued me early in the season. Gone are the days where you can set and forget on CS9

Well done, you'll go high with that. Yeah captain's are annoying. As well as Fifita's and James' injury scores I've only got it right twice this year. One was Tolo's big round 12 where he was autoselect anyway and last week with Smith.

Edit: I think I'll start with Cook next year.

Probably because they wont need goal kicking this week

Moga to centre, Mann to hooker to relieve Levi I reckon.

Maybe Mann to FB and Watson to HOK?

Like the sounds of that. Get some attacking stats first half and flop tackle the second. Easy 70 points

Bellamy said Bromwich had been a notable absentee from the club during the week and that the big forward will need to get through training on Friday and get the all clear from the medical staff if he is to take on the Sharks.

That scrubs Surgess from the potential trade in list

That's more like it.

I little advice would be very welcome - my teams a bit crap and I'm wavering more than I thought I would on the news that Cook will back up and Brittan won't play.

Options:
1) Watson / Xerri -> Cook / Burns
                                                         Gives me a couple of guns (I like Burns), at the cost of two useful cows
2) Xerri / Brittan -> Fainu / Burns
                                                         Gives me a gun and a cashie-gun at the cost of two cows
3) Nuffin. Just wait for Cook / Burns.

Team for reference, before trades (6 remaining, $210 itb):

CS9
Haas Fifita
Tevaga Crichton Tolo
SJ Moses
Nikora Bateman
RTS CNK Watson

Taupau CM9 Mahoney Xerri
Ponga Stagges Brittan Carrigan

I would get Burns in this week for Xerri 
Get Cook next week for Watson

So many duos this year! Will be a very competitive year.

I am just dreading any more outs!!! I have 17 fielded this week just, (18 if Brittain plays). I think some are struggling for 15-16 players so hopefully me having 17 will help me gain some ranks.

Anyone have any different captain options other than CS9, Cook, Tolo

My planned trades are

Xerri > Munster
Watson > jurbo

I’ll be fielding 17 regardless.

With only 5 trades left. Do you think it’s worth holding? Not trading and seeing what unfolds? I really need values to remain about the same as those trades leave me 2k left over.

Tevaga saying he is pushing through the pain from his ankle to keep his starting spot. He has re-aggravated over the last couple weeks and thinks he needs 2-4 weeks off to recover but he is pushing through the pain.


"I'm managing it well and hopefully I can pump out some big minutes this week," Tevaga told NRL.com.

"I should be alright this weekend, hopefully it doesn't get twisted awkwardly again.

"It just needs time and that's the tough thing, if I want it to heal I probably shouldn't be playing for a couple of weeks, maybe even four weeks.

"These past two weeks I have re-aggravated it a bit… but that's footy, it's one of those things where I have to get through it and tough it out."
