If not him, I'm looking at CS9 and Bateman for safety, as well as Munster, Tedesco or SJ for a riskier captain play.

Thoughts? I'm ranked 227 and chasing the pack, also trying to hold my lead in L51 (Chewie is dead even with me and I'm only ahead on PD)

Far too risky mate with how he goes down sometimes especially of late in games and it seems he’s carrying a few niggles.

Someone like a DCE or someone else who is gonna play 80mins could be a better POD.

If the Warriors are deflated after last week Bateman could go well for sure.

I’m probs not the best guy for advice ahahahahaha with my 617 rank.

I reckon in the end just go with your gut, it would seem to me that’s what has worked for you so far.......

Double Jinx

SJ for banner

Which side is he on? Will Surgess bully him?

Ahhh mother f*****

8k short of Robbie for CNK

I want CNK to have his Swansong for me against his old club, but it is intended to be that... a final appearance. Raiders run home other than Warriors twice is pretty brutal

Nah Surgess will be too busy fighting with Fifita, the 130kg handbraking cat that he is

Bring in Cook and have no cover? (will have 3 trades run home)
I mean 0 cover. 4 red dots.

Ive gone Pearce and Garrick (18th man) to Cook and Sailor.

Cs9
Tapau
Haas
Tolo
Jurbo
Murray
SJ
DCE
Batman
Nikora
Teddy
RTS
Ponga

Cm9
Fainu
Tevaga
Cook

Sailor (212)
Brittain
BBrailey
Coates (could still play)

Instead i could just go Pearce to Farrah/Peats. (will have 4 trades run home).

Ranked 642 after 2 big weeks finishing 115 171

So its really go Farrah keep a trade and an 18th man

or

Go Cook have 3 trades for emergencies and no cover

Did someone say gamble? 

Cook no cover for 1 week. Just get it done. 

Sort that shit out next week though. Fainu/Brailey to 2 playable players if Koro comes in maybe

That's a fair point, forgot that they like putting him at 9 for some stupid reason. I'm feeling brave and might captain SJ since he's been running the ball a lot recently and seems to not be reliant on one type of stat (e.g. this week his 76 had some TA/LBAs whereas his 70+ vs the dogs just had lots of TBs etc.)

If you're looking at SJ as POD captain, I'd be looking at Moses first

Getting 60 without trying recently and he basically has a floor of 40 with 550+ KM & 10 tackles and only needs a couple of attacking stats (goals, TBs, TAs) to boost it massively

Was a major consideration for me but after reading about aiming for points/week I'm going safe with CS9 who hopefully has some goalkicking to do

People looking at Farah? What happens when Liddle comes back into the team?

Re: Captaining backs/PODs, I think to minimise risk you should rely on the people ranked higher than you to do the dumb shit rather than to try to do the dumb shit yourself

Certainly a good point for me. I mean, i'm chasing the guy coming first in the cowboys league, but that guy's chasing first overall. He could potentially be trying some risky plays.

Anyone else think that the Cowboys win tonight? They just seemed to lack a little in attack last week and with Morgan named I think he brings that.

Nah
Tigers are too good

I'm thinking Tigers/Cowboys halftime/full time.

It bothers me that these totals are never anywhere near 100%. Like in this case about 1/4 people are on a player not listed, and those unlisted players are under 0.5% so there a minimum of 50 of them.

I've always assumed there are a bunch of half created teams from pre-season that never bothered to select a captain

I reckon he could either go into 9 with Lawton coming back from a shoulder injury... that could hinder his RM and TB.

Also, he is a little plastic recently so they might manage his mins.

Take care garnier

To throw a spanner in the works, Jazz won't go to 9 if Lawton is there. They've been runnning CHT off the bench as back up hooker the past few weeks (AK last week), and that looks to continue this week.

Absolute scenes

The overall captaincy percentages is fairly pointless. It doesn't mean much since a huge amount of teams have given up by now.

Burgess's 1.05 right now is actually slightly lower than it was last week, and the week previous to that.. ie games that he didn't even play (I don't know why it would go down, maybe people are creating teams still, to try and win a weekly prize? I'm not sure)..

Fifita at 3.85% is also lower than it was last week (another game he didnt play).

So essentially no one that has captained either of those players is still playing the game. (a few could be, but the number is so small its irrelevant)

You gotta back your instincts to do what ever you think will produce the most points per round. Looking At pods captain choices is as equally likely to get you closer to the bottom than the top.

Welshy wrote:Farah keeps calling out to me! I hope I hold strong and not take the plunge

I think I'm gonna do it. If it goes to shit there's always next year.

Since we're talking % and ownership. I've always wondered if teams in draft leagues are included in the stats and that inflates fringe players ownership stats or if it's purely just the H2H ownership ??
