That means the team never picked a captain for the first round they joined. Dead teams are much higher than that.

Grant could be a good call, Broncos weak defensively and in attack the Broncos love to run straight up the middle. Should get 70+

All you Eels fans any inside word on how Paulo's back is & if he's over it. Cheers.

Captain Crangus again for me this week.

Whilst he keeps defending in the middle and attacking out wide, his floor and ceiling are too high for me to ignore. Can lock in 60+ but has to be the odds on favourite for most likely to score a try and put on a banner captaincy score.

Cheers, I'll take that.

Yeah i remember cook carving up the Broncos late last year. It was about the time when captain cook vs captain haas was a big thing

He had his 3rd lowest tackle count of the season last week and played similar to the way he has his whole career. If he makes a tackle, or his half/centre makes a tackle he floats into A or B so he can make the next one. Still a really high base but expecting him to replicate 54 tackles every week is fools gold

If you want to know how many dead teams there are only 36% own Grant. Given his relevance came about after COVID break, I’d say non Grant owners is a rough estimate of percentage of dead teams

Crichton was on 28 tackles at half time, on track for his highest tackle count ever. 2nd half was one way traffic, Roosters scoring try after try, no tackles required, but they all went down the right side.... where he will be back to for the rest of the season.

In real life a hooker falling off a tackle while two props have the attacker wrapped up doesn't matter in the slightest. Neither does Jimmy Maloney rushing out of the line and changing a runner's direction into an easy tackle, or JWH hitting an opponent backwards before Jake Friend falls on him on the floor. But in fantasy...

Yeah exactly, Hodgson would be dropping off a lot of completed tackles early, plus some of his attempted strips (which is definitely a +EV play for the Raiders) might count as misses.

I just looked up ineffective tackles #1. Flanagan, #2. Friend. Roosters must be shit.

Yeah last year I used Haas as a similar way and I think he was low 40s ownership. When a sure fire cow-gun emerges in the early rounds, their ownership is a good way to gauge active teams.

Who have you got mate?

Obviously number of dead teams is more than 16%

But 16% of users never even completed a team to let die. Probably just logged on once, chucked a few players in and then never came back.

No one secret just Carrigan mate. Played 80 with 3 forwards on the bench last week. Not expecting 80 again but with Teo and Oates as the second rowers surely Carrigan gets around 65

Away from cap[taincy and onto cashout

Community team likes Sironen, but they can't afford Fermor

Who do we think has better cash generation, and who will provide better emergency scores in case they can't be traded out.

I think Sironen has better job security. Fermor might hang around, but don't want to bet a trade in him retaining his spot when Proctor returns

They made it hard at the start of the year with the price inflations. How do you expect a casual to come play then they could barely field a team with people they know

More people captaining David Fifita (0.85%) than Carrigan (0.78)

Is Tolman on 0% cause I might put it on him if it is
