Good: Starling, Mr Controversial TBs
Bad: Flanagan and his fucking offsides
Ugly: Captain Crichton

He keeps flooding my PM's with lines and lines of code, I'm talking hundreds of thousands of functions here. I think he wants to get his fridge to display fantasy scores or something. I'm sure its all beautiful mind stuff, but its way over my head.

What, no dick pics?
That’s outrageous.

Glad I set up Starling as a possible loop in case Averillo is out. Will probably take his score over the Fog if that is the case

Feel like it's unlikely he drops out of 19 man squad though, so will likely have to stick with Fog

I can't believe my whole day is going to be consumed with the decision on playing Talau over Young.  No one better need me to do any work today.

$137K, mate. Dumping Latrell for Siro this week gives me $371K to work with next week.

These are the captain numbers for the top 1000 as it stands right now - which means there would be plenty of people who captained Tedesco that are inside the top 1000 on live rank, but will drop back out once Haas and others play..

Regardless, bit of variety to come

Payne Haas 411
James Tedesco 304
Nathan Cleary 79
Cameron McInnes 51
Patrick Carrigan 32
Harry Grant 29
Damien Cook 23
Angus Crichton 20
Ryan Matterson 12
Ben Hunt 10
Jason Taumalolo 9
Cameron Smith 6
Apisai Koroisau 3
Tohu Harris 3
Ryan Papenhuyzen 3
Jarome Luai 2 wowee
Shaun Johnson 2
Cameron Munster 1

Crichton MCL - Robbo says out for at least a week.

Captaining Luai is a bold move cotton, let's see if it pays off.

Haha, not the worst, though. Teddy only got 12 more and he was probably a popular captain option. 50's definitely not what you'd have wanted, but could have been a lot worse with an injury involved. I'd call it Unlucky more than Ugly.

Yup take Luai

Appreciate the feedback. Luai for 60!

That can't be serious, can it?

Is this just because they traded Luai to someone who they've chucked the armband on, and the live display won't show it until the new player plays?

Otherwise, how did they make it to the top 1000 with decisions like that

Yeah, this would be it for sure.

Jeez how we've changed.  A few years ago, you'd be sweating for your captain to get 50.  60+ would be god tier.

ahhhh yeah, true. So even the data is not correct until the respective teams have played. Probably a fairly small percentage of people who've traded someone in and made htem captain straight up I suppose.

Angus was disappointing with his injury & I might trade him to Twal, Matterson or Jurbo if it's serious. The Tigers have a tough draw coming up so it would be ideal for tacklebot Twal. If Angus is only out 1 week I might keep & buy both Starling & Havili to bolster my viable playing numbers.

It's more the injury and trade situation that is ugly for me

Probably wrong way to type on my part

.........

I may be one of these crazy people

Except my captain would show as Crichton because already played

Just on Luai & this is sc but the guy coming 6th has started Luai in his 17 every week (he's a poster on nrlsctalk). It just goes to show always go with your gut because he would of got plenty of advice re not playing Luai & going with various other players who were perceived as better choices.

If he is out for a while, crossing over to Twal would be a great option.
