Yes it is very  very veerrrry likely Haas and clearly go large.
But if you are ranked 1000, you still will be ranked 1000 after the weekend....

With only 4 weeks left, its impossible to claw back an inch at a time.

Unless you care about personal best ranks,... then I guess, go for it. But after playing this for many years now, from my experience, I dgaf about my rank in any year, unless I am getting a prize, or at leat a chance to win.

With 4 rounds left, rank 500plus, you are not going to gain many ranks (if any) by picking the same cappy as all the others in front of you

I look at it as, I would rather have captain Cleary or Haas and hope my supporting cast can beat the supporting cast of those in front of me… hence why I have changed to captain Cleary.

I would rather myself and those in front all have a failed captain choice (cleary/Haas) rather than they captain Cleary/Haas who score 80 and then my gamble captain scores 53… except last week when I captained Teddy.

I was thinking of captaining Matterson but then I looked at it as say Cleary scores 65 points… then myself and probably 50-60% of the guys in front me also get that 65x2 from Cleary; however, my other picks like Matterson/Bateman/Fifita/Api/Smith could then outscore their opposite counterparts like Tevaga/Murray/Brown/Cook/McInnis which will be scattered throughout those teams in front of me.. and this is how you gain ranks…. Not by getting lucky and captaining someone who scores 112 points.

I’ll be your case study mate. I’m sitting at 1000 and will have the C on Haas the rest of the year.

Let’s see where I end up

I like it

That league was always chock full of talent

Pretty sure you won it the first year I ran it and thus our forum rivalry was born <3

Will have to bring it back next year.

Eh not really. They're popular C choices for a reason, they have the highest averages. You won't gain ranks from C'ing them but you sure can lose ranks by not.

The way to get ahead is C the popular players and let your POD's make up the difference e.g John Bateman or David Fifita.

You may have missed my point (maybe not), but this is all based on being 4 weeks left. and ranked 500+

But if you disagree, thats obviously ok, but its just my thoughts. And I tend to agree with myself.

I'd be more likely to take the risk if I was actually in contention. Top 20 with 4 weeks to go, I'll take a shot at different captains. 500+ with 4 weeks to go it doesn't really matter to me if I finish 200th or 300th and you are unlikely to make up 500 points in 4 weeks unless you get lucky with a bunch of players scoring tries

I like that the captaincy choice hasn't been set and forget this season. CS9, Cook, McInnes, Hunt, Grant, Koro, Cleary, Haas, Teddy, Harris and Starling... are all likely candidates

Might be time to make this call on your own bud. Numbers dwindling.

I’ve created 50 alt accounts so I can make sure his TUs and TDs are always equal.

Annoyingly the three times I didnt captain haas this year (when he was available), i have been worse off. Going with Moses over Cleary last week another C blunder.

Ok confession time. A few rounds back I did visit the TU/TD thread and brought some balance to the options presented at the time.

How on earth do you stay in the top 20 if you make blunders like this?

I’ll be shocked if Cleary scores less than 80 today

Probably silly question but if you top 4 in H2H this week and you win do you get next week off?

Yes

Well, i start the year with Levi and Jack Williams and hold them both for 4 weeks too long.

Morris or Hopoate?

Haas or Cleary. Haas might make 50 tackles tonight, Cleary could get that in conversions alone. Tough one

Ha, good to see that you still made it to the top, that takes skill
