Teddy is my captain, I'm swinging for the fences and banking on a big one from him. Not convinced that Cleary will go big vs the Eels, and other than those two, my only real options are Carrigan (safe but no upside), Munster (Can go massive but hasn't done much recently) and the super POD Wighton (Good matchup but not a high enough ceiling for the risk).

Also, can you get a player as an AE if their score is negative? In SC you can't, you would just get no AE, and I'm leaving Talau out of my 17 just in case.

If a negative gets added anyway, then I wouldn't have been able to dodge it anyway, but otherwise it's a hedge against him getting zero or less

Wighton looks bloody dangerous at the moment... I would chuck it on him... I wanted to bring him in for papy and didn't realise he had shot up to 738

Assuming you are playing Fantasy and not Supercoach/DreamTeam, negative scores will still count as AE

Surely you can loop Sironen and Clune?

Hmmm nope don’t think so. Team is set up like this

Cook
Carrigan Taupau
Yeo Bateman Matterson
Hunt Cleary
Averillo Lomax
HTF Teddy Talau

McInnes
CS9
Twal
Siro

Clune
Randall
Ponga
Niu

Still undecided between Edwards and Brimson, 20 minutes to decide because I'm trading B Siro.

Edwards has 3 scores over 60 in 9 games. He needed tries to go past 40 in 2 games. He's only made 1 line break all year but has a solid base running for 200+ metres in his last 4 games.

Brimson has 3 scores over 60 in 3 games. He is heavily reliant on attacking stats averaging 1.5 line breaks a game. However with his draw, who's to say he won't get them.

Hmmmm I've been on Edwards all week despite my dilemma and I'd hate to make a last minute decision that I end up kicking myself for. Damn I'll just pick and stick I guess, Brimson hat-trick coming up.

Ponga/Niu 17
Siro 18
Clune 19

Free look at Siro, pick Clune if disappointed

There is no way anyone has given him the Goss about Teddy being out round 20.

What if they still need to win to make top 4.

Kent

Fucking this.

Last minute panic

TU: lucy > Bateman
TD: lucy > Smith

Let's go Luciano and Murray. Possibly McIntyre too in the loop.

Best of luck my dude, I only have Talau tonight so just hoping he gets positive points

Top 20 captains
18 Haas 
1 Cleary & DCE

Wonder how many captained Haas last week 

I've got Siro/Bob Jane tonight. Traded out Latrell to Lomax for my last trade as cover for Papy. Good luck all - I think I'm leaning towards supporting the Rabbits tonight, would like to see them do well.

He got 38 in his one game at CTR this year, the increased tackle base should help

Yeah that gives me hope.

I wasn't expecting him to play so any points he does get are a bonus for me.

Touch footy try right there.

No idea why they put the 2 rookies next to each other when they could have put Talau on other side and had Lawrence next to Kepaoa

Both Tigers edges looking very vulnerable

Having had Lowe earlier this year and Sironen since, I've been watching the Rabbits' left edge attack all year and my God is it predictable. Lowe/Siro runs the decoy 95% of the time, and I'm not sure why a team would ever fall for it and be short of numbers out wide.
