Bit of a concern for Alvaro and Fui if that happens, Kerr back to middle you would think.

Kerr is a low minute MID even when starting.

The article says he will spend some time at 2RF during games to give Williame some game time to get him up to speed

Sounds like he gets the remainder of Kerr's minutes on the edge then

I can't go past Brailey either.  I think the app is stuffed on my phone. Screen freezes and can't scroll down to see anything beyond my starting hooker

I think his tackle count may be lower this week which means he won’t score quite as well.

I'm going Angus. Brailey, Teddy legit options in my team too. Outside my team - would consider captain DCE, Cook, Fifita if I had them. Brett Morris, Schuster...

Even though my score will miss Cleary, it's definitely more interesting having numerous legitimate captain choices again and a split field.

Kerr plays big minutes on an edge ?

I did mention this earlier, and although true this may be made up in attacking stats (Run Metres, TB's, etc.) but I feel this is the type of game DFifi goes for a tonne.

I reckon we make a nrl fantasy fanatics discord server and get some real discussions going

'
looks that way, 69 and 70 minutes so far.
Averaged 36 minutes as starting prop last season, never more than 41 minutes and was usually done in 3 stints to get him to 40 minutes.

Very slow news day today

Good idea

Anyone have captain %

Cleary still number 1

I’ll be bringing in Fifita and he might get thrown the armband too. Brailey the only other I feel comfortable giving it too.

Here's top captains

Nathan Cleary 18.38
Jayden Brailey 10.92
James Tedesco 10.2
Damien Cook 4.89
Reed Mahoney 4.04
Angus Crichton 3.89
David Fifita 3.17
Cameron Munster 2.15
Ryan Papenhuyzen 1.88


Honest question - what do people use this information for?
Its clear that there are enough dead teams to make most of the data not that useful

I guess it will confirm that most people are picking Brailey over Crichton/Fifita. But does this mean you are more or less likely to change your decision on who to captain?

Here's captaincy data from just after lockout.

Nathan Cleary 33.17
James Tedesco 8.62
Ryan Papenhuyzen 4.02
Damien Cook 3.54
Latrell Mitchell 2.87
Cameron Munster 2.43
David Fifita 2.36
Jason Taumalolo 1.71
Daly Cherry-Evans 1.66
Reed Mahoney 1.52
Jayden Brailey 1.49


So Munster, despite being 8th most popular captain, is actually less popular than he was last week.
Relatively few people jumping onto Fifita too

I’ve landed on (C)richton over Tedes(C)o. Teddy’s had a couple of big ones in a row due to some strong attacking stats. Not sure Souths will give up so many points so easily. I’ve gone with Angus because I’m betting on him doing a lot of work and getting some strong base stats.

I can see what you mean re Brailey but he isn’t really a running hooker yet.

D. Fifita could go large but Angus coming off the week off against his former side I think I’ll stick with that!

Teddy has scored well with tryscoring stats, but hasn't needed to do much else. Also you can't score "in play" points when you're waiting for your opposition to kick off 10 times a game.
