    I am picking up Lussick this weak as a PoD over Blore, simply because why would they change their rotation. They have used Lussick twice this season as an 80 minute player. I think they just keep the rotation with Smith getting minutes elsewhere during the game and injury coverage.

    He has done well too, gets involved

    Ipap could be a really good captaincy option this week... bench includes a utility, backrower, 2 props in which one is making his debut. He should get high minutes and at prop he should eat up the base stats.

    I'm very tempted

    Cleary 15.62%
    Tedsco 4.67%
    Fifita 4.48%
    DCE 4.18%
    Haas 3.37%
    Hughes 2.58%

    I also rarely captain a WFB, but it’s probably a smart choice to go with Turbo, unless you really need to take a big risk to jump up in the rankings. Even if he flops, he flops with 1/5th of players in the game but if he goes big, you’ll cry all weekend, like what happened when he scored 130 odd a couple of weeks back and I didn’t captain him…

    This I think people focus on captain being a PoD to make massive gains, when realistically your captain should be the most stable scorer and nullify other captain choices.

    Your gains should be made with other differences like having someone like AFB over Watson.

    The drums are beating loudly that Nathan Cleary will make a return from his shoulder injury on Friday night to take on the Dragons. My sources tell me all he is to do is get through the Captain’s run and he’s in. #PantherPride

    Yep, knew it as soon as I saw that thing he put up on Instagram last night. No coincidence he puts up a photo of a panther out of no where, signalled he was ready to go!

    I can get cleary this week, but if I did, would I want to C him?

    Does he play 80? Or just get a run until they have a safe lead.

    Would I get him next week if he gets a rest this week?

    Feels like more risk in getting him and using two trades and having him disappoint then just letting him go all together. It's only another 4 weeks of missing what I assume won't be a run of 100's

    The prudent thing to do re Cleary if he plays is just watch how he gets on being the 1st game back from injury as there is the potential for re-injury & he'll probably get taken off for an early shower as the Panthers should comfortably win. His huge b/e will probably see him under score his b/e so he'll be cheaper next week.

    Looks like I have to go Cleary for cappo once again.

    Don't mind the IPap shout though.

    I’m thinking Turbo mate. I know it’s a risk captaining a WFB but surely at worst he scores 55-60.

    Do you reckon Ipap will move to edge or just solely play middle. If he plays middle maybe he plays 65mins?

    I'd still back Cleary to at least match most other captaincy options even with an early shower.

    Cleary has a 5 game average of over 100 

    I think he’s a good option for captain if he’s playing

    For most people Cleary will be their last trade, if they can afford him this week, BE doesn't really matter.

    If he plays this week you may as well trade him in if you can. Whether or not you captain him is another matter. Worst case he gets some game time off the bench to ease him back in (that's probably unlikely, I suspect he'll either start or miss out altogether, but wouldn't rule it out completely)

    Why don’t you trade him out for someone with a similar or higher average?

    Oh haha. Plenty of options.

    Munster, Cook, Matterson, Douehi, Jackson, Barnett, ARey, Leilua, Grant are all cheaper than Crichton
