Do it

The other problem you have is watching Fifita against the Warriors, Raiders and Tigers over the next 3 weeks.

True. Haas is a pretty good replacement though, Mid is the tougher position with value at edge, and Cook over Clark seals the deal I think.

I am coming around to the idea of Brandon Smith Captain.

I think if you have him, he is a very viable captain choice this week.

I just don't plan on owning him

Leaning towards Crichton over both of them and captaining him against the shitty Knights.

yep

I think I am going to ditch Hynes for Latrell. I am a little concerned about his capacity to score much above an average of 50, especially with the potential for Trindall to be listed as a utility (or even in the starting side) when coming back from suspension. The Sharks are not the Storm and I feel he does not represent that much value in the long run.

Feel the same way. Garner has been MIA, i tried to find details but can't, many suggested injury, but someone on WT forum said he had some family issues, i have no idea if that is true.

Garner is straight onto the bench for round 1, which suggest to me he isn't out of favour..

Tualagi is currently in my team.

Ankle injury is all I could find about Garner. I'm kinda lukewarm on Tuilagi as a pick.

Good write up @Mattnz

One player I'd like in my team but I don't trust Ricky Stuart is whitehead

From recent seasons, based on ownership of certain players late in the piece it seems about 30-40% are dead teams.

The % Clearly captainers at lockout is going to be a very accurate measure of how many teams were never even live.

Still only about 75% of teams even have a captain at all

Also the fact the Cleary was out for over a month last year before he was overtaken as most popular captain suggests there are a lot of teams out there that won't be looked at all season.

Randall
Mann lolo haas
Fifita katoa
Sexton Schneider
Penisini aitken
Crichton papi hynes

Fermor tuilagi nanai bullemor

Ilias Mking vialea ???

Got 410k left so 2k off Clark for hok cover tempted to go Billy smith instead of penisini and get Clark otherwise Coates or paulo there atm

Any suggestions?

Definitely concerned about what his minutes will look like moving forward, but with his ownership % and lack of genuine other options in that price bracket he's worth the risk.
A bunch of those 300-350k options will stink it up, just got to get lucky and if he does fail hope an option around his price appears to pivot to.
Why I am keen to have some money ITB to start off for this reason.

Taking Fifita out for Mahoney makes my team much more balanced........

I think I might have to watch from behind the couch

I have made a team and have 193K left over. Having that bank will be useful in Round 2 but man I am looking for any excuse to spend it.

I'm with ya mate!

Those with both Ilias + Shneider but only needing to start one, who are you going with?

Who is likely to kick more?

TU: Carrigan and Tuilagi
TD: Ipap and Walters

Need a gun at MID I think

If Liddle was fit and Simpkin on the bench does Gardner make the 17?

SoylentGreen wrote:I'm having trouble picking my 15,16,17.

Currently my INT/EMG is:

Randall, JKing, Ilias, Schneider
Tuilagi, Paulo, MKing, Walters

I think that order is about right. I've got Tuilagi out of the 17 as well.

I'd be interested in who you're starting CTRs and WFBs are though, as I'd probably start Paulo over some other popular cheap options e.g. Crichton, Tago, Coates, maybe the Penis.

Would Simpkin be on the bench if Liddle is fit? Peach could cover hooker instead??
