2 shit captain choices in a row.

I'm with you mate. Trade him in and captain him last week, 75. Surely you'd think Warriors have found their groove, captain him again, season low, by lots.

Bodene can just fuck off, worst trade in ever. I can't believe he got over 30 points.

This, should work, but the Hooker scenario with only 2 possies does make me nervous. I think with 17 you lose a score if moving hookers, but not 100% on that.

hes a litte bastard for sure. it was between him and whitehead and we chose wrong... dunno why but he has started missing a lot of tackles

jbrom looked a bit better/harris a bit worse... not sure if they are worth a punt with gurgess showing more value as far as byes/points are concerned

was trying to work out who went to 7 once coops went off as they will need to reshuffle for the two byes + if slater gets picked it gets even worse

So can some-one identify the u-10's coach that taught (ie. didn't fucking bother to teach) Kaysa how to tackle properly? I wanna pay him a visit....Shocking technique, gets his head in the way constantly and he's not a big unit with a tree trunk neck to be able to cop those knocks...

was thinking Kaysa -> McInnes instead of Niko -> Munster with Niko ruled out but decided to stick solid, not the worst trade-off in the world, but now i'm gunna have to shell out another 50-odd k to make it happen next week.

Edit: on a side (and definately unpopular) note, I've been thinking lately about the regularity of HIA's this year and i reckon there'll be a rule change in the not to far away future to make headgear mandatory.

I only have 16 players this week. I have Milford as my 17th as my 4th reserve. My Captain is Friend and my Vice Captain is Mannering  (who I am looking to loophole).

So if I take the (r) off McInnes and put it onto Surgess then swap Mcinnes in for Captain Friend the loophole will still work?

Sounds good to me

Fuck, looking at my team without Smith just looks so wrong. What have I done?

I'd say that's roughly a 10000% chance of not happening, give or take a few %. You only need to look at the Helmet debate in the NFL to see where that would wind up.

Fuck, if anything Lamb is consistent, I'll give him that. Scores 30 in teh first half then 5-7 in the second!

haha any temptation i had to go back on my self-'no loophole' rule after my vice-keptin's score has vanished thanks to realizing i have Tualau hanging around in my NPR's.

Slater, JBrom, Semi, Brown and RTS going well, slightly eases the KPritch + Smat worries

Kinda keen for Whitehead to Jbrom but I think we can wait another week to see how he goes

It's round 12 all over again for me. My captain gets a score of 70+ but a Warriors player comes in and scores 4 more points than them anyway.

Oh well it was fun to have an outside back with a legitimate captain's score once again.

He looked back to me should of had 2 TBs which would of made his score look better, but in a game where they spend A LOT of time waiting for restarts he did a load of work

Hmm very tempted. I'm running low on trades so everyone is important from now on

Yates > JBrom next week for me and probably Cotric > Nofo

Hurts seeing that guth score.

Should have just set and forget him for byes and not looked at his BEs (or scores at fullback)

Just think how much fun you're gonna have picking a captain each week!
