my tv broke wrote:Most popular captain choices in the top 1500 for round 14 (based on rank at end of round 13)

CS9: 471
Gal: 357
Fifita: 187
Lolo: 174
Surgess: 49
Taupau: 36

Captains within top 50:
GAL: 18
Lolo: 9
Smith: 9
Fifita: 6
Surgess: 2

Must admit, would have expected a much higher number Fifita on recent form and origin

The fact more people captained Gal than Smith in the top 50 probably explains why I moved up to Top 10 instead of taking a plummet down the rankings. Well I wonder how many of those people have Fifi instead of Lolo like me who are #idiots  
I'm still feeling bitter about that one.

Who should I move on first? Cotric/RTS?

I need to pick 2 R's from this motley crew. Help would be appreciated!!

Gurgess, Yates, Elliott, Frawley, Fuimaono, Cotric & Radradra

Currently I've given responsibility to Gurgess and Cotric.....

BTW I've done these potentially dumb sort of moves before in the past and they've backfired on me massively. In fact just picking and sticking seems to have enabled to me to do better than ever this year.

However that being said is it weird I'm considering benching Sione and playing Joey Manu? In the past like 5 years the Roosters have not scored less than 30 points in a game against the Tigers. The Tigers edge defence can be notoriously shaky and I just think he could go big.

These risky moves I make when I'm already in a good position have cost me in the past but can't deny I'm pretty sure he'll score more than Sione this week.

Hard to say, flip of a coin. While both are smiling in their NRL Fantasy photo Joey Manu's smile looks more genuine. Sione smile looks like that smile you make when you get into the elevator with a co-worker you don't really get along with.

Sione will go gangbusters because he's in my NPRs

I'm going cold on Gurgess. I thought he and JBrom both offered the best value this week. Glad I missed locked out and JBrom last night. maybe its a sign?

I only trade out players who are under performing and look grumpy in their photo. Looking at you Lloyd Perrett.

Haha, I judge my players more harshly if they don't look happy, too. Tedesco needs to cheer up a bit! Him and Suli are my only backs not smiling. Most of my forwards must think they are too tough to smile.

I think I'd play Elliott over Gurgess. Elliott's base stats were still over 40 last week as per his previous 3 games, it was just an unlucky Fantasy score. He tried hard all game.

Kelly or Abbey to Edwards? Vote!!

Why no love for Semi? I'm bringing him in this week- is this a mistake?

Not at all mate. Personally got Semi and Cotric on a par at the moment.

The Raiders have signed Erin Clark effective immediately.

Sione and Cotric in a face off this week to determine who makes way for Tommy Turbo

Tom Turbo is playing.......................

Lamb or Gutherson?

I'm benching Sione and playing Cotric and Suli fwiw. Already decided yesterday but having a look most of Sione good scores been at Hunter
