Taumalolo but considering Crichton/Taupau.

Captain Tolo for me.

It is interesting that there is no offical news of Smith. Surely someone would know if he trained today or not.

On sc addicts it's good news. He's expected to take part in the captain's run & is available to play.

As a non Smith owner I decided to have a look at several players previous scores verse their round 17 opponents.

Player = 3 rd avg vs opponent = 3 rd avg @ venue

Crichton = 78 = 83
Surgess = 70 = 54
Mannering = 61 = 66
Gallen = 57 = NA
Taumalolo = 54 = 36
Fifita = 53 = NA
Merrin = 49 = 54
Tedesco = 46 = 55
JDB = 46 = 41
Johnson = 44 = 43
Pearce = 44 = 24
Taupau = 41 = 30

VS broncos at Suncorp, I doubt he has a rest.

Should I just do Suli>Tom Turbo as CTR keeper and play against Warriors? He won't play Origin will he?

I wouldn't be so sure. No neck could get injured tonight against the Eels in turn opening up a wing spot for game 3. Maybe wait till after tonights game then make the trade.

You can feel better and give me a pep talk.

That's ridiculous data picking. Crichton 78 is 1 game. Lolo has come on from last season

Its not beyond the realms of possibility, but unlikely.

Agree on Crichton, but Lolo is what it is, a 3 round average.

is csmitty playing? missed all the latest news and cant see anything last few pages.

I think it's still unconfirmed but sounding very promising for owners.

Obviously I can reverse. Haven't done it yet. Just an idea

Thanks, you've put me off captaining Tolo and trading in Kapow.

Captain Crichtonne has a nice ring to it.

Would anyone consider playing either Semi or Mitch Moses ahead of Fui? Partly just because I don't currently have any scoring players playing tonight.
