Based on form you can't go past Vaughn, but Fifita is capable of superhuman things. I think Vaughn at this current price is a steal though.

Last night I did a live video on Supercoach vs Fantasy :O

Let's just all captain Crichton and we can all cry together later

Team for this week

McInnes, Smith
Fifita, Taupau
Crichton, Taumalolo, Gallen, JDB, JTurbo, Surgess
Croker, DCE
TTurbo, Croker, Hayne
Teddy, Edwards, Mansour

Hayne can replace Smith if he is a late omission
The only trade ive made is SMat > JTurbo

Sound like a solid trade for the week?

Done.

No love for Tolo as captain?

Dr Moose says Smith will play*. Trust Dr Moose.




*I came to this decision by flipping a coin. Tails never fails.

Smith trained today with lots of upper body movements. Good signs.

God damnit you fast bastard.

He is a machine after all.......

I might captain him

Gut feel is that the bloke is a massive trap who cashed in against a very poor Manly team and who will subsequently start rolling out sub-20 scores.

Having said that, the bloke could easily play another game or two and drift off into oblivion (given other appear to be favoured for the utility spot), so may not be a big risk anyway.

Nope. watched him play, he will be a keeper at WFB when hes in the team. Speed to burn and can break a tackle.

Same feeling when I saw slater play his first game this year, bought him the following week and never regretted it.

If Smith and Surgess plays I have a dilemma.

I've traded in Dufty and Vaughn at the moment. My 5 reserves I'm looking to play between is Smith, Taupau, Surgess, Brown and Dufty. As I said if both play I can't leave the Duff man on the pine and my other backs are Edwards, Walker and Semi. I could leave Edwards on the pine as other backups are Croker and Lolohea, but seems risky if both don't Smith and Surgess don't play for some reason.

Am I crazy out of that 5 to be leaning towards leaving Taupau out? Surgess probably is the no brainer though even if he does play to leave out. That probably doesn't make sense.

Captain Cleary it is for me...

got to take a risk... if it backfires...I might earn a nomination for the Tim Simona award

So like I actually went through and counted through the trades my number one threat to the top spot I currently hold in my overall league has. 36 points ahead of them only.  

Turns out they only have one trade left while I have 2. However they have Teddy and have no King Guth to worry about replacing. Also they don't have Smith so they don't need to cop an AE in his absence should he not play.  

So if I put myself on even ground with this guy by trading Teddy in, does that essentially mean it just comes down to which of our POD's score better since we'll both have the same amount of trades???  
Oh and also he trimmed the deficit to just 36 points by captaining Crichton last week. Does that just mean I should follow suit to avoid falling behind or stick with the old faithful in Mannering???  

Help me Fantasy fanatics you're my only hope. I must win this league because the crown simply must be mine.

I think leaving Taupau out makes sense based on his recent form but just brace yourself if he does get a decent score.
