Unless playing in a serious H2H competiton or private overall league, most people arne't playing for anything other than a bit of pride this week. So take a punt on captaincy and go for someone with a big upside.

Personally I'm going Munster.

I'm in a H2H grand final this week and my opponent doesn't have Smith though,hence why I was asking

Wacko saying Brown likely to miss FOR FUCK SAKE.

These bloody injuries to keepers have hurt me so much recently. Now I have to play that spud Elliot.

Correction: He said Brown failed to train but should be right to play. Who knows...

Bah! Get out there with your man flu mate!!! We need you!!!!!

My opponent has Brown and I don't so if he's out, all my Christmases have come at once.

so i have one trade to turn either Edwards or Surgess into some-one in the 420k or under range, i'm thinking Edwards to Semi is the play here?

yeah i would be looking at either semi or gordon in the backs. would both be high scoring games going by form and the worst titans line up of the year.

pulu in the centres....

Has JWH scored a try this year? He may be a special to avoid the Nudie Run against
a depleted Titans team that looks for next season. Latrell Mitchell will score at least
one meat pie against this mob.

Fifita due a meaty as well, only one this year.  I might throw the VC on him and C Manners.  I can loophole if Lane doesn't play.

What's the story with Sione? Still out with concussion?

I had a crap round last week scoring 812. My rank slipped from 68 or so to 128. With Dedwards and Sione out I can only field 16 for the final week.

Apparently able to play but the club is looking after his welfare with nothing to gain except the slight chance of avoiding the spoon.

Thanks. That's fair enough and makes sense. Sucks though! Not really looking after my welfare though, desperate for a 17th player!

No try for JWH this year.

If I had a trade left I'd probably punt and bring in Mitchell, could have a big one, as most of the Roosters should.

If Siro is fit, I very much doubt Lane would get a bench spot. I think LBrown will keep that bench space to give Siro a breather, like he was doing with Lane for some odd reason.

I captained Fifi last week and am putting it on Vaughn this week, so no doubt Vaughn won't score a try and Fifi will get a double.

I've been hovering around rank 1800 the last few weeks. Hopefully I can stay sub 2000 to finish the season.
I will get an AE from Dedwards, but should be able to maintain my rank.
I'm in the GF of my workplace H2H... with a bit of luck I'll be able to take out the trophy. Last season's winner lost in the semis and my workplace nemesis got eliminated in the quarterfinals. Fingers crossed for this roind....May the Force be with me

Anyone captaining CS9 this week? Tossing up between him and Pearce

Not fussed if Brown plays as I have back-up... unfortunately that back-up is Fuimaono. :-/
