I saw the first 5 minutes of NuBrown's stint and he was horrid.  I ducked out for 5 minutes to do some work and when I came back Lichaa was back at dummy half and NuBrown off.  Looking at the minutes Lichaa played 80 so I'm assuming he went to Lock.

More than likely did mate. Tolman sounds like he might be out for a while. I have Fualalo who has been playing quite well (despite being put in the centres today)

Might see more of 80min Lichaa which i'll be happy with as I kept him.

Standard who would you go for as a replacement for Smith. SJ, DCE or Matterson?

Have Cook, Lichaa and Griffin for Hookers and only Townsend and Doughie for halves.

I'm 424/10 with Captain Cam. Also running Kennar with no centre back up

Bummer MF, hopefully your last 7 do well for you .
The majority of people would have had cam as captain tho hey?

Australian sports fans tonight: ahh let em cheat occasionally, I'm sick of them being penalised for it.

I guarantee we're not going to see Cam Smith crying at a press conference.

Yeah, that's it, they don't look pressured, they are just calling it how it's meant to be called.  And for Bellamy to apparently acknowledge it was him and his team's fault with what I've heard (I haven't watched the Presser) is a massive win in my eyes for the NRL.

I watched it. He didnt say anything about the refs and focussed on the fact that the storm were terrible. Hes a smart man. He knows what theyve gotten away with for a long time.

275/5 Captain Cook, so avoided worst of carnage so far. Cody Walker is a worry though, needs tries to score well. Tempting to flip to RTS or Edwards despite Rnd 13.

media trying their very best to goad it of of them too, don't think there was a question asked of Bellamy or Smith that didn't include the word 'ref' in it.

I'm 332/6 including Captain Cook.

I have missed most of the carnage, just got some general below par scoring. Though I'm sure there will be more tomorrow.

That's the one advantage of captaining Smith is that a lot of other people do too!

I'm hoping they go alright I'm currently in the top 200 which is odd as I haven't been higher than 3500 all throughout

Actually, cancel that. Fifita seems to have lost 6 points in updates so I'm down to 326. Boo!

I've brought in DCE this week so if I was to jump ship on Smith as well who should I bring in? Would have roughly 840k to play,any ideas guys?

I’m 257/6, I have had RFM, cook, Smith, Kikau, murray and doui. Got the cherry on top for Captain! Feel like smith is on his way out. But I will need to trade for another hooker as I only have cook and havili so I am thinking Friend because of RD13? Or should cook and havili suffice to beef up my back line  or FRF??

Good luck mate, sounds like you have had a lot play so far tho. I’ve only had 5 players play in my team so far.

If it was for a replacement Captain I'd go DCE personally mate.

As a storm supporter I think this is the last year we hold onto smith and slater. Time to bleed the young ones of (Brandon smith, Jahrome Hughes, billy Walters, tui kamikamika) I think 2 Years time we will be a strong force. But I think we have 2 years of poor form to come

Fifita, 38! Ffs... where did that drop come from.. far out.

would be interesting to know the last time Captain Cam scored worse than that, but i suppose most of the searchable history has been lost to a combination of time and FailHub
