Rd1, Sam Williams - 48 in a losing effort
Rd2, Sean Johnson - 78 in a winning effort
Rd3, Ben Hunt - 65 in a winning effort
Rd4, Kodi Nikorima - 52 in a losing effort

Stats say I should be captaining DCE this week, so I shall.

Just a feeling Griffin is nearing his peak, only been playing 80 mins due to injuries.
If he goes back to an intended 60 mins and 30 points he is dried up as a cow, and Arrow looks a certain keeper. Levi's inclusion also make me worried.

Only other way I can get Arrow in is to sell Smith, which I am hesitant to do.

Captain Kikau anyone?

Haha. Aside from my own dealings with Vegans, I have a friend who runs a property in Queensland and she had Vegans follow her home and take photos of her children and posted them on FB to get her to stop doing what she was doing to earn a living.

DCE is 3rd in line behind Cleary and Johnson as my ideal HLF keepers. Are you happy to trade him again or be content with not having the best halves by end of season. Might play Origin or be available for rd 13. On form he's playing Origin. QLD selection policies probably don't have him though. Likely as expensive as he will be all season but should be more consistent esp. picking up goal kicking. Dont see him losing a heap of cash. Can he play/score well with defences more focused on him with the loss of Tommy Turbo?

SJ is injured. When he plays injured he doesn't goal kick or seem to have the attacking flair that helps him rack up big scores. Last game was a score of 30. Current BE is 67 so with a quiet game or two could be a much more appealing price to snap up. Doesn't play rd 13.

The tier beneath them isn't too consistent or exciting but includes bye friendly C. Walker, A or J Reynolds, Townsend, Norman or K Nik, Mbye, Milf if byes aren't a worry. For a cheap cash making interim trade may I tempt you with Maloney?

But honestly, those are the two best halves available for the next 6-10 weeks. If that's worth spending an extra $150k for now (i.e. not optimally timing your trade ins) go nuts. The above is just trying to show you if you have the cash I'd do that straight away.

That's not how statistics work. Short time-series with no controls are just noise.

R1, hooker vs Bulldogs (CS9) scored 62, winning
R2, hooker vs Bulldogs (Friend) scored 57, winning
R3, hooker vs Bulldogs (Wallace) scored 42, losing
R4, hooker vs Bulldogs (Cook) scored 49, winning

So would you captain Havili this week? And if he does go huge, would you captain Jakey G next week?

It's fine to think DCE will score well and C him. Makes good sense. But basing this on Williams and Niko scores is noise, not stats.

And if so is it safer to have Havili in the 17 at the expense of Rochow?

If all fully fit then I'd say Rochow (due to playing the Storm and how he went against them last time). But question marks over Lodge and NAS at the moment from what I can see. I might be leaning to NAS...

I currently have Lodge our at the moment. But was thinking NAS but I’m worried about his explosiveness can bust out a 30 point play.

Thank you mate you’ve given me something to consider with Rochow too!
