I'd rather plummet from making stoopid attacking decisions though.

Edit, I don't mind if my captaincy pick is the reason I fall behind. That's 100% on me.

Stimson or Lolo replacement if trades left

I think you might need something a little more risky than Cleary. Kapow or Hess if it was me.

I like that you are taking a risk... you can't expect your POD Fitzy to score 90+ every week to make up the difference. 98 points on Zora with 3 rounds to go

I think the missing piece of functionality from last year I miss the most is the banner at the top that tells you the order of the games on the weekend.

Everytime I want to order my subs around when their game is I have to go to another site to work out who is playing first. Annoys me on a weekly basis

I agree with this so much. I usually keep VSDT open on a separate page for this specific reason

I think this function is on the App.

One of my biggest regrets this year was selling DCE for SJ,that backfired big time

Last trade
Option A: Fainu to Turbo
Option B: Taumalolo to Taupau but Isaako stays in my 17

No brainer right?

Interesting and depressing fact, if I'd stuck with captain Cook from round 18 and didn't piss around with Tolo, Farah, Smith and Mitchell then I'd be top by 48 points....

I'd do option A. Hows your cover looking? Could be some carnage in the final rounds.

I thought playing Luai for 3 instead of Fitz for 81 would've been the most depressing.. I was hurting for you that week as one of the 10 people with Fitz.

As for (C)ook, we can't control much in this game, but captaining the guy with by far the best average is a no-brainer if you want to consistently score as high as possible.

Ponga has pulled up better than expected and is a certain starter either at 5/8 or fullback

What would zoras's score be if he could also retrospectively change his captain?

No change I think. He had Cook throughout (from memory)

Obviously plenty of other variables and other bits of luck involved etc.

I guess to summarise - my PODs have done well. My captain choices not so much

Yeah, that stung a bit but I think I made the right call at the time (excluding using a loop to have a look!). Fitz had been named on the bench and I thought Luai would outscore him. C'est la vie

Don't do this to yourself mate

I have Ponga 1st in an Aekins loop because why not if I can

Whats everyones thoughts on tonights game? Are the Rabbits a shoe in with Broncos lacklustre performances, or is it time for the Broncos to bounce back and grab a win at home to all but cement their top 8 chances?

its all good!

I'm sure Zora would make some different decisions in hindsight and be 500 points in front.
