    Thoughts on these options. Trading JFH to either TPJ or Marsters.

    A.
    Play TPJ in FRF
    Cotric/Aitken as CTR

    Play one of Surgess/Martin/Arrow (can loop)

    B.
    Play Surgess/Arrow as FRF
    Play 1 of Martin and Arrow/Surgess on bench (whoever doesn't start) - can loop
    Play 2 of Marsters/Cotric/Aitken as CTR (can set up a loop)  Can pick any CTR under $622k instead of Marsters


    Guess it really depends on how much value I think I can get by looping.
    Also keen to not have to rely on Arrow - his post origin scores have not been that good so if I can keep him out of my team that is bette (so I can get all pissed off when he scores 82)


    I think I like A. I'm in the same boat in that I don't want to have to rely on Arrow either.

    Nah, that idiot's lead is precarious at best. Very unlikely to be first after this week and has almost zero chance of holding on for 2 more weeks.

    That would be excellent. At least I will have a pretty good idea by tomorrow about how I stand for the rest of the week. Farah vs Turbo and DCE. Yikes. Go Tigers!

    Is the forecast of heavy rain this weekend still a thing? Could lean me towards going Turbo in the early game opposed to WFBs who feature in soppy conditions

    Tolo verse Brownless eels at home for JT’s last home game and Scott’s 250th. NRL will do everything possible for Cows not to lose and get wooden spoon. Warm night on a fast track Tolo due for big minutes according to some reports. Tolo in for a monster game.... I hope

    Can’t remember where but saw something on Facebook I think where Flanno said he will have to pay for what he’s done or something. Pretty sure it’s just a bunch of wank though

    In a similar predicament a couple of weeks ago and went RTS which I'm happy with even though I missed Turbos big score. He's got two big games coming up, at home, and he's clearly trying to put this team on his back.

    Turbo is fantastic but there's nothing to play for and they're on the road twice.

    Turbo has had tries galore the past few weeks, RTS's points seem more dependable he's racking up giant run metres and tackle busts as standard even when he doesn't look like he'll get a try.

    @ doggiez - I would play both RTS & T-Trbo. If you're choosing between those 2 then I assume you also have Tedesco & Ponga. If true I would not play Ponga. His move to the halves is not good for fantasy & also he's carrying injuries. Ponga atm is the poorest scorer of the 4 & Tedesco, T-Trbo & RTS are in better form.

    Who is everyone captaining this week? I liked it much better when there was an obvious choice and I could just pick who I thought everyone else would choose.

    In your case I'd probably still go Cook.... That's who'll I'll be going too.

    If I were in second place or chasing you I think I would wait till the last round before trying to go POD captain chasing points. Cook seems safe this round and up against the Raiders you'd think he has a decent chance of a bounce back game.

    In summary, it would still seem risky not to go Cook despite his last couple scores. He's the only guy who has consistently pumped out 70 and above this season (8 out of 20 games). If he does that and you dont have him, a number of other guys will.

    Thats how I'd play it this week anyway.
