Fuck you love yourself   Do you ever stop talking yourself up?  Mate, I’ll give you another three weeks and you’ll be gone again. Just like last year. Katoa and Xerri in your starting 17 tells me all I need to know.

Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

Stuck on Arrow vs Cook for the captaincy, what are you guys doing for C/VC?

On a brighter note I made up my mind for trades:

Definitely doing Host -> Flegler, while the second trade will be Capewell -> Lawrie. I did the maths and I would profit just as much with Lawrie as I would with Bird if they both average 40-45, plus it means I can choose which FRF to play each week.

That second trade, however, is contingent on Lawrie keeping the starting spot this week. Thank god the Dragons and Broncos play the first game so I can wait till final teams. If Lawrie is back on the bench, I'll likely keep Capewell. I normally wouldn't be selling Capewell but I have enough centres as it is with Nikora, Bateman and also Burns.

I’m doing Cook for Captain, as the whole reason I got him was to stop me making Verbal decisions after a few drinks. Yeah, Arrow is A shout, but Cook is safe.

And Capewell to Lawrie feels sideways af

I agree that Capewell to Lawrie is somewhat sideways but he'll profit about 100k more and means I don't have to play Flegler every week at FRF. Capewell isn't a season-long keeper anyway and likely won't make enough cash to upgrade straight to a gun anyway, while Lawrie will make way more cash while giving me much-needed FRF cover.

I am planning on a similar outcome

In planning on going from 3000 to no.1. But you know what they say about best laid plans.

Heres where Rev gets rash, deciding to flog Cappy and haul in Flegler. Bateman sit in the centres, Tevaga from the bench promoted to starter and thus $266 itb.

With Tapine out, Bateman will likely occupy the edge and score as a centre. So it’s very fitting.

Best laid plans and all

I'm running Fifita as Captain, Arrow as Vice
Fwiw I'm running Lawrie in the 2nd FRF spot, he should score ok wether he starts or comes of the bench. He's a better option than Host.
Ideally you would want to keep Capewell, but i know you were just short on a straight forward trade

I’ll have the big c on fat boi fafita. Even though arrow scored well against a dominant broncos, the rabbits looks like they will run a muck.

Only obvious hole in my starting team is Kahu at WFB - With him going to centre his price will likely drop (looking at past seasons). Can afford to jump on CNK this week, which gives me a very common Burns, Edwards CNK back 3.

Only other trade option is Capewell, who could turn into Bird. But he's hardly a sell, it's just Bird will make cash faster. A bit hesitant to waste a trade for the sake of an extra say $50-$100k (they'll be 17th/18th man with Bateman and Nikora in there).

Thoughts?

Are we getting silly if we contemplate Radley to Keary? Ride the rise to a set forget Hookie ?

Cappy Taupau this week, after two weeks of Faffy

Bird better pull his finger out tonight now that he's in my squad.

High ownership shouldn't matter when you're after the best scorers you can get. Kahu is a liability, CNK has posted good scores without any assists or tries yet.

Crappy choice but if you had to play Kahu or Rava this week (Will be Teddy next week) who would you play?

Keary is not a good option IMO. He started last season well too but then went back to shit scores. Cronk is the more dominant half so you may as well be playing Keighran/Brown than someone like Keary.

I have the same choice and I chose Rava. Well, the coin chose Rava.
