Got a tough captaincy decision this week, got it wrong last week with a 44 from smith.
These are my options:
Smith
Pros:
Decent average of 58.9
He's the fantasy king, and has been doing since Fantasy was created (Hasn't averaged below 59 at all in his career)
He's a fairly safe option
Cons:
Coming off an underwhelming 44
Lowish floor with 2 scores in the 40's this year
Averaging 54.4 base points a week
Haas
Pros:
Outstanding average of 64
Averaging 60.67 base points a week
Hasn't scored below 50 in his career
Is looking to force his way into origin so will have even more motivation
Hasn't got many attacking stats so far, so when they do arrive he will go bezerk (like last game against . the chooks)
Cons:
He has played 6 games so it's a very small sample size
He may be due for a bad game
Taumalalo
Pros:
He's a beast and can run through an entire opposition at any given point
Take out his injury game, he is averaging 64.25
Average of 57.5 base points per game.
He has a high floor, hasn't scored below 50 apart from the injury game
He's a proven gun
Cons:
He played 80 minutes last game, which he isn't going to do every week especially with McGuire returning
Say he got his usual 60 minutes last week against parramtta, his score would've been 57 - dropping his average down to 59.5 (which is still good)
His average base points per game also would've dropped to 52.75 (pretty poor compared Haas)
Ponga
Pros:
In his 7 games at fullback this year he is averaging 63 points
In his time at fullback, he hasn't scored below 50
He also has a very high floor, shown by last weeks 87
He's a superstar of the game and is bloody hard to contain as a defender
Cons:
He plays fullback which is one of the most inconsistent positions in Fantasy
He relies on attacking stats rather than base stats like the previous 3 players, especially Haas.
He is due for a bad game soon
In all his games at fullback last year, he only averaged around 53 (which isn't captaincy worthy)
Who would be the best option out of these 4??
