All week had Cotric (82) pencilled in then switched to Stafford To'a (7) and he goes down with a HIA ; oh the irony.

To each their own, but I'm not even contemplating trading him out. If he gives me a reason to reconsider in the next few rounds, I'll bench him for Staggs or some such thing, but no way I'm going to dump him because some dudes reckon he's going to score less because of an alleged hard draw. Scoring based on match-ups seems to have about a 20% strike rate but they never seem to acknowledge when they get it wrong (which is often). Instead they keep harping on about match ups every single week. Not into it, personally.![]()

Haha kicking myself for not backing Teddy straight up![]()
Klemmer, Cleary, Yeo, Mann or Mansour my potential candidates. Narrowed down to Mann or Mansour.
Hate wingers, but tough on Mansour after being my highest scorer last weekMann might have Randall on the bench, but maybe he comes on for Lino.
Any word on which Tigers show up? The defensive unit or the sack of potatoes?Would make both our decisions easier perhaps.

Thought I left the post lol. Leaving Tevaga out. Didn't pay attention before making my last trade. Would've left Doueihi out otherwise.
Probably go with Mann in your case.. though, it's a coin flip with which tigers defence shows up.
@Teeth Eater wrote:So what's the go with this thing? I had the VC on Teddy too - not intentionally to use this loophole... but just so I understand; I now need to get the C on a player that will not play this week?
Looks like Averillo is my only option. So I put him in for Mann and I get Teddy's Captain score... but for my last reserve I get my lowest player's score included? At this point it's going to be McIntyre or Talakai? That's how this thing works?
Otherwise, I just leave the C on Cleary, hope he scores just as big against the Tigers and I don't have to worry about copping McIntyre or Talakai's score?
If I have it right, I think I'm leaning towards Cleary against the Tigers... I think?

Yep, sounds like you've got it right. Switching to C to Averillo though obviously, which I'm sure you understood anyway.
I have Davey with 21, could get lower from Asi or Starford, but I figure I lose 50 points from the emergency, so Cleary would need to score 130+ at this stage.
Teddy has 183, but +32 in blue stats, so could go over 200 when updates hit on Sunday.. too late to know whether he ends up like 170 or 220![]()
Yeah, me too.@Clack Bocks wrote:I’m glad I captained him straight, I dare say a lot of teams would be better off looping but means I don’t have the stress thinking about doing it or not
