Its seeing the full circle, come right around, simple stuff but hilarious.

my tv broke wrote:Thursday afternoon, must be captaincy chat time, in no order.

Haas - ever reliable, the common option. He played 80 mins last week for the first time since round 5, will he do it again? Against the Storm in what looks like wet weather conditions, a reasonable option as always unless the Broncos, as expected, spend about 20 mins under their goalposts. Rating - 8 broken tvs out of 10.

Tedesco - salty non owner here, but he looks like a bit of a no brainer. No explanations needed, he's a genius, collects tackle breaks out of thin air, best player in the game. Captainers may be slightly wary of predicted rain in Gosford for Saturday afternoon. Rating - 7.5 broken tvs

Matterson - the big sook himself up against his old club, he will almost certainly go big tonight, if someone from the Tigers doesn't knock him out first. Great option. Rating - 8.5 broken tvs.

Cleary - The best halfback in the game right now, in top form, and the match up is juicy. If you throw the C on him though it does feel like chasing last weeks points, but right now he looks like he could go back to back tonnes. Unless he gets rested for this game, which, I dunno, I've got a weird gut feel that the Panthers might give Burton a run this weekend. Rating - 7 broken tvs. *choose your VC wisely*

McInnes/Hunt - I'm putting these two together because, well why not, two peas in a pod in the middle of the dragons pack. Up against the Sharks who like to rush up early and drop off tackles around the middle, both are a great option to rack up 50 tackles and some TB's each. Rating - 8.5 cracked tvs.

Harry Grant - salty captainer that got burnt last week by Maguire giving him an early shower. Potentially less risky this week as its a big game tonight for the "forever 9ths". Rating 7 broken tvs.

Taumalolo - he just hasn't looked himself in the last few weeks, despite still putting up reasonable numbers, such is the expectation of the 10 million dollar man. With the coach off to GREENer pastures, may we see a change in attitude? Will the coach push him out for more minutes? Probably not. Rating - 5 broken tvs.

Other options-
Cook - Good for 60+.
JTrbo - If you want to lock in 2x 54-56, he's your man.
Carrigan - sneaky POD C option, maybe he'll play the 80 tomorrow night.

Go against the grain - Nofo for captain!

I'm going Teddy again this week, live and die by the sword (for the record I was doing it last week as well before it was cool)

I'm not concerned about safety, I have 6* players that no one else in top 10 has, so anything could happen any week
(*7 if I  including Tevaga which is likely going to change)

I feel sorry for you guys :p

No way.  But I'd take an 80 and happy to be proved wrong.

Checked the draw and next week vs Warriors would be interesting, if Teddy wasn't up against the Titans.

If I get a bit further back might punt on him for lols, not quite yet

my tv broke wrote:Roosters have free'd up a roster spot for SBW - sauce DT

"The path to securing Sonny Bill Williams for the Roosters has been made a little easier with the Tigers snapping up young outside back Asu Kepaoa immediately."

"Kepaoa told his Roosters teammates of the move on Thursday. His departure now frees up a roster spot at the Roosters to add Williams to their side for the back end of the season. The Roosters had the NRL’s maximum of 30 players in their ranks before Kepaoa’s mid-season switch."

I even recall a couple of times id make a small comment, joke on a couple of ur posts and you'd come back all angry at me and all !

I swear there was a point in time back then where your personality seemed to completely flip here, and became much more relaxed and open to banter. As much as u can see on a forum anyway.

If I ditch Haas as captain it's for Cook, Teddy or Cleary in that order of current preference
