    definitely not insane, i think he will run riot too, not sure i'm courageous enough to do it though,

    latrell is such a combustible player to do something like get sin binned/sent that makes him even higher risk

    that said if i was 3.8k rank theres not much to lose, (not meant as a slight)

    only 6 weeks left and could work out extremely well. bunnies been playing great and with cook and murray back i reckon they do put melbourne to the sword

    Yeah I think I'm doing it, and if anything, worst case it's a nice little hedge because if he self-destructs, odds are the Storm win and I can take comfort in that, while if he goes ballistic against us, then at least I captained him in fantasy Very Happy

    Seriously considering playing captain Roulette between Cleary and Hynes after this round.
    match ups aren't everything rah rah rah but can't see Hynes outscoring Cleary this week.

    Latrell as good as a captain option as you'll get outside of those two.

    Think since I went on about how I was gonna do this I’ve got it wrong every week,

    That said I still think it’s a solid strategy overall and will continue to do so

    Bethany got me in the mood to put the (c) on latrell this week too

    Was looking at Mbye as a potential centre cover cash out but don’t want to burn my last trade on him this week.

    Basically base price and he’s had a banner in the past (long in the past)

    Probably as good a CTR cashout as there will be if he can hold the spot (potentially big if). Will personally be mighty tempted to cash Koula down to him for some late season upgrades.

    Captaining Latrell seems mental to me! asking for a 40

    Regardless of rank, you have 2 mega guns in Cleary and Hynes, going captain roulette just asking to set you further back behind the pack.

    Have you not seen how bad the storm's defence is now? Latrell and AJ are going to feast on it

    Just seems like you are trying to hedge. Just pick one of the 2 highest scoring players in the game

    Torn between DCE and cook. DCE with goal kicking looks about the same but cheaper.

    TU: Cook
    TD: DCE

    Kiraz missing out is a bit silly. Wouldn't be surprised if they get a bit of social media backlash to add CTR for him.

    You think that’s dumb

    Starford T’oa has been named and played CTR six weeks in a row and a couple of other times before then. Still no DPP.

    I know these arent super relevant players to overall but people play draft and also, I dunno, game integrity.

    I think you could eyeball the full list of players in the system and do it comprehensively in about 30 mins.

    I feel dirty for saying it, but I agree with Welshy.

    Play with fire…..

    DCE if I had the choice now. DCE with GK hopefully staying slightly more upside.

    Cook scored a load of tries already this season, can he keep up that rate to maintain the huge average

    If the worst comes to the worst I’ve always got the option of getting a Ponga or Leilua (if he keeps starting) in and then use Rushton to loop them with RFM for 17th position.

    Cook for me too mate.

    Latrell as cappo is a big and kamikaze like play when you have Hynes, Cook, Cleary and DCE. I'm trading Latrell in but no way I'd put the armband on him also. Welshy is right, you're looking for a 40.

    15 mins work

    Kiraz, Toa, Casey should all get CTR added. Anderson WFB

    Hastings looks like he’s having a run at MID

    Havili is like a wish version of Cheese (bench MID and emergency HOK) but doesn’t have MID. Clark maybe too soon but wouldn’t argue against DPP on same grounds. Salmon fantasy irrelevant but pretty sure he hasn’t been playing as a bench HLF all year

    Nikorima and Wishart WFB maybe

    Some of us aren't particularly high up in the rankings and have to take some risks.
    Good point though that it does require both Cleary and Hynes to bomb or Latrell to banner.

    Big risk.

    IMO DCE is the best captain alternative to Cleary/Hynes

    3 round average of 78 with no tries. Manly hitting form. Dragons not the best defensive outfit so points on offer this week.

    Who's more likely to get an 80+? Cleary or Latrell? I think we all know the answer to that one.

    Who's more likely to get an 80+ between Cleary, Hynes and DCE is a more difficult question.

    Big risk.

    Reckon that is a big misconception about chasing when further back.

    People are trying to talk you out of this but I completely respect it. I think Latrell might go on a run the rest of this season. I think he is going to rack up some big scores.

    Don't let peoples hatred of Latrell sway you.
