Captains 2023 Round 5 VC / Captain

[Makeshift Park]

I'll probably go Clarry into English, but its basically a coin-toss for the C with Daicos.

Diacos on Sunday won't be a good option, ground will be a muddy wet dump after 5 games on it in four days and about 20-30mm of rain.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

Only non rain impacted game is Thursday, I'll take laird vc, have to given the perfect conditions.

Then Oliver as C

As long as it's not too hot tonight... We all know what happens to poor Rory in the heat after that Rd-1 disaster! That's ok Rory, I can assure you that everyone that had the C on you that week all melted with you!

Its a fair point, but English will be playing there on the 4th game at AO, and as a big man playing at the peak of the forecast storm, he's not without warning signs too.

Of course, shit weather equals more stoppages, with lycett as his opponent I think he can easily have 35-40 HO. Lycett had only 17 HO against Ladhams who had 25, he isnt a good ruck. Timmy will be impacted around the ground with his spreading and marking, but I feel like he is a great VC option this week.

The rain didn't worry English last week.

This makes me more likely to want to VC/C English, not less.

 

[Suma Magic]

Laird into Oliver

Or Oliver into English

English into Oliver would have been perfect.

No Witts

Means it is VC Hodor time

What is your minimum to take VC?

In any case, it’s doesn’t really matter as the Shrek will bring in 150

Time for the lil man to deliver

130 minimum otherwise roll the dice on the Pig

 

[Mofra]

Dawson into English

 

[kenneyswarriors]

VC Cripps

C Witts

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

I'm thinking VC laird - I'm just not convinced that Dawson will go monster again so soon
C Naicos - i think if the ground is a bit spongy it might actually work in his favour, as players may be a bit more flat footed giving him a chance to run behind and get the handball

 

[blackshadow]

New recruits new captains

VC Piggy
C English

 

[King Max]

Rolling with Laird into Hodor! You owe me boys, minimum 180+ to fix my sh*t ranking…. I know you read this fine site! Giddy up Boys!

I thank you good sir, your feedback prompted me to change the VC to Dawson.

First captain score about 125, and after Laird's 50 in round 1, this one feels good.

160+ please!

Is 160 really enough for you to take the C off Nicky?

 

[Mr Meow]

I forgot to put the VC on Dawson. In fact I forgot to loop at all and hence Cripps was my vice captain.

Guess I'm going all in on Naicos, Bont or Grundy now.

I'd avoid Grundy imo as his big scores against us Draper wasn't playing and our tandem ruck with Phillips seems to work at negating other ruckmen (Witts + Marshall for example)

I almost want to throw it on him just to see if he breaks the Draper curse.

Yes I have masochistic tendencies.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Oliver VC, English C.

Should have stuck the VC on new recruit Dawson.

 

[Mofra]

I'm keeping Dawson's 152 as VC thank you very much
