Nick's Captains - Round 18

Well, let's just put last week behind us, and move on hey. It's fair to say that the success of Nick's Captains in its first week was limited, and that there were a number of massive scores from players who didn't feature in Nick's Captains. These included Soward (142), Laffranchi (132), Fitzgibbon (129), Price (115) and Jennings (105) just to name a few.

The Nick's Captains top 5 from last week scored as follows:
1 - Waterhouse (76)
2 - Hindmarsh (77)
3 - JT (62)
4 - Tupou (59)
5 - Farah (111)

There are a large number of players out this week, due to either Origin commitments or being on a bye weekend. This is also a week whereby none of the teams who are playing have played each other previously this season.
The analysis of the players this week is as follows:
Name(rank based on avg p/round) - (avg last 3)

Heeeeerrrrrreeeeeeeee we go:

Rabbitohs v Panthers
Nothing here - Waterhouse and Jennings are both out due to Origin commitments, and the Rabbitohs are just a joke at the moment. This game is a non-event for all DT'er's.

Knights v Raiders
Bronson(8) - (84) - The big man has been on fiiiiiaaarrrr (remember NBA Jam – he’s heating up!!!!) the last 2 weeks, racking up scores of 101 and 83. This could be another high scoring game, and with his penchant for a offload or 10, Bronson could go big again.
Campese(26) - (64) - When the Raiders score well, Terry scores well. So if you think they have what it takes to topple the Knights this week, then get on.
Taia (17) - (66) - Very consistent, with scores of 65, 66 and 66 the last 3 weeks. Doesn't go large enough to be considered captain material in my humble opinion.

Warriors v Dawgs
Stagg(4) - (77) - Stagg lives to tackle - there is nothing that he likes more. He defends in the middle though, and the Warriors do like to throw the ball around, so he might not make as many as normal - but in saying that, he might get into the spirit and start offloading. If you want a consistent captain, then he's your man.
Luck(20) - (63) – Luck is a DT slut – how else can you explain the ridiculously high number of tackles that he is 3rd/4th man into – he just wants more DT points!!!! Too bad he does nothing else – solid without being spectacular.

Dragons v Manly
Soward(30) - (75) - Has to be considered after his massive game last week - might be a bit harder to score against Manly than it was against the Roosters, although Manly will be missing their Origin stars.

GC v Eels
Hindmarsh(5) - (91) - Solid 77 last week. Expect a good score again. Nothing much else to say - solid.
Laffranchi(6) - (87) - Massive 132 last week – admittedly it was against the Raiders, but you would think he could do the same thing against the Eels this week, at home on the GC. You need to remember, this bloke cost $450k at the start of the year, so he has the ability to score massive DT points. Some might say he is a bargain at $348k – his lowest value of the year was $338k. The only other bloke to be that high all year long has been Gallen – and Ben Cousins.

Nick's Captains top 5 for the week:
1 - Laffranchi
2 - Bronson
3 - Stagg
4 - Hindmarsh
5 – Luck
This is a non-league round, but still, respond to the poll and let everyone know who you are locking in as captain. Last week we had 18 votes - let's got for 50 this week!!!
