    Was tempted to make Lilo captain, but decided against it. My captaincy woes finally came to an end with the installation of Stephen Moore as my skipper.

    Unfortunately, Moore has the bye this week. I will have to find myself an interim captain.. SFR, who is your captain this week?

    I was thinking of bringing in Cruden as he is in great form however the Chiefs have a bye next week so it is only a one round solution. Will also depend on how many other Chiefs players you currently have.

    I have three chiefs so it might be worth looking outside their team. Maybe Dan Carter seeing they are playing the Rebs. Thoughts?

    Yeah, I'll probably pick up a Crusader for Lilo. I'll sort my team out during lunch, so I can let you know what I decide shortly!

    Current team is:

    P: Oesthuizen,Taumaloloo
    H: Bismarck du Plessis (C)
    L: Retallick, Sharpe
    BR: Pocock, CJ Stander, Thomson (reserve Coetzee. Was unsure who to leave out)
    HB: Hougaard
    IB: Cruden, Fruean, Barrett
    OB: Andre Taylor, Lambie, Joe Pietersen

    I forgot that I put Cruden in last week so I already had him. Only transfer so far was Fruean in for Lealiifano.

    With 3 Chiefs players, I have already committed most of my transfers for next week (although have Pyle on the bench so Retallick can just be benched).

    Was a tough choice for who should be captain. Went for Bismarck against the Force. The other potential was Fruean against the Rebels although if the Crusaders play as badly as they did last week, they might not score too many points. That being said, they could play more like they did against the Tahs and score a bunch of tries.

    Needlessly to say, anyone notice that most teams have the same props and locks.kudos to those who picked them in the first couple of rounds.

    Fair to say that whilst teams are starting to look similar across the board, the difference would be selecting the captain each week.have transferred in Peter Grant and made him captain.

    I find it interesting that this stats website "http://www.rugbystats.com.au/rugby/super15.html?refresh=1336997253426" differs so much from what is reflected in the FoxSports Fantasy scoring each week! Especially since these guys apparently supply Foxsports with SuperRugby stats. Does anyone know where FoxSports actually get their stats from? Any thoughts?

    Stuffed up big time in selecting Liebenberg in my team, leaving Dane Coles of Hurricanes on bench, hadn't checked to make sure he was in the run on side for Stormers, alas not, scored zero points whilst Coles scored 38.waaah.

    And the reds are the first to name their team this week. Wondering if their tardiness over the last few weeks have been trying to determine the availability of QC.

    You think that's bad, I completely forgot to reinstate Taumalolo into my starting XV. So he was on the bench while my main pick Benny Robbo scored only 8.

    Difference of 50-odd points. Very costly error.

    I feel your pain Baabaa. I thought I was doing something genius by buying Dan Carter over Cruden for my inside backs. Against the Rebels, surely a big score for the Cru! Alas, DC scored an impressive 2 points for the game, leaving me dropping like a rock down the G&GR ladder. From 3 to 13 in two weeks!

    Hey, I went from 23 to 49 in one week, thanks also to picking TKB before the Chiefs were named, and having CJ Stander, Ben Robbo and Pat Lambie (my captain) both leaving the field at or before half time in their respective games.
