I was right - I avoided to select any player for this game and was right about that - also leaving Nadolo out of my starting line-up was another good move.
The Crusaders were pathetic and I wonder where they will be after this game on the overall log?

Awesome
I do not think it may necessarily affect our League standing. Two-thirds of the members will have both SBW and Nadolo playing and a huge percentage will have Nadolo as captain as well.
To be quite frank - I was worried about this game and fearful of the number of points players would gain. Very few players will select Nai-nai Williams in their Back Row and the only other effective backline player was Lowe - whom I had in my NZ Herald dream team. Iro of the Foxsport comp I preferred the cheaper Skudder-Milner ahead of Lowe.
There were three good point-scorers today - Leitsh, Lowe and NN Williams. Of all our members one and Leitch and two Lowe. None had Williams. I think that may also b the case in other le agues as well.

I saw Dagg had some sort of leg problem in the last game & that Nadolo also was not too flash but stupidly I stuck with them. Double stupid in that I picked Nadolo as my captain. So I am playing with 14 players and a captain that got double negative points. We will see how the rest of my team goes but I certainly got off to a bad start.
At least I knew not to select SBW as with his knee injury I thought he would have minimum impact on this game.

I took nadolo out for skudder. Good choice their. Sbw diddnt do to bad relatively speaking. Not an ideal game to score big. He scored 19 so far. Thats solid.

I beg to differ about the points scored by SBW - anything below 20 is to my mind a bad investment from a points perspective. In any event SBW is a bad investment - taken into account that he has been injured and he is very expensive thus neutralizing other selections - which could be very productive point scorers in fantasy rugby. I took him out and will not bring him back into my selections again this year.
What scared me off Nadolo was the fact that he left the previous match limping off the field with what looked like a knee injury. He obviously was not fully recovered and that was clear in his performance yesterday.
I have serious reservations about the performances of the Crusaders this year and consequently include only a few of their players in my selections. The most embarrassing player yesterday was not Nadolo - it was in fact Andy Ellis whom some members included in their selection as scrummie.
My advice to you is - get away from Romano asap
