After a divisive week of captaincy calls, Round 6 shapes as a much clearer decision, with all eyes turning to Nathan Cleary. The question is whether you simply take the safe option or look for ways to hedge and gain an edge.

We break down Cleary’s outlook, the alternative captaincy plays, and how to approach the decision depending on your risk appetite and rank position.

This is a week where getting captaincy right could stabilise your season.
