Moylan to lam gives u dual with Watson

dnobos

Do we think LCroker plays 80. Seems like he might looking at that bench. Tossing up between him and Moylan.

Bear

Maybe but Cade Cust could be back any week.

Casper

He could play 180 mins and still be a skidmark on your SC team, steer clear!

Bluey the Cattledog

TU: TKO Welch Fusitua

TD: To’o Kelly Ogden

or a combination of the 3

I don’t like Ogden I can see him being lucky to get 40 mins and has no job security as a starter – also the pommy is due back round 5 so likely 2 crap price rises.

Quick one

Thoughts on this team and any changes that could make it better.

Watson (liddle)
Tino, Welch (Lenin, Uto)
Matto, chricton, fifita, (*riki, James, burbo)
Cleary (*fogarty)
CWalker (*lam)
Averillo, Staines, laurie, simmo (niu, fusitua, saab)
Teddy (*Pappy)

Sniper

At the moment I have DWalker at CTR and Averillo at 5/8 and no Lam, Watson at HKR. Is Lam worth getting or am I better staying with this?

Eric Cartman

wait and see for me

BillyLFC

Lam > Dwalker imo. Id move Averillo to ctw where he represents his best value and pick up Lam or Moylan for backup 5/8.

Sniper

Thanks for the replies, leaning towards ditching Walker, he only became interesting when named at FLB.

BillyLFC

I too was interested and after rumours that Turbo might not return immediately (or at all) to fullback i was even more interested.

If we got more clarification on that situation it would be easier to assess but assuming DWlker goes back to ctw or the halves when Turbo is back than he is not nearly as interesting.

koma

TU: TKO, Barnett, Latrell
TD: Welch, Tino, Papy

Really trying to find a way to fit in Walker & Munster without destroying my team, currently sitting on;

Watson/*Liddle
SST-Lodge/Leniu-Uto
Angus-Tino-B.Smith/*Ofa-Riki-Fui
Cleary/Swalker
CWalker/*Munster
Capewell-Staines-Laurie-Niu/Fusi-Saab-Simo
Teddy/*Papy

I like carrying s.walker as a nuff it allows me to have Cody & Munster without being spread too thin, thoughts anyone?

luigi

how much $ itb

Afro Monkey

Think like 3k ITB before changes

BillyLFC

If you want a bit more cash to strengthen those centres you could go Ofa to Blore or even James and reserve Riki. Id personally be reserving Riki over both Ofa and Liddle anyway.

Afro Monkey

Ok didn’t realise the wraps on Riki was that big, thought Ofa might have been a decent R.

Always-Hopeful

Hi All, My very first post – played SC last year first time – finished just under 4000th

I want to be better, so thought I’d post my team. Seems quite similar to many.
Hit me hard, I want to learn.

Watson / Liddell*
Welch, Lodge / Faamausili, Uto
Gus, Matto, Tino / Cheese*, Capewell*, Riki*
Cleary / SWalker
Calker / Lam
Kelly, Roberts, Niu, Laurie / Fusi, Saab, Simo
Teddy, Staines

I can’t decide between Papy and Latrell – so I was thinking about waiting to see.
$222k ITB

Cheers

Wallah Hezbula

Nice rank for first year mate. Would be playing Capewell & Staines in your CTW and using the cash to upgrade one of your backs to a gun FB.

Always-Hopeful

Thanks! haha, that’s my problem, I can’t decide on Papy or Latrell – ok, back to the drawing board

Shlapper

Is that because you can’t decide between them pts wise? If so consider that Latrell is $105k cheaper and in only 20% of teams as opposed to 39% so is a major POD different between them. Just something to consider.

Mighty tigs

Well get one of them both should score well, Papi tough first 3 games but has more chance of been a keeper

Always-Hopeful

Thanks.

I went for Latrell, I do like the look of it more.He looked good in the preseason game and Benji was talking him up.

So
Capewell and Staines instead of Kelly and Roberts
I’ve put BMM into 2RF
I’m not keen on James or Fui

now
Watson / Liddell*
Welch, Lodge / Faamausili, Uto
Gus, Matto, Tino / Cheese*, BMM, Riki*
Cleary / SWalker
Calker / Lam
Capewell, Staines, Niu, Laurie / Fusi, Saab, Simo
Teddy, Latrell*

Bronco Power

Just a bit of a reshuffle to get the strength of this forward pack. Moylan last reserve prob won’t lose much this week compared to a Riki/Fui/Liddle.

Api (Liddle)
Tino, Welch (Leniu, Uto)
Crichton, Matto, Leilua, Ofa (Fui, Burbo)
Cleary (C), Fogarty
Watson, Moylan
Capewell, Staines, Fus, Laurie (Saab, Niu, Simmo)
Pap (VC), Teddy

Good luck to all!

Eric Cartman

nice team mate. liking moylan vs the dragons as a reserve.

Main query that jumped out at me was……do you really want to slap the VC on Papy straight up and lock out the option to put the C on the highest averaging player of last year who can go large and is up against a Manly team that is held together by sticky tape first up?

Will

Thoughts appreciated

Lam (Liddle)
Welch,Lodge (Leniu,Uto)

Hey guys, I was hoping to get some opinion on the team.
I have left out Lolo but I’m not sure if I should try to bring him in.

ITB: 7.8k
B Smith – Liddle
Welch, Lodge – Hetherington, Uto
Angus, Matto, Tino – NAS*, Riki*, R James

Thoughts on picking Blore over Ryan James in the second row? Heard it on the SC playbook podcast and thought it was a good option as I am a bit worried with James once Horse and CHN come back, looking at the team I can’t see how James isn’t one of the two players to make way for them. And there are no other cheap second rowers apart from Riki, I think Fui is a trap as well

Masonic Knights

Blores injured indefinately isn’t he?

BillyLFC

Wrist injury. Back in about 2 months.

Ertl Turtle

yeah 6-8 weeks but i feel i would rather hold blore there knowing he will come back and make money then take the risk on James who even if he starts on the bench for a while will be a slow burn, but i expect him to drop out once the other two come back

Casper

No point holding a bloke at the start of they year for 6-8 weeks when they are not playing, regardless of $$.

BillyLFC

a whole heap of teams have Walker or Suaalii or even both. Its no different. In fact those 2 may not even touch first grade till origin!

Sonnysideup

There is $36,800 difference between holding Blore vs Walker and Suaalii and there is also the chance that Blore can’t force his way into the side once he has recovered.
Personally I think the best option with Blore is look to use him as a downgrade option IF the opportunity arises

luigi

i must agree with you casper,on 2 counts.
