Sc Jedi Master

Cameron Smith has announced his retirement from the NRL.

The Duke

*Removes CS9 from team…*

Wallah Hezbula

Would love to have seen him play for another team but when it’s time, it’s time. GOAT tier career and crazy to think he never won a Clive Churchill medal even in their salary cap affected GFs

The Beer Whisperer

About bloody time.

roaming_goat

Not in love with my current team, unsure about the big $$ for SCrichton, show me my glaring mistakes:

HOK: CWatson, JLiddle
FRF: STaukeiaho, TFaasuamaleaui, SLeniu, SUtoikamanu
2RF: ACrichton, RMatterson, DFifita, BSmith, RJames, BTrbojevic
HFB: NCleary, SWalker
5/8: CMunster, MMoylan
CTW: SCrichton, DLaurie, CStaines, BSimonsson, JRoberts, FNiu, JSuaalii
FLB: JTedesco, LMitchell

I’d be wary on the 3 nuffs, how much ITB?

roaming_goat

41k

Owen27

downgrade Scrichton to capwell would leave you 120K ITB to upgrade the nuffs. Fusitua would be a good upgrade for Suaalii

Rusty C

Sorry about the late reply but yes I like that ^

Jetspeed

What does the lack of bottom dollar cheapies in Rnd 1 mean?

TU More money spent on NPR, meaning your 17 gets off to a slower start, or
TD 1 or 2 nuffs becomes a viable option to start with?

Probably the wrong strategy but I’m team jetspeed and looking for a flying start so 2 nuffs for me in an otherwise vanilla team

Watson, Liddle
Tino, Welch, Leniu, Uto
Crichton, Matto, Fifita, Barnett*, Cheese*, Riki*
Cleary, Walker
Lam, Schuster
Capewell, Staines, Laurie, Simo, Niu, Fusitua, Saab
Teddy, Paps*

Owen27

Goign fifita too like a lodge or Ofa through moving tino means you can upgrade the nuffs to guys who’d make you money. like Moylan for schuster?

Jetspeed

Cheers Owen, moving Fifita to Ofa would be handy coverage too with duals with Tino in case one of my FRF goes down which could be a good strategy.

Hoffa

At the risk of getting lost in all the other teams. Interested if anyone has any suggestions.

$20k itb

Watson, Liddle*
Welch, Lodge, Uto, Leniu
Matto,Tino, Angus, Cheese*, Riki*, Fui
Cleary, Walker
Walker, Moylan
Capewell, kelly, Staines, Laurie, Fusi, Niu, Simmo
Teddy, Latrell*

Cheers

Rusty C

I don’t see a lot wrong, pretty balanced.

Hoffa

Cheers, only thoughts are to downgrade Kelly and upgrade FRF.

Rusty C

Yeah I have TKO currently, was attracted towards your option. Will have to consider pros and cons. You have any?

Hoffa

I like the stability of Kelly and Capewell in CTW, takes out some of the unpredictability

Owen27

So well balanced i would almost leave it and not over think.

Wallah Hezbula

Damn Hoffa, nice squad…

Hoffa

Cheers

hastings7

tu;cook td; munster .Cheers in advance

Rusty C

TU Moylan
TD Lam

bulldogs808

Think I’m happy with this team. Don’t like the storm start and taking a risk no Munster or pap.

Watson, Liddell
Welch,lodge,leniu,uto
Crichton, Barnett, fifita, cheese, riki, fui
Cleary, fog
Whighton, lam
To’o, Staines, nui, Simonsson, Laurie, suaalii, fus
Teddy, brimson.

The Beer Whisperer

On what basis is Paulo expected to get greater minutes? Just an indication from the coach?

The Beer Whisperer

Thanks, I’m tossing up vs SST. I’ll put it to vote.

jettio

TU: To’o
TD: Capewell + 100k ITB

Bulldogs1

I think I’m done, and ready for round1, unless you think I need to fiddle more.
Any changes you can think of, Opinion is greatly appreciated.

Watson – Liddle (r)
Tino – Welch – Leniu – Uto
Gus – Lolo – Matto – Riki (r) – James – Saddler
Cleary (vc) – Walker
Calker – CHT (r)
Averillo – Reimis – Staines – Laurie – Saab – Niu – Simonsson
Teddy (c) – Pappy

25k in the bank

CoG

Not sure i’d be comfortable with a frf and half spots having no back up but we need to push our luck somewhere

Owen27

Trying to decide between two options.

Option 1 – Lam and Crichton

Option 2 – Fogarty and a 2FR under 550K thinking Barnett with the goal kicking.

Option one means Lam is my starting hooker with watson my starting 5/8, CHT reserve HB. Option 2 means watson starting hooker, CHT starting 5/8 with fogarty as my reserve HB.

Thanks in advance guys.

Hoffa

Option 1

Owen27

thanks bro, its what i currently have

luigi

ok fellow players,what is the extent of j m king’s foot injury?does he go straight to 9 on return?or does sit on bench and ease back in?

CoG

rnd 3 – nrl.com .Running out of funds luigi ?

luigi

was thinking deitz

CoG

Bench hkrs are poison in sc and ones with a minimal js are super toxic

The Beer Whisperer

TU: Paulo
TD: SST

Queen St Cowboy

I’m surprised by how clear cut this vote is – have been tossing up and ended up landing on Paulo myself.

Amans94

Anyone re-considering CHT given he’s unlikely to kick goals in at least Round 1?

https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/03/08/round-1-late-mail-whos-in-whos-out-and-in-doubt/

Owen27

Definitely have to now. If kodi kicks well does it give him a chance to keep it

The Green Monsters

Yeah big news. Read this just as I was swapping back to CHT from Fogarty for the 15th time today lol

Amans94

Haha i’ve been running with both for now but might have to drop CHT, if it’s only for RD1 though I’m happy to hold

Klim

TU: JBrailey and RJames

TD: Liddle and Fergo

Mexicans

TU: Brimson, J.Brailey and Moylan (playing Brimson and Brailey)
TD: Tedesco, Liddle and S.Walker (Playing Teddy only)

TU: Tino +TKO, trell
TD TKO + Welch + paps

Bronco Power

Ok looking set for kickoff, happy with distribution of funds esp with strong 17. Appreciate any input, here’s Round 1:

Watson (Liddle)
Tino, Welch (Uto, DanFifita)
Crichton, Matto, Leilua, BSmith, Ofa (Burbo)
Cleary (C), Fogarty
DWalker (Moylan)
Capewell, RSmith, Staines, Laurie (Saab, Niu, Simmo)
Pap (VC), Teddy

Grant

With teams so vanilla, looking for pods, looking at anti-podding Papi for Gutho.

bulldogs808

I’ve done the same but with brimson

Owen27

could go latrell

Grant

I can’t with his base.

Grant

Unless Reynolds goes down and he goal kicks

BillyLFC

Don’t switch up your team because of their popularity. They are popular for a reason. You should pick who you think scores more and not be compromising for fancy pods.

Temple Guard

Had Nutho for the first 2 RD’s as Capt…. 30 vs Doggies 36 vs Titans….dropped him after that

Watson / Liddle
