Site co-founder and all round SC tragic, Nick no longer writes too much these days but hosts the SC Report each week and looks after most of the site administration.
After completion of a poll I ran back a few pages ago, Mau was the preferred candidate over TKO for my team (H2H only).
Just after some thoughts on Mau v Kikau to round out my team until semi’s. Trading out Arrow and can only afford up to 550k.
Need to get a backup halfback otherwise looking pretty solid. I’d sell cnk for a 2nd row nuff and bring nikora down then look at upgrading deardon. Maybe no rush to bring one in tho so long as both ponga and SJ are named in 15 and 17
As Backi said, sell CNK to a nuff to get Nikora down to CTW, then use the money to upgrade Dearden. I would get Moses as he’s the best HFB this year (DCE is worse since he isn’t goal kicking), and you already have SJ who is the only real keeper HFB playing 16.
That is the sound advice I was looking for. Thanks. Going bonkers with this “time off”. Might just need to step away for a few days. Which will end up being 10 min…
haha all good, I’ve traded and reversed so many times now.
I know we should all just wait until next week to even consider trades but its just too damn tempting

How is this for a plan guys? Brailey to Smith Teddy to Turbo (1 week late but his price doesn’t look like getting any cheaper) Allan to RTS Murray to TKO (Murray will come back in around rd 18/19) CNK to Sandor or someone similar Then next week: Arey to SJ JFH to either Matters or Latrell Gets me 6 more for 16 (I have 7 now with I guess Haas a slim possibility). Then I will need to buy for run home – Teddy, Murray, Mau, Bateman, Mitchell (maybe if not bought for 16) and one of Cleary/DCE/Munster. I… Read more »
Is Moses a gun Hb ? I worry about Moses and the rest of the Hb DCE seem to have lost kicking duties Cleary is inconsistent .and Moses can be a rollercoaster
Cutting it fine on trades to get all those guns back in. What Bank will you have after all the R16 trades? You might need to keep a couple spare to nuff and generate cash to get all the guns. Also only leaves you with 2 trades to cover injury/suspension. No problem if you’ve got the duels to cover, but just something to think about.
Yeah that is my issue. Will likely have to go without Matters and may not be able to bring Murray back in. I don’t think I will have much cash spare after rd 16.
I originally forgot about Bateman, but he is obviously a must.
Thanks for the reply.

Who takes the Storm ctw spots rnd 16? Blair has gone, Eisenhuth is still injured I think. That leaves Olam (just did a hammy and $259000) and Earl (no thanks). Papenhuyzen could start but he’s well overpriced now.
Apparently the Storm are gonna sign Kata, but who knows?
I’m pretty sure Earl will get JAC’s wing spot with Kata at centre if he does sign before June 30. Papi will probably start but that assumes Hughes moving to 5/8 to cover Munster
If you want to hold and can comfortably do it, its the POD play. I personally would sell Reynolds with no hesitation to DCE/Moses/Cleary/SJ. Surgess is a tough one. Good 18th man on matchups.
i have cleary already , umming and ahhing bout SJ and thinking nuff the half position or hold Arey. This position is troubling me as the money is there with rey and cleary but not sure if its best upgrading or downgrading or holding. I didnt back my judgement with Surg as i didnt select him after round 2 for that reason then got FOMO for the round 12 bye, the rest could benefit but the $$ in that position could be used better for rnd 16 , prop with hass and fifi there and kapow getting better is making… Read more »

Instead of the usual forward heavy team, the dual 2R/CWs this year i think will result in me taking a different approach. At this stage im thinking only 4 guns in the 2nd row with 2 dual cw nuffs. If needed i can cover short term 2nd row injuries with the likes of Bateman, Mau and Nikora and bring a CW off the bench. WIll allow me to stack the CW with 7 playable options that will rotate one or two in each week based on match ups. Does anyone think this is a better option this year or go… Read more »
Im going to go down this path I think. Already have 2 gun FB, 4 gun halves and will have 2 gun hookers. Likely to run thin in FRF/2FRF and with duals be able to cover injuries. Only way I can make ground is trying to play CTW who go large on match up vs’s the reliable FWD options. Its a risk but gotta be different to make ground from back in the pack
Not sure the talent is there to support the option. Bateman locked in every week. Latrell has proven that match ups don’t matter for him, completely unpredictable – must be played every week. You’re left rotating so many players through 2/3 slots (assuming you play 1 R on FLB, 1 R on 5/8 and 1 R in 2RF). I think having 5 options for 2 places is overkill in terms of variety for match ups. Especially if you carry a base beast like Ma’u, who you would probably play most weeks anyway. I’m not sure it’s worth weakening other areas… Read more »
Could run the same strategy with your FRF by having JFH or TKO in your FRF to cover 2RF injury, and go all out with 4 guns in the halves (which not many people will be doing I’d imagine)
Agree on the CTW rotation… not strong enough to do it there… just trying to consider alternate options to playing the stock standard 2RF rotation. Having strong reserve options at FB, 5/8, HB and HOK offers an alternate for someone chasing POD points.
I was think of going 4 gun halves but im not convinced there is 1 gun halfbacks from this point forward yet alone 2. Thats why i was more looking at centres

Any other RD16 nuff’s that are CTW/2RF that will play RD16 only?
currently have Eisenhuth but alot of question marks about him playing?
All this great planning this week… we’re gonna get slugged with a ton of injuries/suspensions from the rep round this week to force us all back to the drawing board aren’t we???
Any advice please supercoaches. So with my 7 trades over the next 2 weeks I can get this team together with 6 trades left and roughly $120k Rd15 trades: Fifita -> Matto Lane -> Kerr Deardren -> Watson CNK -> Mitchell Marsters -> Manu Rd 16 trades: Granville -> McInnes Arthars -> Earl Squad: Cook McInnes Haas AFB Taupau Mikaele Lolo Murray Matto Jurbo Nikora Kerr Cleary SJ Ponga Watson Bateman Latrell Xerri Burns To’o Manu Earl Turbo Teddy The main post-16 issues will be moving on Watson to a podish half, going Manu to a fwd (probably Fifita) to… Read more »
Trading Marsters cause I’m struggling to see him scoring over 30 that week and I think he’ll drop 80k+ by 16 when I go to trade him out. While I view Burns as a potential pod that I can rotate with Nikora, Xerri & To’o for those last 2 ctw spots
Oh O’sullivan. I’m hoping Watson will score 70+ in 16 while I think SOS will struggle against an almost full-strength Sharks. Not a bad option to free up cash though, cheers mate
L martin a Hold?? Has that look that he can get the 55+ base and seems to threaten the line off cleary. Should i upgrade or just see how he goes?? Struggling to rid my round 12 player’s Also fotauki was meant to be a trade out but has given me something to think about as has carty sivo and whitehead, my round 16 players like Burr Smith Mcinness TKO are who i would prefer to trade out but they are playing in the byes Basically have Fifi Fotu Surg Martin Arey Brimson CNK Whitehead Sivo Rapana Garrick Oku Is… Read more »
i think moylan owners will want to make back the lost pts , good round to do it too lol .
SJ owners would be keen too as would xerri owners , a few floating around after that poor brons game and half their team out
they also play last next week against the dogs , no fifi going forward could make those games closer than what i thought and is why i’m not too confident .
there are also players like C Smith Hughes Nofo Matto Pearce who can be other VC/C choices .
there are enough players who can score big on their day and im sure 1 will come from the clouds , i wonder if capewell can do a crighton a few years back , i know Capewell does have a 150+ to his name 🙂
Can you afford to go Simonsson to Kerr and CNK to Latrell and hold Gutho? feel like he has bottomed out and will come good with Eel’s good run home.
Just a thought
I would hold all of those players and maybe upgrade to a gun or downgrade to a RD16 nuff elsewhere?
All are players you will need for the run home.
Also what other RD16 keeper forward would you want that you don’t already own? (matto and TKO)
Yeah I’m starting to think this option probably makes the most sense. Was thinking of bringing in a Pangai or a Uele as a bit of a POD. Thanks for your opinion
I’m in 2 minds , if i go hard with 7 then it will be vanilla teams , might be wiser or might back fire.
Going 2-3 trades would set back 250-300 pts but could gain 40-50 a week the back end depending how much sacrifice was taken , taking into consideration that there are still players like oates and JAC who can ton up i will most likely stick with the gut and try make up pts later , im not up top with you guys though so my opinion means nothing
6 player’s with hass make’s 7 , so max trading would give 13-14 players. anyone that went turbo C has lost a player for rnd 16 but all but made up 3 numbers imo , i took the risk and he scored 330 pts which could well be 6 players totals come rnd 16.. Another one of those risks would all but make it fiesable to by pass rnd 16 and capitilise on 17 and the run home… i do like to gamble so i will wait as late as possible to make my calls but there seems to be… Read more »
All depends if Hass, Matto and Latrell play 16. If they do I think the leader will have 13 along with most in the top 10.
Edit I’ll probably have 12 if all of the above play.
I don’t think I can get top so i’ll target Paddy and Bobs spots. #Mind games4eva 😎
Not sure yet but injuries will decide it . Either way i.ll be looking at rnds 15 – 18 as a package
3 player’s in top 100 , 13 players in top 2000. i’m just filling in the background but 1st would feel nice, shame no prize for the leagues… you will have to carry us there
Yep, I’m sadly only able to get 11, that will include Matto and excludes Haas. Thanks a lot to the Crush brothers as I brought in Barnett 2 weeks ago and already had Fifita, very deflating
If bringing in guns yes or players who will make cash and then you have the trades to upgrade them. Don’t go bringing in midrangers just for extra numbers.
that is the tighest league i have seen lol , i just won my head to head scoring 1300 hahahaha that was with turbo updates, ridiculous.
You winning by 36 might explain why flock was carrying on about the lose of pts for a few of his eels , he might still be sending emails of protest for the pts back 😛
it hurts seeing my for scored , geez my first 2 rounds OUCH
After completion of a poll I ran back a few pages ago, Mau was the preferred candidate over TKO for my team (H2H only).
Just after some thoughts on Mau v Kikau to round out my team until semi’s. Trading out Arrow and can only afford up to 550k.
Cook, CS9
Haas, Fifi, Taupau, (FRF/2RF Nuff)
LoLo, Jurbo, Murray, Surgess, *ARROW*, (2RF/CTW Nuff)
Cleary, SJ
Ponga, Munster
Bateman, Nikora, Latrell, Xerri, Gutho, CNK, (2RF/CTW Nuff)
Teddy, Turbo
TU Mau
TD Kikau
Alright lads my forwards are a bit of a mess right now, need some advice on who to trade out
Fifita, SST, (Haas, AFB)
Jake T, Lolo, Matterson, (Murray, Tapau, Nikora)
Confused where the mess is, this is a great pack.
Just get Nikora down to your CTW you’re in good shape.
I dunno, just feel like I’ve invested too much in the forwards… Do you think I should keep both AFB and Tapau for the run home?
You would have to post the rest of your team to show where you are weak
SJ, (Dearden)
Ponga, (Hutchison)
Bateman, Marsters, CNK, Gutho, (Xerri, Too, Simonsson)
Turbo, RTS
H2h or overall?
Overall
Need to get a backup halfback otherwise looking pretty solid. I’d sell cnk for a 2nd row nuff and bring nikora down then look at upgrading deardon. Maybe no rush to bring one in tho so long as both ponga and SJ are named in 15 and 17

No mess here. Pretty vanilla which is solid. Just get Nikora to CTW and your firing,
so lads finally got my trade combinations working this week I did :
CNK > Maumolo
JFH> Matterson
young > Kerr/ eisenthuth (not sure which is the better nuff)
Egan > CS9
Garrick > Staggs
next week I will go dearden > SJ as Cleary will not back up with the 2 day turn around .
Rnd 17 is when he will have the 2 day turn around?
yeah I know but Johnson will drop one more price rise and I can just get him then.
Looking to trade out JFH for a number in R16 and beyond (18th/19th man).
TU: TKO
TD: Twal
If you’re looking at FRFs instead of 2RFs, Braden Hamlin-Uele could be a huge POD play with Fifi out in R15 and 16
Xerri to Latrell this week?
both play RD16, Xerri in great form at the moment. Maybe find another way to get Latrell?
That is the sound advice I was looking for. Thanks. Going bonkers with this “time off”. Might just need to step away for a few days. Which will end up being 10 min…

Moses/Cleary (or DCE or Munster)
Ponga/SJ
Bateman/Nikora/Ma’u/Mitchell/Xerri or Maumalo
Turbo/Teddy
Then 2 nuffs
Probably a POD
Yeah that’s a fair call.
Most are PODs for a reason though I guess.
Ranked in top 100 so can keep it solid and bring in a POD in a few rds.
SJ is not a gun at 5/8.
Moses and SJ are interchangeable I guess.
You reckon Ponga/Munster is the go at 5/8?
Yep. Ponga/Munster is the gun 5/8 combo.
Let’s hope he becomes one in either hbor 5/8 juicy price soon
Is Moses a gun Hb ? I worry about Moses and the rest of the Hb DCE seem to have lost kicking duties Cleary is inconsistent .and Moses can be a rollercoaster
The stats say he is, though I don’t own him.

Arey and Surg are going to be hard to trade out , what to do what to do …. Really want to hold . Thoughts ?
I wanted to hold Surgess but traded him to Aitken this week
Surg is a trade, he’s not a keeper this year.
If you want to hold and can comfortably do it, its the POD play. I personally would sell Reynolds with no hesitation to DCE/Moses/Cleary/SJ. Surgess is a tough one. Good 18th man on matchups.

Plenty of players that can go big, not alot that consistently do.
VC Lolo, C Ponga- might not know if Haas is playing til an hour before and run the loop if he’s out
Talking about 16
Ok TKO could be good for a 70 as a VC, which you may well bank the double points in the absence of quality captaincy candidates later in 16
Ponga C is my go as well
Vc paps / Jughes C Lazy but don’t like an early captain in a crap shoot like this. Damm fifi
Isaac Liu 56 mins scored 68 in base stats at prop , when is JFH back?
JWH and hes back this week.
my bad JWH , BE 10 but not sure he is worth it at lock
How do these trades sound
Teddy to Turbo
CNK to Kerr via Nikora
Gutho to Latrell
Simonsson to Earl
Will sell Too for a nuff to afford CS9 and then bring Teddy back in for RTS after round 16
Can you afford to go Simonsson to Kerr and CNK to Latrell and hold Gutho? feel like he has bottomed out and will come good with Eel’s good run home.
Just a thought
alright ill back gutho in, cheers mate
Wanting to bring in another forward for round 16. Who would be my most ideal trade out option? Here’s my pack:
Haas Fifita (AFB Kerr)
Murray JTurbo Lolo (TKO Taupau Matterson)
Thanks for your thoughts everyone
I would hold all of those players and maybe upgrade to a gun or downgrade to a RD16 nuff elsewhere?
All are players you will need for the run home.
Also what other RD16 keeper forward would you want that you don’t already own? (matto and TKO)
Yeah I’m starting to think this option probably makes the most sense. Was thinking of bringing in a Pangai or a Uele as a bit of a POD. Thanks for your opinion
You can cover Fifita and Haas quite well if they are both out and still have a great 2nd row.
Who’s firing 7 trades over 2 weeks?
I need to for decent R16 numbers.
I’ve gone back and forth about 30 times on this haha. I’ll let you know 5mins before lockout. Currently yes, using 7 trades in 2 weeks!
I’m in 2 minds , if i go hard with 7 then it will be vanilla teams , might be wiser or might back fire.
Going 2-3 trades would set back 250-300 pts but could gain 40-50 a week the back end depending how much sacrifice was taken , taking into consideration that there are still players like oates and JAC who can ton up i will most likely stick with the gut and try make up pts later , im not up top with you guys though so my opinion means nothing
Most people have 20 guns already so stacking up on the week where no one has a full 17 is going to be the round to make the most points in.
I’m gunning for a strong 17 in rds 15 and 17. Plenty of spots can be made up in these rds as well as 16 if origin players are getting rested.
6 player’s with hass make’s 7 , so max trading would give 13-14 players. anyone that went turbo C has lost a player for rnd 16 but all but made up 3 numbers imo , i took the risk and he scored 330 pts which could well be 6 players totals come rnd 16..

Not me, I’m only using 3 or 4 in the next 2 weeks. 2-3 this week and 0-2 next week
Yep. It’s the only way we can get close to Dez
I’ll be using all 5 this round which I hadn’t originally planned to do
Whether I use both in Rd 16 is yet to be determined……mostly depends on if Latrell is available for Rd 16 in which case I will use both trades
Who cares when I run out because this year has given me the shits anyway 😆 😆
Anyone know how longs Barnett out for?
He misses the next 3 matches (took the early guilty plea).
Cheers
So does Ese’ese take Barnett’s starting spot? Could be a sneaky draft pick up
How many players are overall players targeting for round 16?
A) 11
B) 12
C) 13
D) 14
To catch the top 10 I think anything between 12-14 is the go.
What do others think?
Realistically, 12 (B) for me. Guys like yourself in the Top 50 may want/need a slightly higher number.
All depends if Hass, Matto and Latrell play 16. If they do I think the leader will have 13 along with most in the top 10.
Edit I’ll probably have 12 if all of the above play.
Almost impossible for me to get 13, I think.
Might have to blow all 7 trades in the next 2 weeks, Paddy. 😉
I mean, I’m going to and I still don’t think I can get 13 haha.
Good luck, mate. I’m sure you’ve got a plan. Quality over quantity.
I’m going to have to do some sideways trading Paddy to get 12 or 13.
I have a firm draft which would be certainly thumbs downed.
I don’t think I can get top so i’ll target Paddy and Bobs spots. #Mind games4eva 😎
Not sure yet but injuries will decide it . Either way i.ll be looking at rnds 15 – 18 as a package
Same I’m looking it as a package. Put it this way I’d be nervous about rd 17 if I had Ponga and Munster as my 5/8s and Cleary and SJ as my halves.
Why are you nervous about SJ?
Smith’s 400th at aami park im guessing 🙂
storm lose all their milestone games. lock SJ in for a big one 😉
He’s playing the storm while Pearce is at home against the Dogs and Moses is at bankwest against the Tigers.
yep BoB its like navigating a mine field with a long stick as your only tool
IT’S FINE BOB I HAVE BBRAIL AS AN AE, OKAY!
i’m looking at 6-13 player’s 🙂
The early birds league would look down on you only having 6 OTB. Go hard IMO.
3 player’s in top 100 , 13 players in top 2000. i’m just filling in the background but 1st would feel nice, shame no prize for the leagues… you will have to carry us there
seriously reckon just go for gold and max trade?
Yep, I’m sadly only able to get 11, that will include Matto and excludes Haas. Thanks a lot to the Crush brothers as I brought in Barnett 2 weeks ago and already had Fifita, very deflating
yeh fifi is a bummer and haas too . there might be more to come over the weekend :/
If bringing in guns yes or players who will make cash and then you have the trades to upgrade them. Don’t go bringing in midrangers just for extra numbers.
I just noticed i’m against you in head to head lol , time to bring you down with another 1300 ::P
Haha. The Flock tried and couldn’t. We’ll see. I need the win or I’m out of the top 8.
that is the tighest league i have seen lol , i just won my head to head scoring 1300 hahahaha that was with turbo updates, ridiculous.
You winning by 36 might explain why flock was carrying on about the lose of pts for a few of his eels , he might still be sending emails of protest for the pts back 😛
it hurts seeing my for scored , geez my first 2 rounds OUCH
That was against me! I’m ninth now!
unlucky , you have a gun team .
I feel like a better question for round 16 is how strong is your team.
Thoughts on Nathan Brown for a trade in H2H
i’m considering him if he can get mins, he seems like he hasnt missed a beat
