I’m more the other way – more worried Joe O will eat into the forward minutes at Parra (with quite a few of them there now), than Matto’s chance at SoO.
If you are going one this week i would take edwards for cash gen, i am waiting a week for Burbo to see his minutes before bringing him in next week for round 13

Hi all , last reserve
TU – Bula v Cows
TD – Billy Smith v Drags
Currently giving Bunty the punty. Maybe Knights are light on cattle with SOO, so Croker could be asked to do a bit more than his usual plodding?

68k 23 trades no boosts
Not sure what to do this week, want billy smith and harrison edwards for points and cash generation, though also want tapine/hopgood/tohu. Was thinking Manu + Saulo = Smith + Edwards, leaving 350k for a gun or two next week. Would also need another hooker like JMK when Grant plays origin. Thoughts appreciated
I would be thinking one cheapie (Smith) one gun on the premise that you cannot have them all.
Harrison will make money but likely not much more. He got extra minutes last week because King and TPJ got less minutes. TPJ dragged off after 15 min and King went from 50 + minutes to under 40 min – His ppm went from about 0.7 to 1.4 on this game with a pie. It could continue obviously the coach likes him. I need one more watch would love to ditch Pele if he were playing R13.
Who has to go: Trade Preston, Hosking, Wilton, Turuva or Holmes for B Smith ? Preston lower av but better bye coverage. Hosking – confident he will keep 80 min but maybe not this week. Wilton best Av of the group. Holmes has to go eventually but like his matchup this week and don’t need him for 13 meaning he is a watch for 14 then viable for R15 before he has to go. Turuva Low BE and should make a little more money – playable and handy for R14 To’o also in the mix about the same as Holmes… Read more »
tough question to answer. If i had all of those i think id lean to letting Hosking go as im not confident he gets 80 anymore. Him or Holmes now as you will sell soon anyway.
Thanks. Leaning the same way. Hard because I really like Hosking and I think he does get 80 because Sorenson has been great impact off the bench in 2 GF’s they may see this as his role.
What to do in the Hooker position? Have jmk and Luke, are they fine to hold throughout the bye period, or would you punt Luke for a grant/borderline gun/other? Had a look at nikorima but is possibly too rocks and diamonds and that combo would create a hole in hk for the rd 16bye. Thoughts?
TU fine for now
TD punt on a risk I.e nikorima
Comment: other?
What am i missing? surely AKP is a keeper, high ceiling, growing in confidence, outside Fifita, likes the pill in hand and has absolute wheels! Please don’t tell me his not playing this weekend is Holbrook dropping him, it couldn’t be an on-field issue!.
I have him in my side and he will stay in my 17, match up dependant, he did cop a low score once, but he has been phenomenally consistent with some big scores.
I should just keep my mouth shut and be happy people are trading him!
He’s not playing and i don’t see him in my final 17. Don’t have an issue with people holding but I’m happy to offload to generate cash for upgrades in positions I’m deficient in.
He’s getting dropped for his mistakes lack of meters making runs out of our own end.
Keeps trying to run around people and getting taken out early in the sets

Thoughts on Jack Bird as a buy? Need to move lane, preferably to a 2RF playing rd 13 as I bought lane specifically for that round? Hopgood looks a bit pricey, Matto looks like he may get origin call up (if not for 1, for 2 or 3), and Hudson Young looks too attacking stat reliant for me.
Good shout. I like him for next week to cover 13 and 14, where guys like Matto and Hopgood don’t cover 14. CTW also great bonus and could easily slot in as a 4th or 5th CTW
Final Reserve
TU: Bula v Cowboys
TD: Peachey v Broncos
Looking at flipping Hosking > Matto but should I be worried about the recent acquisition of Joe O or a potential SOO call up?
I would be more concerned about SOO – wait a week.
I’m more the other way – more worried Joe O will eat into the forward minutes at Parra (with quite a few of them there now), than Matto’s chance at SoO.
I cant see him eating much into Matto’s 50-60 a game. I think Hopgood will lose a few, as will the last middle on the bench, which looks like Makatoa.
Are Parra trying to buy every forward on the planet?
226k itb, 27 trades. team before trades:
Grant-Luke
Tapine,horsbrough – pele, moale
Fifita, hosking, Preston – ford, schus,peach
Hynes – Cleary
Brown – katoa
Val, To’o, Garrick, marz – Manu, croker, AJ
Teddy – bula
Was thinking of holding many and selling To’o for Billy smith and may go Robson to Luke or Preston/moale to someone.
I think I would be tempted to go with your first trade, and then either hold a trade or go Pele > Edwards.
Yep worth waiting and using a boost to grab 13 players for next week I think.
I dont mind that play either !
Bula or Croker for last reserve? Got Cleary, peachy, AJ atm
Bula.
Yea sorry I meant trade Luke to Robson, jmk is who I’m thinking of selling grant to
I’m doing the same To’o > Billy trade.
To’o’s most likely off the next 2 weeks, cash grab, and Billy should score well and earn dough in the meantime
Who for edwards
TU hosking ( frees more cash and minutes a question mark with Liam Martin)
TD schuster (plays 13)
Wouldnt trade either for Edwards if Hosking reverts to the bench tonight then i would
Thinking of the cash he might lose and the cash edwards gains
Surely you’ve held Schuster this long for a reason??
Whos the better cheapie? H2H focus so bye numbers are a bonus.
TU Burbo
TD Edwards
If you are going one this week i would take edwards for cash gen, i am waiting a week for Burbo to see his minutes before bringing him in next week for round 13
Hi all , last reserve
TU – Bula v Cows
TD – Billy Smith v Drags
Isn’t there a history of teams turning up the round after they boot their head coach? If true, then Bula (at home) is your man!
Thanks POD
Good food for thought
from memory that is a myth
Who’s more of a hold, M Croker or Bunty? Both are dual FRF/2RF and play 13
Currently giving Bunty the punty. Maybe Knights are light on cattle with SOO, so Croker could be asked to do a bit more than his usual plodding?
Grant/Luke
Haas Horse/Sipley Saulo
Fifita de Belin Hosking/Ford Gosi Schuster

Dont mind it – with the Papalii news, I would sell Saulo.

I need one more watch would love to ditch Pele if he were playing R13.
Final R: Remis, Schuster, Cheese or IKatoa?
Gee – What a question.
I would go Cheese on match up with the hope he gets a pie against the Dragons.
Schuster with a base under 20 is risky but after having a rocket he may turn up.
Realistically any one of them may do the job or not and spectacularly so.
Remis was better last game but 48 with a pie ?
Hard to select Katoa with 1 score over 50 playing Melbourne but I would play him if I had to.
of that skinny lot – Cheese would be the pick.
He does crank out a good game once in a while and it’s been a while so…

Does everyone think Hudson Young gets the origin call up?
Need to figure out who Hosking goes for.
TU – Matto
TD – Hudson Young
I think one of them does, who knows which. I would suggest that you wait and see this week.
Might just play it safe and bring in Nikora

25 trades, 3 Boosts, $337k itb
Already gone AKP to Smith
Grant, Mahoney
Haas, Edwards, Grieg, Moale
Dfif, Hopgood, Preston, Hosking, Ford, Schuster
Hynes, Cleary
Munster, Brown
Garrick, AJ, marshew, Smith, Manu, CNK, Howarth
Gutho, Bula
Should I pull the trigger on Hosking to Tapine? Have the cash, could also go Moale.
I would be looking at an FRF upgrade for sure. Moale due back soon but with their forward pack starting to fill out, hes tough to lock into a role
What am i missing? surely AKP is a keeper, high ceiling, growing in confidence, outside Fifita, likes the pill in hand and has absolute wheels! Please don’t tell me his not playing this weekend is Holbrook dropping him, it couldn’t be an on-field issue!.
I have him in my side and he will stay in my 17, match up dependant, he did cop a low score once, but he has been phenomenally consistent with some big scores.

Young I prefer, but he should be in the Origin team. I want a look at the Dragons this week, but I do think Bird is a good option. Leuele the other
Better long term H2H player to trade in this week
TU Nikora
TD Hopgood
With Eels signing Joe O he may impact minutes for Hopgood going forward so head to head i would prefer Nikora
Any chance of Jack Johns getting a run in Rd 13 during SoO? I see he’s named in 18 but not sure of the pecking order at the Knights.
Tossing up whether to punt him or Hosking this week.
Last reserve..?
Bula
Croker(raiders)
Turuva
Tossing up between two options.
TU: Harrison edwards, billy smith
TD: Luki, Billy smith
Other forwards are
Welch, Tapine, keppie, bunty
Dfifita, Nikora, Hosking, peachy, schuster
Ofc edwards would give a bit of a cash injection. Or is there an alternative to luki that gives cover?
Also, thinking warbrick > smith or turuva?
By any chance does anyone have Catfish’s email address for Supercoach purposes? Cheers!
easiest way is to contact him via twitter
@CatfishSC
Probably have toDM him on twitter. Catfishsc I think his handle is
Joe O moving makes Bateman very interesting. He’s been looking ominous recently and may get more middle minutes from here
