Is McInnes to Jazz worth it or too sideways?
Im looking at getting rid of McInnes to…His just not scoring like he was.
Very
Before last game 3RA of 64 isn’t the worst to be fair .
Very worth it or very sideways?
who to drop? Sivo or Mansour
Mansour lower ceiling higher floor, has a ball hog in side him so attacking stats are harder to come by.
Sivo lower floor higher ceiling, obviously can go massive when they go his way
other 2 centres are Nofo, Yeo and Crichton.
my head says drop Sivo but it looks odd having 3 Panthers in the backs…
Definitely Sivo, how a big winger like him doesn’t have at least 15 hit ups a game is beyond me. I guarantee mansour won’t score you 7 in 80 minutes of action
Any news on Best? Trying to decide if its him or Mansour that goes this week
I believe he is seeing a specialist today to talk over his scan results.
Def best. I read this morning 6-8 weeks.
Just got a whisper, he’s gone for an extended break
So after Lomaxs frustrating low score, and Best potentially being out to injury, which is more of a keeper?
I’m not a lomax owner. But he has only scored under 50 3 times this year. The weekend being his lowest score.. he has scored above 50 every game since round 5 bar last weekend.
I wouldn’t say he’s a sell from 1 bad game, far from it. He’s more consistent than any other CTW bar nofo. Dragons have a tough couple of match ups coming up but then there draw opens up a bit
He had a shocker on the weekend in real life, something like -17 between errors, tackles etc (add on the fact he wouldve scored point from some of those plays and he was looking at 50+). He just had a really bad game and I dont think its a big issue. Dragons draw is tough, but Lomax has almost been matchup proof – Roosters 71, Raiders 76, Manly 99, Sharks 123 all in the last 6 games. I dont see him scoring like that in every single game, but I can see him being the type to have some scores… Read more »
NRL Physio saying possible 6-10 weeks for Best. Looks like a sell. Is Best -> Staggs the best move?
Do you already have Mann?
Nope, had him to start the season and sold him for Best (not one of my finest moves), would have to free up cash to bring him back in
With 540k for a CTW I think staggs is looking pretty good. Mann is out of my reach unfortunately
Hey guys, sitting round the 18k mark with baby moves up each week so far lol. Just after abit of advice for this week Team is: $6.1k ITB CS9, Grant(R) Haas, Carrigan, Rudolf, gilbert Matterson, LoLo, Mcinnis, Yeo(R), Katoa, Fermor Cleary, BWalters SJ, Luai(R) Lomax, SCrighton, Best, Waqa Blake, Coates, williame, ASI Teddy, Ponga (R) Thinking of either bringing in Munster or Nofo this week, Munster abit tempting due to dogs plus just a weapon lol, Kurt Mann is tempting now too as he’ll prob play 80 at hooker TU: Best>Nofo, Katoa>Davey, also leaves me with $83k itb TD: Walters>Munster,… Read more »
I wouldn’t be bringing Davey in. He won’t make much more cash and will be a sell soon.
Katoa has a – BE and is about to make good cash if he keeps his scoring up. He’s a play in my team atm.
Can you do best and Blake or best and Coates for nofo? Move yeo down to CTW and bring a nuff in to you 2RF
Or get Kurt Mann if nofo is out of reach. Pending the knights bench
Thanks for the advice mate I’ll have a look into trying to get nofo, but I think I would need to free up some significant cash to be able to get him, so Kurt Mann might be on the cards
Any love for the Super POD, 0.2% owned Brian Kelly?
Dropped 77k from his starting price, 3RA of 58 and a BE of 30.
Only one score <40 since the resumption in R3. Last 3 weeks had scores of 47 v Storm, 57 v Panthers and just hit 71 v Roosters even with 10min in the bin (no try either).
Run home looks pretty decent.
Ive looked at him, got very decent base as well. Looking at Kelly, Staggs, Latrell, Johnston (for 2-3 weeks with aim of flipping to more of a keeper). Not sure who I like most. Kelly a pod, Staggs with GK, and the souths boys have a decent run over next 3 weeks.
Staggs with GK’ing is definitely a gun.
That said he wasn’t striking them too well on the weekend and missed kicks cost the Broncos dearly. I wonder how long he keeps those duties with Herbie an alternative option.
Are any Titans players SC relevant…? nope
theyre in form definitely a look
Yep, I’m bringing him in for Best this week. Hope he bags a try v Cows
Just a thought if you look at the roosters results from last year they went flat for a 4 week period then round 17-25 got on a roll. 8 weeks out from the semis this year now i think they are about to go bang. Different side this year (no cronk) but i think there training programs with loading up players will be similar.
BTW do others think they have looked really flat and heavy the last 4 weeks?
They look like a team with alot of injuries and the new guys finding their positions.
If u can take out their sweeping plays you can win
Agreed KK. Have looked flat but think this is the slump prior to the run home. Based on their next month I think they will be looking to make a statement especially against the lower ranked teams
Defs cant say I’m happy with there last 2 games . One thing is the roosters can time there run home better then anyone . Injuries don’t help but you can use that excuse forever need to find a way to make it work .
Hearing on here people saying smith will only be out for a week tops ? Can’t see storm risking there best player even if they play the roosters and Eels back to back.
Is staggs really a buy? playing for a shite club and up against the storm this week
Scored 120 this week, so should expect some pretty good price rises over the next 2 rounds. So if you’re planning to buy, now as good a time as any.
Broncos are playing bunnies this week. The broncs have players back now so they should be stepping it up. Wouldn’t be surprised if they win this w/e
Bronco’s couldnt hold an 8 point lead over the cronulla reserve grade side with 9 minutes to go. Bunnies in a canter
Well people were happy trading in Lomax at a higher cost and staggs is a much better player who plays exact same possie and also kicks goals.
Who do we feel is the best sub-600k 2RF?
TU: Jurbo
TD: Jazz
Comment: Murray or other?
I’ve been keeping an eye on Kbrom. He’s look involved. Playing off Munster is always a good thing. Without Smith may see more upside
I think Jurbo and Jazz are priced at their output. I’d look at someone in the bracket that could/should be above 600K. So my pick would be Murray, TPJ and McInnee.
Would you trade out best and HTF to give yourself 630k for a CTW but have lemuelu as your 5th CTW?
OR.. would you trade our best and g.will to bring in Munster and play HTF as your 4th CTW…
Oh the options…haha
Im in the same boat…so many options only 2 trades
I’ve just done Best/HTF Trade for Nofo and Nuff
This is what I’m leaning towards tiggies
Seen some names thrown around for CTW. Whats the thoughts/rankings for Kelly, Staggs, Feldt, Scott and Jennings?
Prob that order
Damn, no love for Jennings? And more love than I thought for Kelly
I’m with Perrin, I would put them in that order too.
Can Feldt return to early season form? His scores were pretty consistent and that was without GK duties
He is a bargin at the moment
What are s crichton owners doing? He’s heavily dependent on attacking stats which surely have to dry up at some point. He’s also about to start dropping cash. Having said hes just as likely to keep the scoring going in an in form panthers side
Hang tight and re-assess after the Warriors game next week.
At this point he’s looking like a 5th ctw for the run home. No need to cash out or worry about money when he’s a gun.
5th? Top 4 Id of thought
I’m holding. Panthers draw is very good
Think after all that I’ll hold on to CS9. Are these the right trades for me this week?
HTF >> Nofo
Best >> Nuff
Anyone got any good Nuff suggestions?
CS9/Grant
Haas Carrigan / Ale Guler
Lolo JFH Lucy / Katoa Fermor Saulo
Cleary / Walters
Flanno / Luai
Yeo Mansour Mann Best / Talau HTF Williame
Teddy / Ponga
Ravutauma from warriors CTW/FLB duel
Or Bturbo CTW/2RF duel
Daine Laurie dual frf/ctw. May be handy dual with carrigan in your side
I agree with the CS9 hold. You will only need to bring him back. My only worry is I have the same HOK combo as you and I have seen on Trade Talk here that Grant may be carrying an injury and could be a late out.
Is Ponga a buy for those without him? Must admit I am thrown by the Blake Green news and am nervous about what it means for Ponga’s SC output.
Just judging by what Green’s style of play is and assuming he slots into Ponga’s favored left side AND without Best, is wait-and-see tactic the way to go here?
Hopefully he gives Ponga more ball, like he has done for RTS. question who is comin in for Green (warriors)
Anyone interested in CHT with the departure of Green? My current halves are Cleary, Johnson, Williams & Averillo.
TU Trade in & move Averillo to centres
TD Nuff the position for someone like Gamble or Lamb
A naughty video of staggs has surfaced.
Source?
In one of them SuperCoach Facebook groups.
Its already doing the rounds just saw it. Won’t take long – hes not in the wrong really doesnt show much (its from the females perspective so not even her face).
Chris Garry reporting he’ll be cleared and police are investigating the girl for revenge porn.
Is it actually him or ?
Milf gone (at least for this week)… via Pete Badel
EDIT: Broncs are saying grade 2 hammy
A month without my favourite milf 🙁
Anyone else keeping CS9. I’ll only end up buying him again in a couple of weeks if I sell now
I’m selling but i don’t have grant as my backup. AC joint injuries aren’t the best. If he is back in 2 weeks youre looking at a couple of more weeks for him to get back to full strength etc. I cant have $720K sitting on the bench but those who can play Grant can probably afford to keep him.
Always keep a keeper unless he’s being kept out out by long term injury. He could even be back next week.
I’m thinking hold too. Using NRL Physio’s first post that if it’s low grade it can just be a pain tolerance thing. Not saying it is but if that is the case I think he will be back sooner than later.
