Who goes for Gilbert?
TU: Welch
TD: EButcher

Santa Claus

TD, but i think this poll should be tighter than it is

broncobob

I have heard a couple people in the Supercoach world say that the game is scoring try assists differently this year, is this true? If so, can someone please explain how they are scoring it differently?

D8

No, no its still unpredictable, we’re still seeing inconsistencies in the scoring

Karma Keg

In Rd1, a few centres were getting the try assist rather than the HB. So guys like Cleary were impacted and only got the 4 points for a try contribution rather than points for the try assist and line-break assist.

D8

We’ve seen centres awarded for bat on’s and on other occasions where a centre did a bat on it went to someone else, cant pick it, it seems they make it up as they go

dzrey

TU – Walsh
TD – Garrick

zooperdooper32

Why are people going garrick just curious for myself wanting one of the two

trentmark

Manly look great in attack, scoring points, he is kicking goals. Plus Turbo

BustedCashews

Plus, he’s got a beast work rate

Saint and sinner

Garrick, but hard to compare as walsh is so much cheaper and the spare cash could let you upgrade someone like welch to haas for example. Hass and walsh over garrick and welch in my opinion as a hypothetical

TD
Cotter>Tohu (to save trades and $20k short of Haas)

Cheers

Santa Claus

I voted TD. I think Turuva is a must have though

Have you considered To’o down to Turuva this week?

Would give you a huge bank to do a big upgrade next week, e.g. BMM to Haas or Hammer to Garrick

Could even use that extra cash this week with a boost

hedgehogrox

Thanks mate don’t mind this, not too sold on To’o

I’ll go Cotter>Haas and To’o> Turuva

Can do Teddy>Garrick Saturday if H2H looks like it needs it otherwise save it for next week

jimbojones

Trading Douhei out. Turf toe is no joke. It absolutely robs the athlete of explosion. And Tigers aren’t looking great anyway.

Trade for:
TU: Munster
TD: Dylbags

liverpoolbronco

Depends on how many Storm players and how much cash you have. I have gone Dylbags because I already own 4 storm players plus I would have to boost and go a week early on Schuster to afford Munster.

Turf toe? What’s that?

mitchell_smith99

Hey lads,

Been flat out at work this week and haven’t had a chance to look at my trades. I’m not keen on moving teddy to Walsh, but outside of that I’m not sure what to do. I need to get rid of talau and was thinking thinking maybe lemelulu. Let me know your thoughts?

Grant, Mahoney
Haas, Welch, stef, BMM
Murray, Teig, Hopgood, nat butch, ford, Preston
Cleary, Boyd
Douhei, katoa
Val, hammer, alo, turuva, warbrick, talau, AKP
Teddy, Turbo

Have 60k in the bank and didn’t trade 1st round but trade boosted last week. Cheers.

Trade-a-holic

Talau to Sloan?

mitchell_smith99

I was thinking this, but I see myself getting stuck with sloan especially with the other ctws peaking in the next few weeks. What’s everyone’s thoughts on lemelulu

BringBackTheBear24

Hey Lads,

Big week coming up for all of us. Here is my team currently, the only trade I am looking at currently is Teddy – Walsh. Any recommendations for any other moves?

Grant, Mahoney
Welch, Uto, BMM, Pele
Murray, Carrigan, Hopgood, Wilton, Garner, Preston
Cleary, Boyd
Douhei, katoa
Val, Kiraz, alo, turuva, warbrick, talau, AKP
Teddy, Turbo

Thanks in advance

BustedCashews

I’m not super keen on Walsh. For what that’s worth.

Radb

Base is a bit of a worry and could limit prices if the attack doesn’t come

The Pretender

You have to think it will roll in over the next 4 weeks though surely…

BustedCashews

I was all set to hold trades then Thursday came and my plans go out the window.

Doueihi/Issako >
D.Brown/Turuva

My reasoning is, the $30k or so I make on Issako I’ll probably lose on Doueihi. I don’t see Issako as a keeper and, well, Tigers. Also my final 5/8 will be D.Brown/Munster

TU: Hate it
TD: Do it.

I don’t have any other way to fund D.Brown and I think Turuva will score this week and make money.

Who gets last R
Preston. Welsh. Uto. Turuva
Thanks

BustedCashews

Preston for safety, Turuva against eels for upside

BT

I’m playing Preston and Turuva and sitting out Uto

HC92

Just looking at that Parra bench .. does anyone think HopGod plays full 80? reduced mins last week, against old club and Matterson wont be match-fit. Anyone thinking VC or even possible C? am getting this gut feel that Parra pull off the upset and hopgood goes off.

bulldogs808

Its been suggested and I tend to agree that Matto may play tight for a period whilst Doorey plays edge?

HC92

I would be suprised if Matterson pulls off 60+ mins tonight. Big game and first of the season with no game fitness. Will be interesting to see.

yearofthebogan

Matto’s been running to training to save money. Fitness should be no concern for that tight ass.

HC92

lmaoooo

trentmark

Always planned on trading Walker Rd4, as I faded Cleary due to price and bye. with Cotter now out I have to think though.
2 options:

TU- Cleary in and hold 2nd trade. (Play Uto and Haas)

TD- Run the gauntlet on an ARey play for a month (and look at Cleary/Hynes after his bye) and get Tapine in for Cotter

Comment – Boost away and Bring in Cleary, Tapine and Shooey early, sack Tanah

dirkules

Grant/hodgo
Haas, dsaf/moale, Pele
Murray, Wilton, e butch/hopgood, preston blore
Cleary/ trindall
Douhei/katoa
Val, kiraz, htf, alamoti/ warbrick, khan, turava
Trell/meaney
242k
Original plan was dsaf, ebutch, warbrick to turbo schuster and Gilbert but only leaves 50k for trades next week while also unnecessarily using boost when no fires to really put out, going early on a cheap cash cow that should make decent coin (especially against tigers with Munster back), and ebutch and schuster won’t change price this week.
Any ideas on where to go from here or am I just over thinking?

Pouit

My 2rf is Carrigan, Murray, Hopgood – E.Katoa, Preston, Butcher. Should I bring in Tohu for Egan or is my money better spent elsewhere/save the trade?

trentmark

Save the trade. Tohu’s value is in the FRF anyway. He isn’t going to hurt you if you don’t have him

The Pretender

Can he get Tohu to FRF though?

trentmark

Not sure, the question was regarding his 2RF, and I think he has a pretty strong list there. Egan does look a trade, he hasn’t lived up to it yet, but he isn’t urgent. Don’t think Tohu is urgent either

Pouit

My FRF is Tapine, Gilbert, Jurbo and Uto 😀

Karma Keg

I’d even consider WIlton for Butcher. He’s been going great and with Nico back he could get some pies.

tainejai99

Pele > Haas or Katoa > Cleary a better trade? Hearing Katoa out this week but either way I’ll bank some cash. Looking at teddy to Walsh other trade

Santa Claus

Pele > Haas is a better upgrade this week.

Katoa > Cleary can wait. Will cost almost 100K less next week

zen

option 1

Murray to Wilton
Dsaifiti to Haas in 2 trades.

or

option 2

Murray to Wilton
Bsmith to Luke
Boyd to Hynes via a boost.

Who is the better hold Bsmith or Boyd.

yearofthebogan

Re Boyd or Brandon Smith. Well both get a bye in the next two weeks so that doesnt split them. Depends what you can do with the cash as both there BEs arent horrible, or attractive. Holding either is kind of PODish as most owners have deserted both them since the start. Brandon Smith is line ball IMO a better hold because Fifita shifting to the left has killed a lot of options for Boyd. If Brandon Smith can rebuild his body over the bye week he has a SC relevant game. But he does get bashed around which can… Read more »

TU:
Cotter, Doueihi, Keppie > Schuster, Haas, Gilbert

TD:
Cotter, Doueihi, Boyd > Schuster, D.Brown, Gilbert

The Pretender

So its:
Keppie > Haas
or
Boyd > Brown

Both viable, I think it depends on team structure. Might be Brown if your 5/8’s end up being Schuster & Katoa.

tigershark

who goes for Preston? Nicholls, Welch, JKing or Twal? Can do all four through some DPPs

The Pretender

I think Nicholls, but its tight.

yearofthebogan

Depends what you can do with the extra $100k ish from getting rid of Twal instead of Nicholls. All of them are meat and potatoes kind of players Welch and King are more relevant in my opinion as the Storm have no real middle players ATM. With Bateman Ipap likely playing 80s, theres essentially 6 players fitting for 240 minutes (assuming the 14 and Koro balance out).

Rabs85

Twal or Nicholls

C On Kahu

Am I crazy for wanting to go Douehi > Mam with my third trade?

Already have schuster as backup and don’t have enough to go to brown or munster.

D8

Done this exact trade because I was a little short to go Doueihi > Munster

The Pretender

If you are using Mam and going Mam > Gun in 4 weeks, then yes.

staggs

Left myself with 300k itb after last week
TU: Butcher, Cotter, Douehi > Munster, Hynes, UTO
TD: Cotter, Butcher > Hynes, 615K FRF

The Pretender

I like any week where you can get Munster and Hynes tbh. I dont think Uto is the answer. Any chance you can go a cheapie and play someone for a week or two?

staggs

frf is quite weak atm, the other three are dsaf, BMM and Pele. Unless im buying Haas or Tohu tho, there isn’t a whole lot of points being scored In the frf, thus im not too fussed with 40-50 ppg from UTO and Dsaf.

The Pretender

Dsaif a chance of not playing with that shoulder i think.

Score to Settle

Gday lads need some help with my side 7k itb
Mahoney Boyd
Tapine Uto Moale Pele
Murray Fifita Wilton Niukore Hopgood Preston
Cleary Katoa
Doueihi dud
Holmes Meaney Kiraz Turuva Alamoti Warbrick AKP
Trell Turbo
My original plan is to go boyd to luke and niukore to katoa but I want to get rid of this nuff in my 5/8 so do I use a boost to get a wakeham or pezet for at least a cash rise out of them to move them on to a maybe hughes or hynes later down
cheers

The Pretender

Can you go Boyd > Luke and NPR > Schuster?

Score to Settle

I can but I want to upgrade meaney to garrick next week in 2 moves and I am just trying to find the best way to do that with this. The plan is to drop katoa to schuster hearing he is not 100 percent
