Discussion 2024: NRL Supercoach Discussion

X seem to have stopped the pasting of tweet images

Editing the link to include Twitter instead of x should still work.

Has to recoup the funds somehow to get close to the awful return of investment and the permanent ridicule in textbooks to come.

 

[Cheerio]

Koula out, AFB out, Galvin & Walsh in doubt. Scrolling through twitter was a pain. Hopefully they’re good to go on game day🤞. At least we got the AFB news early, Hughes will slot in & ton up in his place 😂.

Benji said Galvin should play, so that’s positive news.

Gone full circle and am back to skipping Talagi in an effort to save trades since I’m down to 21.

Cleary > Brown
Munster > Wishart
495k ITB to go next week to Jacob Gagai to Manu.

Hold trades otherwise as I’m sufficiently covered for round 13. Saves 1 extra trade that I’d burn getting the funds to upgrade Holmes to Manu instead next week.

Cody Walker out - calf strain

Very late switch of Katoa to Kiraz. Will wait another round to assess 2RF.

I VC'd the wrong Winger

Got a bit lucky with Bird going down, but don't you love when trades work out like that

He was my VC as well!

Leave 1 out

Wishart, api, talagi, Iro

 

[Old Boomer]

Leave 1 out

Wishart, api, talagi, Iro

Iro against roosters. Will probs only get High 40s. Others have bigger ceilings. Just a guess of course

 

[Woosie]

Help me!

I think it's time to change these guys.... well, one or two

I'm thinking
Hughes > De Belin
May > Hazelton

Is it even worth it?

FRF and HOK have been pain spots for me

 

[Woosie]

Leave 1 out

Wishart, api, talagi, Iro

out of those 4, I'd prob leave out Api or Iro.

I'm actually playing both. I don't have Wishart or Talagi - fading both

 

[Cheerio]

Leave 1 out

Wishart, api, talagi, Iro

Talagi & Api for sure, Wishart with a better matchup than Iro. Probably sit Iro

Not worth it. FRF position doesn't have enough upside to be wasting trades there. Hughes is a good number to help through r13 and r14, AFB should be back soon and May will probably get a greater role during the origin period with Collins playing SOO. Positions to target this year with all the injuries would be FLB > CTW > 2RF > HFB > 5/8 > HKR > FRF in that order. Just had a look through the FRF options and it ain't great, pretty crazy that May only averages 1 point less than De Belin and 3 points less than Hazelton. Is that enough to justify a trade? It's up to you Woosie

Thanks! Good info - a couple of times it was looking good (rd9) with May scoring 120

Thanks for the Iro discussion. Hadn’t given much thought and had placed the R on him over Api. Now Api is the last reserve and the AE for taking the Kiraz VC will come from one of Willison, Pahulu, Lane, Trbojevic, Galvin, Strange and Iro. Very interested to see who I end up with.

 

[Lion4life]

What a great start to the round

Lomax binned
Holmes binned
Cotter Likely HIAed

Gets binned and comes back to score 140, gotta love it.😂

Very late switch of Katoa to Kiraz. Will wait another round to assess 2RF.

+75 for Kiraz

8/806
Played: J Kiraz (C), M Burton, J Curran, J Nanai, S Drinkwater, R Garrick, A Koroisau and B Trbojevic (AE)
Yet to play: A Crichton, D Young, T May, N Hynes, R Mulitalo, D Brown, B Talagi, R Walsh and J Ford

Brilliant start and a great foundation for a rankings climb. Expecting that AE to start trending downwards from Galvin to Trbojevic to eventually a thirty odd score.
