Hi Rowsus
I promise this will be my last question pre-season
I am playing two set and forget ruckman (x fingers) and a F/R at R3 (currently my choice is Read), but after analyzing the first 10 rounds (please see below) I am seriously considering Frampton as rounds 6-8 with Read give me no loophole!!!
I think I am better off targeting a genuine ruckman upgrade midseason at R3 as a backup and ignoring the R/F combo, as only Lycett and potentially Bellchambers or Lycett jump out at me as options at R3.
Whats your thoughts?

I think that's a good piece of work. If I was picking an R3 for the purpose of nothing other than using in the Captain's loophole, I would probably favour Frampton over Read. I think we'll find enough non-playing members of our team to use as a loophole tools without picking one specifically for it. I've very rarely had all 30 players playing in Round 3 in a season, let alone beyond. For that reason, I am putting O'Brien in at R3, in case something happen to Sauce, or they just want to give Sauce a break.
Thanks for clearing that up Bont. It would be interesting to know the team and opponent in those 3 games, though with not much work, we can work the teams out. As you say, it is a small sample, and as I said, he's been around for a while now, tags are nothing new, and his record speaks for itself.
Two of the greatest sins in SC - trying to find a reason why a proven poor scorer will now score well, and reasons as to why a proven good scorer, will score poorly. Most of the time it leads to tears, and you very rarely get either right!

Hey Rowsus
I think if someone was to go back through all your posts over the last couple of weeks it would pretty much reveal most of your team. At the end of the day we should all pick our own teams partly based on the great tips from Rowsus and KLo30. It just wouldn't be fun otherwise. I'll be going 0.4.4 in defence if four rookies are likely starters. Mini guns & rookies.

yeah, now that Bugg is out of the bag, they could nearly nail it. But that's ok. I still have a couple of picks that will currently have low %'s of ownership, and to be honest, I can't see too many jumping on the Bugg type selections, just because I have him.
If it's a mini G'n'R Def line, do you mean 4-0-4, rather than 0-4-4. 0-4-4 would be 4 Midpricers and 4 Rookies. Of course it is all open interpretation anyway. Some people count Newnes as a Keeper, some count him as a Midpricer, and nobodies right or wrong about it. It's all up to the individual.
That is four b/w 400,000 & 500,000 and four sub 150.
The problem I find with selecting a team a this stage is that you can become over committed to a lot of players in your side. Probably better to have priority lists for each line and then make a solid selection when we can actually see the REAL teams. I've never played supercoach before but rookie selection is obviously make or break.

Hi Rowsus,
In post #3567 you said 'Gibson or Burgoyne look to be the only ones that have SC relevance (I exclude Hodge, as he gets managed and red vested every season), but even their inconsistency scares me.'
Any reason why you don't think Suckling is relevant? Averaged 77 last year coming off his year off, 83 and 91 the previous two seasons.
Thanks!

Hi Rowsus
Interested to know if players generally perform better in a wing role or half-back flank role. It appears KK and Adcock will be moving from hbf to the wing this season and would like to know if recent history suggests it will actually result in an increase in supercoach scoring.
Any help or info you can offer at this late stage of the preseason would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Tom

Hey again Rowsus,
I want your thoughts on this. Teams not starting Ablett may be able to start a six premo mid, for example: Pendles, Fyfe, Selwood, Parker, Dangerfield and Griffen. But if they want to get Ablett when his price drops, they might need to swap Parker to a stepping stone like Jack Steven. Do you think that teams without Ablett that are looking to get him cheaper must have a plan in place, or do you think things could work out alright without a stepping-stone player?
Thanks,
BomberSam.

Hey Rowsus, so far I have Goldy locked in my rucks,
Really wanted to know your opinion of having Sam Jacobs this year. I believe he has the highest % of taps going to advantage in the league and with the new rules is he really going to be worth the 620k to get him?
I'm tempted to start Nic Nat as a cheaper option, but who knows what kind of scores we will get with him and he may break down, who knows.
Atleast with having Jacobs I'll be able to have 2 ruckman locked for the year assuming they don't get injured.
Also, not many people are starting Jacobs so I think he could well be worth the risk. Cheers

Lobbe - I like the way he gets involved, and lays lots of tackles. 20 games at 103
Pyke - hit his level, no further improvement left. 19 games at 82
Smith - predicting he might start ok, and drop off. Maybe 17 games at 84, but a low 90's ave early on.
Giles - too hard to predict because of ASADA, but I can't see much value in him.

Hi DM,
it might be Suckling's turn this year. It nearly seems they take it in turn to have half decent seasons, but I just have no confidence in him. I know some players can take an extra season to get over something like a knee, but I'm just not confident enough that one season with a SC relevant Keeper average in 5 seasons so far will get repeated. He seems to be a lot higher risk than even Hodge, even though we know Hodge will get managed.

Hi thommus,
yes, a move from H/B to Wing usually means an increase in SC score.
You are closer to more of the action.
The further up the ground you play, the more likely you are to have score involvements, or actually score a goal yourself. SC Gold.
The less likely you are to play a Lock Down role.
I can't see much downside to a move like that.

Hey again BS,
I think they will have a plan, but I don't think you necessarily have to use a Stepping Stone to do it. I also think there will be many that start without Ablett that will still only have 4 or 5 Mid Prems. You don't have to have/use a player that is increasing in value to target Ablett, though it's good if you can. Most teams start with 12+ Keepers, I'm sure some will just sacrifice a poor performing/injured Keeper to get Ablett, rather than thinking they must have a Stepping Stone player.
