Thanks for the advice @7/11
Out:C Smith, S Burgess, J Stimson, Z Lomax, P Carrigan and J Kerr
In: J Friend, S Lane, A Tolman, M Ravalawa, J Host and T Kamikamica with 33,600 of remaining salary.
Really looking forward to this competition and hopefully will increase my interest in the sport and I'll try to watch a game or 2 per round.

Plenty of space and plenty of novice players. Don't be afraid because most of us are winging it and don't know how you get 5/8 ths of a hooker and get half back. 
You want to be front row for this!

SCS 02 League code is 303085 and a link provided in Post 125 by @KLo30 with 17 spots still to fill.
https://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/nrl/classic/#/?action=join-league&code=303085
Thought I'd issue out a reminder to members that have either posted or liked in this forum or some of the regulars from NBA, NFL or the Big Bash if they would be interested in joining to fill the league. Most of us are heading in with little to no prior knowledge or experience regrading the format/game but with the amount of resources available it should be easy to complete a team by kickoff Thursday night.

Interchange: 14. John Asiata 15. Josh McGuire 16. Mitchell Dunn 17 Francis Molo
Reserves: 18 Ben Hampton, 19 Jake Clifford, 20 Gideon Gela-Mosby, 23 Enari Tuala
SuperCoach news: Tom Opacic has scored a centre spot ahead of Ben Hampton and he therefore surges into cheapie contention.
The Jason Taumalolo edge experiment seems over - Lolo has been named at lock with recruit Josh McGuire off the bench. New signing Jordan Kahu starts at fullback. Kyle Feldt (groin) is out.
Dragons: 1. Gareth Widdop 2. Jordan Pereira 3. Euan Aitken 4. Tim Lafai 5. Mikaele Ravalawa 6. Corey Norman 7. Ben Hunt 8. James Graham 9. Cameron McInnes 10. Paul Vaughan 11. Jacob Host 12. Tariq Sims 13. Tyson Frizell

SuperCoach news: Mikaele Ravalawa is now the talk of SuperCoach after being named on the wing ahead of Zac Lomax, who was formerly the most popular player. Jacob Host starts in the back row with Tyson Frizell shifting to lock in place of Jack de Belin.
PANTHERS VS EELS
Sunday, March 17th, 4:05pm at Panthers Stadium
Panthers: 1. Dylan Edwards , 2. Josh Mansour , 3. Dean Whare, 4. Waqa Blake, 5. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak , 6. James Maloney , 7. Nathan Cleary , 8. James Tamou , 9. Sione Katoa, 10. Reagan Campbell-Gillard, 11. Jack Hetherington, 12. Isaah Yeo, 13. James Fisher-Harris Interchange: 14. Wayde Egan, 15. Tyrell Fuimaono, 16. Moses Leota, 17. Hame Sele
Reserves: 18. Jarome Luai, 19. Tim Grant, 20. Liam Martin, 21. Malakai Watene-Zelezniak.
SuperCoach news: Jack Hetherington scores the edge back row spot of Viliame Kikau (knee). Dylan Edwards has won the race for the fullback spot with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak to play on the wing. Wayde Egan scores a bench spot ahead of Jarome Luai.
Eels: 1. Clinton Gutherson (c), 2. Maika Sivo, 3. Michael Jennings, 4. Brad Takairangi, 5. Blake Ferguson, 6. Dylan Brown, 7. Mitch Moses, 8. Daniel Alvaro, 9. Reed Mahoney, 10. Tepai Moeroa, 11. Shaun Lane, 12. Marata Niukore, 13. Nathan Brown
Interchange: 14. Will Smith, 15. Tim Mannah (c), 16. Kane Evans, 17. David Gower
Reserves: 18. Josh Hoffman, 19. Oregon Kaufusi, 20. Bevan French, 21. Junior Paulo
SuperCoach news: Cheapie Maika Sivo gets a start for the Eels and should be safe despite the imminent return of Jaeman Salmon. Salmon has been training at centre so will likely push Brad Takairangi to the bench and Kane Evans or David Gower out of the side. It is Sivo’s position to lose with Bevan French lurking in the No.20 jersey.
TITANS VS RAIDERS
Sunday, March 17th, 6:00pm at Cbus Super Stadium
Titans: 1. Michael Gordon 2. Brenko Lee 3. Tyrone Peachey 4. Brian Kelly 5. Phillip Sami 6. Tyrone Roberts 7. Ashley Taylor 8. Jarrod Wallace 9. Nathan Peats 10. Shannon Boyd 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Ryan James 13. Jai Arrow.
Interchange: 14. Alexander Brimson 15. Moeaki Fotuaika 16. Max King Bryce Cartwright 17. Bryce Cartwright
Reserves: 18. Mitch Rein 19. Dale Copley 20. Anthony Don 21: Keegan Hipgrave
SuperCoach news: Bryce Cartwright has been benched by Garth Brennan meaning and SuperCoach entertaining thoughts of the ex-Panther as a cheapie should reconsider now. Moeaki Fotuaika just needs his minutes to go up to become a SuperCoach relevant player but will start in the No. 15 jersey. Jai Arrow at lock is great news for owners of the gun.
Raiders: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Nick Cotric 3. Jarrod Croker (c) 4. Joey Leilua 5. Bailey Simonsson 6. Jack Wighton 7. Aiden Sezer 8. Josh Papalii 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Sia Soliola 11. Joseph Tapine 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. John Bateman
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Ryan Sutton 16. Dunamis Lui 17. Corey Horsburgh
Reserves: 18. Sam Williams 19. Jack Murchie 20. Luke Bateman 21. JJ Collins
SuperCoach news: We didn’t see English import John Bateman during the trials but Ricky Stuart has started him at lock as hoped. At $400k and dual CTW/2RF he is the ultimate mid-ranger. Borderline cheapie Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has retained the fullback spot he played during trials, with Jack Wighton partnering Aidan Sezer in the halves. Youngster Bailey Simonsson scores a wing spot, but appears a place holder at this stage for Michael Oldfield (groin)
Saturday, March 16th, 7:30pm at 1300SMILES Stadium
Cowboys: 1. Jordan Kahu 2. Javid Bowen 3. Justin O’Neill 4. Tom Opacic 5. Nene Macdonald 6. Te Maire Martin 7. Michael Morgan 8. Matt Scott 9. Jake Granville 10. Jordan McLean 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Coen Hess 13. Jason Taumalolo

SuperCoach news: Jack Hetherington scores the edge back row spot of Viliame Kikau (knee). Dylan Edwards has won the race for the fullback spot with Dallin Watene-Zelezniak to play on the wing. Wayde Egan scores a bench spot ahead of Jarome Luai.
Eels: 1. Clinton Gutherson (c), 2. Maika Sivo, 3. Michael Jennings, 4. Brad Takairangi, 5. Blake Ferguson, 6. Dylan Brown, 7. Mitch Moses, 8. Daniel Alvaro, 9. Reed Mahoney, 10. Tepai Moeroa, 11. Shaun Lane, 12. Marata Niukore, 13. Nathan Brown
Interchange: 14. Will Smith, 15. Tim Mannah (c), 16. Kane Evans, 17. David Gower
Reserves: 18. Josh Hoffman, 19. Oregon Kaufusi, 20. Bevan French, 21. Junior Paulo
SuperCoach news: Cheapie Maika Sivo gets a start for the Eels and should be safe despite the imminent return of Jaeman Salmon. Salmon has been training at centre so will likely push Brad Takairangi to the bench and Kane Evans or David Gower out of the side. It is Sivo’s position to lose with Bevan French lurking in the No.20 jersey.
TITANS VS RAIDERS
Sunday, March 17th, 6:00pm at Cbus Super Stadium
Titans: 1. Michael Gordon 2. Brenko Lee 3. Tyrone Peachey 4. Brian Kelly 5. Phillip Sami 6. Tyrone Roberts 7. Ashley Taylor 8. Jarrod Wallace 9. Nathan Peats 10. Shannon Boyd 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Ryan James 13. Jai Arrow.
Interchange: 14. Alexander Brimson 15. Moeaki Fotuaika 16. Max King Bryce Cartwright 17. Bryce Cartwright
Reserves: 18. Mitch Rein 19. Dale Copley 20. Anthony Don 21: Keegan Hipgrave
SuperCoach news: Bryce Cartwright has been benched by Garth Brennan meaning and SuperCoach entertaining thoughts of the ex-Panther as a cheapie should reconsider now. Moeaki Fotuaika just needs his minutes to go up to become a SuperCoach relevant player but will start in the No. 15 jersey. Jai Arrow at lock is great news for owners of the gun.
Raiders: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad 2. Nick Cotric 3. Jarrod Croker (c) 4. Joey Leilua 5. Bailey Simonsson 6. Jack Wighton 7. Aiden Sezer 8. Josh Papalii 9. Josh Hodgson 10. Sia Soliola 11. Joseph Tapine 12. Elliott Whitehead 13. John Bateman
Interchange: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Ryan Sutton 16. Dunamis Lui 17. Corey Horsburgh
Reserves: 18. Sam Williams 19. Jack Murchie 20. Luke Bateman 21. JJ Collins
SuperCoach news: We didn’t see English import John Bateman during the trials but Ricky Stuart has started him at lock as hoped. At $400k and dual CTW/2RF he is the ultimate mid-ranger. Borderline cheapie Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has retained the fullback spot he played during trials, with Jack Wighton partnering Aidan Sezer in the halves. Youngster Bailey Simonsson scores a wing spot, but appears a place holder at this stage for Michael Oldfield (groin)
Plenty of space and plenty of novice players. Don't be afraid because most of us are winging it and don't know how you get 5/8 ths of a hooker and get half back. You want to be front row for this!

Will post my team tomorrow when I’ve digested the teamlists a bit more.
What is the vice captain loophole?
The vice captain loophole is a tactic that experienced coaches use to give themselves two chances at nailing that crucial captaincy call. There are some caveats, though. Firstly, it’s most viable over the bye period, or any week where you don’t have at least an 18 man squad available for selection, as the risk of a bad auto-emergency score is removed or greatly reduced during this week. Secondly, statistically it is much more successful over the middle to end of season period, as scores are more consistently larger the longer the season goes on, and it’s easier to pull off this trick without a bad auto-emergency lurking in the wings.
Okay, then. How do I do the vice captain loophole?
There are a couple of things to take into account. First, your vice captain option needs to play earlier on in the weekend than your captain option. It sounds simple, but it’s a common mistake to try to play them in the wrong order. Ideally there would be at least one day between their games to allow for any scoring corrections, or updates, to be made as well, to allow you to make a better decision with more information available. Now to the actual mechanics of it. First, you select someone who you think could potentially score a much higher than average score, whether it’s due to the opposition they’re playing, their own form, or other reasons. You choose them to be your vice captain, and then you let the game go on. Most likely they probably won’t score one of those outrageously good scores that you’re hoping for, and you just go ahead and leave the captaincy option on your regular pick. However, if they do score very well – and this is generally considered to be in excess of 130 to be a viable option, otherwise the points differential is more likely to not be in your favour – then with the vice captain settled, you remove the captaincy from your choice and you put it on someone who definitely isn’t playing first grade that weekend. Let me repeat that – they absolutely must not be available, let alone being only extremely unlikely to play, because strange things happen when you try to do the VC loop and you probably will be screwed if you leave it up to chance. Who you take out of your side to allow this to happen is up to you, and is a matter of your own judgement of who is likely to score the least and that you have a player available in that position later in the round that you can swap them with. Just to demonstrate with an example, Shaun Johnson is your vice captain and he scores 155. Paul Gallen was to be your captain, but he’s likely to play less minutes with Origin looming, and so you’re keen to do the swap. You remove the captaincy from Gallen and, looking at your CTW, see Brett Morris is suspended this week and is not playing, so you replace you’re 4th CTW, Sione Mata’utia with Morris and make him captain, leaving Gallen still in the side to gain you points, and Shaun Johnson’s score to double at the conclusion of the Bulldogs’ game later that weekend.
It all sounds really easy, right? …right.
