Food for thought! Thank you and will have a look.. you obviously don't believe Grant is a must have? I simply saw 200-300k easy money with potentially minimal points lost.

As you have seen rookie coach here, cost myself plenty of points not realizing reserves counted!
Yes Best and Capewell this week.

Undecided myself on Grant as I currently have Brailey at the 2nd HOK position and the lower scores from he (Brailey) and Drinkwater means I cannot bring in either Cleary to replace Drinkwater or Haas to replace A Fifita.

As for your side, I'd look to upgrade the CTW (as mentioned by grabbing Best) as it seems to be the weakest part of your 17. K Capewell seems like a solid selection and has the bonus of dpp allowing to be switched with Yeo at a latter stage. L Mitchell could be another to keep an eye on with the Titans, Warriors, Panthers and Bulldogs as opponents over the next month.

Grant/Smith could be reassessed next week as there still should be a difference of $350,000 allowing a top line premium to come in (eg Matterson, etc) or to jump on some players with low breakevens to get rid of the deadweight.

This is a good site to get information and advice. They'll have a buy, hold, sell article tomorrow, which is always a good read.

WINNERS
Bradman Best - Smashed his incredible 100 in Round 3 with a 123 point effort against a harder matchup of the Canberra Raiders. The beast is a must have for KFC SuperCoaches especially as he works on that left edge-combination with Kalyn Ponga.
Kalyn Ponga - Sticking with Newcastle Guns, and Ponga had an absolute monster game scoring a lazy 159 points which could have been even better had he not left the field with a HIA. He does have the Storm in Round 5 so if he can score well against them I think we can truly declare Ponga as match-up proof.
Harry Grant - Next up on the must haves list is Harry Grant who scored 72 points without a try in round 4 and actually saw a slight bump in his minutes.
James Tedesco - Was named to play in round 5 after missing last week under the NRL’s biosecurity rules. The Roosters are on fire at the moment and have a juicy matchup with the Bulldogs this week who gave up 152 points to Tommy Tubro in round 3.
Nathan Cleary - Cleary is back from his 2 game suspension and he is now a POD at just 8.6% ownership. If you have the trades he could be a player to bring in, but the Panthers do have some tough matchups coming up against the Eels and Storm.
Cody Walker- Like Clearly, Cody Walker is also back from suspension and he has the Gold Coast Titans this week and the Warriors in Round 7. The Bunnies have really missed him and need him to stand up and spark their attack, and did I mention he is at just 2.4% ownership?
Kurt Capewell- Played the entire game in the backrow, scoring 58 points in pure base against the Warriors. He and Isaah Yeo look to have locked down their spots in the backrow and both have the CTW dual eligibility.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow - It’s Hammer Time! The Cowboys have named the most exciting youngster in rugby league to make his NRL debut against the Warriors and after impressing in the Nines, expect big things from him.
Reece Robson - Has won the starting hooking role at the Cowboys and has been impressive with some explosive speed out of dummy half. Could be a player to keep an eye on.

LOSERS
Thomas Flegler and Jamil Hopoate - The Broncos cheapies have been benched and dropped respectively after a reshuffle with the team desperate to turn their recent form around.
Billy Walters - Walters has lost his starting spot to Harry Grant and was not named to play this week. He has made some decent cash but it’s time for him to go.
Blayke Brailey - Brailey saw his minutes drop last week and is no longer locked in for 80 minutes a game and really needs the big game time for decent points.
Will Kennedy - Has lost the starting fullback spot at the Sharks with Matt Moylan returning to the No.1 jersey, and Chad Townsend returning to the halves.
Matt Burton - The return of Cleary means he has lost his spot at the team and has been benched. With a breakeven of -71 he is worth keeping an eye on, but bench backs aren’t usually SuperCoach relevant.
Anthony Milford - The milf is in horrible form at the moment with scores of 16 and 14 in his last two games and simply has to go if you own him.
Jason Taumalolo - Was only named in the reserves for Round 5 due to the bone bruising that ruled him out last week. He is still a chance to play this week but don’t count on him if you have others you can play.
Brayden Williame- Has not been named after picking up an injury against the Bulldogs and is another player you need to move on.
Ben Hampton - Likewise Ben Hampton was also not named for the Cowboys and was a popular cheapie option, but has been dropped.

Reserves: 18. Benji Marshall, 19. Luke Garner, 20. Billy Walters, 21. Corey Thompson

SuperCoach news: Benji Marshall axed – Madge Maguire may want to leak less points but he’s surely going to score less too without Benji weaving his magic! Well editorializing aside, Marshall is in the reserves and Josh Reynolds will partner Luke Brooks in the halves. SC star Harry Grant looks set for 80 minutes with Billy Walters dropped to the reserves as Maguire beefs up his bench big time. Zane Musgrove comes in to start pushing Thomas Mikaele to the bench. Russell Packer wins his first start of the season from the bench. Chris Lawrence moves from bench to starting on an edge with Luke Garner in the reserves. Michael Chee-Kam gets his first game since the shutdown from the bench and Tommy Talau replaces Rob Jennings on the wing.

Reserves: 18. Sitili Tupouniua, 19. Mitchell Aubusson, 20. Ryan Hall, 21. Lachlan Lam
SuperCoach news: Star fullback James Tedesco returns for the Roosters which sees Brett Morris slide back to the wing at the expense of Ryan Hall (reserves). Mitch Aubusson is back – but not quite – named in the reserves which is a big KFC SuperCoach NRL win for Angus Crichton.

SHARKS VS DRAGONS
Sunday, June 14th, 6:30pm, Campbelltown Stadium
Sharks:
1. Matt Moylan, 2. Sione Katoa, 3. Josh Dugan, 4. Jesse Ramien, 5. Mawene Hiroti, 6. Shaun Johnson, 7. Chad Townsend, 8. Andrew Fifita, 9. Blayke Brailey, 10. Aaron Woods, 11. Briton Nikora, 12. Wade Graham, 13. Jack Williams

Reserves: 18. Siosifa Talaki, 19. William Kennedy, 20. Royce Hunt, 21. Jackson Ferris
SuperCoach news: Some quality cattle back for the Sharks with Andrew Fifita named to start relegating Toby Rudolf to the bench and Chad Townsend returning too. Townsend resumes his role at halfback which sees Matt Moylan revert to fullback and William Kennedy relegates to the reserves. Ronaldo Mulitalo (injured) is out and will be replaced on the wing by Mawene Hiroti. Blayke Brailey’s minutes will once again be impacted by Connor Tracey and the young rake is an easy sell to Harry Grant.

Dragons: 1. Corey Norman, 2. Jordan Pereira, 3. Euan Aitken, 4. Zac Lomax, 5. Mikaele Ravalawa, 6. Ben Hunt, 7. Adam Clune 8. Josh Kerr, 9. Cameron McInnes, 10. Paul Vaughan, 11. Tyson Frizell, 12. Tyrell Fuimaono, 13. James Graham
Interchange: 14. Trent Merrin, 15. Blake Lawrie, 16. Issac Luke, 17. Matthew Dufty
Reserves: 18. Jacob Host, 19. Jackson Ford, 20. Jason Saab, 21. Korbin Sims
SuperCoach news: Tariq Sims is out of the Dragons in a surprise move which sees Tyrell Fuimaono called back into the squad and handed a start in the number 12 jersey. Brayden Wiliame is out after failing to finish last week’s game due to a calf injury with his spot in the centres taken up by Euan Aitken and Matt Dufty promoted to the interchange bench in place of Aitken.

As you have seen rookie coach here, cost myself plenty of points not realizing reserves counted!
There's a couple pros and cons with Grant at this point of time which I was discussing with an SC mad mate. Grant is actually on loan from the Melbourne Storm and could be whisked away at any point in the season from the Tigers. However, with Billy Walters not in the 17, this opens up Grant to play potentially 80 minutes at hooker which could see some keeper type scores from him to go with the bumper start he has already had.

His BE is -91, so he's in for a seriously large price rise this round, which could be as high as 120K if he pumps out another 70+ score, to go with another negative BE for the next week. That could be anywhere from 130-180K in rises in 2 weeks time. Thinking that the potential rewards are definitely worth taking the risk, and with your strong rank, downgrading Cam Smith is definitely not a terrible option when you have Koroisau on your bench as well. Smith's price shouldn't change dramatically either so you can potentially create an extra premium within 5 weeks if Grant keeps going the way he is. And who knows, Grant could prove to be a keeper if he isn't brought back into the Storm squad as he's getting NRL matches under his belt (especially if it is as an 80 minute player).

Verdict: I'd 100% be doing what you have planned @lappinitup. This is one of those bird in the hand situations that doesn't come around too often. I think we'd all be remiss to be not grabbing him if we are able.

Here is the link where I get my BE's is below for those that don't own SC Gold. Comes in handy for the casual user trying to choose between 2-3 players each week.

Moved up to 2,369 overall

Thinking of going bold this week, downgrading two players and going in to the week with 900k in the bank.

Out: Cameron Smith and Lomax
In: Harry Grant and Best

Likely move to get Smith back in a few weeks once breakevens flatten. Gives me a crack at next 2 weeks with 3 upgrades one downgrade.
With Walters not being named the Grant selection becomes more enticing. As for bringing Best I’d look to trade one of Miski, Wilton (via Fuimaono) or Kennedy (omitted). This means you should have around $700,000 for the coming rounds and I’d look to develop a plan for the ideal targets and trade-outs to ensure the cash is efficiently utilised.

As for your side, I'd look to upgrade the CTW (as mentioned by grabbing Best) as it seems to be the weakest part of your 17. K Capewell seems like a solid selection and has the bonus of dpp allowing to be switched with Yeo at a latter stage.

Grant/Smith could be reassessed next week as there still should be a difference of $350,000 allowing a top line premium to come in
If Best was named, he was always coming in. So that wasn't really ever a Q. The big question is dumping Smith for Grant.

I feel the potential 100k lost by waiting a week, isn't worth waiting - as they are scoring similar at this point in time (yes i know Smith has far more runs on the board!). Grant for 3 weeks could net be 250k, which saves a trade long term. Then hope the upgrades made elsewhere o***ets any point loss or even beats it.

Cheers.

@Connoisseur made me look at other alternatives, which is exactly what we want from this site! So very grateful for that, after looking at those I still landed on doing my original trade.

Now both of your posts give me that little extra confidence to press forward with them. Will look at breakevens and see who goes for Best, not afraid to hold a 0 at this point - outside chance I use the VC loophole.

Trading out Taumalolo last week looking like a win to - in theory could get him next week, but may even wait one game to see what he knocks out. Could knock out 100 from reserves this week too...the fun of supercoach!

Happy to help as always. Thoroughly enjoy providing alternative trades in the majority of SC and RDT formats which coaches haven't considered. I assume a player of your SC pedigree has a rough plan mapped out for the use of the $700,000+ and will be very interested to see how you utilise it, as too often players seem to accumulate a large bank for the sake of it without any solid plan.

Correct.. upgrades in those weak zones you have already identified.

I have a rough plan, however a lot of it likely revolves around Lolo and Cleary - I am super keen to get them in to my side ASAP.

173,800 remaining for Mitchell/Cleray next round

2. Out: A Fifita, S Drinkwater
In: L Collins, N Cleary
Cleary replaces Hess in the 17, Collins/Taunoa-Brown vying for the 2nd FRF spot and remaining salary of 103,300.

3. Out: A Fifita, B Wiliame
In: L Collins, L Mitchell
J Isaako moves to the bench thus allowing Mitchell to move onfield with remaining salary of 11,700

4. Out: A Fifita, B Brailey
In: L Collins, H Grant
389,900 to grab Cleary and Capewell/Mitchell next round replacing Drinkwater and bench CTW
Decided on option 4 which will allow enough cash to potentially go Drinkwater to Cleary along with Lomax to Mitchell or Kennedy to Capewell.

L Collins is currently onfield over Taunoa-Brown and H Grant, J Taumalolo, R Paperhuyzen and G Williams are my 4 reserves with Turbo as captain tonight.

Nice trade and reserve pack.
Do we think Lolo will get his usual 60?
Im hoping

RD 4 - 1157 Haas C

After much deliberation I decided I needed Teddy.
OUTS : Drinky, BB
INS : Teddy, Grant

Already have Ponga & Best, will look at Capewell next week.

C Teddy
Reserves are Ponga, Carrigan, Grant, not sure on last reserve.

Who would you pick, and why?
1. E. Katoa
2. Z. Musgrove
3. T. Fuimaono

Thanks

Thanks.

Hess and Drinkwater are my 18th and 19th to replace Taumalolo if he isn’t named in the 17.

Great trades for this round and score for last round. Bar last round Katoa has been scoring very well and I’d prefer to start him as the 17th player over Musgrove and Fuimaono.

I was surprise Katoa's points were so low. That's the only reason I was thinking the other two. I like the fact the other two are starting.

I'll go Katoa and see what happens. Hopefully all push 60+ which will give some good cash rises ?

Pretty sure Katoa had a few errors last round so that impacted his score somewhat. Remember he crossed for a meat pie the game before as well so 40-50 will probably be his average unless he gets some attacking stats.

As for who to play, I couldn't really give you too much to go off as Fui's minutes are up in the air as are Musgrove's. Katoa probably has a more secure role so might be the safe bet.

Don't play Collins. Backrowers have gone well against Warriors so Hess is a good option
