Not the best start for me...

2(5)/199 NCN (VC)
DreRuss 76 (I was banking on the fact that Stars would see how much they're leaving in the sheds by not moving Russ further up the order... hopefully last nights performance makes them reconsider the lineup for the next 3 games)
NCN 22 x2 :sick:
Sams (E) 41
Stoinis 31 (deferred too much to Maxy imo, needed him to go off)
Gilkes (E) 7

No Maxy or Ross :cry:

Also, I wish there was a way to skim through all these posts or at least have the important ones highlighted... i miss one game and suddenly there's 60 more pages I gotta read. And there's usually some gems among them.

One suggestion would be moving the "during games talk" where five different ppl say so and so got out ( :p ) to discord or something

That's actually a very good idea , have a seperate thread for the "during games" posts

I’d been thinking about a discord for game day chat for these forums’ users. That said, it would dramatically decrease the use of the forums from the younger crowd if we went that way. Less moderation as well which wouldn’t be ideal.

i wouldn't mind just having a news and announcements thread that only people like you, professor etc ( ie the people who do the hard lifting and get the scoops) can post in and the rest of us can read
lol

been suggesting that for the last few seasons 😀 we used to have a Squad announcement thread but when Squads stopped announcing XIII it wasn't really that beneficial

@Professor definitely needs his own thread for his Twitter posts and gems of information

Yeh, I can see Discord being very useful for a lot of the stuff that goes on in these forums, but with the amount of sports SCS covers, it can get very crowded... and then having discord will decrease the traffic on the forums which will reduce the amount of new people that find this useful site

yeah not a discord fan here, i've used it since like 2015 for a bunch of things and unless you want global cross platform voice comms its really not worth pivoting too. it's great for small groups ie sub 10 or 20 people but once you get larger than that it becomes a big mess that is a pain to follow.

Two trades down (Zampa and Stoinis in for Short and Garton) and now weighing the 3rd. Toying with getting in either Wade, Inglis or MMarsh but having more trouble figuring out who to trade out. Two main contenders are Khan and Philippe..

Kahn - Form hasn't been brilliant, and has had looks with the bat that haven't eventuated. Not sure he's a "must hold for the season" player this year, but feel he can be brought back in for later rounds if needed. The risk is if he hits form, he's elite and doesn't need DGR to ton up!

Philippe - Kind of the opposite, form has been brilliant! But it feels like one of those ones where he could be close to topping out, and I don't think any keeper is a season hold given the volatility of players that rely primarily on batting points. His BE is still low (14) but this move could free up some handy cash for the next few rounds.

Any thoughts appreciated!

0/334 (Maxy VC taken)

Trades:

Khan, Siddle to DreRuss and Maxy

5 score involvments

Maxy (C), Zampa, Clarke, DreRuss, Couch played

Won't be taking Gilkes (E), but will have to take Clarke with a game to go (hopefully).

Bartlett, Tye, Philippe, Jordan, Curran, Maxy, Zampa, Clarke, DreRuss, Couch to play.

Not sure how much longer Kerr will be around given his lack of bowling last game and Dwarshuis due back.

1 trade available will likely be Kerr to MMarsh would like to get Wade but not possible with current budget (unless I trade Garton out instead of Kerr).

I don't mind if there are a couple of separate topics here, but I'm really not a fan of discord. Might just be me.

Confirmation that neser and swepson won’t be available for the heat anytime soon as well.
Yeah interesting, what's people thoughts on Guthrie now?

Got too clever for myself and messed up Finch trade in, I can still change him out but I forgot I need the funds from my third trade to get Paris. With Neser gone does Guthrie stay in that squad now? It's really only him or punt on Seymour / JFM but I think they could drop out at any moment now.

Other option is just suck it up and get Renshaw early.

Unless Seymour pulls out a score tonight, I’d say he’s on borrowed time until Finch is available.

You could also grab young Kelly from the Strikers unless you desperately need someone to play this round. That said, Renshaw back might stuff him up.

Yeah once Maddinson and Finch back in the Gades it feels like a lottery to pick any of them up. I don't need a play this week (well I am playing Hughes lol) but could loop em. Kelly doesn't have much security whereas Renshaw I think may bat first drop and possible bowl a bit and seems a solid in, its more just if Guthrie has a but of an extended run now or not.

I traded Rashid this round to avoid donut risks.

I will likely trade Philippe soon, preferably 2 games after his good scoring stops. I think he’ll be hard to hold given the second wave of DGRs, and I expect Inglis will hold down a WK spot soon in any case.
