Is there any reason why things would change for matto ?

mickspicks wrote:My first thought for Parra is to move Hopgood or Matto to 2RF, the other lock, and putting Lane out to pasture.

Secondly, Hands in over Lussick.

Third, never let Sivo see the field again.

Don’t think it helps his scoring much. Definitely doesn’t help the team. He’ll be too knackered to throw silly offloads worth 4 each!

Hard to see drastic changes tomorrow.

I do think Sivo can go though.

Haha this is true. As a Matto owner I’m petrified he doesn’t get a look in

Issue with trading for byes is you run out of trades, and then for the run home you have no trades, and a team full of players who had a good schedule 6 weeks prior.

If you can get final 17 players who also play byes, that is ideal, but better off concentrating on getting a good 17 together

Losing 120 points in each bye round is not a major concern if you get an extra 30 points a week in the other weeks.

Often as well as trades being an issue, cash is, which is why the discount gun shop comes in handy.

Some discount guns will be attractive to everyone - eg Payne Haas will be on everyone's radar after origin, as currently $100k cheaper than David Fifita and arguably a better long term scoring prospect.  Similarly Cameron Murray will be someone to target when he takes the field again, he'll be a bunch cheaper than other options of similar quality.

But if you're low on cash there are often players who are only slightly worse than idea best 17 players, but available at a large discount. Just have to keep your eye out for those.
Generally better to get 2 45 point players than 1 guy who averages 60 next to a 20 point nuffie who doesn't even play every week.

Moses a top of tier 2 HB, probably 6-7th best in NRL
Gutho similar at FB
Both injured anyway, Gutho maybe to the point of being washed, absolutely no depth or cover for either and haven’t for years so not sure that’s totally BAs fault.
Above average FE, way below average HOK
Forwards decent, outside backs eh, again no depth
Massive junior base but like Dogs don’t seem to capitalise on it the way other clubs do

He’s been there awhile so maybe a fresh face in charge helps but Parra are definitely from the Tigers, Dragons school of falling arse backwards into their rare successes, so don’t see this helping much longer term.

Also Barrett seems like a very good assistant coach.
