I'm into sc this year & most on the sc sites think he'll play 60-65 minutes. But even they're divided on McGuire & have the same views as yourself mate & can't see much upside with him. However lately I see him in more teams.

My main concern is still: Is he good enough for my 17th player or do I need to plan my team with another reserve?

White Lightning wrote:

Nah first year playing mate. Do we even have a sc thread here. Actually I think I played it 3-4 years ago but I wasn't serious & only spent 5 mins a week on it.

IMO easily good enough for a start to season reserve mate

Was that the same year you told me not to trade in Radradra before he went big?

I'd say though that a move from prop to lock is much less attractive in SC than in Fantasy, due to the extra points for hitups helping FRF scoring.

Thanks mate, I think so too assuming he is starting, just needed some reassurance.

We sure do, it racked up 1.5 pages for the entire 2016 season

In sc McGuire has a ppm of 1.00 in 2016 so they assume 65 mins is an easy 65 points.

It was

something along the lines of

there is no way Semi can keep scoring tries and 80m TB runs like he has the last few games....

semi then proceeds to avg around 70 ish fo he next few games

I did that to the Bin Dipper as well last year with SKD.  Probably the most objective and mathematically sound post I have ever made.  Turned out to be the worst one as well!  Poor Liverpool left SKD out and the bloke went and scored 3 50 odds in a row or something, and a 70 or something not long after as well.

Yeah, but my gut feel (and I don't play SC seriously so it's just gut) is that there's a bigger difference between FRF and 2RF ppms in SC than there is in Fantasy because of the extra points for hitups in SC (which favours props).

Welshy wrote:

Start of season a 3rd/4th reserve scoring 25+ which should be easily attainable (for a starting half) is more than enough IMO

You    the bin dipper brush I tarred Liverpool with don't you

You feel bad at the time making suggestions which blow up like  this, but It ain't half funny looking back on them after the dust settles.

By that logic, King is a reasonable option as a reserve. Yes I know risky, only two player position, hard to upgrade, injury prone, sucks if CS9 goes down etc etc, but if trials show King going okay then he would be a reasonable choice as reserve?
