I haven't really used it much the last few years. This is my first real year with it, so yet to experience the things you talk about.

Good stats database here - https://www.nrlsupercoachstats.com/

I've had a terrible run with fantsay this year, just picked the wrong starting team. My SC team is near perfect so i'll find plenty more reason to like SC this year

Thanks for the link man, had used the NRL fantasy one before for previous years stats, but forgot about it for SC.

The problems I was ranting about were all on NRL Fantasy during FailHub's time if I wasn't clear. 4 seasons of that and I've had enough. Nothing's changed this year either by the looks of it.

First time with SC, so will see how it goes.

Changed my trades up this week and went Keighran to Ponga, DBrown to CHT.

Leaves 415k in the bank for Mahoney to Cook next week. Here's hoping Cook doesn't go too nuts for 1 more week or Ponga can at least match it as my C.

Any ideas welcome! I think it is OK, I just keep choosing to capt and play the wrong players! I have traded Keighran for CHT, but don't know what else to do? Maybe I'm being too patient waiting for Arrow and Taupau

I have Cook Csmith
Fifita Taupau Surgess Mikaele (next week may become Haas)
JTrbo Arrow Murray Burr Okunbor S Williams
Morgan CHT (temporary trade today)
Munster DBrown
CNK Nikora Rav Sivo Garrick Allen Xerri
Teddy Ponga

I have arrow and tapau too, I’d hold the last trade. I brought in cht but don’t have xerri yet. Not sure I’ll bring him in

Yes, I wouldn't be trying everything to get him now. I probably need Bateman but my players' BEs are low, so not sure who to sacrifice. Maybe we can't have them all

Yeah no Bateman was the main thing that jumped out.

Was confused about S Williams in your SR.. I thought you must've meant HLF, but I see that's full. Jack Williams from Sharks I assume?

Bateman's BE is up to 68 this week, so should level off soon. Your other cows are still making cash, so another couple of weeks and you should be able to get Bateman pretty easy.

Holding the trade looks a good move.

Bateman a target in a few weeks. I'd save the 2nd trade this week. Cook captain, should carve up the doggies.

Thanks, I'll save the other trade and see what happens with Arrow.

Probably comeback to bite me.. leaving Cleary and Paulo out for CHT and Haas this week. Trades - Keigharn and Sivo out for xerri and cht. Captain Cook.

And it did lol

Ouch. Cleary's stepped up the last couple of weeks I VC'd him. I like to think he's showing me gratitude for the increased role.

Meanwhile I took the C off Fifita for the third time and regretting it once again.

Really need Ponga to crack an 80+ and leave Cook in the dust for my sanity.

Misread the match and got caught up in cht vs the cows. Think a few would've taken the C off Fifita with all the doubts coming into the game. Ponga is due a big one.

Breathing a sigh of relief with Cook's 67. Just need Ponga to score thereabouts and I'll have saved myself a bunch of cash by reversing the Cook trade to get Ponga.

Regret not playing CHT over Okunbor when I realised that I could've switched Capewell down to CTR.

Got caught up in Cook vs. Ponga all week haha.

Played okunbor even though I put a bet on xerri to score. Wish I went that way instead. Looking at a 70+ point loss with my Cleary bench choice and Okunbor lol. Ponga I'm tipping 70ish (non ponga owner)

I get the feeling okunbor is going to be an average scorer from this point on. Not sure whether I bank his 150k or keep him for the byes.

Should be a good week for me, on target for 1,300 approx.

I think im going to start trading for the byes, could be a few places to make up over the origin period.

I planned to see how Haas goes this round and trade him in for Mikaele in Rd 7, but considering doing it today, because Mikaele's BE means he may lose $ if he doesn't get many mins again. And I may have more pressing trades next week. What do you reckon, worth the risk?

Few on nrlsctalk have done a similar trade this week

Changed my tip from Titans to Knights.. didn't work out well.

Changed my trade from Cook to Ponga.. fuck yeah

Cookie in next week for Mahoney and I can start to feel a bit better about my team.

Need to figure out how to get ponga in. Not fan of death riding in one fantasy game and not the other lol

Haha yeah I saw you were excited about him in the other thread and remembered you saying you didn't have him in SC.

Hopefully doesn't get moved back to 5/8 any time soon.

Glad I held onto Mahoney for 1 more week. Would've been 4/4 on trade-outs that bag a try the week after I dump them. Didn't play him though

Ended up with 1240 pending updates to Garner and whatever other fidgeting they do. Feeling pretty bummed though.. probably because we just got flogged and I've got tickets for Tigers vs. Titans next week.

Have Host to Haas and Mahoney to Cook penciled in. Might have to rethink a little with Nikora out, Garner injured and CNK to be monitored.

Good thing everyone was in action this week and making money besides Radley and Host.
