1 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: Hello, supercoaches. It feels like the Grand Final just happened, 2 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: but we're already talking about NFL Supercoach twenty twenty six. 3 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,800 Speaker 1: Jet Hatten from Punners dot Com is here and it 4 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: certainly hasn't been any off season. Few busiest time of 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: the year. 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, no off season made depth of the spring. Carnival 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: just had the everest on Saturday, so we've got that 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: behind us. But Melbourne cups in a few tuesdays time, 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: so I'm waiting for that to be over and then 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 2: I can fully enjoy the off season. 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: And how are you going with your tips and punt? 12 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 3: It's really good. 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 2: Actually everyone knows if you're listening to this podcast. So 14 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: I stand up when it's Carnival time. And I had 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: a bit of a quiet off season period, but now 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: big game players, I owed him plenty of winners. 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Well, there's absolutely no off season for super coaches because 18 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: we've got about four or five games happening right now 19 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: with NBA which starts today in about half an hour. 20 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: It's happening. We've got EPL, NFL, bbl's about to launch, 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: NBL Beat the Coaches on, so it's all happening. Hopefully 22 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: you're playing at least a couple of those, and of 23 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: course Super Coach Finals just finished as well. More than 24 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people played that, which we're very happy with 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: that result. Where did you finish up? 26 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you, mate. I tried to be a 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: bit too rogue. Then I just say I'm going with 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: an NFL Supercoach. I'll say that I might employ the 29 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: same strategy in NL Supercoach next year. I just captain 30 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: the same bloke every week and yeah, it goes good 31 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: for me. 32 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: So well, that's what I did in Super Coach Finals 33 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: Reese Welsh every week that he played. Unfortunately there was 34 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: one week where he didn't play and I stuffed up 35 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: by captain. Now Cheapys, So this first of all, I'll 36 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: introduce this episode. It's about the best buys of twenty 37 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: twenty six. Obviously it's only October, it's very early. There's 38 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: a lot of water to go onto the bridge. But 39 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: I still like a lot of these guys on the list. 40 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: We've broken it up into cheapies, guns, we'll do some 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: a pod section just for you later on, and some 42 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: mid ranges as well. So we'll start with the cheap Hicks. 43 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: Who is Your first cheapie picked for twenty twenty six for. 44 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: Me is Daniel Lakinson and it's good that he didn't 45 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: get played much with the Sharks of the back in 46 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: the last year because it doesn't stuff his price up 47 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: for next year, so he'll be bottom dollar. I don't 48 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: think he's going to be a super coach star. I 49 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: think he's going to be a better Ruga League player 50 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 2: than he his supercoach, but he's. 51 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: Still going to translate to points at that price. 52 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: He had won two games over sixty minutes last year, 53 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: seventy one against Melbourne and then I think he had 54 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 2: like a fifty in the final game of the season, 55 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: so he's probably going to be the guy there at 56 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: Saint George. 57 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: He's a good player. His first pick for me, I 58 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: like him. 59 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: I've got a story up on the site now ranking 60 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: my top seventeen buyers. He is number four, I believe 61 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: on that list. Obviously got frozen out by the Sharkis 62 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: last year because he'd signed with the Dragons. Does he 63 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: get a spot at the Dragons that's the biggest question 64 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: because they've got four guys going for two spots. With 65 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: flanagan Ilius and liking King Tongya as well. 66 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: You lock him in. Yeah, I was better than all 67 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: those guys. 68 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: Obviously there's a lot to happen in this preseason, but 69 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: I do like Daniel Atkinson averaged forty three two years 70 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: ago in twenty twenty four when he was averaging seventy 71 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: three minutes, So I think we can predict an average 72 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: in the mid to high forties if he starts, in 73 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: which case he'll make a ton of cash. 74 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: I think out of the cheap is his job security 75 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: is the best with you guys like Jonah Pezzert, all 76 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: those guys, Ethan Sanders, I think he's locked in. I'd 77 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: be very surprised if Flano didn't start him for the 78 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: whole year, especially with some of the guys. 79 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 3: I don't think the. 80 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: Guys they've got there at that high class, and from 81 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: what I've seen, he's pretty good. 82 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Halves is definitely a position of concern for the Dragons. 83 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: For me, my first cheap he picked Jonah Peazant. Now 84 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: the news came in yesterday that he has signed or 85 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: he's a set to sign, It hasn't been one hundred 86 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: percent confirmed yet with the Eels for this upcoming season. 87 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: Then he goes to the Broncos as Adam reynolds replacement 88 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: when Reynolds retires. This is huge for super Coach because 89 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: he averaged what thirty six minutes last year for nineteen points. 90 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: He'll therefore start basically at bottom dollar and he's a 91 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: starting halfback with good job security. Michel Moses is next 92 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: to him in the halves. I think if this sticks, 93 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: if this contract actually gets signed, he'll be the most 94 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: purchased player in super Coach this year. 95 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: To me, it did make sense when the Eels signed 96 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: him just because they shafted Dylan Brown at the back 97 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 2: end of last year to give Joe Ash Papali some 98 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: game time, you know, a groom and him as the 99 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: next six. So I don't think his job security is 100 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: that good. I think it'll be him and Joe. Ash's 101 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: searching for that spot at the six, and from what 102 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 2: I've seen from Papalis, he's a lot of talent. So 103 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: you've got eye on you there as well. Who can 104 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: play six, but he'll probably play fullback. But yeah, to me, 105 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 2: it's a weird one. I guess it's a wait and see. 106 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: We've got a whole preseason to see how things play out. 107 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: But obviously Ryles would have known Pezzitt a bit when 108 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: he was at Melbourne, so he's got that as well 109 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 2: on his side. 110 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: Well, Pezze, it's twenty two, he's barely played any NRL. 111 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: If he was at almost any other club, he probably 112 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: would have lay sixty seventy eighty games by now. I 113 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: think he's one of the most talented young kids going around. 114 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: If he's named in that five eight spot for the 115 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: Eels for a round one, you can't. You just have 116 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: to have him, you cannot avoid. 117 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: Agree, I'll be picking him, But yeah, as I said, 118 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 3: I don't think he's locked in. 119 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of young halves, Ethan Sanders is very popular as well, 120 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: will be very popular. Jamal Foggerty has left the Raiders 121 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: of course, so Sanders is the favorite at this stage 122 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: to take that spot. So that'll be the two Ethans, 123 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: the two young guns in the halves, Ethan Sanders and 124 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: Ethan Strange. Again, if he gets that spot for round one, 125 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: probably plays eighty minutes. You can't avoid him, yep. 126 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: So how it plays out, obviously ko Week's can play 127 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: seven and they have Chevy Stewart Waite in the wings 128 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: there as well, so there could be that the fullback, 129 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: but you think he'd be the favorite to start at seven, 130 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: and it's really hard to pass up on those halves. 131 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: Only two games last year at the Raiders or average 132 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: in the mid thirties, but he'll still be at just 133 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: above a bottom dollar. I'd say around two sixty two 134 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: seventy K for next year at the Rabbitos. So bit 135 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: of movement here. Jamie Humphreys is suspended for the first 136 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: two games, plus Cody Walker was playing from the bench 137 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: to end last year. Seems a little bit out of favor. 138 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: So we could have some young guns coming and playing 139 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: in the halves. Jonah Glover being the number one guy. 140 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: He's the sort of talented kid coming through there. But 141 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: they also have Jaden Sullivan who's done a decent job 142 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: for them in the past. Obviously not a young gun 143 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: these days, but one of them could easily win a 144 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: spot for round one and maybe even further than that 145 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: once Jamie Humphries comes back into the team. 146 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely wanted to keep it on it even for 147 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: a future. Jamie Humphries could play thirteen like he's a 148 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 2: big guy. Wayne liked to play him in the middle 149 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 2: at times, so one of these guys I think are 150 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: definitely going to be in our team somewhere. It just 151 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: depends which one it is. 152 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: Yep. So I mean halves are going to be absolutely 153 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 1: stacked with cheapis as it looks right now, might even 154 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: have to go with three cheepees in the halves and 155 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: just one. We'll get to the guns later on. Makassini, 156 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: who debuted at the end of last season for the Tigers, 157 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: had a really good game. There's plenty of chat floating 158 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: around that if he has a good preseason he could 159 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: start on the wing, maybe even at center for the 160 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: Tigers in round one, in which case you have to 161 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: have him. 162 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a gun, this bloke. He just screamed, supercoach weapon. 163 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 2: He's going to break tackles, He's going to score tries 164 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: as you saw in his only game, Big guy. 165 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: Just yet lock him in if you're starting there. 166 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: Tick tick tick yep. I've got a couple of key 167 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: dates for the NRL coming up, so on the site 168 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: now already, I've got my seventeen top byes for twenty 169 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: twenty six, so have a look at that. In the 170 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: new section of the app, We've also got the predicted 171 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: teams for twenty twenty six up there as well. It's 172 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: just been updated with the Jonah Peasant news from yesterday. 173 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: That'll get updated every time there's an injury almost every day. 174 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: That story will be updated over the offseason. And then 175 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: finally the eleven positional changes that are set to transform 176 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: Super Coach are as well, so you could get a 177 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: sneak peek at the dppiece for next year team pickers 178 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: coming mid to late December. We'll launch around Australia Day, 179 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: hopefully just before Australia Day, and then of course the 180 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: season kicks off March one in Vegas. Questions I put 181 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: the feelers out on Twitter yesterday, heaps came through. This 182 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: one's from Anthony. Is it worth starting with May or 183 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: hears or neither and spend up big elsewhere? 184 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: You'd prefer to start with hass, wouldn't you, Just because 185 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: you're not sure if they play May that big forward, 186 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 2: big minute role again. Just because it's got to take 187 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 2: a toll on your body, no matter how good you are, 188 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: he's going to be very expensive. You think he might 189 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: aggress and come down a little bit, just because it's 190 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: so hard to replicate what he did, But payn ass 191 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 2: is big yes for me. 192 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: Look, the thing is, I don't want to spend big 193 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: at prop because these guys generally stay pretty steady in price. 194 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: I'll be spending my money in positions that fluctuate a 195 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: bit more. Payne hears looks injured every single game, and 196 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: he's playing in the Pacific Championships at the moment, looks 197 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: injured all the time. In the Grand for all the 198 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: finals games, looks injured. I'm just worried he's going to 199 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: have a really short off season because he's playing in 200 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: the Pacific Championships. At what level of fitness does he 201 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: come back and does he need to get eased back 202 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: in over the start of the season. I think there's 203 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: a good chance that happens. And as you said with Tero, Mate, 204 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: I agree with everything you say. He will have to 205 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: get eased through because you can't be playing props with 206 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: seventy seventy five minutes every single week for twenty four 207 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: rounds of the year. In the NROL these days, it 208 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: catches up with you, as we saw last weekend when 209 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: May got ruled out of the Pacific Championships team. 210 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll catch up to me eventually. Whether it's this 211 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 2: year or next year. You just can't do it. You 212 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 2: see it in sports all over the world. You can't 213 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 2: play these guys big minutes because it just takes a 214 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: time on. 215 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 1: I've got a question from Steve, who is asking, is 216 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: Cobbo a buy now that he's at the Dolphins, what 217 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: position do you reckon we'll play? He'll play. I've got 218 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: him penciled in as a winger in their round one side, 219 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: but they're pretty flushing the outside backs. He may not 220 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: even get a spot in that. 221 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: I'm not sure he fits in. Like I was trying 222 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: to work it out. They've got a parco on the wing. 223 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: They've got Veda and Afar who as well, who's exciting 224 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: young fire who's normally their left winger. 225 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 3: He didn't get injured Army. 226 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: They have Bostock, Yeastock and then got Herbie in centers. Yeah, 227 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: so at fullback, he's not going to play fullback because 228 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: they've got Trey Fuller and Hammock. I think for that spot. 229 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: Not sure where he plays, so just you know, it 230 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense for me at the moment, So I 231 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: couldn't buy him with all the uncertainty. 232 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be avoiding as Well, onto the gun section. 233 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: So who is your first gun picked for twenty twenty six. 234 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: Well, for me, my predition for next year is nothing. 235 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 3: Clearly is going to be healthy for the whole year. 236 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: He is going to win dally M and he's going 237 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 2: to be the high scoring super Coach player, So I 238 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: think clearly for. 239 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: Me, Look, I'll be avoiding Clearly to start. I think 240 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: because he's playing for the Kangaroos. They're over at the 241 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: Ashes right now, it's going to be a short pre season, 242 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: may get ease back into things. So Plus, as we 243 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: spoke about before, we've got so many cheapies in the 244 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: halves that are likely to get the nods, So I 245 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: think I'll be avoiding Cleary to start. The guy I'm 246 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: going with first in the guns is Kloha Matangi, who 247 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: killed it a prop last year. So once he moved 248 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: a prop basically mid season, he averaged seventy seven point 249 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,599 Speaker 1: five compared to fifty seven at two RF. But you 250 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: still get him priced at sixty eight for the entire season, 251 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: so he's essentially ten points underpriced if he gets that 252 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: prop spot for round one, which I expect will happen. 253 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 254 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: Well, the only thing about Colimentaneus. You've lost his dual 255 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: position now, so that's a bit of a whack on him. 256 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 2: But you can't knock him even the year before when 257 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: he was playing in the middle, he was just he 258 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 2: was outstanding, and then Wayne finally shifted him back there 259 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: midway through and he just just rose on that. 260 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 3: So for me, I can't not colomentang at all. But 261 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 3: what price reckon he will be, I'll have to work 262 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 3: it out. So six hundred so I can't do. 263 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: That mass in my head, be just donder seven hundred six. Yeah, 264 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: mid sixers, I'd say, don't test my maths life ever. Again. 265 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: On to some other guys in the gun position. Calen 266 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: Ponger pops out for me because he only averaged sixty 267 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: two last year. In the seasons prior to that, he 268 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: averaged in the mid eighties over those two years. They've 269 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: got a new coach there at the nights. The first 270 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 1: thing the coach needs to fix is the attack, because 271 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 1: they had the worst attack in the comp last year, 272 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: even with the talent of guys like Ponger and Fletcher Sharp, 273 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: et cetera. So I reckon Ponger Price on an average 274 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: of sixty two his price can really only go one way, 275 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: and that's up. 276 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's impossible for them to be any worse 277 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: in attack than what they were last year. 278 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: So you're gonna have sharp comeback. You're gonna have Dylan 279 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: Brown in there. See how they click. I have a 280 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 2: preseason to watch them, But yeah, I would be very 281 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: shocked if they Ponger averages sixty again. 282 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: Rhee Walsh will be very popular. Obviously, incredible over the 283 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: finals and you know that run will go down in 284 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: history as one of the greatest runs ever in the NRL. 285 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: But super Coach wise is what we care about. He 286 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: averaged one hundred and thirty five in those last seven games, 287 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: including Super Coach Finals, so that includes the Grand Final, etc. 288 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: But his price is based on a season average of 289 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: eighty five. Obviously, he started slowly because him and Ben 290 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: Hunt took a while to get their combo going. Then 291 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: he picked up that injury around Origin time which really 292 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: affected him, the PCL issue, and then he only really 293 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: came good after Origin finished some sort of Round twenty onwards. 294 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: Is when we saw the best of Reese Walsh and 295 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: he was incredible. So he probably is underpriced, but again 296 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: coming off of big ashes tour and with other guys 297 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: in that position really cheap like Ponger, and we'll get 298 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: to Keanu Kinney later on. But I think he's a 299 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: really good purchase too. I don't quite know if I'll 300 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: go with Rees Walsh. 301 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: It's hard to pass up because a lot of people 302 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: would say at the back end of the year, that's 303 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: when scores start to open up, and the fullbacks start 304 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: punching out those big scores, and there's all those games 305 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: wide open. 306 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: You got the teams at the back end that are 307 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 3: just waiting for Bali. 308 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: But he went on with it in the finals, and 309 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: he really went on with it against some proper teams. 310 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 2: Super coach points was still there. I think he's going 311 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: to keep coming out. I think this is Reeswolks, the 312 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 2: guy that we saw the last seven weeks. The only 313 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: problem is he can pick up an injury. I'm probably 314 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: not going to have him over Origin anymore. 315 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: He's hard to pass up. He's very hard to pass up. 316 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: Well, we've got three full back splots, slots really with 317 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: the flex position that he could potentially fit him in. 318 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,239 Speaker 1: But he's not an automatic selection for me. James Tedesco, 319 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: is he an automatic selection. The thing that I like 320 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: about him is that he pulled out of the Kangaroo's Tour. 321 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: He has to get stem cell surgery on his knee. 322 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: That's only eight to ten weeks, so he still gets 323 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: a really good preseason. His brother's wedding that he's going 324 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: to over over in Europe as well. Look, I just 325 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: like that he's got a good preseason, can build up 326 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: and of course he was the top score from last year. 327 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: I think he can continue that this season. 328 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 3: He's just bomb proof, isn't it, Teddy. 329 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 2: He's been the best, probably the best Super Coach player 330 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 2: over the last ten years, so it's hard to say 331 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: no to him. 332 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: Yep. Probably you can get him from round one, hold 333 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: him for the entire season because he's probably not going 334 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: to play Origin, paynehas and Terra or maybe we spoke 335 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: about them before. I just don't want to spend massive 336 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 1: money that problem to start the season. We're speaking about 337 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: all the games that are happening for Super Coach right now. 338 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: As I said, Super Coach Finals had fifty one thousand people. 339 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: NBA is starting today. First game is in what about 340 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: twenty minutes the end, But you can still get in 341 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: even after that when you're watching this, you can still 342 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: get in for the NBA EPLS. A couple of months 343 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: in NFL is about six weeks in NBL's cranking with 344 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 1: Beat the Coach format, so lots is happening. I can 345 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: also reveal about this time next week we will be 346 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: launching Super Coach BBL, which will be huge this season. 347 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: Mid Rangers, who is your first mid ranger picked? 348 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 2: He's my guy, Lekajala Sema. I just think he's a superstar. 349 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: He's probably the most exciting young player I've seen come 350 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: through in. 351 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 3: A long long time. 352 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 2: I think he's being predicted. At the back end of 353 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: last year, he was only nineteen. I didn't think the 354 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: coach wanted to burn him out too much. That's why 355 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: he was bringing him off the bench. But we saw 356 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: every time he was on the field they were just 357 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 2: a way better team. I think there are attacks can 358 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: essentially around him a lot. I just think he's the 359 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: future of the club and he's not going to be 360 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: He's not going to be that expensive. He probably come 361 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: in a tick under five hundred K because he's come 362 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: off the bench at the back end of the year. 363 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: So lek al Sema lock him in and I think 364 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 2: he'll been a lot of teams. 365 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: So his price is based on an average of fifty 366 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: four minutes from last year played basically half his games 367 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: off the bench. If he goes up to eighty minutes 368 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: this year, and coach Andrew Webster is on the record 369 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: saying that he will eventually be an eighty minute player, 370 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: so let's assume that happens. From round one he goes 371 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: fi four minutes to eighty minutes, he's averaging at his 372 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: PPM seventy for Super Coach, which makes him a keeper 373 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: for the entire season. Yeah, I love it. Although my 374 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: first guy picked is also a back rower. It's David 375 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: for Feita. Like I know, I'm going to couple up 376 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: for this, and I already have the stories out in 377 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: the top seventeen buyers and I'm getting panned for it. 378 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 1: But you look at David for Feeda, He's one of 379 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: the greats of Super Coach, probably the best two RF 380 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: in Supercoach for the five or so years prior to 381 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: last season. Then last season balls out massively with the 382 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: coach only plays forty eight minutes then gets sent for 383 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: surgery on his ankle. I think he had two surgeries 384 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: on his ankle actually, so price based on forty eight minutes. 385 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: They've got a new coach there at the Titans. He's 386 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 1: not going to have to deal with Dez Hasler anymore. 387 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: So he could step up back up to eighty minutes. 388 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: Or Wayne Bennett really wants him at the rabbit Oz, 389 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: in which case he'd go there and hopefully play eighty 390 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: minutes as well. David Fafieda playing eighty minutes probably scores 391 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: another thirty odd points compared to what he did last year, 392 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: so he could be an absolute keyp art price at 393 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: a midrangeer price. 394 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 3: He's just too hard to trust. 395 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: Like we both started off with him at the back 396 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 2: end this season. 397 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: We had to buy, yeah, even though he had to buy. 398 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 2: And it's still like I know, he came on like 399 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 2: the first time at twenty minutes in, but then a 400 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 2: few weeks later they were ramping up his minutes. 401 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: He was starting to play some really good footy. 402 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 2: I was at the game at wins Stadium when he 403 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 2: scored about one hundred and thirty and he just tore 404 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 2: them up on that right edge. It is hard to 405 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: pass up just because of his price, and we know 406 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 2: what he can do, but just a way that he's 407 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: trending with being out of favor of the Titans and 408 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: getting moved on, I just couldn't trust him. 409 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: Look if he is at the Rabbit Oats under Wayne Bennett, 410 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: and we've seen what Wayne Bennett can do in turning 411 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: guys careers around, I think you have to have him. 412 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: Is any sign of playing eighty minutes, you just have 413 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: to take the punt because I reckon he's almost three 414 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: hundred k underpriced compared to what he's day in the past. 415 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 2: I think you can wait because wait and see it 416 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: till the price risers come in, and you can get 417 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 2: him in a before that because you're not going to 418 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 2: be left waiting. Like we can have trades that you 419 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 2: can offload other guys to him. 420 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: We also have to see how cooked that ankle actually is. 421 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: Hopefully to get some preseason games, plays in All Stars 422 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: games or whatever, and we can see just how that 423 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: ankle is because it's been troubling him a fair bit. 424 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: The other guy I love at the Titans in the 425 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: mid range, Janno Kinney, only averaged forty five points in 426 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: fifty one minutes. Obviously those minutes were down because he 427 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: played from the bench a fair bit at that serious 428 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: neck injury, but the season prior to that is averaging 429 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: mid seventies in that position. I think you can get 430 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 1: him from the start of the season. He could be 431 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: a keeper for the rest of the year. One of 432 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: the young superstars of the game, great work rate, tacklebuster. 433 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: It does everything we want from super coach player at 434 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: a very good price. 435 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with everything you just said. He'll have, 436 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: you know, the good experience with the Kiwi's over this 437 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 2: offseason as well. So guys like him Marley going to 438 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: keep improving. So I really like jan can. 439 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: He Hooker has suddenly become a hotbed of supercoach buyers 440 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: because we've got Jake Simpkin, Red Marney and Reese Robson, 441 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: three guys who I really really like to fit into 442 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: two slots there. I'll start with Jake Simpkin. So at 443 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: the Seagles, they've lost Jazz Tavanga, they've lost Chancum Tong 444 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: and Croaker doesn't look like he'll play either. So you've 445 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: got Simpkin as the soul hooker, probably playing eighty minutes. 446 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: When he did that last year in the final five games, 447 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: he averaged sixty two he could be looking at a 448 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: guy who's priced on an average of forty three last 449 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: year would be getting about twenty points more than that. 450 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's okay. He's not going to set the world 451 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 3: a light. 452 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 1: No he's not. But on paper it makes a lot 453 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,959 Speaker 1: of sense. It does if you look at the numbers. 454 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 3: It does. But he's just so. 455 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: Would you prefer reed Marny out of favorite the Doggies 456 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: only played sixty one minutes now at the cow Boys, 457 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: where he should play eighty There's not that much competition 458 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: for hooking game time there. 459 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 2: Well, red Money has attacking upside where a Simpkin doesn't 460 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 2: read money kick forty twenty is he's going to take 461 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 2: the line on when they're close to it. I just 462 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 2: think Red Money is a much better super coach player 463 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 2: than Bake Simpkins, and we saw that when he was 464 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: at the Eels he was one of the better super 465 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: coach hookers. 466 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 3: In the game. 467 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: So if the Cowboys back him and he's in an 468 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: eighty minute role, I much prefer Red Money as a 469 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 2: buy over Robson or Simpkin. 470 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 1: Let's go to Robson now then, So this is a 471 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: bit of a hidden hope. I must say, played big 472 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: minutes at the Cowboys seventy five minutes last year, so 473 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: you're not going to get much improvement there. May even 474 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: come down a bit given. 475 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 3: That I'd suggest come down I've got on the bench. 476 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: But he did drop one hundred and seventy k at 477 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: a poor attacking team. He goes to the Roosters who 478 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: were red hot and attack last year fourth best attack. 479 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: In the cop Yeah, well, you just don't know how 480 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: much minutes is he going to play. They haven't had 481 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 2: a big minute where since probably Jake Frent so well, 482 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: even Watson was coming off the bench because they really 483 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: like that Ben Il If you say his name, I 484 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: think he'll play fifty five minutes and that you just 485 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 2: don't want him in your team when you're going to 486 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,719 Speaker 2: have guys that are going to play eighty minutes. 487 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: Jermaine Hopgood any love for him? If you look at 488 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: the story on positional changes, you'll see that Hopgood has 489 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: earned dual position because he started the season playing back row, 490 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: finished with it was about i'd say eight games off 491 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: the top of my head at prop and did pretty well, 492 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: finished with the five round average of seventy six at PROP. 493 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: But he's priced on a fifty three average. 494 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. 495 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,640 Speaker 2: I have to wait and see with Hopgood just how 496 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 2: the precession goes. It was definitely a lot worse than 497 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: what he was the year before. Last year, not in 498 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 2: terms of form, but just in terms of super coach wise, 499 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: just wasn't pumping out those minutes that they were expected. 500 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 2: And you've got those young guys coming through. Charlie Geimer 501 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 2: is probably going to have a bigger role next year. 502 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: Now we go with Hopgood. 503 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: The ballons at the club too, commands big minutes, and 504 00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: I want to see what his fitness is like because 505 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: and pick up an injury. Yeah, so look he's not 506 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: an automatic purchase for me, but definitely on the raidar 507 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: also at the Eels, Mitchell Moses. Actually I really liked this. 508 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: Actually so average fifty five last year, had a horrible 509 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: season with the injury, only played thirteen games, but he 510 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: finished with a five round average of sixty eight. When 511 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: the Eels finally got it together and they got used 512 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: to what Jason Rowles was doing, and he's averaged mid 513 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: to high sixties in previous seasons, So I think we're 514 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: getting him probably ten points under priced. Can chuck him 515 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: in as you're starting half back to start the year 516 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: alongside those three cheapis we mentioned before. 517 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 2: I agree, but I feel like you're going to want 518 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: to have Nathan Cleary and Yeah guys like that, So 519 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: it's going to be hard with all these cheapis in. 520 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: But if you want to go up pod Mitchell Moses Good, 521 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 2: I think Parramatta. 522 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 3: Are going to be a lot better this year. 523 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: I think they're going to be a top six team 524 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 2: and mitches at the head of that. 525 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 3: So it's hard to pass up except for the fact 526 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 3: that you got Nathan clear and Nico Hines. These type 527 00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 3: of guys that you want in there. Any love for 528 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 3: year on mine that I never again lest never again. 529 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 2: He started off good, he got one hundred and twenty 530 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,959 Speaker 2: first games, he's on the genius how we got this? 531 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: But then just twenty everywhere you get a try and 532 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 3: he scored forty two and say what he's doing? So 533 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 3: he's going to play origin as well, So you're going 534 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 3: to have him over that period. 535 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: No never again, right, this is your time to shine 536 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: the pod section of the podcast. Who's your big pod? 537 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 3: Well, speaking of the Eels, I'll stick with them. 538 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: I really like Isaiah YONGI just this little training and 539 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: you've got these second year fullbacks, they just always improved, 540 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: especially super coach wise. You got guys like Jan O'Kinney 541 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 2: at the Titans, he was massive improved of second year 542 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 2: k weeks as well. Leading the Raiders was a super 543 00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 2: coach gun for the little period there. Even Fletcher Sharp, 544 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 2: I know he didn't play fullback, but his second year 545 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 2: player with another pre season under his belt. This will 546 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 2: be second preseason with the Eels. Obviously started off with Penrith, 547 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 2: so he's just going to have that bit more confidence 548 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 2: about him. The way he carries himself, so he I 549 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 2: think he averaged from round seven he didn't have a 550 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: score below fifty. Had a few tons in there as well. 551 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 2: Just think he's going to be a massive little pod. 552 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: No one will go there because they think you got Turbo, 553 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: You've got Teddy. All these other guys, I think I 554 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,239 Speaker 2: might start with County Isaiah YOUNGI sorry, another guy I 555 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 2: like gran Anderson at the Broncos. 556 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, mister fixer for the Storm. 557 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 3: I think they're going to miss him big time. 558 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: He'll probably lobb on the left edge and that was 559 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: just a gold mine for Brisbane. Another guy as a 560 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: Sharks fan, I'll give you all little little hint. I 561 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: think Harper Pour will start the season at Lock and 562 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,120 Speaker 2: he'll play there for most of the year. They went 563 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,919 Speaker 2: with Jesse Calhoun at the back of the year, but 564 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 2: that's because it was getting close to finals time. You 565 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 2: don't want to put a young guy in there and 566 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 2: just say here, he's locked. So the Chuck Colhoun in there, 567 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 2: who's had plenty of your first great experience. I think 568 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 2: we'll hear a lot more about Peru over the off 569 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,919 Speaker 2: season and the preseason. So I think he'll start at thirteen, 570 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: and he's bargain bright, he'll check. 571 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be cheap, whining, I have quick get off, 572 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: but he'll. 573 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 3: Be He'll be two hundred thousand. 574 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: So his only games that he played about twenty minutes 575 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: off the bench, so he'll be low as anything. 576 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: Nice, all right, great, cool for me. I've got Dylan Brown, 577 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: so yuck l like this. He played basically every position 578 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: at the Eels last year, so his average is obviously 579 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: down compared to what he's done in the past, is 580 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: certainly down. He goes to the Knights, where I think 581 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: he's going to play half back. I reckon I Fletcher 582 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 1: shut sharp, firebait and pong at full back. I reckon 583 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: the Knight's going to be a lot better under Justin Holbrook. 584 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: I just think that the whole team's going to change, 585 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: the dynamic is going to change, and Rice to an 586 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: average of fifty four is a fair bit under for 587 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 1: Dylan Brown, and no one's going to want him because 588 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: people are going to have that exact same reaction that 589 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 1: you just had, Oh yuck. Dylan Brown, Well. 590 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: For me, when he plays seventy, just doesn't seem to 591 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: insert himself in the game as much as he should. 592 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 2: Like he does when he's playing six out on the 593 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: outside of Mitchell Moses. He runs the ball, takes the 594 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: line on, gets those offloads the Sean. 595 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: Lane of the past. But I don't think he's going 596 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 3: to run the ball. 597 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 2: I think he's going to try and come in and 598 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,719 Speaker 2: you know, he's a big money guy, so he's going 599 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 2: to want to be that game manager, which he can be. 600 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: I just don't think it's going to translate to super 601 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 3: coach points. 602 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 1: So some key position changes speaking of Dylan Brown is 603 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: we've only got him as half back at the moment. 604 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: Obviously this can all change before the team picker comes 605 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 1: out in mid to late December, then we can change 606 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: the positions again leading into round one, then again leading 607 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: into six, twelve and eighteen. So there's lots of positional 608 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,360 Speaker 1: potential positional changes to come. So with guys who are 609 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: a chance of playing a lot of positions, we're generally 610 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,399 Speaker 1: just going to go with one position to start and 611 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: then we can add one later on. So Dylan Brown 612 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: looks like, we'll just go with halfback for now and 613 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: then we can add five, eight or whatever he plays 614 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: later on. Tino for Arsenal Walley though he's lost, so 615 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: he's lost. FRF only played one game there last year, 616 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: so only two RF Tino, which was a big plus 617 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: for having him last year because she could switch him 618 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 1: around in those two slots. 619 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's hard to these middle forwards like Tina, 620 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: Like obviously he's got thirty on his back, but we 621 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: all know the sort of role that he's playing. It's 622 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: definitely less attractive at that two RF spotches because you 623 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: can have a lot more guys that you want to 624 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 2: have you in there, and you just like to have 625 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 2: him in there at front right forward. 626 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, I probably couldn't have. 627 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: Him unless, of course, justin sorry, Josh Hannay comes out 628 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: and says he's going to play prop this year, in 629 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,639 Speaker 1: which case we'll add it back on. 630 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 3: Yeh. 631 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: Dylan Lucas has lost Santa Wing, which is a big 632 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,719 Speaker 1: bloke because he was a great your position for us 633 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: last year, and Tom Trouboyevich. At this stage, we're going 634 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: to go fullback only to start the year, So no 635 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: Santa Wing, even though he played five games there last season. 636 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: But who knows, the coach could come out and chuck 637 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: him in at center to start of the season. He 638 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: will end up as dull. 639 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 3: That's probably fair enough. Tom. 640 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: Tom started to find some form in the back end, 641 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 2: so they're only having him there because coming back from 642 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 2: injury you wouldn't like Even when he's playing there, they 643 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 2: always said Tom's out fullback, so yep. 644 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: So questions to finish the show, Daniel Hackman says, can 645 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: we get a full list of the DPP changes. The 646 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: full list is not out yet. We're working on it now. 647 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: Jet's been looking at it a couple of other guys, 648 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: but that will come out when the team picker comes 649 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: out in mid to late December. But there is a 650 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: story up on the site. Check out the new section 651 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: of the Apple wherever you get your Super Coach news 652 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: that has the eleven positional changes that are going to 653 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: shake up super Coach. I've mentioned a bunch of them. 654 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: Just before Mark Lawler says, what price would Joan a 655 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: peasant be? Looks like he'll be. I'll be bottom dollar 656 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: only averaged nineteen last year, so it'll be around two 657 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty odd K. That may be adjusted. We 658 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: might be increasing the salary cap, so that may be 659 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: adjusted a little bit from there. Big thanks to Jet. 660 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: Good luck with the punting over the next couple of 661 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: weeks leading into the Melbourne Cup, and we'll catch you. 662 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: We're going to do a bunch offseason podcasts that will 663 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: catch you soon
