1 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: Hello, super coaches, Welcome to our preview podcast for the 2 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: Vegas games coming up this weekend. Four teams taking the 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: field this weekend, but they're all really super coached relevant teams. 4 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 1: A lot of sides are going to have five to six, 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: maybe even seven players playing this weekend even though there's 6 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: only the two games. Jet Patten's here, how many changes 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: have you made since team this Tuesday yesterday? 8 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 2: Made one mate? Get to that later, I get to 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: mew up. I brought in klan Ponger. Yeah, six hundred thousand, 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 2: Daly am fullback. Heard reports yesterday by Barry Tooey, the 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 2: reporter up in Newcastle with his kicking goals. I think 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: he might just be too hard to pass up about 13 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: six hundred k. So I think the three full backs 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 2: is back on. Klan Ponger and welcome my team. 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: Barry Tooey, great man, used to work here and his 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: mail at the Knights is always sport on. Kicking goals 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: is good because that was the question mark with that 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: serious foot injury that he's coming back from the issue 19 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: would be they'd miss out on that's ten or twelve points. 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: I think also in that tweet, I'm thinking it's the 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: same one that I've seen. He also said that Sam 22 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: and Smith could kick when he is on the field, 23 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: it'd be up to how Pong is hitting them. 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well yeah that goes, but you know who knows 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: when Santa Smifth comes on and you think if Pongres 26 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 2: starts kicking, that not going. 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: To I've made a whole bunch of changes. It's mid 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: range madness in my side. At the moment I brought 29 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: in Hamish Stewart and Trey Mooney didn't own, had never 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: owned any of them. 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: During the preseason. 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: I just was assuming that Trey Mooney would get benched, 33 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: but that hasn't happened. He's starting, so he's coming into 34 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: a lot of teams. Was already very popular before that. 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: I was just chatting to someone out there before and 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: it hadn't even occurred to me. He's like, imagine if 37 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: because there was all this chat that Trey Mooney would 38 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: be benched on teamless Tuesday and then he got named 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,639 Speaker 1: to start, Imagine if they bench him on game. 40 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: Day, that can definitely happen. It's happened previously when there's 41 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: been male that someone's going to come off the bench 42 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: and then they end up starting and everyone picks up a 43 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: big stink about it. But then in the last ninety 44 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 2: minutes now they get shifted to the bench. So it's 45 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: definitely a watch on Sunday to see if it happens. 46 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 2: But yeah, less we get the week to see it out. 47 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, good point on the ninety minutes. I believe that's 48 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: been approved. But it looks like the final teams will 49 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: come out ninety minutes before kickoff instead of sixty minutes, 50 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: which is a big win for super Coaches. Supercoach Plus, 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: it's twenty nine ninety five for the year. But it's 52 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: a free trial right now, So get in their middle 53 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: around see who the most popular captains are, who the 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: most popular players are. There's big changes in that happening now, 55 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: obviously with everyone completely overhauling their sides post TLT. So 56 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: get in there, have a fiddle around for free. See 57 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: if you like it, then come around too. You can 58 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,839 Speaker 1: pay up that twenty nine ninety five for the year. 59 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 3: The No Go Zone. 60 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: This is always a popular segment on the show. Who's 61 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: a popular guy that you're looking at leaving out to. 62 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,799 Speaker 2: Me it's Ethan Sanders. I've never had it in my team. 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 2: The whole year is about fifty percent ownership at the moment. 64 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 2: That's because Daniel Atkinson's in there as well, and I 65 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: don't think Atkinson's a better option. Even though Sanders has 66 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: tipped to get the goalkicking, he hits a less than 67 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 2: seventy percent anyway, so he's not guaranteed to keep that. 68 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: I think Atkinson his job security has better long term. 69 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 2: I've said to be the best player on a top 70 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: eight team. When heinz and Trindle down at Kronala runs 71 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 2: the footy, he's going to accumulate super coach points. So 72 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: I just think he's better buy than Sanders. And you 73 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: can't run two cheap halves. I think you'll take one. 74 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: Of the other. Yeah, no, chief halves. 75 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: I was actually discussing this with someone this morning and 76 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: he's like, you have to run two cheap halves because 77 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: you've got the flex to fix it up. Makes some 78 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: sense on some level, but for me, what happens if 79 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: neither of them fire, and with the new scoring system, 80 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: how are they going to make mass cash. You've got 81 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: to stick with him for at least four maybe five weeks, 82 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: hoping that one of these top guys will come down, 83 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: which the scoring system says that they will, but also 84 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: you look at the trials, the games are going a 85 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: bit faster as well. I think the style of the 86 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: game this year is own to suit half backs a 87 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: bit more so then that could cancel out in new 88 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: scoring system. 89 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 3: In any case, I think you're going to. 90 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: Be stuck with Atkinson, pardon Atkinson and Sanders for about 91 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: five weeks, and I don't want to do that. 92 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you gonna want to upgrade him at some point 93 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 2: as well, and if both of them know fire, really 94 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: it's going to be very hard to find that cash 95 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: upgraded to a Heinz or a Cleary one of those boats. 96 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Atkinson for me as well. I think just 97 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: the job security is good. We know that he's been named, 98 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 1: we know what he's done in the past, whereas Sanders 99 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: haven't really seen what he can do. 100 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: With Atkinson, He's got. 101 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: A decent body of work there, twenty odd Errol games. 102 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: We know what he can produce. 103 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 1: So I'll go with the surety of him rather than 104 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 1: Ethan Sanders's job security. 105 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 3: Let's face it probably isn't the best. 106 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I only Atkinson will set the water al up 107 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: like I don't think he's going to be a season 108 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: long keeper, but he'll do a job in the early 109 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: days for us. 110 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: My no Go is Cameron Murray, so he's been in 111 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: my team all pre season. He is definitely underpriced. I 112 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: reckon about one hundred thousand dollars underpriced. The new scoring 113 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: system probably suits him, although it's hard to stack up 114 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: his stats given that he barely played last year. But 115 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,799 Speaker 1: there are just so many good mid rangers in the pack. 116 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: Cameron Murray costs five hundred and fifty off the top 117 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: of my head, and you've got guys like Hamis Stewart, 118 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: hilm Luki, Jamaine McEwen, Trey Mooney all. 119 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 3: Available for a lot less than that. 120 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: So I'll be going with the guys who are a 121 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: little bit cheaper, which will give me a bit of 122 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: cash to spend elsewhere. 123 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: I've toyed with the idea of moving Caer Murray on 124 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 2: to Jermaine mceillen and Hamy Stewart one of those type 125 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: of guys, but I just keep coming back to his 126 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: class and the fact that it's Keer Murray and his 127 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 2: five hundred and fifty zeros. These guys are obviously a 128 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 2: lot more cheap than he is, but they don't have 129 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: the pedigree that Kaer Murray has been one of the 130 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: best players in Super Coach over a long period of time. 131 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 2: I'll end up sticking with him that The one reason 132 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: why I don't is we've got so many bunnies in 133 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: my team and they've got that by early. But I'll 134 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: end up I reckon, I stick with him. 135 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 3: He's out for me. He's cost too much. Cama Murray 136 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 3: dead to me. 137 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: Some other guys who are going a bit cold in 138 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: Supercoach right now, also in some people's no go zones. 139 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: See Ken to see if they're in your no go zone. 140 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: Reed Marny so Sonny Luke has been named on the bench. 141 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: That tells me that le Reed Marny isn't going to 142 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: play the full eighty minutes. It's probably sixty minutes. Let's 143 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: say if he does play the full eighty, you might 144 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: have to just stay on there and tackle be playing 145 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: a lock roll essentially. But then you look at their team. 146 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: They've got Griffin Nime who apparently is fit to play. 147 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: He's made a miracle recovery from a shoulder injury. He's 148 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 1: not in the seventeen, so he expects he comes in. 149 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: John Bateman's not in the seventeen. He's been struggling with 150 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: a wrist injury, but he could come into that seventeen easily. 151 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 3: And then the. 152 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: Chat is that Matt Lodge is going to play as well, 153 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,839 Speaker 1: and he's not in the seventeen. So I've got three 154 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: guys who potentially could come onto that bench. Sonny Luke 155 00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: could easily not play that game and read Marnin he 156 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: gets eighty minutes, and we've missed one of the better buys. 157 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's just six man mentioned now, so it's 158 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 2: hard to sort of line up who's going to play 159 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 2: and who isn't. I just can't fit read in at 160 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 2: the price, like a few options there at a cheaper 161 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 2: price than read it, even though I think he looks 162 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: really good there. We can sort of wait and see 163 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 2: and see how it all plays out. I don't think 164 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: you have to go in round one. There's probably too 165 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: much risk doing that, So we can wait three or 166 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: four weeks and you know, lit one of those other 167 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,239 Speaker 2: guys to him. 168 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: The other thing I point out is that Todd Payton 169 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: is a coach who really likes playing his hookers for 170 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,679 Speaker 1: eighty minutes He's done it a lot during his careers, 171 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: so there's definitely a world where, look, I think there's 172 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: probably fifty sixty per chance, maybe even more, that Marty 173 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: plays eighty minutes. 174 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 3: You just can't take that risk when. 175 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: You've got other guys in the position like Brandon Smith, 176 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: who we've got the story out today, has been confirmed 177 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: for that number nine spot at the rabbit Os. 178 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: So he's Brandon your boy this year. 179 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: I'm hearing the ILU is A A is going to 180 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: be the starting nine for the Roosters. Yeah, because Reese 181 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 2: Robson's out for two months. Reportedly, they're going to play 182 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: Connor Watson through through the middle exclusively, which means there's 183 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 2: big minutes in coming through a well, and he's got 184 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: a bit of flair about him in a bit of attacks. Though, 185 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to start with him over Branchie Smith. 186 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: He's the same. He's about two hundred and forty eight 187 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 2: k two percent ownership, whereas bran Smith's like, yeah, fifty percent. 188 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: So I think it'll be a lot. You'll go up 189 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 2: a lot next week when he gets named. But for 190 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: more reports just looks like he's got his head in 191 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 2: front to win that starting role. 192 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,079 Speaker 1: Another guy that people are going really cold on is 193 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 1: Ati Valu Lasati. Now, I've got no idea where he's 194 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: going to play in round one. I've got no idea 195 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: where Joe Chan's going to play in round one. But 196 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: if you look at that, I've got no idea what 197 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: Sean Blaw's doing in trial. He's got a controversy surrounding 198 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: him right now. Plus Trent Liero suspended for the first 199 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: couple of rounds, so there's so many moving parts here. 200 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 3: What we did see in the trial was that Joe Chan. 201 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: Played on the right, which is early Katowa's old spot, 202 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: and Lasardi played on the left. With Blaw potentially coming 203 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: back in that means Losardi probably has to play lock 204 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: maybe to the bench. That's just me theorizing. I don't know. 205 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: I've got no idea what Craig Bell and he's thinking 206 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: either way. If we're thinking about it that much, it's 207 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: been enough for me to get rid of Adi Valley 208 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: Losardi out of my team and I've got Joe Chan 209 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: in there instead. He's forty k more so, if Losardi 210 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 1: gets that right edge back row spot for a round one, 211 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: it's a pretty easy change. I can go down to 212 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 1: Losarti and it freeze up forty K. Whereas if you've 213 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: got Lasardi in there and you have to go up 214 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: to Joe Chan next week and you've already got all 215 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: these pieces of the puzzle elsewhere, it could be more difficult. 216 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've tinkered with my team and I've moved him 217 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: up to Joe Chan, but I'm thinking of just removing 218 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: the headache all together and just don't worry about the 219 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: guessing games. We've got one hundred K and the bank, 220 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: so I could go up to a Hamis Stewart about 221 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 2: four hundred k, or I can go down to Cooper Buyers, 222 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 2: or I don't have him in my team at the moment, 223 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 2: so it's a guessing game. The fact that Chan's on 224 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: the right edge would suggest that he's got his head 225 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: in front, but Bellamick can change his mind like this, 226 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: and I just don't want to be a part of 227 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: those games, so I think I might opt out. 228 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 3: Well. 229 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: One thing to point out if you don't know this, 230 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: In Super Coach, only your Vegas players lock out after 231 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: this round. You can make unlimited changes next week, so 232 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: you've got these guys locked in, like Tom Chester example, 233 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: really popular. Set to two will be locked in. Other 234 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: than that, you can change your team as much as 235 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: you want next week. Obviously, I want to have a 236 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: good guide of what your team will be because that 237 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: affects where you spend your money this week. But you've 238 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: got all of next week to make decisions as well. 239 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: Cody Walker is a boy that look I've actually got 240 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: him in the no Gozo. 241 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 3: I think he's a bit of a trap. But you're 242 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: keen on him. 243 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't keen on him at all until I 244 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: saw him play on Sunday and he was just running 245 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 2: the footy. It will the likes of for Feeder and 246 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: Latreil were just attracting so much attention outside him. He 247 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: was just he had like three line breaks. Brent Smith 248 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: had an offload he went straight through. He just looked 249 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: confident and ready to go. I didn't expect to see 250 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: Cody sort of tearing up my dad in trial, so 251 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: I thought he'd take it easy. But the fact that 252 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,199 Speaker 2: he's really turning up for a trial suggests that he's 253 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,599 Speaker 2: in for a big year. And Jesus just hard to 254 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 2: pass up Cody Walk with the ball playing skills we 255 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: know he has now with the weapons outside and with 256 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 2: David Hafeeda who looked awesome, had that massive run greight 257 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: out at the gates, and he's given him the ball. 258 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: He's one hundred k. He's definitely going to make some point. 259 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Look, I'll start with the positives on him. Yes, he 260 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: looked good. He was running the ball, which shows that 261 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: he fit, which he wasn't for most of last year, 262 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: and that he can trust his carves and his hamstrings. 263 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: Which is good. 264 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: The other thing he said in the postmatch presser post 265 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: match interview rather was that was his first preseason in 266 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: three years, Like he hadn't actually had a proper preseason 267 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: in three years. 268 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: So he's fit, he's firing. 269 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: He also said he's going to have a lot of 270 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: fun this year on that left edge with all that 271 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,199 Speaker 1: struck powers that you just mentioned. 272 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 3: So that's the good. 273 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: The bad is that he had an absolute blinder three 274 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: line breaks in a try, still only got sixty odd 275 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: super coach. So look, I think you'll make money, but yeah, 276 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: there are other guys in that position. I want to 277 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: spend a bit more cash in that. 278 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: Really, it's been a wastele in that position. 279 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 3: It's hard except for one player. Fletcher Shark. 280 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, true, but it's tough. It's tough. He's about 281 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: seven hundred thousand, so you've got to fro up a 282 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: lot of cash to go from Cory Walker to Fletcher Shark. 283 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: That's like three hundred and something thousand. I think that'll 284 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 2: be too much. Between Fletcher Sharp and Corry Walker. We 285 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 2: want to have a little wage or something and lunch 286 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: we should. 287 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: We should mid rangers. 288 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: So I think this is I reckon it's the best 289 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: mid range batch we've ever seen. 290 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: Super Coach, lots of them going around. Who is your mid. 291 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: Range by of the year To me, obviously Kin is 292 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: the obvious one. I'll leave him and he's a must 293 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 2: for me and for. 294 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: Feed as a must too. 295 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's just not talk about that. For me, it's 296 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 2: you mentioned him earlier. Higlan Luki. Yeah, he's just he's 297 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: got so much ability, and like Katie Walker, he's got 298 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: his injury woes and he just can't stay healthy over 299 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 2: the last few years. But they've been major injuries. It 300 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 2: hasn't been like hamstring stuff that been holding him back. 301 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: It's been like acy or stuff like that. He's looked 302 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: awesome in the preseason. He's a big boy. Just heaps 303 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: of upside plays this weekend, so we get a good 304 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 2: look at him. But Jeremi Nani round six or ten. 305 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: We don't know when he's coming back, but I think 306 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 2: he'll start anyway. The minutes might increase. He might have 307 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 2: been an eighty minute back row at the start, but 308 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: he'll hand up being one, I think, and every chance 309 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: he plays our origin. I just think he's a mass 310 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 2: at that price. 311 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I really really like him and I currently have 312 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: in my team for all the reasons you mentioned. You mentioned, 313 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: but you did mention Jeremiah Nanay, who's a little bit 314 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: of an. 315 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: Issue for him. 316 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: He should have made his price rises by the time 317 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: he gets back, let's face it. The issue that I 318 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: think is more pressing is John Bateman. He's had a 319 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: wrist injury or preseason, so we're not quite sure where 320 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: he's at, and he's been named I believe in Jersey 321 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: nineteen or eighteen for this weekend. He might be placed 322 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure on him. I don't think 323 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: he's going to play eighty minutes. I think we'll be 324 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,599 Speaker 1: getting fifty to sixty start. I still think he's a 325 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: great buy. Just want to play devil's advocate here. 326 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, leave me out. John Bateman, I think his days 327 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: has been an URL player and truly behind him. Say 328 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: that does worrying it all with Luki Kenny. 329 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: You're not worried about Kenny that he scored eighteen. Yeah, 330 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: neither of my so far Longo is he in? You 331 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: have to get have the Kinni Farlongo combo at fullback 332 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: or at flex. 333 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. How do you not have the fullback of the 334 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 2: Melbourne Storm at five hundred k and your team? It's 335 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: just chilly like you've got to have him in. I 336 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: don't ever think at fullback in Melbourne Storm. I argue 337 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: with the best team in the competition, you know, score 338 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: a lot of points. 339 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: So Toby Couchman currently have him just a little bit 340 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: worried that he won't be able to keep up his 341 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: minutes from last year. But I reckon he's eleven points 342 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: underpriced when you take into account the injury effect of 343 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: games plus the new scoring system benefits him so much. 344 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: With the new tackle stats, I agree there's quite a 345 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 2: few good buys there. At front row he does have Jewelo, 346 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: which is a positive, but there's a lot of middle 347 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: forwards on that bench Hamel. He's there a lot of 348 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 2: guys there that shoulder injury worries me. Turky's shoulders can linger. Yeah, 349 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: she cops a few hits there, so that's got me worried. 350 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to bait him, just because there's 351 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: so many other buys there as your second front row. 352 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: You could go to Trey Mooney, for example, who is cheaper. 353 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: I believe he got Hopgod, he's really popular too. So 354 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: many options at front row, So yeah, I'm gonna currently 355 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: have him, but I'm going to have a good hard 356 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: look at Toby Koutchman. 357 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 3: Yep this afternoon. 358 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 1: Hamie Stewart is a guy who I probably like more. 359 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: Is a fair bit cheaper named a start at lock. 360 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: So he's got Jack de Bellen spot from last year. 361 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Hopefully that means Jack de Bellen minutes around fifty odd minutes. 362 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: He only averaged thirty eight minutes last year, so you've 363 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: got twelve more minutes on field. 364 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: At his PPM. 365 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: It's about a team more points, plus the new scrowing 366 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: system is. 367 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 3: Breaking his pretty good bye. 368 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 2: I like ham His Steward a lot. There's just so 369 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: many good buys there. Background. I don't know if I 370 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: can fit him in just unless I go on into 371 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: the flex. But I'm not ken on Calm Punger now. 372 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: So I want to get him in just because he's 373 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: he's definitely he's definitely got super Coach points in him. 374 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: He knows what price he used to just interview now, yeah, yeah, 375 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 2: told me, yeah, yeah yeah, Hamy Stewart. If I were 376 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 2: to get him it, I have to go down from 377 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: Cameron Murray. We'll wait and see. 378 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: Actually, now that you mentioned that interview that he knows 379 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: his super Coach price, he's going to be thinking about 380 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: it while he's playing. So this could be a clincher 381 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: in your super coach teams. The fact that Hamy Stewart 382 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: is thinking about making that extra tackle means that you. 383 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 2: Should bring him into your to and that extra yeah, oh. 384 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: That makes me want him even more. Let's move on 385 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: to the cheapies. Some tough calls here. So obviously you've 386 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: got guys like Peasant too, and I think cli Fay 387 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: Marni are locked in. I think you've got three cheapies 388 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: this weekend who I'm going to lock in. So I've 389 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: got Setu too, I think is a must. With his 390 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: work rate, you can almost play him on a lot 391 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: of weeks. I won't this week against the Dogs, but 392 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: I will on a lot of weeks. 393 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 3: Who the other guy's Tom Chester? 394 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: Do you reckon he is a buyer because you have 395 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: to make that decision this weekend. 396 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent. He's two hundred and sixteen k 397 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: guaranteed to be there for the first two rounds. Really 398 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: has to play two bad games to lose your spotlight. 399 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 2: And I don't think he's going to be like he's 400 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 2: got a lot of talent. If he plays three good games, 401 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 2: how are you going to take him out of that? 402 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: You know, and good matchup as well up against the Knights, 403 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: so you know, he could easily score a try maybe 404 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: two this weekend, which is what I'm hoping for. 405 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 3: Is he in your seventeen this weekend? 406 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 2: I'm thinking of it. I've got Sadu tou in there 407 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 2: at the moment, just because you can break tackles and 408 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 2: there's always a lot of points scored in Vegas. It'll 409 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: be him or the Titans winger who I look to 410 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: play my seventeen. 411 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm going to play Chester. Yeine. He's 412 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: got a really good base too. He's pretty safe Macassin. 413 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: He was so good in the trials. 414 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: Is he in for you know? He doesn't play around one. 415 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that would be chilly not to pick 416 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: him in their team. Just have him and Taylor may on. 417 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 2: That edge is just so much strike. 418 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: So yeah, I said this in the pod yesterday, but 419 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: every comment on social media of that try that he 420 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: scored where his steamrolled Dylan Edwards was this guy looks 421 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: like Joan Olomu. It might be a little bit over 422 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: the top, it's not that different. 423 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: He's only going to get better too. He's eighteen years old, 424 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 2: he's still not done growing yet. 425 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 3: He's going to put on at least six. 426 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: Oh jeez, this bas got some ability. 427 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: Brandon Smith I mentioned today Pete Bdell's got the story. 428 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 1: It's up on the site now confirmed for that hooker 429 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: spot there at the Rabbitos. 430 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: So I like it. I've been off. 431 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 1: Look, he's been really popular all season and I've been 432 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,239 Speaker 1: talking him down. But since I've watched him in that 433 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: final trial where he got forty eight super Coach points, 434 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: started play decent minutes. It was a fair bit of 435 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: it was in base. There were thirty odd tackles in there. 436 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: There was that linebreak assist that you spoke about, but 437 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: it was a lot of it was just pure base. 438 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 3: So I like what I saw from him. He'll be 439 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 3: in for me. 440 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just going to fight him if we Wellah's named. 441 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 2: I just think he's a better option and he's way 442 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 2: less owned. 443 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: Cooper Bye is an interesting one. I'm seeing a lot 444 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: of teams without Cooper Buyer right now. The main reason 445 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: being I think people still think that he's a good purchase, 446 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: just that there's so many other good purchases there in 447 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 1: the back row. 448 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 2: Yep, that's exactly why I don't know my team. I 449 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: just can't fit him in. 450 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: There. 451 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: Too many purchases there, even Amy's Stewart, you know talking 452 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: about earlier. 453 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: So his issue is, look, I actually think if you're 454 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: looking at raw talent and eye test, he's arguably the 455 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: best or one of the best buyers there in the 456 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: back row. He just looks so good every time he plays. 457 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: The issue is that I think it's going to be 458 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: a slow burn for him. We'll be looking at with 459 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: no attacking stats. We'll be looking at thirties most week 460 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,360 Speaker 1: most weeks, which is fine, but when you've got other 461 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: guys who are just going to chant through a bit 462 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: more than that. Yeah, he's the first guy you leave out. 463 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he's definitely got a lot more raw talent 464 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: than like a Josh Patson does on the same team. 465 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 2: Patson's locked into that role there, So yeah, you know, 466 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: maybe we can always go down to Combe some stays 467 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 2: throughout the year if he does punch out those thirties 468 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: and you know, we don't miss the boat on him. 469 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: The other forward chiep is that people seem to be 470 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: going a little bit cold on his Tanyella perseca. But 471 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: he was all right in the troll. Can you read 472 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 1: into this? I mean, the sea looked horrid, but Peca 473 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: looked okay. Look, he's done nothing to show me that 474 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: he should be out of the side. And of course 475 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: he's played so many Aneral games, have been around for 476 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: so long that we know what he can produce. And 477 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: you know, just looked looked pretty fit after a serious 478 00:20:59,200 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: achilles injury. 479 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why people are going cut on 480 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,479 Speaker 2: per second. That doesn't make much sense to me at 481 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: or like he's a just a great plug there at 482 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 2: your third or fourth front row. He might take a 483 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: few games kip going just because he's been off the 484 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 2: scene for so long, but we've seen that his peak 485 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: he averages about fifty five to sixty, so he's well 486 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 2: under priced. 487 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: And Guilty Pleasure, who's the player that you shouldn't buy 488 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: but you can't help your. 489 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: Kayalen Ponger Man. Yeah it's Kayln Ponger. 490 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 3: I know. 491 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: I know the risk, but I know the upside as well, 492 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: big and goals and just to put the cherry on top, 493 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: I think I'm going to put the VC on him 494 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: this week. 495 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, good call. 496 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: My guilty Pleasure is along the same lines as full back. 497 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: It's Scott drink Water and he's not my Ponger. He's expensive, 498 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: he's one of the best players from last year. He's 499 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 1: scored the second most Super Coach points of any player 500 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: in the last two seasons. Only Teddy has scored more. 501 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: He's got a great schedule to start the year. I 502 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: just look at the schedules and I look at anyone 503 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: who's going to get off to an absolute flow this season, 504 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: and it is Scott drink Water. Even though he's down 505 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: a fair bit on the new scoring system, I think 506 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: the schedule makes up for it. In the fact Vegas 507 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: there's lots of points there. Hopefully it's a bit faster 508 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: game this year, which suits the fullbacks, so it all 509 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: comes out in the wash. 510 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 3: Really, I think it's Got Drink Water. You know. 511 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: If there's going to be one guy who goes nuts 512 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: in the first couple of rounds, it's him. The issue 513 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: is is a lot costs a lot of money, and 514 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: it's not just one player in and out. I have 515 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: to make a whole bunch of It's about three or 516 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: four different players that I have to get rid of 517 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: to get him in. 518 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: I like the play just because not many people will 519 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 2: go for it, just because of how expensive he is 520 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: and the other buyers there at fullback. He'll definitely be 521 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 2: my team at some point. As you said, he's just 522 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 2: so consistent every year, doesn't play Origin, rarely scores low anymore. 523 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: He used to be that Rox and Diamond sort of player, 524 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: but now he really really goes low goalkicks now as well. 525 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's hard to knock any Got Drink Water plays. 526 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 3: Right pot of the year. You're the podmaster on this show, 527 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 3: who are you thinking? 528 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: Well, some people my thing has been biased, But I 529 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 2: think Jesse Rayman is going to have a massive year 530 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 2: Beezy impressed me in this preseason, and I wonder why 531 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: it's his contract year. Ye maybe he's trying to get 532 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: that Vicky from the Perth Bears. Jez. 533 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: He just looks in the. 534 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 2: Shape of his life. He was running the ball a lot. 535 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: They were going right a lot to the Sharks. He's 536 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: about two hundred k cheaper than an arrow as well, 537 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 2: in the same team that's going to score a lot 538 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: of points. Only three tries last year as well, So 539 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 2: I reckon he's about a dollar one to improve on that, 540 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 2: and he's five hundred thousand. He's definitely about one hundred 541 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: and fifty thousand underpriced. And if he gets onto what 542 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: start early, you can almost switch him for Era at 543 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 2: the same price. 544 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: Titans in round one two and they'll be rolling out 545 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: of a fresh center pearing. 546 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: So it could be some points there. I like that one. 547 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 1: I've got to I think part of the year has 548 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: to be Fletcher Sharp. Yesterday when the team came out 549 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: that he was at five eight, he was one point 550 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: seven percent. 551 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 3: I thought he'd go up to maybe four or five percent. 552 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: By now he's only had two point six percent, So 553 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: obviously people don't want to pay up the big money 554 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: for him. The knock on him, of course, apart from 555 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: the cash, is that he's probably priced at his peak. 556 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: He was so good last year, it's like, you know, 557 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: how does he improve on that? But equally good matchup 558 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys start. You're going nuts in Vegas. Just 559 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: love watching him sport up the middle, plays like a 560 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: fullback even though he's got six on his back and 561 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: no one's got him. 562 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 3: Fullback's a wastelam. 563 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: Everyone's going Cody Walker, Cody breaks, and then you've got 564 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Fletcher Sharp's coming in. 565 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 3: And killing it. 566 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, well you can always you're having there at season 567 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 2: and he just never let your side the whole year. 568 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 569 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: Well, I mean he's got a pretty big injury history's Yeah, 570 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: and he actually got ruled out of the final trial 571 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: with that hamstring too, so that's that. 572 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 3: Is also a worry. 573 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, but let's say he plays the whole year, You're 574 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: not going to trade him out for anyone. Like he's 575 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 2: probably the number one option there. 576 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 1: He probably ends the season as the top average guy 577 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: in that slot. 578 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 579 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just a wasteland as you said. 580 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, what are your thoughts? Nico? 581 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: Heines at eleven percent, I think is a decent option 582 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: with a good daughter. 583 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 2: Still, Oh, I didn't think Nico was a pod at all. 584 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 2: I thought he's in most teams. He's looked great. He 585 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 2: you know, he's Nicko, heins, he accumulates a lot of 586 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 2: points to Sharks have a soft draw early. Yeah, he's 587 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 2: in my team and I'll definite think about captain him 588 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 2: on Sunday. 589 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: So the what's happened I think here is that nick 590 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: everyone's gone from Nico Sam Walker. Yeah, Sam Walker was 591 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: in barely any teams, then came out in the trial 592 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: next to DCE, who played a supporting role, banged out 593 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve super coach points. He's gone from 594 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: being a pod up to basically seventeen percent ownership. 595 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: Now that's wild. 596 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 3: So do you like Walker? 597 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 2: I do. I drafted him, so hopefully he is in 598 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 2: for a big year. But I think Nicko is a 599 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 2: much better pick than Sam Walker. Them injury history isn't 600 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: the best, same as Sharp. You know, he scored one 601 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: hundred and twelve. DC sort of played that second fiddle role. 602 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: But it's a trial. Let's see unfolds on game day, 603 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: so I can't knock anyone. Go on, Sam Walker. But 604 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 2: at seventeen percent, that's getting pretty high. 605 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, definitely not a pot anymore. Finally, captains, what 606 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 3: are you thinking around one? 607 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 2: Over the last few years, I've got it wrong and 608 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 2: I've just got captains that have banged out like a 609 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 2: thirty or forty. So I think I'm just going to 610 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 2: go safe this year. I'll chuck the VC on Pongo 611 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 2: and hope for a big score because I need to 612 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: get a VC early because paying Hass plays next Friday, 613 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 2: so it's one of the early games. Yeah, I'm just 614 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 2: going to chuck it on paint Ass and just play 615 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 2: it safe. 616 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going boring to Payne haass Is at thirty 617 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: four percent. I actually thought he'd be a little bit 618 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: higher than to be honest, and it may change next week. 619 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 1: A lot of people probably haven't even looked at that 620 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: in their team yet. VC on Drink Water if I 621 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: end up getting him, I think is an absolute lock. 622 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 1: And of course a lot of people are going to 623 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: have Macacini, so he'll be your non player for the. 624 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 3: VC loopstart the season. 625 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: So VC on Drinking and I'm going to go boring 626 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: on us at thirty four percent. But could you be 627 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: tempted by just looking through this list. Clearly eight point 628 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: six percent clear against Ronx. 629 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: No no chance I could matchup. 630 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: But he loves playing against the Broncos. 631 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah he does. I can't believe you've got That's 632 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: a different story. I could be on Nicico as well. Yeah, 633 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: on Sunday against the Titans. As you said, fresh pair 634 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: of Santas at Shark Park. No one else really bends 635 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 2: out at all. David Fieda maybe would be a nice 636 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: little pod as a captain. 637 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: We got Tedesco at five point seven percent, so it 638 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: looks they're up against the wires. So basically everyone who 639 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: owns Tesco is chucking the sea on it. Fair enough, Yeah, 640 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: Herbie Farnworth at four point four percent, don't quite get. 641 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 3: That one, to be honest. 642 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, Lean of that. 643 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: Drink water at four point three percent. Do not Captain 644 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: Scott drink water. You can use the VC loops, check. 645 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: The VC on it. That is it. 646 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: Our last word to Vegas the Preview podcast, Big thanks 647 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: to Jet. 648 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 3: We'll be back next week. So
