1
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Hello, super coaches, What a crazy, crazy team's day to

2
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: start twenty twenty six.

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,799
Speaker 2: The Vegas sides are in.

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: There was only four of them announced, but jeez, they

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: packed some drama into those four sides. Lectra Sharpe was

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: out that he was in, then he was out that

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: he was in. Eventually he is in at five eight.

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: It was similar with Trey Mooney. He was benched and

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: he was starting, bench starting, he's starting. So good news

10
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: on both those two. Wilson Smith pretty wide little.

11
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: Afternoon mate, I've been chopping and changing my team all

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: afternoon based on some male coming in that certain players

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: yet that we thought were in were suddenly out, and

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 3: then come team's day, they are named. So yeah, I've

15
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: been making changes all afternoon.

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: You went live with your team.

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: Oh he didn't go live, but you prepared your team

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: reveal with eleven changes. About what midday today? Has anything

19
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: changed since then?

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: Well, things did change, but then they unchanged. Luckily I

21
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: don't have to change anything.

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: It's a roguemail flying around absolutely everywhere. But what's your

23
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from the teams today?

24
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: I think my biggest takeaway is Trey Mooney is actually starting,

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: Like you just said we had some male coming through

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: that it looked like he was actually going to miss out,

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: which I think he's in like thirty six percent of

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: teams or something like that, so we're pretty massive if

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 3: he was out, and a lot of people would have

30
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: basically had to have moved on if he was coming

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: off the bench, I think. But luckily he is named

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: to start, so I think I'm just going to stick

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 3: with him.

34
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: Just one of I think four really good mid ranges

35
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: that got confirmed today. We'll get to the others in

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: a set. But Hami, shetwart Hill and Luki and another

37
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: one both look really good as well.

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: For me.

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Biggest takeaway Fletcher Sharp coming in at five eight for

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: the nights. Now, this question has been up in the

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: air for the entire pre season has been answered with

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: Fletcher Sharp in the sixth jersey. He had the top

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 1: average in that position last year. He's basically unaffected by

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the new scoring system, which is rare because basically every

45
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: five eight is losing four or five six percent. So

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: I really like him at one point seven percent ownership currently,

47
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: He's a massive pod.

48
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, no massive pod and arguably the best five eight

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: at the position. The only issue I have is that

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: he is the most expensive at the position as well,

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: and so if I had extra cash, I would definitely

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 3: take a look at him. And people who in the

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: past few days have done their drafts will be absolutely

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: cheering if they took him, because I think lots of

55
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: draft legs you would have been able to get some

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: pretty good value out of him, So now they'd be

57
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: absolutely cheering.

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going to go really high in drafts now.

59
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: In terms of this weekend, he did get ruled out

60
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: of the final trial with a hamstring injury, so that's

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 1: something to watch as well. He is quite an injury

62
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: prome player. It certainly comes with risk this trade, but

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: you know a lot of people are going really light

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: on at five eight with someone like Cody Walker and

65
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Jonah Peazant in the second slot, so it's a spot

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: where you can get a real jump on people.

67
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think because of the perceived lack of

68
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: options at five to eight, most people are just going

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: with Jonah Pezzitt and Cam Munster or you know, some

70
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 3: sort of combination there. So you could be in for

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: a massive win if you do deviate, because most people

72
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: will just go with that approach.

73
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: This also means that Dylan Brown plays half back, so

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: he will not get your position for super coach. I

75
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: hate to say we told you so, but back in

76
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: November December, when we're putting the positions together, we got

77
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: canned for only having him as a half back super coach.

78
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: But he's been named there for any one.

79
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: It's nice to get a win every now and then.

80
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: We're going to get any apologies in the mail you.

81
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: I doubt it, very highly doubted.

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Okay, other big storylines coming out of today, Jacob Krraz named.

83
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: Do you like him?

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: He's up four percent on the new scoring system, but

85
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: that buy in round two?

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do really like him still, and I like

87
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 3: the going big on senta wing approach, but I have

88
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 3: the cash to go Herbie and the buy in round

89
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 3: two is slightly annoying, so I think for that reason alone,

90
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: I will not go him round one. But he is

91
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 3: a pretty low ownership, so I wouldn't blame anyone who

92
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 3: does just go start the year with him because I

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: don't think he can really go wrong. But I think

94
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: if you've got the cash, there's other really good options

95
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 3: there that don't have the buy in round two.

96
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: I think I prefer Herbie Farnworth, kale Iroea and Latrelle

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: and I've probably only got enough room for three gun

98
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: guys at Sanawing, so I've got those ahead.

99
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'll be.

100
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: Watching him and probably closing my eyes at stage just

101
00:04:59,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: because he is such good.

102
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 2: The coach playoff.

103
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: Jamai McEwen starting, so that's great because in games of

104
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: over fifty minutes last year he averaged fifty five.

105
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: Could even play eighty minutes this year. Piss Paul's gone.

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: It's good news.

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: We've just got so many mid rangers in the Ford

108
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: pack this year.

109
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he Jami McEwen is someone who had been

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: in my team for most of the preseason when we

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 3: thought he was going to start, and then there was

112
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: some suggestion that Thomas Cant would start over him, so

113
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: he was out of my team a few weeks ago,

114
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: but I brought him back in and yeah, there's so

115
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: many good mid range forwards and he's one of those

116
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: solid options.

117
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 4: I think.

118
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: Let's talk about another one.

119
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: Hamish Stewart so named on the bench in the trials,

120
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: then he's been named starting that lock spot vacated by

121
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: Jack Debellen. So another awesome mid ranger is a tackle boy.

122
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: Just guess through so much work. He's up four point

123
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: six percent on the new systems, which obviously suits guys

124
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: who are pure workers.

125
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: The minutes should be up.

126
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: He's well over a point per minute in Supercoach, so

127
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: if he plays sixty minutes looking at basically a keeper

128
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: from a mid range.

129
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: Price, Yeah, he's He's the guy that I've been trying

130
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: to fit into my team after we saw that he

131
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: was named. I've been trying all afternoon to try and

132
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 3: get him into my team. I can't afford him and

133
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: Jesse Colhern, so I'm going to have to make some

134
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: sort of call there. But I think I may even

135
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: lean Hamish Stewart Now, I think under the new scoring

136
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 3: system he makes a ton of tackles, So he's I

137
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: think he's going to be a big winner. And yeah,

138
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: just we're kind of spoilt for choice with all the

139
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: mid range forwards.

140
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, Karen Murray is on thin ice

141
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: for sakes, paradise with all these guys popping up today. Yeah,

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: so I could go a little bit cheaper with someone

143
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: like Hamys Stewart or the next guy on our list,

144
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: Helum Luky. We knew it was going to happen, but

145
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: named to start on an edge for the Cowboys.

146
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: It's huge news.

147
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: And the stat on him, which I will get for

148
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: you in a second, is that we've got sixty seven

149
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: points in that final trial with a try, which is

150
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: really good. With forty odd in base plus, he averaged

151
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: sixty one over his career, He's averaged sixty one in

152
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: games over sixty.

153
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: Minutes, so another really good purchase. Which one are we

154
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: going to pick?

155
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to lean with him for now,

156
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: but Jez, I really want both him and Hamish Stewart

157
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: in my team. I'm gonna I think I'm just going

158
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 3: to have to figure out a way to do it.

159
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 3: I may have to like downgrade like account Kolomitungy to

160
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 3: a Toby couch Mun or something to free up with

161
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: just a little bit more cash because I'm only like

162
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: nine thousand dollars off being able to go Calhoun straight

163
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 3: to Hamish Stewart. So yeah, I'm just I think I

164
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 3: just have to get them both in.

165
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: There's so much happening in the back row.

166
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: We don't know if Losardi's going to be scoring that

167
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 1: right edge back row sport Joe Chan played that sport

168
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: in the trial, so man, he's better option you've got. Honestly,

169
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: there's thirteen guys a back row that I'd be very

170
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: happy with in my team. Our cheap's all got named,

171
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: which is news Tom Chester to Daniel Atkinson, super coach. Plus,

172
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: you have a free trial right now, so get in there,

173
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: fiddle around, look at the projections, work out your captains,

174
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: the most popular players, all that sort of stuff. I'm

175
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: sure the most popular players will change big time over

176
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: the next few days leading into Vegas, so keep an

177
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: eye on that. Plus we've got content everywhere. Wilson's draft

178
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: rankings are going absolutely gangbusters, and we're just reflecting before

179
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: on how big draft has gotten.

180
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so good to see just how how popular

181
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: draft has gotten in the last few years. It's come

182
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 3: so far, and it's great to see the draft content

183
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 3: doing so well.

184
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we used to get paid out for your draft

185
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: content saying what is this ruishs just going out?

186
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: Now?

187
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: It's fine, indeed, So check out the new section of

188
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: the app for anything there. Okay, Night to Be Cowboys

189
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: is the first match at the Knights. Is there any

190
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: love for cayleb Ponger? Whatsoever. It was actually really popular.

191
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: At the start of the preseason, he was in the

192
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: top ten most popular players. Then of course missed all

193
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: the trials that injury, coming off a pretty serious injury.

194
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: He is a little bit underpriced, but the scoring system

195
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: doesn't suit him either. He's down seven point seven percent

196
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: at least with sand and Smith on the bench. This

197
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: week he probably kicked goals. But I just can't see

198
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: a world where I would bring klum Ponger into my team.

199
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

200
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: I like he does tick a lot of boxes, and

201
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: the fact that Sam and Smith is not in the

202
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: starting side, yeah, I do think helps him with the goalkicking.

203
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: But I just think that for me, there's so many

204
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 3: other fullbacks that I think I would rather have in

205
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: my team. Kaylen Ponger would be like my maybe just

206
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: off the top of the head, but like my sixth

207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: or seventh choice. So I do like him, and I

208
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: like a lot of fullbacks, but I think there's just

209
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: a lot of other guys that I would rather have

210
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: in my team.

211
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a guy who is playing against on the

212
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: weekend I'd probably rather have in Scott drink Water gets

213
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: him in a second. Fletcher Sharp at five eight, Big news,

214
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: Trey Mooney starting again, Big news. Jamai mccuwit. We've basically

215
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: run through all but Thomas can't. There was a chat

216
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: that he he started in the back round in the

217
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: trials and kicked goals a little bit, which I was

218
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: excited about.

219
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: But that won't happen.

220
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: He's on the bench, so definitely put the line through

221
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: that onto the Cowboys. I mentioned him just before Scotty Drinkwater.

222
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: I really want to make this happen because I look

223
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: at the guys who could get off to a flyer

224
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: this season, and Scott Drinkwater is number one on my list.

225
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: He's got such an easy draw to start the year.

226
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: The issue is that he's minus five point nine on

227
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: the new scoring system, so he's losing four or five

228
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: points per game. I think he negates that with a

229
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: really strong draw to start the year. Chuck the VC

230
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: on him in Vegas. I really want to make this happen.

231
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: It's much safer to stack the pack. We know that

232
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: because they get all their points from tackles, which we

233
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: know are up on the new system. Much safer to

234
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: do that. But there is a devil on my shoulder

235
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: telling me to get Scott drink Water into the team.

236
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

237
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: I had him in my team for literally the entire

238
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: preseason until like two weeks ago, when I just I made.

239
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 3: I made a bunch of other moves that I needed

240
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: cash for, so I did the safe thing and I

241
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 3: downgraded Scott drink Arter to ASAO, and I use that

242
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: cash to improve.

243
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: A bunch of other positions.

244
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: So I'm happy with the move that I made, But

245
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 3: I still want Scott drink Water in my team's so bad.

246
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: But to be able to afford him now, I would

247
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: have to do some downgrades that I don't really want

248
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: to do. But yeah, I agree, he's got a great

249
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: start of the year, and I think in the trials.

250
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: I think in the second trial against the Panthers, he

251
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: scored like one hundred and six.

252
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: Or something, which fairly any game time.

253
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there wasn't much base in it.

254
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 3: It was a lot of creative but I think he

255
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: showed that, you know, he's he's so influential in their

256
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: attack that he can still score big under the new

257
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: scoring system. So I wouldn't if anyone's like on the fence,

258
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: I would just be happy to lock him in.

259
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: But I just can't Afford him right now.

260
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: Kicking goals as well in the trial, and Clifford was

261
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: playing in that troll too, So he's got the goal

262
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: kicking duties ahead of Clifford, and his record as a

263
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: goalkicker is actually sneakily good and over his career it

264
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: is much better than Glifford. I don't have the stats

265
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: of my but it's something like eight percent in goal

266
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: kicking is significant. So if you are worried about him

267
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: losing the goal kicking judies, which I've heard spoken about

268
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: a lot in super coach circles, I don't think it's

269
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: going to happen.

270
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: Highly unlikely.

271
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: Tom Chester great to see him named good cheapie. The issue,

272
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: of course is job security. They've got Zach lab due

273
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: back in round three. But the male even early in

274
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: the preseason was that Chester would win this spot. It's

275
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: his spot to lose. Really, I'm not too worried about

276
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: the job security. If he loses his spot, like who cares,

277
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: He'll probably play a fair bit of an aer role

278
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: this year.

279
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 2: He's a utility. He can cover lots of positions.

280
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: One injury and he can come in and play wing

281
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: or center or even fullback as well.

282
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, the male.

283
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, like you said, the male before the pre season

284
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 3: was that he had won it, and Labor did have

285
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 3: a really impressive preseason, so it wouldn't have shocked me

286
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: that if he would have started over Chester if not

287
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: for the suspension.

288
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, I think a big game.

289
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 3: In Vegas with a good matchup, I think he basically

290
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: just holds onto that spot indefinitely and he's he is

291
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: a potential starting option in Vegas because I think it's

292
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 3: a good matchup.

293
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: For him on to Reid Marnie. So I've been hot

294
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: on him all pre season, mainly thinking that he would

295
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: play eighty minutes and get back to what he did

296
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: in the Dogs.

297
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 2: At the Dogs rather in.

298
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: Four twenty four, twenty twenty three, it's pretty crazier. Yeah,

299
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: but they got Sonny Luke on the bench, not just

300
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: on the in the nineteen, but number fourteen on the bench,

301
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: which shows that Marni won't play eighty minutes.

302
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: So for me, I've put a line through him.

303
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: I'm instead going to go with Brandon Smith, who I

304
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: think is looking pretty good to start at nine for

305
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: the Rabbit as he started there in the trial, so

306
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: it makes sense that he would start the season.

307
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: There got a pretty good Super.

308
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: Super Go score there too, forty eight points, almost all

309
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: in base but just a linebreak assist in there.

310
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

311
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I still have Read Marne in my team.

312
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: I'm I have accepted that he's most likely not going

313
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 3: to play eighty minutes. There's a chance that Sonny Luke

314
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: comes on and maybe Read Marne stays in the middle

315
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: and just makes a bunch of tackles, but I think

316
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 3: it's kind of unlikely. I'm sort of just expecting him

317
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 3: to play sixty minutes, which with how well he played

318
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: in their trial match, I still think with sixty minutes

319
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: he could be decent. But yeah, there's definitely some concerns

320
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: that I've still gotten from now, and I'm starting to

321
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 3: I've been ant Randon Smith for the whole preseason, but

322
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 3: I'm starting to come around now because he did look

323
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: good the other day and it does look like he's

324
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: going to win that starting spot. So yeah, there may

325
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: be some changes to come from my team.

326
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been anti Brandon too, but apologies to him.

327
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I will be going with Brandon Smith

328
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: the season, which frees up a lot of cash Elsewhere.

329
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned that trial Reidman.

330
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: He got seventy points in that trial in very quite

331
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: limited minutes, only twenty five in base in that which

332
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: does worry me. So when he doesn't get the attacking

333
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: stats are we're going to see big price rises from him.

334
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: So it's a no for me.

335
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Onto the Doggies via the Dragons. Keraz is back into

336
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: that team.

337
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: Which is good.

338
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: He's plus four point one on the new system, but

339
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: of course with all these Bulldogs players, they do have

340
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the buy in round two. Any love for Stephen Crichton,

341
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: A lot of people are keen on him. The scoring

342
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: system suits him. He's got his plus five point four.

343
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: He switched sides as well, so he's gone from the

344
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: right to the left where he's got kickout in Look,

345
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: he played a fair bit of fullback last year in attack,

346
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: even though he was named at center, which probably skews

347
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: his stats a little bit.

348
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: Look, he's kicking goals.

349
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: He kicked goals in front of Matt Burton Junior Trial,

350
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: so we know he's going to kick goals. There's a

351
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: lot to like, but as I said before, I've got

352
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: a few guys ahead like farm Worth Hero what's roll.

353
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I definitely agree there's a lot to like,

354
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: and he has a like, you know, a pretty solid base,

355
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: and he has a lot of attacking upside as well,

356
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: sometimes playing in a bit of a full back role

357
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: in attack, and that left edge is going to be

358
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: pretty exciting for the Bulldogs this year. So you know,

359
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 3: he's a high upside player that's like relatively safe. So

360
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: I don't hate it, but yeah, I just have several

361
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 3: other guys ahead of him. It's sort of similar to

362
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: kiraz in that I think he can't really go wrong

363
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: with them, but the buy in round two plus just

364
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: a few guys ahead of them ends I'm just not

365
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: going to go there for now.

366
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a no for me, but very good

367
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: draft purchase. And he's going a bit lower than I

368
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: would expect onto my Dragons who have got set to

369
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: to into the team. He got sixty in base in

370
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: the final trial. There are a gazillion tackle busts in there, offloads,

371
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: work rates, huge seventeen runs in there. So he is

372
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: a guy who you could play in your seventeen on

373
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot of weeks. I don't know if I will

374
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: do it against the Bulldogs or a really good defensive team,

375
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: but he is a bloke who, even if he doesn't

376
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: score tries, could get you a half tone relatively easy.

377
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

378
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 3: From what we saw in the trial, is a very

379
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 3: super coach friendly game, a bit of a tackle busting machine.

380
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, just lock him in as a purchase. You

381
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 3: have to have him in your team. I won't be

382
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 3: starting him for Vegas either, just I think it's a

383
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 3: rough matchup. But I do think he could still very

384
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 3: go well in this game. And yeah, I think he's

385
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: going to be you know, assuming he stays in the side,

386
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: he'll be in the Cheapie of the Year conversation.

387
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 4: I think by the end of the.

388
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: Year, big time. Daniel Atkinson has been named. Flanno told

389
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: us in.

390
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: Like October, but he was maybe not October, but a

391
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: long time ago he was going to be the half back.

392
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: He locked it in very very early, and Flano is

393
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 1: a man to his word. He has Atkinson has been named.

394
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: Now the big question is, first of all, are you

395
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: running two cheapis at halfback? I hope you say no,

396
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: definitely not just don't do that.

397
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: I was running with that for a little bit, but yeah,

398
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: it's just such a risky strategy and I think definitely

399
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: lock in one of him or Atkinson, but one of

400
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: him Sanders. Yeah, but I would be leaning Atkinson, but

401
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 3: pair him with a gun halfback, not another cheapie.

402
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: Though there were two phases for me. At the start

403
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: of the pre season.

404
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: There were no cheapies, particularly, there were no at CTW,

405
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: so I had two cheapis at halfback.

406
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: That changed pretty quickly.

407
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: Then the new scoring system was announced and the stats said,

408
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, half backs had dropping.

409
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: Someone dropp him by nine percent.

410
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: So I'm like, oh, I don't want to stack the

411
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: half pack slot, so I'll put two cheapies in there.

412
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 2: Then I'm also like, if the half back spot.

413
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: Is so disadvantaged by this new scoring system, how are

414
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: they going to make money? So I'm going with a

415
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: gun and one of Atkinson or Sanders.

416
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: I think it's Atkinson.

417
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: I think his job security is good because Flanagan has

418
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: backed him since October or whenever it was, whereas I

419
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: can see a world where the Raiders have a bit

420
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: of a tough start to the year and Sanders could

421
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: get dropped pretty easily. He's confirmed to kick goals though,

422
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: which is a big boost for him. I haven't seen

423
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: him trial as well, only we just saw twenty minutes

424
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: forty minutes for him in the trial.

425
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 2: It would make the decision a lot easier.

426
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

427
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 3: I think the fact that we didn't see anything from

428
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 3: them in the trials as well just makes it even

429
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: easier for me to just lock in Atkinson. And we've

430
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: only seen sort of limited glimpses of them running the

431
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 3: show in the past. But I think from what I

432
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 3: have seen in the past, I've been more impressed by Atkinson.

433
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 3: So if you have to pick one of them, I'd

434
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: be going with him.

435
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: From what we've seen from Atkinson's past stats, which is

436
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: a decent body of work, it's not a huge amount

437
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: of games. He should average forty five for the Dragons,

438
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: which is pretty solid. That's a two hundred k rise. Yeah.

439
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Can Sanders matched that maybe potentially, probably, But I think

440
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: we get a bit more certainty out of Atkinson for sure.

441
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: On two.

442
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: Toby Cauchman, I really like him, so I reckon he's

443
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: eleven points underpriced when you take into account the new

444
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: scoring system plus the injury affected games last year, So

445
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 1: he's in my side.

446
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really like him.

447
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: At the moment, I'm sort of tossing up whether I

448
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: go him or Keon, who is more expensive, but I

449
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: think has like a pretty high ceiling, so I want Keon,

450
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 3: who's also a bit of a pod. But I think

451
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 3: I'm really tempted by Couchman, and that trade would free

452
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 3: up some cash for me to make some other moves

453
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 3: that I really like. But yeah, I'm into Catchman.

454
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: I was a little bit worried by Keon.

455
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I had him at the start of the preseason, then

456
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: learned that he was getting knee surgery after the Ashes

457
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: and it was three months out. Then he played on

458
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: the weekend in the trial, limited minutes, but look really good,

459
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: have thirteen runs and just generally looked good. So I'm

460
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: kind of keen on him again. But he is expensive

461
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: and there are so many good mid ranges in the

462
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: pack this year, so I think I'm going to.

463
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: Have to fade him.

464
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Okay, that's it for teams, but we're going to run

465
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: through a little bit of the big news facing super

466
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: coaches for next week. Of course, only the Vegas teams lockout.

467
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: You can still have unlimited trades change your team however

468
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: much you want after Vegas games, so only lock in

469
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Let's say five players this weekend and

470
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: change your team as much as you want the big news.

471
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: I think the big story in Supercoach right now, and

472
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: we don't have an answer yet, is whether Lasarti will

473
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: be starting for the Storm. Joe Chan played on that

474
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: right edge spot of Elikatoa in the trial. Sean Blaud

475
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: didn't pay that game, so Losarti was on his side.

476
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: Then they've got liiro outsuspended for the first round. There's

477
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: so many moving partsy, I've got no idea what's going

478
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: to happen with Losardi.

479
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 3: To be honest, yeah, I had Lasardi in my team

480
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: for basically the whole preseason. He seemed like the logical

481
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 3: choice to replace Elie Katoa. But the whole situation is

482
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 3: so murky for me now because yeah, we've got Trent

483
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: Loero to come back in round three, and there's just

484
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 3: so much uncertainty. I'm completely off the whole scenario, and

485
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 3: I'm at the moment, I'm just not going to go

486
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 3: either him, either Losarti or Joe Chan if we we

487
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 3: won't know for a few weeks either, because you know,

488
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 3: it could very easily happen that they both start Round

489
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 3: one and then or Sean Blah comes back into the side,

490
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: and then Trent Lieira comes back in. Then someone's going

491
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: to drop out, but we won't know until round three,

492
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: so I'm just going to just avoid the whole scenario.

493
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, one guy who could go for is

494
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: Jacob Laban, who looks like he's won a starting edgeback

495
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: row spot at the Warriors in place of what could

496
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: have been like Ajalasima in that spot. Looks like they're

497
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: going to play leak at Halosimo off the bench is

498
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 1: a bit of a utility.

499
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: That's obviously a.

500
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: Big blow for Halosima because he was a really popular

501
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: super Coachs player at stages in the preseason. But Jacob

502
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: Lagan more of a sort of meat and potatoes zero

503
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: point eight zero point nine point per minute kind of

504
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: player at a decent price, and he.

505
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 2: Loved for him.

506
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 3: I haven't really looked at him, to be honest, because

507
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: he sort of just came out of nowhere.

508
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 4: But he is a cheaper option, and.

509
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: We've seen some decent minutes out of him in the past,

510
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 3: so he's someone I will definitely take a closer look at.

511
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: But I think we're just so spoilt for.

512
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: Choices with cheapis and mid rangers in the forward pack

513
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: that you know, there's plenty of options there, so I

514
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 3: don't think I will go there for now. And yeah,

515
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 3: I had look at Halasima in my team at stages

516
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: this preseason, but I think he is just an obvious

517
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: cell now and.

518
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, just got to get him out of your team exactly.

519
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Heavi Coat's achilles injury gone for ten weeks. I think

520
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: that's going to be eight weeks of the season. So

521
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: in the weekend in the trial, Hugo Peel, who was

522
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: originally named well out of the seventeen, came in and

523
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: played on the wing. Moses Leo, who was named on

524
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: the wing, played center. So you would think one of

525
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: those guys fills that spot for round one. Both of

526
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: them are in cheapy range. Hugo Peel, a lot of

527
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: people are saying he's not even added to Super Coach.

528
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: That's how sort of left field he may seem to

529
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: some people. But even really early in the preseason, guys

530
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: like Dave Ricky over writing Hugo Peel is in contention

531
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: for the fullback spot. He could get that fullback spot

532
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: over Sua far A Longo, who's been at the club

533
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: for quite a while and building to that spot was

534
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: clearly highly rated. So if Hugo Peel, for example, gets

535
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: that spot comes in a base price, which you will

536
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: with dual positioning because he is a fullback who would

537
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 1: be playing on the wing, is he an option with

538
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: the specter of Zach Lomacks hanging around that club.

539
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think he looked pretty good in the trial,

540
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 3: and he did score a try, but he also looked

541
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: quite raw. So for me, I just I don't think

542
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 3: that Craig Bellamy would go there unless he actually had to,

543
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: So I think I think it's an avoid for me

544
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: for now. Yeah, Like he could very well become a

545
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: cheapie at some point in the season, but I think

546
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 3: for now it's just someone to avoid.

547
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: There's plenty to watch at the Eels, so obviously Isaiah

548
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: YONGI is a little bit of drama surrounding him at

549
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: the moment to keep an eye on that. Check out

550
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: the website if you don't know what I mean. And

551
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: josh Ado Carr is out as well, so we'll see

552
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: a reshuffle back line. Don't think anyone will Bennett from

553
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: benefit rather from a super coach perspective at this stage.

554
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: The guy I want to talk to you about. Is

555
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: Hamasi Makassini so good in the trials, probably the player

556
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: of the trials. Is he locked in for a starting

557
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: spot there at the Tigers for their first game of

558
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 1: the year, which is in round two, yes, buying round one.

559
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 3: It's hard to know because they don't start because they

560
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: have the buy round one, so we won't know until

561
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: round two. And if you obviously, if you want him

562
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: in your team before then you have to kick him

563
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: before he's played. But he was the most impressive player

564
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: I watched basically every single preseason game, and he was

565
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,439
Speaker 3: by far the stand out of the whole tournament. He

566
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 3: was the Tiger's best players and best player in both games,

567
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: and he literally could not have done anything more to

568
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: win a starting spot, So I'd be pretty surprised. Obviously,

569
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 3: it's a bit of a risk, so I wouldn't blame

570
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 3: people if they opt to not start the season with him.

571
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 3: But I think even if he doesn't win it, he's

572
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 3: going to be a factor at some point this season.

573
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 3: So I'm just going to save myself a trade at

574
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: some point and just start the year with him.

575
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: Yep, he'll be in my team for Round one.

576
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 4: Most Yeah.

577
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, just watching him play every second. Comment you'd see

578
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: on social media is that he looked like Joanah Loomi.

579
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly.

580
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

581
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: I mean it's a fair enough comparison as well. So

582
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: if you look like Joane Olomi, you're good enough. Sex Paradise,

583
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Smith, he's looking good for that starting hooker role.

584
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: Keanu Kinney only eighteen.

585
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: Points in the final trial, which was a lot below

586
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: what we're expecting.

587
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 2: Has that affected your view of him?

588
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 4: No, not at all.

589
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: I still think he's so underprised for what he has

590
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 3: delivered in the past, so we know he can be

591
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: a big points scorer, and I just think he's so underprised.

592
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: And he only scored a team, but from what I

593
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,719
Speaker 3: saw in that trial, and he only played limited minutes,

594
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: but there was some very promising signs for the Titans

595
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: attack this year. And yeah, I'm not too concerned at all.

596
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: I think you've still got to lock him in.

597
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: How about Cody Walker? The old fellow wound back the

598
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: clock on the weekend. Three line breaks and a try

599
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: plus a bunch of tackle busts in there, which to

600
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: me shows that his running game is well and truly

601
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: back and that was the issue last year because he

602
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: had all those soft tissue injuries. Basically couldn't run, which

603
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: is not a good place to be and if you

604
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: are running five eight. But he did say in the

605
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: post match coverage it's his first proper preseason in three years.

606
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: He also said that he's going to have some fun

607
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: this year on that left hand side with Latrelle, Dave Feeder,

608
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: et cetera. Alex Johnson. So what three hundred and ninety

609
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: nine k is he an option in what is a

610
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: desolate five eight position?

611
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty the five eighth position is still really bleak,

612
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: and geez, he made my poor Seagles look very silly

613
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: on the weekend.

614
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 4: So many people are messaging maybe like don't.

615
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: Rush to buy your Grand Final tickets because it's gonna

616
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 3: be a long year for Manly fans. But yeah, Cody Walker.

617
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 3: Good to see him healthy again. And I think the

618
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 3: fact that he is fit and he looks really good

619
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: does make him tempting. But he is getting pretty old,

620
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: so you know, there's a very good chance that he

621
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 3: could pick up more injuries again throughout the season. But

622
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 3: at that price, I do think he is pretty tempting.

623
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 3: I won't be going there for now, but jesez it

624
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 3: would free up a lot of cash to upgrade elsewhere,

625
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,120
