Speaker 1: Hello, super Coaches, Welcome to the Preview podcasts. Around twenty three,
Speaker 1: Tom Sangster is busy at sipping pina coladas on the
Speaker 1: beaches of Fiji. So I'm running the show for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I'm joined by a former super Coach champion, Joe Nadaff.
Speaker 1: Joe has his team going.
Speaker 2: Next question, Yeah that last season twenty three K At
Speaker 2: the moment, I just find that every time I trade
Speaker 2: someone in, they get injured. The story of the year, Yeah,
Speaker 2: hearts and young add him for a week, then Lucas
Speaker 2: heading for two weeks, yep, and so on and so on.
Speaker 2: So it's very frustrating. But hopefully all the bad luck
Speaker 2: comes out this year. A couple of hits ahead competitions.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit alive in the bottom, mate, so
Speaker 2: bottom of the top, I should say. So we'll try
Speaker 2: I strike some strike some luck and turn.
Speaker 3: The order and then better luck next year. Right. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I had a not a bad week.
Speaker 1: I scored a crack sixteen hundred points last week, which
Speaker 1: was you know, normally would be a pretty good score,
Speaker 1: but it was just such a high scoring round that
Speaker 1: I actually dropped two hundred ranks. So I'm back sitting
Speaker 1: just outside the top two K, So that's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I really want to get inside the top one k
Speaker 1: this season, but doesn't look like it's just a bit
Speaker 1: hard to crack into the top At the moment.
Speaker 2: It was a crazy round. I mean, like I looped
Speaker 2: Herbie at one twenty two. I was scared of Niico
Speaker 2: heines obviously you could do anything. But watching the game
Speaker 2: at a half time, I couldn't believe it was on
Speaker 2: I think seventy. I'm like, how do you get to
Speaker 2: seventy without any trisyst But that's just you know, the
Speaker 2: season is having and there accumulates that had Brandon Smith
Speaker 2: as my emergency in four k Lero as well, So yeah,
Speaker 2: they looped into work out too well. So I mean
Speaker 2: every given a week one twenty two as a loop,
Speaker 2: you'll take it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, your eyes closed.
Speaker 2: But back into the year Nico on fire, Q on fire,
Speaker 2: it's insane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I ended up looping Herbie last week as well,
Speaker 1: which yeah, I agreed was one twenty two. I thought,
Speaker 1: that's that's a sole loop. I'll take that, And then
Speaker 1: the back of my mind I was like, maybe I
Speaker 1: should just keep the captaincy on Nico.
Speaker 3: But No.
Speaker 1: One two doubles say, but yeah, I mean nick I
Speaker 1: putting up the kind of numbers he is probably just
Speaker 1: like a locked in captain for them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, so.
Speaker 3: Are you making any trades this week?
Speaker 2: May make a big finish for Ki from the Dolphins.
Speaker 2: I just think he's based eighty the last two weeks
Speaker 2: without any attack, and he just looks l likely you've
Speaker 2: got Kata back and then just time in and he
Speaker 2: hits that ball. He hits the line so hard, So
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a tackle, but it's gonna come. And
Speaker 2: I think a lot of chat about Sammy Walker for
Speaker 2: me about Supercoach. The best best feeling about supercachs when
Speaker 2: you get somewhere before that big score. Yeah, but that's
Speaker 2: a semi walker. Last year, you feel like a million dollars.
Speaker 2: And I think it's finish this week. This week, I
Speaker 2: think something is big, big is coming. Good run. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's my trade. I've got hats and Young and Delan Lucas.
Speaker 2: I've got to palm off that many trades, so ye
Speaker 2: can't afford ol coat Saga gave and he's cheap. It's
Speaker 2: five seventy. I think it's mid forties break even so
Speaker 2: the price is good. Could wait a week, but I
Speaker 2: just think time is now.
Speaker 1: No, I'd like it in as well, like you said,
Speaker 1: cracking out eighties with out any attacking stats. And it's
Speaker 1: got the Broncos this week, whose edges have looked a
Speaker 1: little bit leaky, so I think the attacking stack could
Speaker 1: come this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Second trade is I'm going to wait for my
Speaker 2: guilty pleasure.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm undecided on my trades at the moment. I
Speaker 1: need to make one trade to get a full team
Speaker 1: on the park this week, but the only I don't
Speaker 1: have much cash, so I am probably going to have
Speaker 1: to trade out Dylan Edwards or Kale Hero, even though
Speaker 1: I would prefer not to. I just sort of have
Speaker 1: to add a necessity. But I'm still undecided on my trades.
Speaker 1: But Sam Walker considering bringing him in, even though not
Speaker 1: because of his score last week. I wouldn't bring him
Speaker 1: in for that, but I don't know. We'll have a
Speaker 1: look at it. Super Coach plus twenty nine to ninety
Speaker 1: five for the year really helpful this time of year.
Speaker 1: You get things like your red light green lights. You
Speaker 1: can get AI to help set team, You get access
Speaker 1: to play ownership, captaincy percentages. You can see who everyone's
Speaker 1: chucking the VC on. Very useful at this time of
Speaker 1: the year. Let's get into the Nogo zone. Who's your
Speaker 1: player to avoid this week?
Speaker 2: No notice? That isac Papali I think six on the
Speaker 2: list at the moment.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I bought him pre the last buy and c had
Speaker 2: him for one week and he got the hat try
Speaker 2: and he missed the whole bi week, so I've still
Speaker 2: got him. Like I said, he's scored just under on
Speaker 2: hundred last weekend, but it was his second game. Are
Speaker 2: in sixty minutes with sixty minutes and he come on
Speaker 2: with three minutes to go, got that try line break
Speaker 2: almost a second try as well, So it's a bit misskewed, yeah,
Speaker 2: because before they was on sixty points, they sort of
Speaker 2: junk junked about twenty five to thirty points with the
Speaker 2: likes of Luke hat I get there's not many options
Speaker 2: in a couple of guys on the buy from the
Speaker 2: Tigers Pileland and May. I just don't think it's as
Speaker 2: much of a slam dunk when you go something like
Speaker 2: finish Freaki for cheaper and so much more upside and
Speaker 2: guarantee his play eighty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no IPA for me, I definitely agree my no goo.
Speaker 1: I've got a few names here. I just mentioned him
Speaker 1: as a potential buyer, but Sam Walker, I think if
Speaker 1: you're buying him expecting him to get another two hundred points,
Speaker 1: I would not be doing that. I think I think
Speaker 1: he's a decent buy, But if you're buying him chasing
Speaker 1: last week's points, like that's just never a good idea.
Speaker 1: So if the reason that's you're getting him, I think
Speaker 1: it's a no going. But for me selling Terrell May,
Speaker 1: he's one of the most sold this week. He has
Speaker 1: been putting up decent numbers, not the best by his
Speaker 1: season standards, but scored eighty three still last week, and
Speaker 1: he's not injured. He's just on the buy this week.
Speaker 1: So for me, he being one of the top cells
Speaker 1: doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: Hundred percent, and you want upsides, So if you're in
Speaker 2: something like Ti or May, you want something that can
Speaker 2: score one twenty plus. And then paynhas hasn't really said
Speaker 2: the word on fire. He's sort of eighty minutes or
Speaker 2: seventy points last week. He's a sort of ambring along,
Speaker 2: But you want that upside. Like I said, so you know,
Speaker 2: even if someone has like a second to get fifty
Speaker 2: this week, I'd rather do that and keep May for
Speaker 2: the own home. Yeah, and back to Sammy Walker, the
Speaker 2: roosters have the dogs into Penry, I think.
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's a tough couple of weeks with Samy Walker
Speaker 2: and I haven't had him during the During the Orange
Speaker 2: before the orangin period, he was fantastic for me, but
Speaker 2: I think you want him for the back end, so
Speaker 2: the three weeks after, so maybe people are buying him
Speaker 2: for the price goes up, but then they end up
Speaker 2: with a great last three rounds, which coin side obviously
Speaker 2: with semi finals, Grand finals and the head to head
Speaker 2: rate f overall race. So it could be one just
Speaker 2: to sneak in. And the best thing about that is
Speaker 2: you can VC and captain Nicko if you've got the
Speaker 2: three halves in your team one flex. So there's a
Speaker 2: bit of merit to it, you know. But I think
Speaker 2: most people swaw two hundred and just thought you know
Speaker 2: that happened every week. So yeah, my advice is try
Speaker 2: to get the next guy that gets two hundred.
Speaker 1: Exactly you mentioned Isaali I just I had one question
Speaker 1: about him. Someone was asking honor. I made up this
Speaker 1: question Isaiah Pappali. I think he I think he's the
Speaker 1: third most purchased. But if you had the cash, would
Speaker 1: you go Hamalo Alakasu over him?
Speaker 2: In a heartbeat? I think the way Simpkins hit him,
Speaker 2: just it just like looks like under eight kid on
Speaker 2: the line and he just two of us turns as
Speaker 2: barges over. Yeah. I mean yeah, you talk about the
Speaker 2: one twenty plus score. Yeah, he definitely gets home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and isaoa papoli or kloke for Finky?
Speaker 2: I think that finished eighty minutes in a destructive runner.
Speaker 2: I mean, I pad solid, but Yeaharchy much more of
Speaker 2: a potter as well. Yes, let's get into the Coach's Edge,
Speaker 2: brought to you by tab Jeez.
Speaker 1: I've got to give it to Sangster. He's been absolutely
Speaker 1: having a nightmare with this every week. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: his last three in a row have all tanked. That
Speaker 1: being said, I'm targeting the same team that he's been
Speaker 1: targeting most weeks, which is the Dragons. Dragons with the
Speaker 1: Sharks this week to Sharks. Just I think they're the
Speaker 1: most informed team in the camp and they can pretty
Speaker 1: much do no wrong at the moment. They're scoring heaps
Speaker 1: of points. So I've gone first leg Sharks minus fourteen
Speaker 1: and a half the line and then two anytime Triscal
Speaker 1: was first Ronaldo la Tylo and then Niico Hines. I
Speaker 1: was actually looking at this the last month. Niko Heines
Speaker 1: has gone try no try, try no try, so he's
Speaker 1: due for a try this week based on that, and
Speaker 1: then the Cronulla in the race to ten and that's
Speaker 1: paying six fifty.
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on mate?
Speaker 2: I saw this on the way in on the run
Speaker 2: Street and I thought, mate, Wilson, you're onto something. I'm
Speaker 2: going to reopen my taber account, that's for sure. The
Speaker 2: refreshing thing is it's a six dollar fifty odd. I'm
Speaker 2: sick of Tommy's you know, dollar thirty dollars thirty five.
Speaker 2: If he gets frisky, goes dollar sixty.
Speaker 3: Mate.
Speaker 2: You know the punters love a bit of that value.
Speaker 3: Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Imagine what you could be buying instead For free and
Speaker 1: confidential support. Call the number on the screen or visit
Speaker 1: the website.
Speaker 2: I've got a question for Wilson. Yeah, comes here from
Speaker 2: soul Taker. We always talk about fullback Roulette. He's actually
Speaker 2: got an instant point. How about like targeting teams Roulette.
Speaker 2: So for example, he's mentioned the tigers, and Tommy's been
Speaker 2: backing against the dragons all year, some wing against dragons.
Speaker 2: So would you just sort of go instead of sort
Speaker 2: of players, just get it against teams against who dragons? This,
Speaker 2: we've got tigers something you'd sort of do chase the upside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, definitely, I think especially the Tigers, they're looking
Speaker 1: very bleak at the moment.
Speaker 2: So if you've got trades, you can like to target
Speaker 2: those outside backs, fullbacks, the halves. I think it depends
Speaker 2: on how many trades you got, if if you've got
Speaker 2: enough trades at the moment, or if you're just a
Speaker 2: head to headplayer. I would absolutely be targeting mashups over
Speaker 2: with this particularly exactly the perfect example of like the dragons.
Speaker 2: If you come in you know you're behind, you can
Speaker 2: sell a sort of common play and bio Ronaldo or
Speaker 2: just Erramia or Katowa for example, to target the dragons.
Speaker 1: So great shout out. So I'll take yeah, exactly tactic.
Speaker 1: Let's get into the cheapy bible. There's not a ton
Speaker 1: of great names on here. But I think at this
Speaker 1: time of the year a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: running low on trades and cash are probably sort of
Speaker 1: needing to either bring in enough or a cheapye. So
Speaker 1: there's a few names here worth mentioning. Hayden Watson at
Speaker 1: halfback a decent shout for maybe only another week or
Speaker 1: two though, because Jerome Hughes could be back at some
Speaker 1: point but looked pretty good last week and Camera Monster
Speaker 1: back this week, so you know, could potentially go okay
Speaker 1: against Manly. But I think the top borderline cheapy here
Speaker 1: for me is like Ajala Sema three hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: four k. Tough matchup this week against the Panthers, but
Speaker 1: looked pretty good last week in his return.
Speaker 2: He is so likely and he's the epitome of a
Speaker 2: supercoach player like a tackle bus for Frankos Quatrow of
Speaker 2: anywhere offload aerial threat. Love it again a guy I
Speaker 2: bought during the season and he was cranking out thirties
Speaker 2: like it was just it's so frustrating. I think you
Speaker 2: want to I mean supercatch actually NRL see him realize
Speaker 2: his potential. I like it him in a bit of
Speaker 2: a to better Panguy junior. Yeah, all the potential in
Speaker 2: the world could be destructive. You'd love to have him
Speaker 2: in your team. You'd love to have able to coach
Speaker 2: him and sort of you know, get into the place
Speaker 2: as to get to I think it's the time of the
Speaker 2: year that the prop of the time for cheapies. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he's probably the pick one here Lock Ilias as well.
Speaker 2: Like with Ilias and Watson, you don't want to be
Speaker 2: wasting trades in your halves at a moment. So if
Speaker 2: you're going to be, for example, one of these two
Speaker 2: guys in, you're forgoing you know, a Cleary, a high In,
Speaker 2: a Walker, a Jaden Campbell. So it definitely don't go
Speaker 2: cheap in the halves. But HELLI seem was probably the
Speaker 2: pick of them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1: Lessie Buketti is also worth mentioning only two hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty nine k I was brought into the starting side
Speaker 1: for the Rousses last week and is starting again this week,
Speaker 1: and I think he banged out like a seventy four.
Speaker 2: What a great try to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know, if you need a cheapy option
Speaker 1: in the back rows, not the worst, but yeah, instead
Speaker 1: of someone like Hayden Watson, a locket Ilias. If you
Speaker 1: had to free up some cash, would you be bringing
Speaker 1: in enough at this point in the season.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, so you've got depth. If you're short of
Speaker 2: rain with twenty or four players, and you would if
Speaker 2: you're eighteen nineteen, then there's going to be carnage somewhere.
Speaker 2: It's been a year full of carnage and injuries, so
Speaker 2: Leka is probably the pick of them. Yeah, but yeah
Speaker 2: for a right, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean if you're running low on trades that there's
Speaker 1: just been major injuries every single week. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing that if you didn't have to. Let's
Speaker 1: get into a few questions. I got one here from Matt.
Speaker 1: He's saying he needs to sell Del Lucas this week,
Speaker 1: and he is asking he's got four players here, which
Speaker 1: would you pick? Tom Jenkins, Robert Toyer, Ronaldo Mulatalo or
Speaker 1: cool A, Kefu Finish, wacky all of the above.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to say, back your gut. I mean,
Speaker 2: Jenkins been noting amazing things. Rob Toy is actually one
Speaker 2: of my pods for the run home, so I like
Speaker 2: him again after maybe this week and next with the
Speaker 2: two tough matchups, but the last three rounds have got
Speaker 2: a juicy, juicy matchups. So if you want to get
Speaker 2: ahead early finish we've spoken about. And then Ronaldo're like
Speaker 2: a couple of hundreds back to back. They're just I mean, like,
Speaker 2: I mean that trying the week and he walked over
Speaker 2: the ball bounce and he had full time in the world.
Speaker 2: He creates so much space on that left edge. I
Speaker 2: guess any question mark now with no Carol Era, he
Speaker 2: does give a good, good service to him. He's got
Speaker 2: good hands, that is true. You know it is already
Speaker 2: off that same sort of a service. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but I mean that draw is just it's too juicy
Speaker 2: to ignore. So yeah, I think all four are great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you can really go wrong with
Speaker 1: any of them. I would think I would lean Muller
Speaker 1: Talo just because I'm quite quite big on him, But
Speaker 1: it depends on what you need. If you just need
Speaker 1: some reliable base, then benefity, Arky's probably the pick there.
Speaker 1: But if you want some upside, I think Miler Talo
Speaker 1: or Tom Jenkins would probably be my pick.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: And then another question here is Reese Walsh a sell.
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the top five most sold
Speaker 1: this week, but a lot of those teams would have
Speaker 1: only just brought him in a few weeks ago, so
Speaker 1: would you be moving him on.
Speaker 2: I'm one of those I put him two weeks ago
Speaker 2: and you're buying him for the ride, like on the
Speaker 2: weekend even when it got sud bin, I was actually
Speaker 2: all went back to the canvas before the last last
Speaker 2: year's like you went, got like an injection in that
Speaker 2: ten minutes, came back and just fill it out of
Speaker 2: the water. So I was hopeful of that that he's trying.
Speaker 2: Definitely trying a lot of ball hitting the ground, a
Speaker 2: lot of frustration. Like I just think now that the
Speaker 2: season's gone for them they can't make it, they'll probably
Speaker 2: have some fun and resource having fun, Brisbane having fun.
Speaker 2: There's an adamalshipt kick goals this week, maybe more in
Speaker 2: the coming weeks after that. There's not much value to
Speaker 2: go to aguin ass you go back for that half
Speaker 2: back to have three half back second the option of
Speaker 2: captain and Cleary or hin So I don't know, like
Speaker 2: he's fun to own.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and another one I'll just throw it yet Mark
Speaker 1: no Wannger need to ask he's actually the third most
Speaker 1: purchase player this week, would you be interested in him?
Speaker 2: And I'd say it again, but their draws a bit tough.
Speaker 2: He is against her in a karma this week, so
Speaker 2: there's an option there, hic. I mean, as a non
Speaker 2: owner for him to score only one hundred points last
Speaker 2: week with three tries was get out of jail because
Speaker 2: they's got eighty points and he only scored one hundred
Speaker 2: and I couldn't believe that. And even that try scored geez,
Speaker 2: like you shouldn't have scored it and you got to
Speaker 2: the try alone. I thought, you know, I'll just get
Speaker 2: a few more run medium went back media and he
Speaker 2: went about a meeting from the ball and carried what
Speaker 2: four or five on on his back. He's just enormous.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to jump the gun. But I guess
Speaker 2: we are too much of my pod, which was Rob Toyer.
Speaker 2: Mark can score tries that no one can really score.
Speaker 2: So if you're up Toy throwing that last pass all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that's a twenty to linebreack assisted to
Speaker 2: try assist if you're a Samuel Walker owner, when the
Speaker 2: kicks go across field, even as Teddy with He just
Speaker 2: makes the guys inside him much much better, which is
Speaker 2: why I'm saying big going to Rob Toyer as a
Speaker 2: pod and we're going to pods. By the way, we've
Speaker 2: just transferred to the week yep. Toy has had his
Speaker 2: one week arrest, as will after the origin and just
Speaker 2: the new rule with the last touch, I think it
Speaker 2: just adds so much to him defensively sound. He's just
Speaker 2: a superstar. So the answer the question, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: And of course Rob Toy is my pod.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just back on Mark, I'd probably view waiting another
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I think he's a decent upside player
Speaker 1: for the run home. But yeah, like he said, like
Speaker 1: he he's scoring tries but doesn't really have the base,
Speaker 1: so the next two weeks he may potentially a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I like the Rob toyr pick as well. Even
Speaker 1: if Mark's not scoring them, sometimes he just gets them
Speaker 1: and just hurls them ball backwards.
Speaker 2: Through his legs, behind his back, this spading. Yeah it happens,
Speaker 2: yeah exactly, And then yeah, I guess we'll just move
Speaker 2: onto the pods.
Speaker 3: My pod.
Speaker 1: I mentioned him before, but Ronaldo Miller Talo he's currently
Speaker 1: the fifth most purchased player, So he might not be
Speaker 1: a super pod at the end of this week, but
Speaker 1: at the moment only five point five percent owned. And yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just been scoring tries at will playing for the Sharks,
Speaker 1: who probably the most informed team of the comp at
Speaker 1: the moment. So yeah, Ronaldo Muller Tylo is my pod
Speaker 1: of the week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a bay relationship with Ronaldo every time
Speaker 2: I buy him over the years, He's about about thirty
Speaker 2: or forties when I don't buy him his painting one hundredths.
Speaker 2: So yeah, here's what I won't go to. Another part
Speaker 2: of it, assessionly retising with a question I received as
Speaker 2: well from the BMF commissioner. Funny enough, great man, THEO
Speaker 2: he's carole Ero. Would you sort of Stephen Crichton because
Speaker 2: Stephen Kronin is one of my pods? Would you go there?
Speaker 3: Ah? Jeez.
Speaker 1: Stephen Crichton is another name that I mentioned in the
Speaker 1: pod yesterday as a potential pod.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 1: It depends on how many trades you've got. If you
Speaker 1: need to bring in a center this week, then I
Speaker 1: would be okay with selling kale Ero, but preferably I
Speaker 1: would be holding. But yeah, if you need an upside play.
Speaker 1: Stephen Crichton. I think he's got a five round average
Speaker 1: of just under eighty. Since moving into five eight, he's
Speaker 1: been the Bulldog's attack is looking far more adventurous so
Speaker 1: and scored what one hundred and twenty last week, So
Speaker 1: it's a decent upside play.
Speaker 3: But I'd probably only be doing it.
Speaker 1: If you had a number of trades left. I've only
Speaker 1: got three and I need to make a trade this week,
Speaker 1: So kale Era is one of those guys I'm tossing
Speaker 1: up whether I trade him. So if you're in that
Speaker 1: sort of situation and you're desperate as well, then I
Speaker 1: think you kind of have to.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: Dog, the attack has really changed, especially that left edge.
Speaker 2: Now we kick our back is such a point of
Speaker 2: attack for them, So a lot of free points for
Speaker 2: him there and kicking goal thinking very well on the weekend,
Speaker 2: but kicking goals that's sort of twelve forty into his
Speaker 2: floor every week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, quick plug here for Supercoach Cup. Down to the
Speaker 1: final sixteen now, so getting the pointy end of the season.
Speaker 1: A friend of the Pod, wolf Pack is still alive
Speaker 1: and Steelers, who I'm pretty sure is the team that kicks.
Speaker 1: Thankster out three or four weeks ago is also still alive.
Speaker 1: So good luck to a great concept. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Good luck to everyone's still alive. And Sit Coach Cup
Speaker 1: and then Too Much Finals starts in five weeks as well.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what it is just yet that
Speaker 1: we've got an awesome prize. It's probably the biggest prize
Speaker 1: ever from Supercoach, so keep your eyes peel on that. Well,
Speaker 1: that'll be announced soon. We've already done a pod, so
Speaker 1: we might move on to our guilty pleasure. You mentioned
Speaker 1: you had something to talk about here, didn't you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, second trade. It's a gentleman. I started the year
Speaker 2: with I had massive, massive expectations from this year. It's
Speaker 2: got a drink water. Yeah, I think of a slics.
Speaker 2: I started with him, I traded him out. I've bought
Speaker 2: him back in during Origin, I traded him back out.
Speaker 2: I mean I've spent you talked about fullback roulette. I
Speaker 2: think I've raised probably fifteen trades on fullbacks in between
Speaker 2: Turbo and Ponger and Teddy. I brought back twice Key
Speaker 2: I started with, I bought sew Or far longer, and
Speaker 2: it's just been it's crazy, but I just think Drinky
Speaker 2: is the kind of guy that is. I think five
Speaker 2: and eighty k at the moment, not many people are
Speaker 2: going there back kicking goals. I mean they couldn't been
Speaker 2: your worst and there were last week The Cowboys surely
Speaker 2: as that bounce back factor. Farewell matchup on a Thursday night,
Speaker 2: a lot of games at Queensland, a few day games
Speaker 2: in that, and I think for head to ad finals,
Speaker 2: now you can cuise the first game of the round.
Speaker 2: You can. I think you mentioned last last yes and
Speaker 2: the pod Ewan Barnesi. You can vice captain him as
Speaker 2: a without your parents seeing that. And he's got you know,
Speaker 2: because you really want with Nico and Nico, you want
Speaker 2: someone that can really have that big upside of one
Speaker 2: thirty one to forty plus and I think he's got that. Yeah. So,
Speaker 2: like I said, it's probably my thirty and fourteenth fourteenth trade.
Speaker 2: I've spent in the full division and I hate going
Speaker 2: back to the world and bringing back players over trade,
Speaker 2: especially if I've had him twice this year. So it'll be,
Speaker 2: like I said, a thirst one becomes to my side.
Speaker 2: But yeah, thank you for me.
Speaker 3: Yeap for me.
Speaker 1: I mentioned him a bunch of times this podcast already
Speaker 1: as a buy and also a player to avoid, but
Speaker 1: I think Sam Walker is my guilty pleasure this week.
Speaker 1: I pretty much have to sell someone I don't want
Speaker 1: to sell to get a full team in the park
Speaker 1: this week. And I don't really want to sell Dylan
Speaker 1: Edwards because I feel like he could be back next
Speaker 1: week and he's already missed like two or three games,
Speaker 1: so ideally I would have sold weeks ago. But if
Speaker 1: I want to bring Sam Walker in, who is only
Speaker 1: five nine percent owned at the moment, I think I
Speaker 1: would have to move Dylan Edwards on to do it.
Speaker 1: So that's that's why I'm still agonizing over my trades
Speaker 1: this week, because I just I cannot decide. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I also quite like squat drink order as a cheap
Speaker 1: option as well, just because I don't have much cash.
Speaker 3: If I wanted to.
Speaker 1: Do Edwards still Walker, I would have to sell someone
Speaker 1: else as well. So it's just a really tough call.
Speaker 2: You know, purely as a regular league. I who's just
Speaker 2: I love watching the same Walker play like I grew up
Speaker 2: idolizing like Kiffer Lyones. Terry Lane was my favorite, you know,
Speaker 2: when I was ten years old. Seemy just goes left,
Speaker 2: goes right. I don't think he knows what he's doing
Speaker 2: half the time, so good luck with his teammates and
Speaker 2: all he does so just ad lib, adventurous. There's not
Speaker 2: much of that that in the game anymore. You know,
Speaker 2: like I could imagine him being you know, when I
Speaker 2: was a ten year old, chip and chase of the
Speaker 2: clothesline all day long. He probably still does it. It's
Speaker 2: like he's a big kid running around, you know, flick
Speaker 2: passes inside, kicks, left foot is inside outside. It's just,
Speaker 2: you know, it's so good to watch. So you know,
Speaker 2: I enjoy the right taket.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I reckon I probably will end up doing it.
Speaker 2: Dylan, Dyl. It was be frustrating because I had him
Speaker 2: a last time three swalshen the elasceration on the head.
Speaker 2: And now it's been three weeks. Yeah, we missed him
Speaker 2: for the big, the big, the matchup against Paramatta and yeah,
Speaker 2: going to be frustrated.
Speaker 3: I brought him in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've barely been able to play him. It's so frustrating.
Speaker 1: We'll move on to the captain's call. Now, what are
Speaker 1: you thinking of doing for your VC?
Speaker 3: And c this week.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Nicko Hines, you know, saying Georgie think's going to
Speaker 2: want to eighty last year against them in one of
Speaker 2: his first games back from injury. Like I said, justscumulates
Speaker 2: points in every facet, Like he might not set up tries,
Speaker 2: but he's taking hit ups. He's forty twenty in the game,
Speaker 2: is kicking goals on thirty odd run streak of kicking goals.
Speaker 2: So we also every tribe becomes automatic four points. So
Speaker 2: I think you more question about the VC drinking. I
Speaker 2: mentioned that first game against the Titans, Jaden Campbell I
Speaker 2: actual had a big hundred last week, but for me
Speaker 2: far long ago three o'clock at Perth, it was a
Speaker 2: fast track there, favorable matchup, and he's this sort of
Speaker 2: soul with no Jerome Hughes Grant. Yeah, months is back,
Speaker 2: but I mean the Troy scored against the Hours last week,
Speaker 2: just lost. It's just honestly like he's another level. So
Speaker 2: I'd love to see him work in his passying game
Speaker 2: because he sort of gets that he gets outside the
Speaker 2: third defender, the sort of can't throw the carter or
Speaker 2: hit the right back. So I guess when that evolves
Speaker 2: in his game. He's going to be unstoppable as well,
Speaker 2: but he's someone that can again crack that one thirty
Speaker 2: plus and you know, challenge the Niko Heines captaincy.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think we mentioned before, but I think
Speaker 1: Niko pretty much just like a locked in captain for
Speaker 1: the rest of the rest of the year pretty much,
Speaker 1: and this week keep playing in the last game of
Speaker 1: the rounds. So even though thirty percent of teams I
Speaker 1: think have him as their captain at the moment, I
Speaker 1: think you've just got to ride the wave with the masses.
Speaker 3: Yeah, great match.
Speaker 1: Up against the Dragons, so it could get big and
Speaker 1: little little stat for you as well. I think he's
Speaker 1: close to beating hazm l Masis consecutive goal kicking record.
Speaker 1: I think he needs three to try it and four
Speaker 1: to beat it, which could very easily.
Speaker 3: Happen a minute. Yeah, could very easily happen against the
Speaker 3: Dragons this week.
Speaker 1: So I think I'm just gonna even if i my
Speaker 1: VC goes big this week, i think I'm just going
Speaker 1: to leave the captaincy on Niko because the past few
Speaker 1: weeks my vcs have gone decent, I've looped them, and
Speaker 1: then Nicko has just ended up going correct.
Speaker 3: Bigger than them.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think VC on Cleary against the Wars
Speaker 1: he scored I think one forty seven last week, so
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense. But yeah, I like Scott
Speaker 1: Drink Water as well as a massive VC pod play.
Speaker 1: But realistically, unless they go massive, like you're just gonna
Speaker 1: run with Nicko as your captain correct.
Speaker 2: And if you're want a safe one like a I
Speaker 2: think a Rayan Couchman, which is by this week he'll
Speaker 2: play a two minutes, you're gonna go ninety five without
Speaker 2: try and he'll lock in. So if you're on someone safe,
Speaker 2: I get cross this question a lot when it comes
Speaker 2: to this time of the year and overall glory and
Speaker 2: that my biggest advice to people is you got to
Speaker 2: back your gut and think a bit outside the square.
Speaker 2: Like when I wanted, I think I brought you Matt
Speaker 2: Dufty for the last round, which probably no one ever did.
Speaker 2: So I think, as crazy as it sounds, maybe the
Speaker 2: anti Nico Hines captaincy like if you want to catch up,
Speaker 2: you know, I think first is ahead by fair bits
Speaker 2: and it's gonna take something crazy, something actually outside the
Speaker 2: box to find that Samuel Walker that could you get
Speaker 2: a two hundred or a drink or so you know,
Speaker 2: maybe a Titans outside back or like a Phillip Sammy
Speaker 2: or Kelly or like you know you've got You've got
Speaker 2: to sort of take some risk. No one remembers top fifty.
Speaker 2: You remember the first, so I think just you know,
Speaker 2: have a crack guys.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Nico, do you do you think he's like
Speaker 1: he's already in a lot of teams, But do you
Speaker 1: think for the teams that don't have him, is he
Speaker 1: a must have? And would you be moving having and
Speaker 1: earth to get him in this week?
Speaker 2: But I think if you haven't got him, you can't
Speaker 2: be doing too well. Because he's been such and like
Speaker 2: so so strong. I think he's got to keep going
Speaker 2: against him. Yeah, I mean you have to, like you've
Speaker 2: got to fork out a million plus a lot of
Speaker 2: big kies as well. It's probably a few trades that
Speaker 2: you can't afford to defit. Take at least two trades
Speaker 2: to get him in that it's a hard watch watch
Speaker 2: behind the sofa. Maybe, I know, take the misses out
Speaker 2: and walk the dog. Yeah, good father, know something else.
Speaker 1: We'll just we'll just answer a few questions to round
Speaker 1: out the show, I've got a question from Tim here.
Speaker 1: He's saying, I don't know many trades layer, but he
Speaker 1: has Xavier Willison set to bleed more cash this week.
Speaker 1: Do I stick with him or do I sell him
Speaker 1: now before it's too late.
Speaker 2: He's back to props. If his name to play, I'd
Speaker 2: stick with it. Again, you haven't got much trades just
Speaker 2: it's sort of you know, his dual position, you can
Speaker 2: sort of maybe swing him around. I usually like Williston,
Speaker 2: and like I said, Payne Has's output hasn't been fantastic. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Jensen's retired. There's a lot of a lot of time
Speaker 2: in the middle. If he plays, i'd play.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He says he's thinking of moving Zamie Wilson to Ronaldo Miltalo,
Speaker 1: so he's got that flexibility there. For me, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be worrying too much about the leaking cash at this
Speaker 1: point in the season. But if you're concerned about his
Speaker 1: points or you need an upside play, then I think
Speaker 1: Wilson to Militala makes a lot of sense. So if
Speaker 1: you need points, i'd probably lock it in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can swing it that way and get
Speaker 2: a center wing with upside, I'll definitely do it. But
Speaker 2: if you're going to like a trade tour, like I said,
Speaker 2: I pap or just you know someone in the forwards,
Speaker 2: front row, second row, now don't do it.
Speaker 3: Do you have some questions as well?
Speaker 2: One more? Ye, it's a funny one as a pod
Speaker 2: so Warriors are having as well. They love to go
Speaker 2: right Nicole Clark Say has a stat where he does
Speaker 2: like to go the left to right pass. He shapes
Speaker 2: a lot more. Would you take a floor on him?
Speaker 3: Jeez.
Speaker 1: I actually went out of my way to pick up
Speaker 1: DWZ in some of my draft legs a few weeks ago,
Speaker 1: which has paid off.
Speaker 3: He's been he's he's.
Speaker 1: Coming good at the right time of the year for classic.
Speaker 1: I'm not It's a tough call for sure. Definitely a
Speaker 1: massive pod play. Tough matchup this week against the Panthers,
Speaker 1: so it's a tough call. But like we've been saying earlier,
Speaker 1: you got to take risks at this point in the season.
Speaker 1: So I don't hate it as a pod play at all.
Speaker 1: I'm starting him in my draft leagues that I own
Speaker 1: him in this week, so I think he's a confidence start.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't hate it at all.
Speaker 2: My actually answer question, he is probably go the left.
Speaker 2: I'll off your Carperreira, because you know, he's just out
Speaker 2: of my speed to burn cramping up a lot of opportunities.
Speaker 2: Give him a sort of an inch and he's gone
Speaker 2: to try so again upside, but be prepared for a
Speaker 2: twenty point game. Prepared for a hundred and twenty point games.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the ultimate rocks of diamonds. I could easily
Speaker 1: crack the ton. But yeah, if he doesn't score a try,
Speaker 1: I could get sub twenty.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 1: Well, that's it for the preview podcast this week. Good
Speaker 1: luck this weekend, super coaches, and I'll see for the
Speaker 1: tennis podcast next Tuesday
