NRL SuperCoach is back to consume our lives once again. We’re launching on January 25 (next Wednesday), so to whet the appetite (and start the mayhem), here’s an exclusive sneak peek at some key player prices and positions.
Corey Parker, Broncos, back row, $488,100
The best player in SuperCoach will set you back plenty this year. But he’s well worth it.
James Graham, Bulldogs, front row forward, $271,900
The SuperCoach organisers have realised what most of us already know, Pommy import Graham will be a SuperCoach gun.
Ashley Harrison, Titans, back row, $332,200
The perennial performer is no longer available at five-eighth, dramatically reducing his SuperCoach worth.
Simon Mannering, Warriors, back row and centre/wing, $288,600
The hardworking Warrior will be a popular pick after being handed dual position status.
I’ll be taking questions live at noon Friday. Send questions and comments now.
SUPERCOACH LAUNCHES ON JANUARY 25 (NEXT WEDNESDAY)
Jason Taumalolo, Cowboys, back row, $150,700
Averaged 43 last year (which would generally mean a price in the low $200,000s), but has been discounted slightly because he only played three games.
Clint Newton, Panthers, back row, $162,600
Didn’t set the fantasy world alight in his past NRL stints, but apparently returns from the Super League a new player.
Kyle Stanley, Dragons, fullback and centre/wing, $185,000
Played bit-parts last year and therefore starts cheap. Gets first crack at Darius Boyd’s fullback spot.
Alex Glenn, Broncos, back row, $275,800
The centre/wing revelation of last season is only available in the back row this year.
Terry Campese, Raiders, five-eighth, $266,800
Plenty of SuperCoaches were looking for a discount this year due to Campese’s injury woes. But no such luck.
Johnathan Thurston, Cowboys, halfback and five-eighth, $336,000
Now available at halfback AND five-eighth, where he is set to play for the Cowboys, Queensland and Australia this year.
Note: These are the prices and positions as they stand now. They are subject to change. In fact, the prices are often adjusted by a percentage point or two in the final days before launch get the formula spot on. Some prices may even be totally recalculated. But in the main, these prices will be very close to the final figures (if not exact) and therefore offer a great tool for helping your teams take shape.
