SuperCoach 2013

[Dogs Of War]

Who are you picking as your captain this week? I am taking Thurston as he usually has good games vs my Broncos.
Merrin is worth a punt, but he didnt play 80 mins last week vs Knights.
Avoiding Souffs Storm players as I dont think it will produce alot of points when they play Sat night

Still hard to go past Smith who has been in awesome form. I will ride him until he shows otherwise.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Yeah sticking with Smith. I don't like Thurston when the Cowboys are playing away from home and I'm not sure how the Tigers will go without Marshall. Farah will have more responisbility but if the Tigers are dominated then Farah won't go too well.

Could be completely wrong in my theories but at the end of the day I think Smith is the safe option......and he'll be fired up for Souths.

 

[HowHigh]

I'll be sticking with Smith as well, he might not score the highest every round but he's consistently one of the highest.

 

[Mr Saab]

Taking Smith over Thurston. Alot of rain in Brisbane so cant take the chance with rain affecting the quality of the game and thus points scored

 

[Edwahu]

Going for Smith captain and Thurston VC. I'll do the captain switch if Thurston kills it, since all my AEs should score around 30 or 40.

[Edwahu]

I was killing time on SC checking out some players old scores since they recalculated them with the new scoring system.

Check this game by Campese.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

That with Supercoach gold? What's it like?

Imagine captaining him that week...

 

[HowHigh]

You can get a free trial for 2 weeks
Pretty cool for showing the players break even scores to know if they're going to go up or down in value
I didn't really go too deep into it with the trade analyser and shit tho

 

[Edwahu]

Gold is ok but SC talk has all the same info.

Gold is ok but SC talk has all the same info.

That's what I thought, I mainly use SC Talk.

Where did you find the historical games? edit: nevermind found them!

 

[Tooooks]

Hayne BE 134?
He will be lucky to get to 60 the way he has been going.

He's averaging just under 60 so far this year. Unfortunately, he's in a struggling team, as he has been for most of his career, and Ricky Stuart seems to have asked him to ease back on his playmaking role, which I think will cause his scores to remain lower than previous years.

 

[HowHigh]

Not sure what to do with Hayne. Had him from the start and he's lost about 60k value so far. I've got him at 5/8 so if he has 1 more poor week I'm tempted to ditch him but they say never trade a keeper...decisions

I'm keeping him for now. He's not scoring badly, but he's not a SC 'gun' anymore in my opinion.

He scores decent I guess you'd call it without doing much at all. If he gets a try and a couple line breaks he would be pushing a hundred a game but seems to be in a bit of a supercoach form slump.

If he scores 60, he will lose 25K. I worked it out that I would be ahead by bringing in two cash cows (they should go up by 60-70K together and more after a few more weeks), and dumping Hayne next week. Really depends if you want to roll the dice.
