Still trying to find a good balance so I have points evenly throughout my top 17, at the moment it's kinda stacked in big players but the backups could go reasonable:

FB: Inglis, Tedesco
W/C: Wighton, Hopoate, Gagai, Mansour (Folau, Tonga, Mata'utai)
5/8: Soward, (Nikorima)
HB: Pearce, (Mbye)
2RF: Parker, Gallen, Taumalolo, Ah Mau, Napa (Pauli)
FRF: Smith, Fifita, McCrone, Peats (Evans, Lichaa)

Guys in brackets are players I don't really care for and will look at changing after seeing teamlists in round 1. Not sure on having both Parker and Gallen. Might drop Gallen and replace him with someone around $100k cheaper and look at strengthening some of those positions with depth that probably won't get a run. Hoping that guys mid-priced like Tedesco, Wighton, McCrone, Peats, Soward, Taumololo and so on are guys who have big years through new circumstances and also end up being cash cows that are keepers.

But again... Round 1 will change the team. I'll go hard out on my top 17, and hopefully have atleast 3 or 4 bare minimum players who have been picked and start the season off. With any luck by the time head to head competition starts, I can then start trading them for guys who are going to be around all season.

For some weird f**king reason I can't log into my account.

It has worked once or twice at first, but now it keeps saying my password is incorrect. I end up having to say 'Forgot Password', & get a new one sent to me. But even those passwords don't work, & I end up getting shut out.

Anyone else had this kind of problem?

Here's my first crack. I'll need to change it because my bench players aren't strong enough.

FB: Hayne, Cummins
W/C: Wighton, Hopoate, J.Morris, Lyon (Tuqiri, Tonga, Faraimo)
5/8: Soward, (Nikorima)
HB: Johnson, (Cornish)
2RF: Parker, Stewart, Burgess, (Hinchcliffe, M'au, Santi)
FRF: Smith, Luke, Tamou (Peats, Trobjevic, D.Fifita)

Might drop Lyon to a cheaper option to beef up my forwards. Some weird pricings this year. I know Milford is a great talent, but he's achieved nothing in the game (or in Supercoach), yet he's only a touch under Hayne in price? WTF?

 

[abpanther]

Why is everyone so high on Tamou this year?

Averaged 60 last year despite coming off the bench for half of his games and was the only shining light with the Raiders playing crap, also went berserk a couple of times.

I think he'll score well regardless of Stuart's coaching, hes out of my team at the moment though.

Hmmm, fair enough. Still overpriced though compared with proven SC performers. About 240k would be a fair price imo, but then I guess everyone would have him.

 

[Tooooks]

Dunno. To be honest, at the time I had about that much cap space left so I got him. I've already swapped him for Ryan James, who is much cheaper and had a great run at the end of last year, which will hopefully continue.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I'm definitely getting him.

He went ballistic after moving to fullback last season and consistently scored 80+. The only reason his average was 60 last year was because he spent the first half coming of the bench and into the halves.

280K is reasonable IMO.

 

[andrew057]

Its not like they plucked that number from any where. That price is based on his scoring last season.

 

[umina panther]

Why is Bryce Cartwright more expensive than other rookies? He's never played first grade so shouldn't he be 87k?

Yeah fair call by you and the others who have pointed out my ignorance!

I didn't watch enough Raiders games last year, so I had no idea he had a run of such good scores.

I dont know the exact formula thats been used, but rookie pricing was changed to make the game more competitive. Last year everyone had Tupou, Kelly, Burgess, Harris etc.

I assume that more than 70% of teams wouldve had Luke Brooks had him been on a rookie price like was expected. Its a good change.

 

[Bamboujikin]

^^^ thats true, but it still doesn't answer why he is priced $7000 higher than other rookies who haven't played an NRL game either.
They can't give an average off NYC stats, so they are bumping his price up just under the impression he will score well?

Anyone bought the supercoach talk media guide thing??

Wanna hook us up?? Lol....

We have bad punishments if we lose our league so I'm looking for an advantage...

And I'm a cheap bastard...

 

[tumbidragon]

Couple nice cheapies made the Raiders 17. Jarrad Kennedy 102K bench 2nd row. Matt Allwood 87.5K starting centre. Very handy start to Rnd1.

 

[abpanther]

Yep, saw that, seems that after people worrying there will be some nice cheapies coming through

 

[abpanther]

Given the injury to Jason King and the increased minutes, Brenton Lawrence at $258k seems like termendous value

Such as?

 

[ek999]

Bulldogs should have a cheap outside back for the first 4 or so rounds too with both Inu and Lafai out and Perrett at fullback
