NRL SHARKS FOREVER SUPERCOACH

[bort]

Sounds like we're on the same trail. Stange makes me nervous because of Sticky... he could play the lights out for three weeks and get benched.
I like Arthars, I've had him in from the beginning.

Can't wait for TLT Pt2...!

Sticky definitely one to be distrustful of but I think Strange looked enough better in trials he should secure it and not be at risk of losing it if playing half decent, even with Ricky's shenanigans. Weekes was really poor I thought, especially playing in direct competition for an open jersey.

 

[Proud Shark]

Who besides Hughes youu thinking for FRF?

Willison, Henry and Mikaele all look to have some value.

I'd add the Broncos other benchies to that. Similar price range and could play more than Willison. Never estimate the chances of an NRL coach playing a boring veteran over an exciting youngster.

Also Jack Hetherington.

Gus Reckons Patolo will get a run at some stage but is injured atm... so keep an eye on team lists for him later on.

Jensen $413k
Hetherington $298k
Baker $311k
Willison $265k

I think Jensen is priced too high. He's going to need to get 60 odd minutes to make cash there and I just don't think he will. Jensen, Baker and Hetherington are those meat and potatoes style props. So far they haven't shown much in the way of SC attacking stats. I don't think any of them get the minutes they will need (40-50) to make much money there.

Willison is slightly different. He may only play 20-30 minutes, but he has a style which lends itself to supercoach. I see him as much more likely to throw out two games with decent attacking stats, and given he's at a lower price point, he could find himself up towards 400k+. I'm thinking more towards origin when they might be missing a few key forwards. If he gets 40-50 minutes in that period and throws a few offloads/crashes over, he'll earn enough to cash out. I just see the others as more likely to be that annoying range where they don't earn much and don't look like offering much SC wise.

Yeah - Wasn't thinking Jensen - and I get the logic with Willison.

I do think Hetherington is a little under-priced currently though, and I think he is the most likely of the bunch to have his minutes bumped when someone else goes down. With him I feel like it would be less risk with a better base, but any gains will be less too.

Baker more likely a long term thing. It's a bit of a worry that he couldn't win a spot over Jensen to start the year, but they may have swapped jerseys by mid season.

Jack Hetherington I don’t trust enough to consider for now. He did **** all last season and Thompson and Croker are better now than they were when that started. If he gets vastly increased minutes could be worth considering.

Patolo hopefully times well with being able to downgrade someone to him to free up cash

Kobe Hetherington could get like 20 mins to Carrigans 60.
If Carrigan moved to prop (to cover an injury) Kobe could suddenly be the one getting 60 and be a good shout. Not sure he gets enough minutes with current line up, although it’s possible.

I'm not saying I'm all over him. Just in that $300k down price range he's a guy who will definitely play and has some potential to play more.

It's a fair point, if he gets an extra 10-15 minutes a game he will be just as likely to make 100k+as any of the others. Cash is tight though, so I think I'll take the punt on the cheapest guy as I also think he has the biggest upside.

Yeah - wouldn't pick him over Willison... but if I wanted two cheap FRF's he might be my second one. Also he's dual, so could do the same as cheaper 2RF.

For sure, my concern is he is the sub for such a beast I could easily see him being quite restricted. If he finds extra minutes definitely worth a look.

Like we've touched on more chance Wilison snags some tackle breaks, offloads, try even. I don't hate Kobe as a 4th choice, worst case he probably gains some extra minutes around the origin period and if he's been a headache before that it gives you a good chance to ditch him once that is through.

My current FRF is Flegler, Hughes, Wilison & Mikaele.
Mikaele I was suss on until the Hess ACL news, still may end up being swapped to someone pending next half of TLT
Flegler I don't love either just because I don't think he is high enough upside to also miss games to origin but I don't have much budget for this position and I do think he should be a solid scorer to open the season. Gilbert down I don't think helps him, but doesn't hurt either.

In this case it'd be good to know who's next in line. Surely there'll be a HIA, other injury or suspension and one of those $300kish guys suddenly looks very good. Anyone like that here?

I think it depends on who goes down. Haas goes down and I'm looking more to Willison for some impact. Carrigan goes down I'm looking more to hetherington.

 

[bort]

If Carrigan got an early HIA Kobe would gain heaps of minutes I’d think. Similarly if it was Haas out I could see Carrigan playing some prop, again giving Kobe minutes and probably big body in Wilison.

If it was just one of the other guys they probably relatively split it, would be my guess. Like if Jensen went down 30 mins early I could see Haas Wilison and Fletcher just spreading them around.

Also an injury to 2nd rower or centre would end up similar imo (Carrigan moves to 2nd row).

I definitely think Willison has more big-score potential, but Kobe is more likely to play the extra minutes.

Still blows my mind that Kobe was a hooker at 20.

Are there any 'certainty' cheapies this year? I'm struggling to find any standouts

Kobe's PPM isn't great... a couple of interesting blips but I don't think I'd want to carry him. You could see him ending up as a super slow burn

Cheers mate. Not too much new but I think that confirms we're all in the same boat

 

[bort]

Keppie as my most expensive prop too risky?

Already made some concessions and still can’t fit everyone haha

Stupid split round doesn’t help

Wilison now out doesn’t help either (okay not as out as I first believed, just ‘tipped’ to drop out)

Seems plenty out there running Hughed st FRF2... Seems risky, but if it will allow me to get Turbo...
