johnsons short term injuries are so annoying. so i think im going jacks > widdop this week just to cover him. theres not many other alternatvies in that position, all the good players are halfbacks

Hey mate, I was able to bring in C. Walker to cover and still keep Johnson. Walker was my only poor scorer but nice to have him there as I’m sure he’ll redeem himself this week!
Great score BTW!!

Cheers Pacey! Great score from you too mate. I’ve bought in Taumalolo and R. Martin this week but I think I have managed ok. This week I have c. Smith, Fonua, S. Johnson on the pine.
Up to 558th but totally agree, it’s gonna be whoever manages their team through the byes better.
Picking the right captain benefits a lot more too in SuperCoach I’ve noticed.

made a rookie error. Didn't address the 'no fonua' this week and have him in my 17 with griffin and doulhie in my reserves as the ae candidates

hey does anyone know how many trades we get for the bye round? is it four like nrlfantasy or just the two? I know there is a super round in 15 where there are five, but can't find much else regarding the shortened rounds. cheers

I'm pretty sure it's 4 trades for the bye round

i have a feeling its 4 as well, but can't see any mention of it in the rules section. this website also says there are only two 

"You can make up to 2 trades every week. Every week. There is no longer 4 trades on the bye rounds. Only the two (2)" https://www.nrlsupercoachtalk.com/2018-bye-planner-updated/

not happy with this as i had planned for four orginally XD

I'm not happy either lol I have 16 for R13 but that's including cook, teddy etc see how much origin hits me

well at least we read up on it today as i was gonna bring harris in, but that will have to wait. looking at crichton, but worried hes a chance for origin. may have to bring a cheapie in like TMM and see if chricton gets named next monday...

From sctalk looks like most are going with brimson over tmm. I'm cashing in on jmk this week for one of those two mentioned. Kikau I probably need to move too has a be of 68

I thought I read somewhere it was 2 for the bye round and the super round we get 5 trades.?

Traded in Taupau and Brimson this week;

D. Cook, (C. Smith)
A. Fifita, M. Taupau (V. Kikau)
J. Taumalolo, J. Trbojevic, A. Crichton, (R. Matterson), (R. Martin)
D. Cherry-Evans (A. Brimson)
S. Johnson (C. Walker)
L. Mitchell, J. Rapana, J. Roberts, M. Fonua
J. Tedesco, (K. Ponga)

Not sure with Bench for this week, Johnson is probably out so probably Ponga, Matterson, Martin and Smith I think.

Nice team @Onthebeatpete where you ranked now? I'm finally making a charge 2.5k now hopefully top 1k after R13

brought in brimson and looking to bring in arrow but i have kikau, jfh, fifita, tpj, harris, RFM, Martin and Jturbo, Murray. Who makes way? Murray makes sense but he plays the bye...

Probably one of jfh or kikau - kikau be is 60ish and jfh 40ish from memory. Forwards are stacked this season making it harder to pick who to trade out imo

Thanks mate, up to 400th overall now :-)
Keep it going!! Well done

Moved up over 1k spots this week. Now sitting 1.1k rank. 11 players before trades

First year in SC this year and one thing i learnt, the trades I make in NRL Fantasy cannot be directly translated to SC. Its actually harder than i thought managing both fantasy teams

The Matterson and Fifita late outs cost me big in SC. Dropped from 3000th to 5000th

Only saw the matto news on my work break was lucky enough to switch in aubo which worked out. But was too late on fifita since all my dpps had played.

Managed to still get 1112 this week with the Fifita and matterson late withdrawals. I think I will have 12 playing this week. Ranked 270th overall. Have bought in S. Burgess and Gallen this week.
How’s everyone else traveling?

Dropped to 400th. Wasn't as lucky copping capewells auto emergency of 10 and rfms 15. Good work avoiding the carnage. I'm looking at rfm to surgess and downgrading jfh to tuala. Had Gallen before team lists, but I'm not convinced he is final 17 just yet
