The SuperCoach NRL PodcastJesse Arthars or Savelio Tamale? Jamie Humphreys or Tom Starling? Plus the latest on final cheapies before price changes.
Hello, super coaches, Welcome to our preview podcast Round three. A massive show lined up and a huge panel starting with Rob Sutherland. How's your team shaping up?
Pretty good? Tom had a good week, had no trades last week. I can't decide if I'll do two or three this.
Any Vegas stories for us this week?
I got in trouble for telling such a long story last time.
Who got you in trouble?
I'm not allowed to say, Frank and.
Yet, Welcome to Rob's world today. How many trades you're making this week?
I can't decide if we're going to make two or three, but I'm angling to use a boost this week, mate, so I'm probably gonna make three.
And what are you thinking?
I'm gonna trade out Garrick for tomorrow, which is a bit of a I'm not sure about. I saw a sout on Jamie Humphries, even though I talked about yesterday. Yeah, I'm going to like the rabbit Ez draw over the next few weeks. So I'm going to go Tom Duffy out for Lockie Galvin. I'm going to switch Metcalf up to half back.
You're ruining my pot of the weak.
Oh there you go? And then I want to go hosking out for Satilli Tuo Panola. So that's what I'm looking at this week.
I kind of like that. I've got three going on. I think Tomorlay is probably the must have by ahead of Arthurs, and we can discuss this a little bit later on Duffy, I've got to Humphries or Starling. I'm just trying to work that out now, and then Hopgood goes to Haas.
What trades are you thinking Duffy's going to Starling for me? I just prefer the base. Humphreys is going great, but he had a couple of pretty soft games and the draw gets a bit tougher for them from here. So I'm leaning towards Starling with that sort of more reliable forty base and the attacking upside. And I've got to say I think I gave him a hard time for a couple of years. It was a really good story came out a few weeks ago about him talking about the legal case he was involved in. Yeah, that the fight in the Central Coast, and how much he impacted him, how much he was up at court of the day of a game or the day of training the bat. Yeah, dash back. Obviously that's done with now and it's clearly you know he's in a better place, and that's great.
Barnett.
I'm going out to Arthur's via dules. His minutes were up, but it was all base. He'll probably get some attacking stats this week and I'll regret it, but I'll take I'll take the cash. The other one I'm not sure is McLain out to to Marlae. There's whispers McLain's going to be dropped, just whispers for Jenkins. But I don't want to let McLain go. But I've got to get that money from Tomarlae, so I'll probably boost into that.
Let's go into the no go zone. This is the players that you the popular player that you think you should avoid. For me, I'm still got I've still got Jesse Arthur's in the no go zone. I think only because I can only get one of him, and to Marlay, I've got to Malay ahead, mainly because he's just one hundred k cheaper. He's going to go up by about the same amount Jesse Arthur's. It's an awkward price. If the tries dry up. Look, if the tries dry up, he still makes one hundred and fifty K if he keeps go range Twise, he makes two hundred and fifty K. If it's a fifty to fifty core between to Marlee and Arthur's, you definitely go to Malee.
Thoughts yep, one undred per go to Marle. The Raiders look like their attacks brilliant too. It's thirty points the first two games of the year. Arthur's can go very low as well, as we've seen in the last few years. Obviously, he scored big the last two games, but yeah, you can certainly go low.
I've a bit of a hot take this one.
No, he goes on for me as pain halfs well, everyone's going to him. Not because I think paint Ass is a bad player. I think he's awesome. I think he's a great supercoach player. I just much for fer Tino as a by He's about one hundred and fifty k cheaper. He turned up on the weekend minutes unin issue at all. He plays fifty five two stints in the first half. Most people have trell Main big Red, which I'm happy to run them as my front row one and two. Yeah, I just think he's it's waste of a trade and you're paying up for him, so you.
Can concentrate elsewhere. For sure, you're right.
I think the bit of pass is that the price is high, so he's even if he keeps going at eighty, he's going to go up about eighty eight. That's not a huge amount, you know, when when Smale can make it in it in a week. Look, I've got my nogos going. I'm totally misinterpreted what we're meant to do, which is I'm seeing people go tom travoyviitch to Arthur's. I don't understand people selling Travoy bitch to get to Arthur's Tamallee. I would say he's in a bad spot, which is like it's a sticky three way right, So yeah, he's Ricky Stewart's got to choose between these three wingers, and at the moment Tomale seems to be the one in front of Albert Hoppolade. But we don't know that's going to continue. That that that could you know that that could end. Ricky Stewart can be capricious at times with his selections. That said, Tomale in New Southwest cup I think he ran for the most meters I think he had the most tack of us. He's got all that extra to his game Arthurs doesn't have. But I'm going to take both and just.
Hope he was an absolute beast for the Dragons last year in New Southwest. Cup interesting that you've talked about your Sticky three, but you're also going Tom Starling. So you think Starling has better job security under Ricky Stewart.
Sticky loves Tom Starling. He really stood by him when he was having a tough time. I know there's this is Owen Patty is the young kid, right, Yeah, but like Starling's played what sixty minutes and seventy minutes I think sixty five last year. Yeah, so that's enough with Starling's upside for me, it makes some quick cash. He's not a long term play, but quick cash and I can get into Harry Grant.
A guilty pleasure time. So this is the move that you shouldn't do, but you just can't help yourself. Doesn't have to be a buyer, can be anything in your team. For me, I've keep coming back and my cursor is hovering over the sea button next to terror or may What are your thoughts?
Oh, it's safe safe. It's certainly safe.
There's a few questions this week, Tommy Turbo, obviously, will you play really?
Not Rell May.
He's scored, he's scored huge in thirty nine degree heat or something. Didn't a spell for eight is if it was a closer game, maybe he comes back on and plays our last ten minutes.
I like it.
What do you reckon? Uh?
It's boring, it's boring.
Yeah, it mainly it's more of a throwback to the Gallon and Parker days, just a bit of a nostalgic thing I prefer, and I probably won't do it. I'll end up going clearing and Ponger or something VC and see. But at stages this year, particularly over the buyers, ter or May will be used as a captain for saying a store for sakes paradise.
Sure, but I prefer Tommy. I always captain Turbo at home, like you know that. That's that's the Tommy. I even this week. Yeah, this week, no's you you do it, not me. I wouldn't, but I want you to do it.
Yeah, well I'm here, I'm considering it. I am toying with it. It depends we'll have Obviously that's going to be a big thing for late mail. We will be chasing that so hard. We'll give you any update that we have on Tommy Turbo this weekend, last game of the Round of Book. I want to captain him, but I think I'll just have to go ponger. Look.
My guilty pleasure is boosting into one of other arts tomorrow. Having congratulated myself not using a boost, Yeah, as of Tuesday morning. By Wednesday morning, I'm already using it.
Yeah.
Mine is I'm going to go with a Sharks player because everyone knows the big Sharks fan.
I've tinkered with the idea of getting in Britain Nikra. Yeah, just because the.
Sharks have such a soft draw and it give me that whole right edge for the Sharks to give me heins and give me see me Stone Streets and Nickera. He went close to scoring two tries on the weekend.
I had a soft drawings a gun, but I think I'm gonna go to Perna instead. But yeah, I have tinker with the idea of Nikra.
Your Sharks love comes through every single episode.
It's more and more creeping through.
I guess. Welcome to the beats Bet. This week's best bets powered by Better my Bet one. Last week four dollars twenty for Cambra to win against the Broncos I thought was an absolute moral and it got up this week. I'm going boring again. None of these malties. There's all these cool markets that you can do. I'm not messing around with that. Just Panthers to win. They were horrible last week. I think they bounced back against the Storm in the Grand Final rematch, paying three dollars fifteen, which has got to be the biggest price they've they've paid in a long time. What's yours? Tom? You know that's just boring.
I don't care about collecting little bits, So I've gone you.
Did two dollars eighty last week, Yeah, and didn't win.
It didn't because I had the Panthers to win by twenty and a half. I'm not saying I'm consistent, it's just today this is where I am. Any time try score a parlay Mulataro against the Rabbit, O's Taruva against the Dolphins, crighton against.
The eas Yep, I'm going to go.
I'm gonna go with one about two dollars seventy five focused around the Cowboys, left edge defensively.
The last two weeks they've got torn apart.
First week it was Jason Sarvin Garrick, last week it was Sammy stone Street. This week I'm focusing on selling Cobbo two plus tries seventy five.
Nice yep, I like that. I very much like that. What are you really gambling with? For free and confidential support called one eight hundred eight five eight eight five eight or visit Gambling help online dot org dot au questions what's coming through this week? I think the biggest one is Starling on Humphreys. Who are you going to go with? Oh?
I'm not going with either anymore, but I'd probably go Humphries just because he's not a boring Starling's not a boring player, but Humphries he's got a lot of excitement use his term in horse racing. He's lightly raised, so he's only going to improve with the run. He kicks goals as well. But yeah, they do have a tough draw. The rabbit o'z that's finally knock. But yeah, I'd go Humphrey's over Starling.
I like Starling. There's been a change of gear.
He's got the blinkers on now he really seems to be focused finding the line, so I'll go.
That way, stepping up in trip too with the extra.
Yeah, thoughts on Nafahu White or Emre Gula to Jordan Ricky, you spoke about him a little bit yesterday in the office to get a piece of the Broncos. Nice draw.
What are your thoughts if I'm going to do one of them? It's because I think Clema coming in. We were talking about Clema coming in is going to impact one of if not to Gula and Stuart even possibly catch. So with the uncertainty, take him out, do I get Ricky?
I looked at it.
I looked really hard at Ricky. His base was in the fifties. I think first two weeks fantastic. The only Bronco's doing a lot of tackling in the forwards other than paying haass. The only thing I would say is that he's done this a couple of years as well. He starts a season strong, big bass, and then within three or four weeks he's doing a base of thirty two and you sit there and he's scoring forty one and you think, what did I see and what have I done? So it's a risk but the price is okay, do you know what his ownership is low and his prices I think cheaper than satility too Peranua. So if you're looking at for yeah, that.
Sort of thing, it's not that. And a question from Matt mcinnernie, who is chief stuff on our team, are you risking Turbo this weekend Sunday at Brookie with a dodgy Hammy plus a lot of cash? First thing I'll say is it's actually not that that much cash because his break even, he's a just over one hundred, which is essentially his average at Brookvale recently in uninjury affected games. Now the issue there, of course is the injury. I really want to put the sea on him at Brookie, but I would have to get really solid mail from our basically manly correspondent Dean Richie to lock him in.
I say, I don't understand people dropping it. He's got to be confirmed out for weeks before I dropped Turbot. It's a trade wasted. I don't care about his bee because anything up to one hundred and fifty I figure he can cover it next week. He's got the eels, so that's a definite captaincy for me, he's in my team until he's not in the team, and then I'll just work it out like twenty four hours before.
Yep, I agree, I agree. I wouldn't be dropping Turbo, but it is a risk to have the Sea on him.
Yeah, well, spoke about it yesterday yesterday. But you can use Isaiah A Yongi if you own him, and there's a good chance that you do, who plays on the Sunday as well, so he can use him as a bit of cover late in the round onto Pot of the week. You stole mine in Locklan Galvin. I think that's a sensational trade. Luai is running the team, so Galvin can do whatever the hell he wants, and that's when he plays his best.
Yep, Well, Tubernour's mine. I think he's just an easy sail down from Hosking. He's going to get a tacking upside. Well, he's got a tacking upside, I might say, and he's in a good team. Yeah toop Nor for.
Me, Adam Reynolds is I talked him much three season. I said I thought he was going to make about one hundred K over five six weeks. He's probably gonna make one hundred k over three weeks, he's averaging eighty and he's got the Cowboys, Dolphins, Tigers. I think in the next three super soft, I can see him averaging seventy five plus over that three week.
The other guy I want to point out is Siwa Wong from the Roosters, who is now on an edge. So Radley's back. They've also got Collins and Spencer Lenu back, so three middles back. But Radley's been named a lock, which means Wong is starting on an edge. So it should be good minutes on the edge for one. Just watch Napbutcher might come, yes, so let's go with him. He's had it in hospital.
Yeah, but he's back. He's in the reserves and it would not shock me if he comes into the Okay.
One thing I thought, what about You've got Zach docer Clay there on the bench who will spell Connor Watson. But he's played eighty of the last two weeks and moved into the middle. Does that put Radley in the back row and then maybe Wong to the bench.
Yep, good call. Yeah, all right, you've just poo put all over, Thank you very much. But that's what the podcast is for. Cheap is okay. So Tomali and Arthurs we've worked out at the two best. Which audio you have them in is up to interpretations, but I think Tomali is more important. Mattie Nicholson, so you wouldn't get on this week, but next week could be the most pot purchase player got ninety eight on the weekend on his enter All debut. He's got pretty good job security now that Hosking is out for four to six weeks, So next week one thing to point out for next week. You may need to boost next week as well because it's going to be lots of good bys next round. Yep.
You just like to say a bit more base for.
Him when you base was in the yeah, mid Yeah, so I was.
A wait and see.
He runs a great line, so he's going to score tries. Yeah, I'd just like to see that base increase when he doesn't get those tries because they're not going to He's not going to get two every week.
One wait a week, take.
The week you might as well. Yeah, super coach. Plus your trial has just run out. So if you're wondering why you can't see captain six percentages most popular players averages at venues you know, all that sort of stuff, the green lights next to each player to see whether they're in the team or not, the red light, the injury reports, all that sort of stuff. You cannot see anymore if you don't have a super Coach Plus subscription. I suggest to get in there and get it for twenty nine to ninety five for the year. It's a bargain. Or get the Code subscription fifty nine bucks for a year, a dollar a week. It's a bargain till you get all the super Coach content plus super Coach Plus all the stats diving there into the app now and get that today. Key injuries got Dylan Edwards not really Supercoats relevant, but two to four weeks, Hosking four to six weeks. You reckon Tubernua. He's the best replacement there.
Yeah, well, there's a few replacements. I just like Topin because he's cheap.
He's got a low brake even and yeah, that one hundred wolf fall out of his rolling average next week.
But I think you've got to get a big square.
What about Hubner? Do we all own him? And are we all holding he's out for two weeks through suspension, but he's still got a pretty low b Yeah.
One hundred percent holding. There's still there's still big holes at the back of the rabbit oats. You know, they're in their back rows. So when he's back, he should get back on the decent minutes.
Yeah, yeah, I hold him on.
To Captain C. What are you thinking this week?
Or I'm going VC Cleary. I don't care that it's the storm. He can he can go big against anyone. They're going to be pretty salty after losing to the mighty Roosters. It's no no shame. It's foundation club probably taught Penrith a little bit about how what rugby league really means, which is great. I was expecting that. There's no way I was expecting the Roosters to get pumped.
The Ponger Seaponger. Yeah, I'm doing the same, which which is boring. Obviously. Ponger's at twenty six point five percent. The interesting one is Turbo at only nine percent, and a lot of those will be hangovers from last week, So his actual captain six percentage I think is a lot lower than that. If we get some really good mail that he's going to play, I think I will go Turbo's captain, I will go Turbos.
I'm going nick O Hawens Saturday three pm home opener at a Shark Park.
No one seems to be Captain nim up against.
The rabbit I predicted that one.
I Reckon up against the rabbit O's who have a few outs so they might be a bit iffy defensively.
That leaves a hu I VC. Because there's not many options because it's Saturday three pm.
I might go with a sneaky Ali Leah Tower, yeah, or Harry Grant tomorrow night. So I'll be switching it between those two and we'll see how I feeling.
But try that Leatawa scored. It was like a cannon.
More than good luck trying to tackle a lot but there's just no.
Way, no way you can tackle him. And final thought, there's something to get off your chest. We used to call this segment Rob's rant, but then you went off the podcast for a bit. Now you're back, so you can you can just fire away and don't attack Frank this time.
I'm not attacking Frank. Bring him into the conversation. Look, it's not bloody touch footy. The first two rounds the refs are calling held really early, like players come into contact. I know there's a system. Players come to contact one two third guy brings them down, slows it down. But they're calling held like before the player has even stopped moving like that. You're meant to call it when the players forward momentum stop leaving, and that's they're calling it way before that. And it's really annoying me. And I'm not saying that it came from a lord whose name may not be mentioned. I'm not saying that. You know, Nerl House have dictated to the referees that the rules are to be changed, because that never happens anymore. They don't change the rules, they don't tweak them, they don't change the interpretation. They never say that.
But I'm saying, Yep, very true, very true. But it's good for super coach. That's that's for sure. What have you got for us?
Mine is don't I react after one game. We saw that last week with Luke Metcalf. Everyone didn't play him, sold him. It's the same thing this week with Reese Walsh after he got nine. Don't sell him. If you got him for a reason, stick to your reasons unless his role changes or he gets an injury.
Just don't wash.
Before he plays the Cowboys at home and in like the blockbuster game.
Of the rounds.
You know he's going to have a big game. He was hating it last week. It's hard to play in Canberra and he just couldn't get going. I'd hate not to own him this week.
Mine is just trade big because you've got most of us are going to boost this week. Next week we're probably going to boost as well. We've got so many good buys. Next week Munster and Papenhausen will be right because the Storm had that buye last week, so they'll be going up in price Tino as well. Then you got Maddie Nicholson who again all these guys who've only played one game, who will be on my purchase list for next week. That's four already. I'm going to be boosting for sure.
Next all right for Tommy Q with the extra five's a move.
On to some final questions. Dylan Lucas or Tino for us Moali, how would you.
Go look Tino? Because Dylan Lucas is very good, very safe, very solid at center wing and might finish in the top eight six a position. But there's plenty of competition there Tino at five hundred K with jewels.
I reckon, Tino, you can wait till next week. So I think Dylan.
I thought it was like I can only have one.
It's well, I think you go Dylan Lucas this week and Tino next week. Because Dylan Lucas is going to top the center wing position this year's.
It'll be a goalkicker as it always he's what about a guy.
With what about a second roller? It's the same thing. It's just added base.
To me, it comes down to if you have marj and pomer because I wouldn't want to have Dylan Lucas. I wouldn't want to have three nights. They're on the buy next week. It's going to make it tricky. Nice are going good, but will they you know, will they attack look this good all year? Tino is just a beast. If I like to pick between one of the two, I'd pick Tin.
And then final question, and we've been covered in yesterday's podcast, but we're getting repeat questions about this. There's a lot of worry out there that with Katoni stags on the extended bench, that Shibasaki might drop out of the team. I don't see that because Shibasaki is on the left, katany players on the right, So Dean Marinis drops out. That's what I'm thinking. We don't have any actual mail on that. We have to get our man bomb of Badel to chase that up for us.
I was just thinking exactly that there's no one who will chase harder aligned than Peter Bedell's. Let's get him right onto it.
Very good, all right, Thanks Jack, Thanks Rob, and we'll catch you next week for the team's podcast. See you then,
