A sporting tragic on & off the field! 91st, 140th & 430th in NRL SuperCoach & BBL SC finishes of top 1 & 2% the last 2 seasons

My current top 5 FAVOURITE players in Rugby League -
1. SJ
2. Papi
3. Scotty Drinkwater
4. Harry Grant
5. Sammy Walker / Ponga / Teddy
5 is tricky I'm pretty torn!
Who you got?
@scplaybook1
Defended his game a lot over the last 2 years but it's a new NSW number 6 for me now after that disrespect towards fans. I get it's likely towards those who abused him but it didn't come across like that and a quality culture is critical to sustained excellence in Origin footy!
You are joking!! That's justice hitting the sideline because Burton got checked and then was a half second late on the tackle... how can it possibly be play on? Apologies if I'm wrong!! Only got 1 look.. not one to blow up normally
3rd boost activated! Marzhew & Hosking in as well as Schuster. This allows me to keep Val who I spoke to and said he will go 90+ for me 😉 Wilton, Alomoti and Doorey out. Looks like 2 very nice upgrades with one bye target downgrade near basement $$
@scplaybook1
5th boost to end an aggressive couple of weeks in order to get all the guns I wanted as quickly as possible. Now multiple 120+s wouldn't go astray!

#Manu
I just poured a schooner over my head on the Caxton dance floor then pumped tunes for an hour... What a time to be alive!

Sorry to be negative i hate to do it!
Issue was it killed off the game. It ended as soon as that try was scored. Maybe warriors score next and make it 24-18 or maybe they lose by 30 still. Issue is we are left with this and we don't know 🥲
Anyways well done Brissy very good!!
Ok footy fans this one hurts but it's an important point. From Teddy onwards all the Blues players stop coming across and just watch when the contest in the air occurs. There seemed to be something missing in the desire stakes all series and im baffled why? Just 1 example
24 hour late mail
I'm in doubt for the poddy with a case of still can't talk properly! Mechanism likely from 1000 schoos and singing for 3 hours on the Caxton DFloor.
Will be given to the last minute to prove fitness
In no doubt 4 nxt wk

Starting to build nicely the Blacklock n Loads!
Very early days but I've got the good start I was after.
Now time to put the foot down now and put away a few mates in the rear view. Looking at you...

Not sure if this has been said yet - What do we think of an NRLSC tackle bonus ? Say a bonus 5 points for 40 tackles & another 5 bonus for 50 tackles.. help the workhorse!

@SuperCoachNRL
No major dramas for me on Tamou. If a bloke plays 300+ games and has been an excellent role model with no/minimal indiscretions I can get behind a 1 game downgrade for a farewell game. Precedent not set for anyone who doesn't fit that category (not many players).
I'm honestly the most excited I've ever been for the footy season and that I tell you, is saying something!! I'll take some proper time at nights to go through any questions and team chat once teams get announced! BRING IT ON 🤩😍 and a huge podcast tomorrow
@scplaybook1
Schuster did base 10 tonight. Real NRL Holy hell! Mesmorising was the best word I saw. But SC wise would be a scary play in 17s at the moment.. literally all attack reliant when playing 5-8. Could be a 10 or 100 type guy. Hopefully he runs a but more as he goes on
@scplaybook1
Scary to think how much improvement Reece Walsh still has in him given how good he already is! He is still so raw and if he can keep improving stuff like support play, when to inject, pass/run selection on his sweep plays he actually could be anything!
@RL_Guru
@TimWill94
Teddy tracker -
Teddy is missing 16 but is a chance to lose a try assist or 2 if unlucky. Would be 24 worst case so I have him at 128-152!!! 😍😍 Cheers skip I needed something...
Supercoach Rnd 3 - $$ Moves 💰
1. KP to Trell
2. Levi to Lussick
3. Luki to Curran
Pairing Trell & Tommy for 2 wks before some FB roulette. KP back v Saints if he finds his mojo again.
Captain Tommy v Nicho TBD
Sitting Piukura v Penrith playing Hutch & Burbo
@scplaybook1
Canberra v Newcastle
🏉 Smithies yes!! Minutes without HIA? 🏉
🏉 Pearce-Paul!! If Lucas misses any time could be a genuine gun. Can see him combining well with KP offloads to LB - Try🏉
🏉Newcastle 1 to totally forget. Errors and Canberra grind led to them totally gassed🏉
🧵
I would not of won SC if this legend didn’t make me think about the game differently. The
@SCSpy1
the best SuperCoach player in the game and the best bloke anyone could ever meet. I love you brother.
Feel like there could be a heap of different avenues in the trade department this week which is awesome!! Not just clear cut trades that everyone will do....
Really thought Cody's execution tonight was as poor as I've seen from him.. really not in form at the moment! First try was behind AJ, a heap hit the deck. Could have had a field day against 12! Not convinced SC wise. Well done on 150 games though capped with a try and win!!
Ok my peeps! Just finished doing up a big Bye rounds / Origin Supercoach guide. Article should be out tomorrow. Hopefully it can be a good reference for players you are looking at..
@scplaybook1
Dom Young
Just checked and Newcastle were 19 total points off the best attack in the comp last year!
Does he get better a year older, bust more tackles, run more.
Do the Chooks score more or less?
Does he score similar or more I'm really not sure...
#undecided
@scplaybook1
Exactly the sort of ball that needs to be pulled up on review.
A) 1-2m+ forward = review and overturned
B) Not quite sure. Inconcussion = 1000% play on no questions asked!!
I only want the howlers reviewed and NOTHING ELSE
Dead set..
Tommy skipper, Eli Katoa, Hopgood bin, Harry a very late try, Garrick boost for 44 and now a move to centre? Sheeeesh.. 1020 is maybe semi ok but just can't get going hey!
BUT it's turning from next week on the back of Nicho & a Reed Mahoney special.
#Longwaytogo
@scplaybook1
Well that sin bin ruined that contest. Surely there is something better that can be done! Even if it's bringing another bloke on but not allowing Kenny back for 10 I don't care... it wasn't a binning anyway!
@scplaybook1
Just a reminder that I don't think you need to go to pod crazy round 1! Maybe pick a couple but if you set up a decent side with a good money making base and point scoring potential it will give you max opportunity to make moves as the season goes on!
@scplaybook1
#FOOTY
!!
I do think Nicho showed signs at different stages that were quite good. Lovely kick for a try, great inside ball to go within inches of another assist but we need Mitch I believe. A genuine kicking, organising 7..
Nicho could potentially compliment him at 6 but Mitch comes in
Things I'm keen to see -
1. Can Cleary take charge of an entire Origin series?
2. Walsh. All time debut or error riddled?
3. The forward battle!
4. Is Turbo really back physically? Plz!!!
5. Fifitas impact
And literally everything else because HOW GOOD!!
@RL_Guru
@campo37
I really think try scorer needs to kick off like other sports the team conceding gets the ball. Under the new rules bad teams especially simply can't deal with set after set... just to help deal with momentum a little? Also Turbo is a god..
@scplaybook1
Few beers after a busy week... 🍻
Footy incredible!!!
Fifita best game he has played maybe? (Effort + skill)
Luki getting back into it!
Souths / Manly in 10!
= MAGIC
@scplaybook1
Am I getting too excited to say Harry G is the best/most influential player in rugby league!? Every touch is bloody special... few whiskeys down but he is something else! Special mention to a few blokes of course but wow...
@scplaybook1
Graham Origin? Has been near my pick for one centre in the lead in but this might tip it in my eyes... for what it's worth id pick Burton left centre same combination from GF win last year and Graham right! Staggs, Crichton close
@scplaybook1
Little delay here at Brissy airport gives time to dive into NRL Supercoach position by position..
Absolutely stacked halves and FB
No room for Lil Papi 😪
Souths draw not appealing early..
Fifita in... For now! $$
Cowboys back POD
5-8 POD
I'm pumped!
@scplaybook1
@RL_Guru
Whats your favourite play in rugby league? Early thoughts for me are chip n chase regather close but I love a show n go at pace, straight through untouched, get to the Fullback, draw and pass... TRY under the sticks!

@campo37
Unbelievable from
@Diabolicalangle
to go back to back in BBL Supercoach!! That is truly all time!
For the SCSpy I was 189th with 3 rounds left & had a HUGE swing late to try and make Top 20-50 (or as high as possible) AND it backfired finishing 800th
#noregrets
One of the best things from the footy today was seeing Hastings actually play a traditional number 7 first reciever role both sides of the field rather then a left and right side attack where there is no traditional Half-back. Loved it and hope to see it more and more!
So are 95% of people ranked somewhere between 20000-80000th after 2 rounds?
Hasn't really been a good player score to write home about yet.. Papi notable but still an average of 80 odd.
Will be big movement when someone goes 180+!
Who and when?
@scplaybook1
Thank everyone and everything alive I trusted my gut and used a boost to swap AJ for Talakai despite Souths draw.. I would have retired if I waited a week like i nearly did! Sorry to non owners tough watch...
@scplaybook1
@ReadingThePlay
Gee you're a bit negative tonight mate! Mitch has been outstanding all year. Admittedly misfit a few tonight in that first half but he also made an unbelievable 1 on 1 on Taumololo 5m out in the dying stages.. D had been exceptional. Kicking incredible all year and running well
Plenty of hip drop chat, surely we can put in on report and act later if it's analysed closely post game and deemed suspension worthy? Just my thoughts I know blokes do get hurt so it's not a good thing just pretty game changing a 10 minute sin bin if then cleared
@scplaybook1
Maybe a bit rogue but can we just reverse a sin bin if reviewed by bunker and its basically deemed wrong? Just big swing within games weekly!! And not easy to make a call for the ref in real time
