Can’t login on my phone right now, lots of coaches checking if Hayes was on field I suspect!
Sinclair, Whit (or should that be Sh), Cogs for me and Preuss with the E – fair start to the round. Had the E on Hayes so dodged that but feel bad for the bloke, he was going really well and such a shame to see this happen to him.
I traded English back out this week and probably leading SC with trades used (brought in two PODs witherden and laird) – used 12 trades already….actually not true, I’m playing the Tech Leagues this year and have used maximum available 15 hahaha – love the trade button!!
Have Dixon/JHayes at R2 and R3. Is it worth bringing in SHayes at R2 a week early to avoid poor Jack’s 16? Long term plan (i.e. two weeks time) is to bring in either Grundy or Darcy at R2
231/2/Macrae
Happy with Cogs and Steele as well as new recruit Preuss, who managed to tap the ball to the opposition in the ruck against Steele, but get 117.
Steele VC with Uwland as my loop. I would usually loop straight away, but Macrae in 2022 against the Crows…
TU: Keep Macrae as captain, risk reaps rewards.
TD: Don’t be an idiot, 140 any day of the week.
I had Marshall AND Hayes (in the fwd line) on the field AND Preuss on the bench. Marshall was on track for a massive score pre injury and Hayes was looking good early. What could’ve been! Steele’s big ton somewhat made up for Hayes going so low.
Devastating for Hayes but great news to read this morning that saints signing him up for a new contract. Sadly he’s on field for me but Steele and cogs negated that a little. Wasn’t brave enough to trade Grundy this week so preuss r3 hurts a little but great for my cash gen.
Well that’s pretty sh#t. My SC year just seems ton go from bad to worse.
Hayes , Whitfield , Cogs and Pruess. I probably could of looped Hayes but I decided to use my loop on Rachelle / Ward. Big mistake.
Theres something up with Whitfield. His team mates ignored him on many occasions and this year he has gone from one of the best ball uses, to an absolute butcher. His stat line reads. 15 kicks , 5 HB’s, 6 marks, 6 tackles and 1 free either way. This should at least be a 90 score if his DE was decent, he scores 65 !
Maybe he’s back on the crack ?
I just know if I trade him, he will go on a tear and everyone else will get him in cheap. Not sure what to do. Thoughts ?
Hoping for a big day today to hopefully salvage a half decent score . 🙁
I’m trading out Whitfield FT – and I won’t even care if he finally gets his shit together. Not putting up with anymore of whatever it is that he is dishing out. And you’re right – his teammates didn’t seem to be wanting to kick it to him either, so something definitely off there.
Another mixed bag of scores last night with Ryan and Brodie going well and NOD back to rookie scoring. It just didn’t seem to get over to his wing much.
I’m tending to agree with Lisa on Whitfield, if I can find $60k he will probably turn into Cripps.
SC aside I’m super excited with Freo’s form. I know we were at home and The Blues lost a few through injury early. It was still a pretty impressive win. We just seem to have pace all over the ground and it really helps us keep the pressure on and move the ball well. Still a bit early to talk finals but I’m loving what I see.
Side swapping Ridley to Witherden 2 minutes before the bounce paid off well Should be able to get 2300-2400 which would be amazing with Hayes on field. Hoping my other new recruit this round of Mills also tears it up but for those who held Ridley, he’ll definitely score well now.
Rachele and Butters the only ones dragging me down. Brayshaw a little soft but all other premos firing, especially PODs in ROB and Dale. Delicious watching them combine for 250 this afternoon.
11/958 C on Neale. Be lucky to make 2100
All carnage here, Dixon out, English out put Hayes on field, which destroyed my loop to be able to bring in Rosas. I could trade Xerri to Rosas but thats a nothing trade and with Dixon, English and Hayes out for at least a couple I might need Xerri as a ruck if anything happens to Grundy or Preuss, and not convinced of Rosas job security anyway. Luckily I traded Whit out and had Durdin on the bench. Hayes, Butters, O’Driscoll, Rachelle onfield for 150 between the four of them.
1254 after 12 played with macrae as captain and hayes on field – but i always start ok and then crash – my predicted always get me excited and i watch it decrease after every game *shrugs*
1676/16/Steele
Up and down so far. Hayes, Butters and NOD no good but with Sicily, Heeney, Grundy, Crisp, Daicos and Martin to go hoping for a 2200+
Good luck all.
I think that particular league has bucked the trends here a little, seems the average scores are up in comparison to others and we have 7 or 8 with projections over 2300, which is more than any of my other leagues..?? – Trudge
Projected 2263. Blakey, Crisp, Daicos and Martin to come.
Good stuff – Bringing in Preuss and having to reverse Rowell trade when Rosa’s was a late out. Witts, Steele, Dunks and Oliver all going big.
Bad stuff – Hayes, NOD, Jackson and Butters. Taking the C off Oliver just before the Brisbane game to put it on Neale.
Grundy, Crisp, Daicos, Martin, Heeney and new recruit Mills to come and hopefully get me to 2300 . Current projected is 2328 and should be safe in all my leagues. Still can’t believe it with Hayes on field. NOD over Gibcus on field was the right call at the time but always sad to see a ton on the bench.
The rolling lockout screws me again – I hate the time zone difference sometimes, which means that I’m asleep when players I’ve traded in are late outs… at least I have the emergency score from Hayes to bump my score by 16 points.
Up by 40 with Heeney, Ridley and Martin v Sicily, Lipinski and Lloyd.
T/up to burn extra boost trade and go Ridley to Sicily.
T/down 40 points will cover and get the W – thinking Heeney and Martin will nullify Lipinski and Lloyd.
Playing cash league, need the W however will take me down to 25 trades, at the same time also think Ridley will finish at D6.
438/4
Preuss, Coniglio, Kelly, VC Steele.
Only problem is Dixon is my only non playing and have Hayes as E in my forward line so don’t want that loop.
Should l take score of Preuss via a loophole?
To do this I would need to trade Grundy and loophole Dixon into rucks. This will gives me 540k plus a hinge trade and I could bring in any premo.
399/4 cogs, Steele, green, Whitfield
TU yes
TD no
Actually, I can take Preuss score by trading out Grundy and Rowell and bring in Heeney and Sicily by using the 1.07m to spend on these 2 premos
Yes or no
501 – 4 – steele- hayes,cogs,pruess,
Left the c on Steele from last week lol
Happy enough, tough luck for the lad but looks to have great character
Condolences to those with Hayes on-field. Genuinely. So shitty when that happens, hope you all bounce back over the weekend.
348/3
Cogs, Preuss and Steele on my end. No complaints.
Nice GD.

Scratch the witherden trade, bringing in another POD mid instead, have to make up ground in the ranking somehow!
Lmao. Always trading, SG. I love it.
Nice work with the Sinclair pick. He looks money.
I’ve looped everyone I can – luckily he was one of them.
422/5/Macrae VC into Neale
Hayes on field + whit ruined my week already
Steele Sinclair and cogs lessening the pain
231 / 2 / Neale
Have Dixon/JHayes at R2 and R3. Is it worth bringing in SHayes at R2 a week early to avoid poor Jack’s 16? Long term plan (i.e. two weeks time) is to bring in either Grundy or Darcy at R2
Yeah. Do it, Chillo.
Dixon -> S. Hayes likely the play next week anyway and Dixon not making any coin this round.
40% of coaches have Hayes straight field, so sacking his 16 will help with round rank.
Without Nic Nat, S. Hayes should also go well this week as we give Port their first win.
489/5 Mac/Neale
Yuck Whitfield
Yippee looped Hayes in fwd line . Lucky Saints played the first game or disaster would have come knocking
208/2/Macrae
Happy from 2 rookies (Cogs and Preuss)
Hayes on bench fortunately. Fingers crossed for a big score finally. Made 2 upgrades this week
Already traded MacDonald —> Preuss (R3).
Should I trade:
Grundy —> Dixon (bank Preuss score)
Hinge —> Sicily (field JFH, skip Rosas)
next week:
Hayes —> Hayes (via Dixon, Preuss R2)
JFH —> any MID Premo
T/U: Yes
T/D: No, back Grundy in, get Rosas and skip Hayes next week
231/2/Macrae
Happy with Cogs and Steele as well as new recruit Preuss, who managed to tap the ball to the opposition in the ruck against Steele, but get 117.
Steele VC with Uwland as my loop. I would usually loop straight away, but Macrae in 2022 against the Crows…

339 / 4 / Macrae into Trac
Steele, Marshall, Hayes and Cogs
I had Marshall AND Hayes (in the fwd line) on the field AND Preuss on the bench. Marshall was on track for a massive score pre injury and Hayes was looking good early. What could’ve been! Steele’s big ton somewhat made up for Hayes going so low.
364/4 VC Macrae into Neale
Had Hayes on field (gutted for the lad), Steele, Preuss and Cogs all on field.
247/3/macrae into Oliver
Devastating for Hayes but great news to read this morning that saints signing him up for a new contract. Sadly he’s on field for me but Steele and cogs negated that a little. Wasn’t brave enough to trade Grundy this week so preuss r3 hurts a little but great for my cash gen.
387/3/ VC Steele
Hayes hurts as a saints fan and for me having him on field but Steele going big helps.
488-3-Steele
lucky hayes (E) and steele (VC)
hopefully trading english to de goey holds me in good stead…
289 / 4 / Macrea VC

Rachele and Butters the only ones dragging me down. Brayshaw a little soft but all other premos firing, especially PODs in ROB and Dale. Delicious watching them combine for 250 this afternoon.
Battling Abs, Nato, Macca and CT in leagues.
We’ll see what Sunday holds.
Our man Dale keeps backing up GD 🙂
Aha, loving it. He’s chugging along really nicely, eh?
Here’s to him doing it season long.
Good luck for the rest of your round btw.
Well done fellas I didn’t have the balls to go Dale over Whitfield . What a huge fail ! Congrats guys.
and a great win by our mob last night FT. We seem to be trending in the right direction finally.
1008/12.
Got some ouchies in there. Had Hayes to loophole but Durdin did even worse.
Having English out hurts.
Should have held Cripps, too, I guess.
This is gonna be a wipeout week. Still, $600k on the bench I can make some good moves next week.
11/958 C on Neale. Be lucky to make 2100

Good luck all.
Things not going well
Didn’t hold Cripps after worrying about injury last week….. outscored his replacement Dawson by 60 points
Held English….
Traded Rowell for Rosas who was a late out and Rowell tonned up… fwd E was Hayes
Bought in McRae for Bowey… Bowey scored more.
Chapman sat on the bench because I was worried Bowey would lose money
2133/19/Oliver
Lipinski, Daicos and Martin to come tomorrow – can crack 2400 if they all hit projected. Here’s hoping but obviously very happy with the round so far.
Yeah, yeah keep bragging, there all gonna be coming for you now…
-THEGUYS@SCT.
Nah, great job! Look forward to your humorous roasting.
I think that particular league has bucked the trends here a little, seems the average scores are up in comparison to others and we have 7 or 8 with projections over 2300, which is more than any of my other leagues..?? – Trudge
Am seeing the same Trudge – seems for all our non sense talk, our league might actually be pretty competitive haha
TG – your team is so out there, I love it and great work this week smashing Spannerheads too
Compliments are allowed here since they’re not in our league chat!
1891/18/Neale
Projected 2263. Blakey, Crisp, Daicos and Martin to come.
Good stuff – Bringing in Preuss and having to reverse Rowell trade when Rosa’s was a late out. Witts, Steele, Dunks and Oliver all going big.
Bad stuff – Hayes, NOD, Jackson and Butters. Taking the C off Oliver just before the Brisbane game to put it on Neale.
1809/17 took a massive risk went dunks vc paid of which is good
Still got nick martin, paddy mac, heeney,grundy and Nick daicos hoping somehow crack 2300
1724/16/Steele
Grundy, Crisp, Daicos, Martin, Heeney and new recruit Mills to come and hopefully get me to 2300 . Current projected is 2328 and should be safe in all my leagues. Still can’t believe it with Hayes on field. NOD over Gibcus on field was the right call at the time but always sad to see a ton on the bench.
The rolling lockout screws me again – I hate the time zone difference sometimes, which means that I’m asleep when players I’ve traded in are late outs… at least I have the emergency score from Hayes to bump my score by 16 points.
1531/14/Gawn
Managed to reverse Rosas trade so need help on below.
TU – Ronke
TD – McCreery
Ok I just adjusted to Mid Rookie as will suit next weeks upgrades.
TU – McInnes
TD – Hobbs
Up by 40 with Heeney, Ridley and Martin v Sicily, Lipinski and Lloyd.
T/up to burn extra boost trade and go Ridley to Sicily.
T/down 40 points will cover and get the W – thinking Heeney and Martin will nullify Lipinski and Lloyd.
Playing cash league, need the W however will take me down to 25 trades, at the same time also think Ridley will finish at D6.
Cheers
I’m using the Greg Chappell line for those old enough to remember.
I have a very good team…..it’s just not playing well !!!
