Reflections on Gary's Wedding
00:00:01
Tackles and Tinnies

00:00:20
Jake
Yeah, mate, i reckon I'm still a little bit tired. Yesterday was obviously a bit bit of a tougher day, but mate, wonderful day. So huge congratulations to both Gary and Sarah.
00:00:31
Jake
It was a beautiful wedding, but yeah, it was definitely a bit dusty today and I reckon I'm still a bit tired as well this evening.
00:00:31
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:00:39
Tackles and Tinnies
Has the arm the tiredness slowed down the spud farming or you reckon you're still a prime cropped up?
00:00:46
Jake
Oh, mate. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. You watch the mistakes flow. I don't know where it's going to be, but there's always a few. So yeah, they'll come hot and fast, mate. Just when you're not ready ready and expecting them, they'll be there.
00:00:58
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, mate, I can't say anything. Last episode with Gary, i last five minutes, my audio cut out and I was a part of the spud farm too. So who knows? Chris, it's probably your term tonight. But how are you, mate?
Supercoach Season Struggles
00:01:09
Chris
Hey, I'm good. Thanks, Ryan. Good to see everybody after last week's hiatus. Yeah, no, congrats to Gary, our co-host, on on his wedding the other day.
00:01:19
Chris
No, I'm excited to talk some Supercoach tonight.
00:01:21
Tackles and Tinnies
hundred percent 100%. Boys, last week, it was a bit tumultuous. I've got some red arrows. I've gone down to 2,846 in my season rank.
00:01:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Small arrows only dropped 385 spots. I scored 1,307 points, but devastated that I'm out of the top 1%. I've dropped down to the top 2%. And my team value is at 15.8 mil. I'm in shambles. What's happening, boys? Yeah.
00:01:49
Tackles and Tinnies
Trades were pretty good though. was with my trades and we'll go through that shortly. But how did you go, Chris?
00:01:53
Chris
Well, you beat me by two measly points last week. I scored 13.05. Yeah. And I still, and I got a drop as well. I dropped 404 points sorry, 404 ranks to 2,371. Yeah, no, despite that, had pretty good
00:02:07
Chris
yeah no i despite that i actually had a pretty good pretty good week compared to last week. Last week, last last week when I was off, I went balls to the walls and I had Teddy,
Trading Decisions and Strategies
00:02:20
Chris
Teddy, who scored 95 as my VC, but I ah went to captain Scotty Drinkwater and he scored 33. So that was, that was a really painful watch.
00:02:29
Tackles and Tinnies
That hurts us all.
00:02:30
Chris
ah ah Yeah. Yeah. But this, this week I learned better and I captained Teddy and I did not touch drinky. So yes, I'm much happier.
00:02:40
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Good man. Jake, how'd you go, mate?
00:02:44
Jake
didn't have a great week, to be honest, unfortunately. i scored 1173. eleven seventy three So probably the lowest score going round, I reckon.
00:02:53
Jake
I dropped about 4,500 spots as well. So I'm currently sitting at 28,500. yeah, not good spot. Oh, mate, it's 16.3. so yeah not in a good
00:03:01
Tackles and Tinnies
Team value, bud.
00:03:02
Jake
but
00:03:02
Tackles and Tinnies
What's the team value?
00:03:04
Jake
man it's sixteen point three
00:03:07
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, you're dropping.
00:03:07
Jake
just short of it. So it's still up there, but it's given it's given me nothing. It's given me nothing.
00:03:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Well,
00:03:12
Jake
So yeah, I'm hurting. I'm hurting.
00:03:15
Tackles and Tinnies
you might...
00:03:15
Jake
So not not a good streak.
00:03:16
Tackles and Tinnies
You'll be double hurting after your absolute demolishing by myself in the head-to-head, so I'll take that.
00:03:22
Jake
Correct, mate. Yeah, I'm dropping on the head to head ladder. Yeah, I'm not in a good spot. Not in a good spot.
00:03:28
Tackles and Tinnies
And Chris, I'm pretty sure I beat you in draft as well, so Who knows? The host is, he knows the most.
00:03:35
Chris
Yeah. You've been having a couple of fire weeks, actually.
00:03:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:03:39
Chris
Yeah. Who did you buy in draft? I think you picked up Bradman Best, who went for like 100 Yeah.
00:03:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Rabin Bess popped off.
00:03:46
Tackles and Tinnies
Talakai, picked up Talakai. He popped off. Yeah. That's why that's I'm a host of a podcast, boys. know what I'm talking about, obviously. Yeah.
00:03:57
Jake
All those cheeky ones that you're avoiding in Classic, mate, you go hunting for in draft.
00:04:01
Tackles and Tinnies
That's it.
00:04:01
Jake
i
00:04:02
Tackles and Tinnies
hundred percent
00:04:02
Jake
yeah, it gives you a taste of it.
00:04:03
Tackles and Tinnies
100%.
00:04:03
Tackles and Tinnies
Well, bloody...
00:04:04
Jake
good
00:04:04
Tackles and Tinnies
The the slander is starting at 4 minutes and 15 seconds, but Scumbag Adam picked up Keanu Keeney like four weeks early.
00:04:12
Tackles and Tinnies
i was hoping to get him after round 18 because I got Gutho and he's just... Absolutely. The definition mediocrity currently. but I was hoping to a sneaky Keanu Keeney look in. yes, come back at him. Standard maneuver, picking him up. And that's why he's one of the best in Australia for Supercoach. So kudos to him getting that early purchase because he has Jareem Buller. So I guess he definitely is upgrading.
00:04:34
Tackles and Tinnies
Optimal timing with that hamstring that he's pulled as well. He's going to four weeks. But boys, super coach this week. My God, it's it's good. It's bad. It's stressful.
00:04:46
Tackles and Tinnies
i think the biggest thing, and I'll go straight into it because Jakey and I were talking in the green room, Chris. Now, Karapani, is in a lot of people's team this week. And again, I'm looking at the top 1% because that's most relevant to me.
00:05:02
Tackles and Tinnies
But Karapani, mate, what are your thoughts? 22% the top 1% are buying this week.
Debating Player Acquisitions
00:05:10
Tackles and Tinnies
would you get him? And then I'll give you my rationale why I'm probably looking at getting him. This is five minutes ago.
00:05:18
Chris
Yeah, look, honestly, i think, I think you can get him if you really want to, you know, that he's on that left wing for the for the Broncos and they're absolutely firing at the moment.
00:05:29
Chris
I think the question is whether or not, you know, he'll, you know, you'll be able to play him enough. You know, I think you'll play, definitely want to play him in round 18 or so, but in my view, I think you're just better off getting enough, really. The issue is that let's say you buy him for $290,000 and he goes up in price. Are you going to trade him out?
00:05:48
Chris
If you're only playing in from around 18, then i don't think I think you're better off getting enough for $498,000 and ninety eight can pocketing the $90,000 extra is what I think.
00:05:58
Tackles and Tinnies
Okay, do you want to hear my absolute, my smoke and mirrors conversation here? So all day I was like, yep, I'll just preview one of my trades. I was going to go Karaz straight in, easy trade for Billy Smith because I had all that money in the bank.
00:06:15
Tackles and Tinnies
So like, yep, easy trade. I'm like, damn, I'm like 30K off with Lawson up Carapane because that would obviously been optimal to do that. But i've already got one enough there. So not too keen on doing that. And I'm like trying to think.
00:06:29
Tackles and Tinnies
I really need some cash because like a lot of my positions are pretty set, like my halfback position set, my 5'8 position set, my front row set. You can arguably say my second row set. So is's really I'm just going around the margins at the moment, trying to really beef up that center wing where it's obviously quite volatile, but there's a lot of upside there.
00:06:47
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Shibasaki is on the Broncos. I wasn't too keen on having two Broncos, and as Jakes and I were talking about this in the green room. If I downgrade Shibisaki, who's at $603,000, I could downgrade him to Karapani at $290,000.
00:07:07
Tackles and Tinnies
That frees up the $300,000, could play him all up to around $19,000, probably gets up to around $500,000, maybe even more potentially. And then from there, I could go straight to Lomax.
00:07:21
Tackles and Tinnies
And then I get to keep guy like Osarco.
00:07:21
Chris
Will you have the trades to do that? I think that's the biggest problem. Yeah. I think the biggest problem is that will you have trades left ah to trade him out again? i think that's where the problem lies.
00:07:33
Tackles and Tinnies
Yes. I'll just be running low.
00:07:38
Chris
Oh, not just you, but I think for everybody in general, everybody in general.
00:07:39
Tackles and Tinnies
peter
00:07:42
Tackles and Tinnies
But would you be happy?
00:07:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Like, hear me out. So i've got Farmworth, Karaz, Asako, Garrick, Brimson. And then if I downgrade Shibasaki to, let's say, eventually upgrade into Lomax...
00:07:50
Jake
you
00:07:56
Tackles and Tinnies
and then I'll be able to beef up a second rower, like Hosking up to a Hudson Young or a Jacob Preston, then I'm pretty much set and forget for the rest of the season. So I'm,
00:08:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Obviously, Turbo, we'll see how he goes.
00:08:08
Chris
Thank you.
00:08:09
Tackles and Tinnies
so So I've got about four to five trades left before my final team's good to go, and I'm done for the whole year. And I obviously only trade out if there's a long-term injury. I've got enough depth in most positions where I can sort of hold for it for a couple of weeks.
00:08:27
Tackles and Tinnies
Again, it's so juicy. And I think having those two Broncos is kind of redundant. And obviously, Carapaneh, We're talking in our group chat as well that Cobo's probably gone and he could be gone any day now, or Adam was saying anyway. And i't I think he's just out of favor, like personally. I don't think he's going to get picked the rest of the year unless as an injury.
00:08:47
Tackles and Tinnies
He looks pretty safe there on the wing. And again, he's projected at 55 points for $110,000 upgrade. point hundred and ten thousand dollars upgrade Mate, it could just be absolutely gangbusters. I obviously can see why the top 5% and top 1% alone, like 20% of them are doing it.
00:09:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Does my logic make sense considering my team's pretty center forget, particularly hookah when I got Jaz Devunga starting again?
00:09:15
Chris
No, look, I think it's fair. I think it's fair what you're saying. it Again, it just it really will just but it would just really be a case of do you have the trades to trade him out?
Strategic Trade-offs and Planning
00:09:24
Chris
Like, you know, we just keep getting injury carnage again and again. You know, this week of, you know, Fletcher Sharp. Like, you know, next week, you know, when when your team is pretty much set, like who will you have to trade out again?
00:09:34
Chris
You know, who's getting injured next week? And so so that's where the the problem lies. But I guess, you know, if, like you said, i can't you can't get Kiraz this week without downgrading somebody, Fine.
00:09:45
Chris
Downgrade and you can get Kirapani. I ah don't disagree with that necessarily. I think it makes sense from that view.
00:09:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Do you think Karaz is a must-have this week, if that's the case?
00:09:57
Chris
Personally, for me, I think he i think he is. i think he's a top four, you know, CT dub to have by the end of the year. You know, they, you know, they play Penrith who are leaky on that left, left edge.
00:10:08
Chris
You know, I think that, you know, definitely the early you get him, the better.
00:10:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Jakey, you've been very quiet, obviously very patient there. Rip in, mate. What do you think? What are your thoughts?
00:10:17
Jake
Yeah, obviously we were chatting a little bit earlier and look, looking at you're the one looking at your team and everything you're saying. if that aligns for you and like and it's within your plan, then yeah, that's that's definitely definitely a great option for you.
00:10:35
Jake
can save a lot of money. I think I say it on every every week at the moment, but even looking at around 18 numbers, you definitely have like that 13 to 14 players kind of make sure you got that coverage because that Shibasaki to Karapani is that sideways trade.
00:10:51
Jake
you're pretty much just getting the same Broncos player there.
00:10:54
Chris
Thank you.
00:10:54
Jake
So if you've got the numbers for that like over the next two weeks as well, looking at the the next two buys coming up and yeah, and you've got a plan in place, then it's a right move. You're going to make a lot of money out of him.
00:11:05
Jake
Hopefully there's no curse like the Bostock one last week. People chasing some money, chasing some points. That 170 odd was huge and a lot of people would have brought him in.
00:11:18
Jake
yeah, hopefully there's not, none of that for Carapane, but yeah, if it, if it works for you and you've got a plan, go for it. and I do like Shibasaki out like a, obviously a fellow Bronco to, to another Bronco.
00:11:26
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:11:33
Jake
you're not doubling, doubling down then. so yeah, it might, it's, it sounds good. and yeah, if you've got the plan in place, go for it.
00:11:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Spicy. It's very spicy. And it's just the trades. Like if I had 10 trades left after making two this week, I'd feel a lot more comfortable doing it. But... As you are, Jake is same as me, mate. going down to eight trades. I'm pretty sure Paul as well, he's down to eight trades. We're getting really, really thin.
00:12:01
Tackles and Tinnies
again, you said that, Chris, like there's carnage every single week, mate. Like it's just tough. It is so, so tough. But yeah, he's obviously going to be on the radar. Boys, are you looking at him, Chris, Jake, this week?
00:12:12
Jake
I'm not personally. I'm definitely on the season keeper and enough look out. only want to start. I'm down to, yeah, I'll be after making my two trades, I'll be on eight trades this week.
00:12:26
Jake
that's if I definitely commit to two. I've got a similar mindset to you, Ryan. I'm forward thinking, trying to plan. Yeah, I'm looking to bring in like Tedesco next week.
00:12:38
Jake
That's kind of the the main player I don't have yet. And yeah, i he's obviously number one on my watch list for me.
00:12:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:12:45
Jake
He's definitely been the best performing in the fullback, I feel, over the past month or two easily. Papenhausen has kind of died off. He hurt me over the weekend. He was my captain and only got 60. So...
00:12:57
Jake
so Yeah, I'm definitely looking at enough and Karaz this week, essentially. So they're roughly my two trades. And yeah, and that's for me because that allows me full stop, bit of money in the bank and get to go for the superstars, those season keepers.
00:13:06
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:13:14
Jake
But Karapani for me, no.
00:13:16
Chris
Yeah, no, he's not on my radar either. He could have been potentially, but I'm actually doing the exact same thing as Jake this week. But the only issue is that I was planning to only just but trade in Kiraz this week but and just save a trade.
00:13:30
Chris
But Mamazulis got named at 14 for the Bunnies.
00:13:33
Tackles and Tinnies
you
00:13:34
Chris
And and i think i and i't I don't see him got playing going back to playing 90 again, especially Brandon Smith coming coming to the team probably next month for the rabbits. So I'm to have to nuff him out now whilst he's got, still got maximum value.
00:13:49
Chris
So I'm probably going to go Kalani goings for that and then work it out somehow instead. I could, but I could, I could nuff out somebody like ah ah Adam Dewey who I've still, for some reason, can't seem to get rid of. Yeah.
00:14:01
Chris
and And, and, yeah and, and bring him down to Karapani.
00:14:03
Tackles and Tinnies
I feel you, bro.
00:14:06
Chris
But the thing is, is it's the, it's the extra 90 K. I don't know if I'll need it yet, but last thing i want to do is find out in a couple of weeks. I want to make a trade. And if it wasn't for the fact that I hadn't, didn't have that extra 90 K, I would have been able to make that trade, especially now trades going low.
00:14:22
Chris
I think it's just to be safer.
00:14:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:14:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:14:24
Tackles and Tinnies
Is Adam Dewey at five eight or center wing for you currently? Yeah, that's tough.
00:14:27
Chris
He's had center wing for me. Yeah.
00:14:32
Tackles and Tinnies
That is tough.
00:14:32
Chris
He scored 69 last week. He was actually pretty good.
00:14:34
Tackles and Tinnies
All right.
00:14:35
Chris
You know? but so
00:14:36
Tackles and Tinnies
Get your tiger's hat off, mate. Speak the truth. Speak the truth.
00:14:41
Chris
almost won last week.
00:14:42
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, truth.
00:14:43
Jake
You'd prefer Dewey in your center wing though. you don't want him and You don't want him kind of hogging up one of those 5.8 spots, I think. And then you could even hold him for the meantime, Chris. He'll be playing for you next week.
00:14:55
Jake
So depending on who you have in those 5.8s as well.
00:14:56
Chris
Well, that's exactly right. Yeah.
00:14:58
Jake
So yeah, just it's all about kind of finding those right opportunities to buy and sell essentially.
00:14:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:05
Jake
So yeah, 69, mate. that is yeah That's good for Dewey. So yeah, I'd be taking that for sure.
00:15:12
Chris
I wish I had taken it. I didn't put the reserve on him.
00:15:15
Jake
Yeah, look. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. So...
00:15:21
Tackles and Tinnies
counting out how many boys I've got for our next week. I think I'm going to have 13. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. I've got 12. four five seven eight nine ten eleven twelve i got twelve So if I go Kytoga upgrade somewhere, they'll get me to 13. I think I'll just have to ride with that because obviously Nathan Lawson, i was banking on him playing, but obviously he's been essentially nuffed out now, which is not optimal.
00:15:49
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Chris, how many boys you got for next week?
00:15:53
Chris
I've got 14 at the moment.
00:15:54
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, look at you, King.
00:15:55
Chris
Yep.
00:15:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Jake, how many you got?
00:15:59
Jake
I've reversed my two trades at the moment and yeah, without making any trades, I'll have 12 for the next week.
00:16:05
Tackles and Tinnies
Okay, similar.
00:16:07
Jake
So yeah, so sitting pretty well.
00:16:08
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Yep. Now, boys, I think we start looking at some players of interest and I'm just having a look on my screen. So, we've obviously got guys like Karapani.
00:16:21
Tackles and Tinnies
What are our thoughts on some other players of interest? Chris, you got some names for me?
00:16:27
Chris
Yeah, definitely. I think obviously Kiraz is the first one we talk about, and I think we did talk a bit a little about that him, but I think you, in my view, he's a definitely must buy.
00:16:37
Chris
comes to a really, really good draw.
Hooker Positions and Long-term Strategy
00:16:40
Chris
Sima, another guy who comes into a really, really good draw on the same team. Viliami Kikau, are you guys interested at all?
00:16:47
Tackles and Tinnies
like Out of like annoyance, I can't do it because you guys talked me how to kick out like weeks ago. And I was like, he's like, 550K. You're like, don't get kick out. there He's gone up in price and now he's break even so low.
00:17:00
Tackles and Tinnies
But yeah, that's the same logic of Jacob Preston, mate. Just getting one of those back rowers from the Bulldogs and one of the arguably the best team in the comp. Got Lockie Galvin there now. It's another Dynamo providing some board on him.
00:17:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, I love that shout. That's a great shout, Chris.
00:17:17
Chris
Yeah. And then the other one this week, I think that a lot of people are going to start thinking about as well is, and it's basically what's on the back of Sandon Smith last week, getting his injury. People thinking about getting in their, their, their end of, end of, end of year hooker.
00:17:32
Chris
And that's either Harry Grant or Blake Fraley or, or Connor Watson. don't I actually really like Harry Grant because he's now bottomed out. He's found some form, you know, in these last two weeks, you know, and then during origin.
00:17:45
Chris
And he backed up them from Perth on Saturday. So I think you can be pretty confident he'll back up in round 19. Like I know he doesn't play 18, but, you know, if if you don't if you want to go, if you want to max if you want to trade out Sanders Smith now, you know, nowadays he's on the buy, might be a perfect time, really. Yeah.
00:18:03
Tackles and Tinnies
Chris, I think you've missed a player. Jaz Tavunga is the absolute goat. He's starting hooker for Manly. He's back, baby. He's going to be averaging 60. His points per minute is unreal.
00:18:15
Tackles and Tinnies
Have faith. Get Jazzy. Yeah.
00:18:19
Jake
If I had Jazz, need to be going Sam McIntyre, Chris, if you're looking for a hooker. He's that stepping man for Robson. so
00:18:27
Tackles and Tinnies
That's true. Yeah, Jake, any boys of interest for you this week?
00:18:30
Jake
yeah but look might Yeah, definitely my main one is Karaz, with that round 18 buy coverage as well. A man I don't have, which, yeah, he's definitely the best in form in that center wing at the moment is Herbie.
00:18:48
Jake
So for those that don't have him, I would love to somehow bring in Herbie. But once again, I am happy to see it because he won't be playing that round 18. But yeah, he's going to be cracking 900K for sure. He's got a break even at 47. He's going 100 plus again, the way he's going.
00:19:05
Jake
Yeah.
00:19:05
Tackles and Tinnies
oh yeah yep
00:19:07
Jake
Yeah, look, I know we'll speak about Karapani. I personally am not bringing him in, but I think one worth talking about is Jed Stewart. If you're looking for someone to play, but he's definitely a risky one.
00:19:16
Tackles and Tinnies
yep
00:19:22
Jake
I don't see him being a high-scoring player for them at the moment. Yeah. He's there after Hopper Whitey with the injury. Now Tamale with the injury as well.
00:19:34
Jake
So he's got his opportunity through that. Raiders are a great team though. So he could have that potential to score big, but I am ready for him to be like a bit of an A nightmare, which I think we've all discussed on the side too.
00:19:47
Jake
Quickly looking, there's not really anyone that's really catching my eye too much except for Karaz personally. Looking at center wings as well, bit of a pod one in a way who can provide some good coverage could be Murray Tuolagi for the Cows.
00:20:01
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:20:05
Jake
if i yeah If you don't see him making Queensland, which I don't think he will, he's kind of missed his opportunity this year with his injury niggles. That's probably one that I just saw that I wouldn't mind as well.
00:20:18
Jake
Yeah, Grant, that was another great one there, Chris. For those people that do need a hooker, yeah, I'd probably be picking Grant. I know there's a lot of talk around people having the entire Storm spine.
00:20:32
Jake
and know that's being thrown around.
00:20:34
Tackles and Tinnies
That's me.
00:20:34
Jake
But yeah, I'm all for it though. I know Storm, we've discussed in the past, they just share their points around. So between Munster, Hughes, Pappy, like and then, yeah, if you bring in Grant or whatnot,
00:20:48
Jake
They're players that they're going to get you at least 50, surely, nearly every single week. They have so much potential to go big, though. They're try scoring machines at times.
00:20:57
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:21:00
Jake
So, yeah, for me, my favorite is probably Grant. But, yeah, no one's really jumping out for me this week, personally. Yeah, I'm just completely focused on bringing in Karaz. He's a season keeper for me.
00:21:11
Jake
got that round 18 buy coverage, and then I'll be looking looking past the origin buy period and start getting start getting some lock-in trades after that.
00:21:22
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:22
Chris
Yeah, I do really like Imari Talangi, Shao, Jake, because he was absolutely killing it. He was averaging like close to 85-90 for a while when the um Cowboys had their run. And this week, Jackson Perdue's back at left center, which is when he made that run. So I think that the Cowboys will have a lot better attack down that left wing, it'll probably score a couple of more tries yet.
00:21:44
Chris
Yeah, I really like that. He's in my draft team, and I'm pretty excited yeah effort for this week against the Titans.
00:21:52
Tackles and Tinnies
Let's not get too chatty with the Titans, mate.
00:21:52
Jake
That's it, mate. The Queenslander, he does some good work.
00:21:53
Tackles and Tinnies
100%.
00:21:54
Jake
I know he's not in the team, but he'll do some good work.
00:21:58
Tackles and Tinnies
hundred visit I think it's kind of hard this week because like guys who are potentially relevant have huge BEs. It's like, oh, do I just wait a week? But then you wait a week, they have the bias. It's like not until around 19. So there's a guy on my list here as well. and Now with the news that Lehigh Upper White is now fullback, do we have love for him even with that 120 BE, which has very much deterred me because I'm trying to make some cash?
00:22:24
Tackles and Tinnies
Chris, what are thoughts on Lehigh?
00:22:26
Chris
Yeah, i think he's he's I think he's become a good pod, actually, ever since his HIA. um I think it's hard to buy him I just don't think he's he's a he's your one-year top four or five CT dubs that finished a year. You're wasting a trade to get him in. That being said, he and you know he he probably could go potentially massive this week against the Tigers.
00:22:51
Chris
you know given the Manly turmoil. But the problem is that he's always at risk of losing that fullback spot and then being put on the wing again. And we know that Manly like get most of their tries on that right wing and not on that left wing where he'll be put on he'll be put left to...
00:23:06
Chris
And even if Turbo doesn't come back to fullback, if Manly lose another couple of games, they might just put Kula back in into fullback too.
00:23:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:23:15
Chris
And now you're stuck in this fullback roulette in Manly. Yeah. So I think he's a void. If you've hold if you've held him all this time, i think you definitely, you know, you're very excited and very happy this week. Yeah. But if you've sold him, you don't have him. Yeah.
00:23:28
Chris
Bad luck.
00:23:28
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:23:28
Chris
Yeah.
00:23:29
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah Thoughts, Jakey?
00:23:33
Jake
Yeah, i you know me, I don't like the high break evens.
00:23:36
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, I'm like low ones either, either.
00:23:37
Jake
Yeah, I'm all for, yeah.
00:23:40
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:23:41
Chris
yeah
00:23:42
Jake
So, yeah, if you've got him, yeah, obviously, i wouldn't be selling any players with high break
00:23:48
Chris
Thank you.
00:23:49
Jake
We're hitting towards the back end of the season, depending on how you're doing well with your trades. I wouldn't be scared of holding the players if they are going to lose money. That's why you kind of want to be looking for those stronger players that you're happy to keep.
00:24:00
Jake
But in terms of center wings or even fullback positions, with the injury to Fletcher Sharp, I feel like there's a great opportunity. Like he's in the 700. What's his price? He's sitting at 719.
00:24:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Except $750.
00:24:13
Jake
seven nine say
00:24:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:24:15
Jake
So there's a lot of cash there with Fletcher Sharp. And I think he's in hospital, got a liver or kidney. He's ruptured or something from memory. So he doesn't look like he's in a great way.
00:24:27
Jake
I think even some family, maybe his girlfriend or whatnot has flown over to Perth as well.
00:24:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:24:33
Jake
So yeah, hopefully he's okay. But yeah, for Supercoach, I feel like he's a pretty easy sell. And when he's in that high or low 700s,
00:24:40
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, for sure.
00:24:42
Chris
Wow.
00:24:42
Jake
it's pretty easy to pretty much pick up a lot of player, like any good player that you kind of need this week. Yeah. I would love to do sharp to Karaz, but it won't work for me this week personally. So I'll be selling sharp to Teddy next week personally, I'm actually looking just my, just my trades and everything this week. Haven't worked out with the buyers and everything. And,
00:25:10
Jake
only have 17 before I make trades able to play and I wouldn't mind just making sure I get my flex in there.
00:25:16
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:25:16
Chris
I think you make a really good point, Jake, in the sense that as much as he's a good buy, Jacob Kiraz is probably the more urgent or the more prescient trade. And so therefore, you just there's just no space for it to buy him this week.
00:25:29
Chris
Yeah. Unless you've got heaps of money in the bank. Yeah.
00:25:32
Jake
Yeah, that's it.
00:25:32
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. And the, there's another big money making, sorry, money loss guy in Christian Tupolotti, the money man, huge break even. and I frothed the money man Tupolotti, kind at He's got 114 break even.
00:25:50
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Can't really touch and come back from the hamstring. Obviously it was the other leg, but my God, when he plays, he is bloody good. Yeah. i think you've got to wait a little bit but i' tell you what he'd be a great pod i can just feel like he's he's gonna pop off again and you want to be there riding it with him curious thoughts matter
00:26:08
Jake
Yeah, fade... Oh, sorry. Sorry interject. But yeah, fade Tui this week and um bring back bring in Gutho, guys.
00:26:11
Chris
Nah, you go first, Mike.
00:26:17
Jake
That's the play.
00:26:17
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:26:19
Tackles and Tinnies
i didn't want to bring up the trauma jake
00:26:22
Jake
Yeah, yeah. of yeah ah yeah ah I've stuffed up there. so But yeah, it'll be interesting to see how Gutho and Tui go this week.
00:26:33
Chris
Yeah, no, look, I just think you can't you can't bring him in because you can't trust his hamstrings. You know, they're they're very suspect, you know, but they don't have a bad join us there. I mean, they've had para this week, but then they do run into Canberra, Sydney, the Bulldogs, but then they have the cows.
00:26:48
Chris
And so, you know, you could he could go off, you know, but I think there's more chance he'll get injured than go off.
00:26:48
Jake
Thank
00:26:52
Chris
Yeah. Actually, will go off because he's injured.
00:26:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Get the money.
00:26:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:26:57
Tackles and Tinnies
And Chris, I think you're probably the best guy to speak about this. Latu Fainu, potentially a downgrade option for Munster or a Jaden Campbell. Would you look at getting Latu from the Tigers?
00:27:10
Chris
Yeah, yeah, he's an interesting one because, yeah, scored 64 points last week. And it was like, I think he came off the bench too. He's starting this week at at the seven. i think that he's actually a very, very good candidate, especially if you're looking to jump off, if you need a ticket to jump off Jaden Campbell, if you don't believe in him or something like that.
00:27:21
Tackles and Tinnies
Love that.
00:27:29
Chris
Because for the last two years, you actually have seen that you can play with one player. uh, five, eight, whether that was last year, you know, when we had Lockie Galvin or this year for a lot of players who have got LKT as that backup.
00:27:45
Chris
I think if you buy him, I think it's probably says more that you don't believe in Jaden Campbell or either that, or you're trying to use that money to buy another luxury CT dub that you want, you know, that you really want.
00:27:56
Chris
But in my view, unless you're doing that, I think it's a no from me dog, that kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:03
Tackles and Tinnies
Do you have any love for Latu, Jakey?
00:28:06
Jake
I haven't even looked at Latu at all.
00:28:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah,
00:28:11
Jake
What's he priced
Managing Injuries: Cleary and Others
00:28:12
Tackles and Tinnies
289K, negative 11 break even, versing Manly this week.
00:28:12
Jake
at?
00:28:17
Tackles and Tinnies
Obviously got that halfback position. Won't get the dual because won't be playing there enough.
00:28:21
Jake
Yep.
00:28:21
Chris
Mm.
00:28:21
Tackles and Tinnies
But now with the news of Doreen Buller, you're probably going to get that 80-minute performance as well for at least the next coming month.
00:28:28
Jake
I agree.
00:28:28
Tackles and Tinnies
Definitely spicy.
00:28:30
Jake
Yeah, and with Gavin leaving the Tigers as well... but surely Latu is there one of their halves, essentially, moving forward. He's kind of always been that guy on the on the up for them just kind of hasn't really had his opportunity yet.
00:28:45
Chris
Mm.
00:28:48
Jake
So, yeah if he, I guess with Bullard obviously missing out now, he might, yeah, come out hot and firing for them. Show Benji that he definitely is the right man to lock down that spot.
00:28:59
Jake
Yeah. I guess it just depends on how you're looking for your five eights because the Tigers are playing that round 18. So personally, I do ah ah definitely don't mind it.
00:29:12
Jake
Could be a bit of a sell, save you some money. You don't necessarily yeah need a to run two five eights this year. Definitely not. But for me, I'm running Munster and Metcalf and I don't consider might light see myself so so selling either one of those boys.
00:29:26
Chris
yeah.
00:29:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, fair. I'm similar position. Like if I didn't commit to Munster or JC many weeks ago, ah probably would have jumped on Latu this week. Like obviously such a low price, huge upside, very similar in regards to Christian Tupolotu regarding his hamstrings. He's quite injury prone in his young career.
00:29:49
Tackles and Tinnies
So that's obviously a bit scary as well, but huge upside. which also helps Jerome Luai as well. And then, then obviously know how good Luai can be when he's got someone helping him around the park.
00:30:02
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Just, I think he's like, a like a five, eight, four, five. So I guess you're looking for that downgrade, yeah, sure. Or a sideways trade potentially from KLT, King Tonga.
00:30:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, like that, but otherwise not really, especially he's not going to get that dual position that definitely deters me for sure.
00:30:22
Chris
Ryan, is that, was that, we know that Luai can be like a really good player when when he's got someone helping you out.
00:30:29
Chris
Was that a reference to last Wednesday?
00:30:35
Tackles and Tinnies
fact
00:30:35
Chris
agree with it. If that's what you were suddenly referencing to.
00:30:38
Tackles and Tinnies
he had He had a single-legged Cleary and Luai looked like the best half out there. Yeah. I don't know how much that says about him, but yeah, Cleary. And that's another one too, you boys.
00:30:50
Tackles and Tinnies
I'm talking about players looking by, but may as well. It's good segue for Cleary.
00:30:53
Chris
Thank you.
00:30:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, concerning because he obviously literally said that he heard a pop in his groin, i've heard mixed readings and hearings regarding what he's going to be.
00:31:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Obviously, Nane this week, but very concerning in regards to his play, being a kicker, as well, at 764K, he's got 116 breakeven, he's obviously got the Bulldogs this which was a very touched tough matchup, pardon me, and then he's got Origin Duties coming after that.
00:31:26
Tackles and Tinnies
Now, Jakey, would you sell Cleary if you were in that position or you just like set and forget, low trade sort of vibe?
00:31:34
Jake
Yeah, so I do have Cleary. And I've been an avid man behind holding on to him. He's definitely the best halfback in the game. And when Cleary's on, honestly, yeah, he's a man you definitely need to have in your team.
00:31:51
Jake
Injury scares, though. It sucks. It definitely can change everything.
00:31:56
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:31:57
Jake
But I can't see the Panthers risking... Cleary if they don't have to. They're coming up against first place dogs.
00:32:08
Jake
It's at ComBank. So I wouldn't say really a ah home game for either team essentially. But... the Panthers did a good job on the Warriors this weekend just gone.
00:32:22
Jake
So, and that was with all their origin stars out. If there was concern there, like you'd be resting Cleary if you're Ivan.
00:32:30
Chris
Thank you.
00:32:32
Jake
So for me, I'm still holding once again, it's a lot of money there, but if something does go wrong and he's out for the next four to six weeks,
00:32:46
Jake
Yeah, you won't get too many more games out of him, but at least he can kind of turn into maybe that pod player going into the finals of Supercoach and everything like that. So for those that have held, which is myself over the past month or so, ever since Origins kind of kicked off, ah'd be I'd continue to hold him.
00:33:07
Tackles and Tinnies
yep chris thoughts
00:33:10
Chris
Yeah, no. I think it's also been reported that he's not goal-kicking this week, and Dylan Edwards is probably going to be doing it as well. But I'm in total agreement Jake. you At this point, if you're ah if if you've sold him, you're you're really, really pleased that you sold him. But if you're a hold, if you've held all this time, you've got to keep him, you just have to pray that he comes back okay and gets through his origin unscathed.
00:33:32
Chris
Because like we I said two weeks ago, his draw right after origin is insane. He plays... Parramatta, Souths, West Tigers, Titans, and then Newcastle.
00:33:44
Chris
And if he gets back, if his groin comes good, he's going to be scoring big points for sure. But obviously this week, yeah, definitely a lot of concern, especially because he's not been getting a lot of the try assists. He's really been going up by eight.
00:33:55
Chris
you know He's getting a try contribution and he's kicking that goal. But if he's not, then he's going to go up by four this week.
00:33:58
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:34:01
Chris
you know And it's already gonna be hard enough to score against the Doggies. Yeah.
00:34:04
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Yeah, again, I think for me personally, boys, I echo what you're saying. just think you've just got to hold him Don't have the trades to him go to anyone else. And again, we sort of talked about this last week, Jake.
00:34:16
Tackles and Tinnies
Who are you going to? We're talking about Isaiah Katoa, Nico Hines, can't touch him. I refuse to touch him. I don't care if he popped in the 150. I refuse to touch him.
00:34:28
Tackles and Tinnies
I have some smoky chat. I heard like some people are saying, oh, you should be playing lock. I'm like, that's crazy.
00:34:35
Chris
Yeah.
00:34:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Don't know about that. Double mouth guard vibe. Yeah, who else? There's no one else. So you may as well just hold him.
00:34:42
Chris
yeah
00:34:43
Tackles and Tinnies
may as hold him.
00:34:44
Jake
Yeah, if i it' if Nathan, let's say, were to go down this week or he does play game three and he gets injured and there's an escalation to his injury...
00:34:44
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:34:57
Jake
Something I would consider is turning him into like someone like Jake Elliott, who's just a 198 Nuff at the Roosters.
00:35:06
Tackles and Tinnies
yep
00:35:07
Jake
him into that five eight halfback Nuff, for me personally, it would work.
00:35:07
Chris
Thank you.
00:35:12
Jake
I'd have Luke Metcalfe, who's also a dual. Gives me that opportunity for that little backup to be able to swap him round and provide that coverage. so yeah, that's, that's if obviously Nathan does go down, with something bad and would have ruled him out for the season or anything like that.
00:35:29
Jake
but yeah, to your point, Ryan, There isn't really anyone great to go to except for, Hines, who, which I know you won't personally go to him, Ryan, but I'm sure there's plenty of other people out there that would definitely be probably looking. If you don't have Hughes, you'd go Hughes. If you don't have Hines, you'd probably go Hines.
00:35:48
Jake
So.
00:35:49
Tackles and Tinnies
You bought him, didn't you, Chris? You went back to Heinz?
00:35:51
Chris
Yeah, I did, actually.
00:35:53
Tackles and Tinnies
You're a cat.
00:35:53
Chris
ive like you know like i'm
00:35:54
Tackles and Tinnies
You're a cat.
00:35:54
Chris
not upset about it, actually. i was Actually, I was disappointed against the Dragons, you know because I was spouting out all these stats where, you know, he's going to go 140 and forty in reason why, like because he always pops off. And what did he score?
00:36:05
Chris
Did he score like something? 50? man, it was just so annoying.
00:36:08
Tackles and Tinnies
I warned you, brother. I warned you.
00:36:10
Chris
But, you know, look, he's 600K at the moment. And, you know, he scored 90 last week. Like any other 600K player and he scores 90, you're so over the moon.
00:36:21
Chris
You're so happy. I think we're just upset that because you know what he could be and what he was in the past and anything just looks, you know, it's just, you go, he's not the player he once was, but he's still a really good player.
Player Evaluation: Tino and Asako
00:36:31
Chris
He's averaging like still 75 or something like that at the moment.
00:36:34
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:36:34
Chris
Let me just double check. Yeah, he's averaging 70 this year. Yeah.
00:36:38
Tackles and Tinnies
So frustrating. So frustrating. So that's good. Cleary chat, boys. Now another big boy for origin, and he's a very big boy, Tino Fasul Malawi.
00:36:51
Tackles and Tinnies
I'm holding. Again, one of those guys, he's got that sternum issue currently. He's at 624K.
00:36:57
Chris
Thank
00:36:57
Tackles and Tinnies
He dropped cash last week. he' again He's got 126 break even this week. More than likely going to be dropping more cash. You'll probably get him for high 500k next week, which is pretty wild, almost back to starting price.
00:37:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, Jake, as a fellow Titans man, what are thoughts on Tino? Would you sell just hold him?
00:37:18
Jake
Yeah, I'm personally in the hold boat as well. I can definitely understand if people are selling him. He just isn't in great form either.
00:37:30
Jake
I know he was like the cheapest he's probably ever been on Supercoach with that 540 or whatever he was to start the season. And I think a lot of people... saw that opportunity to grab Tino early on. They've held him for a very long time. So he's, he's made people money regardless, but yeah, we all have heard, I think that he's carrying that sternum injury.
00:37:53
Chris
Thank you.
00:37:54
Jake
and yeah, he's he's just, he's just not getting us big points week in, week out. The only plus is that he's dual. So you can kind of use him between your front row and your second row.
00:38:06
Jake
Yeah, it's definitely a tough one. He's obviously out next week. He's an, uh, but after both game one and two, um, origin, he seems to be absolutely beaten up as well.
00:38:17
Jake
I think he got like a ah ah cheek kind of knock, Liam Martin, I think in one game and yeah, he, he's just coming out battered and bruised as
00:38:17
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:38:26
Jake
yeah, for the, he's always going to back up. He's the captain of his team. And we know the efforts there, but at the end of the day, we're looking for super coach points as well.
00:38:36
Jake
And I definitely understand the sell, but for me, I'm holding, I'm actually looking to sell AFB this week, instead of Tino.
00:38:47
Jake
And that's purely based off. The only thing is that Tino has that jewel. That's probably the only reason that yeah, AFB is the one that might be disappearing for me this week into enough.
00:38:59
Tackles and Tinnies
Interesting, interesting. Chris, thoughts? Okay.
00:39:03
Chris
Yeah, no, actually, Jake, you make a really, really good point in terms of maybe considering to sell him, actually. Yeah, i i'm I'm also, just because I don't have to trade this week to sell him, would have been awesome if we could have sold him at $750. I think that's what stops a lot of people as well.
00:39:18
Chris
They feel like they could have sold him at $750, but now he's $600, $620. six hundred six hundred and twenty Okay, that sternum injury, yeah, is really concerning. But I think, you know, at this point in time, you know, I think it's one of the luxuries.
00:39:28
Chris
You can you can just hold him, you know, and then just to have to play him, you know.
00:39:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:39:32
Chris
I mean, you could. yeah I mean, if if you are, and here's the thing. Like, I don't think anybody is, at the moment, lacking from enough gun forwards or two RFs. You know, I'm sure most people have Aaron Clark, you know, your Haas.
00:39:47
Chris
You know, may, I don't know if there's anybody that you can really buy specifically that you want to buy.
00:39:51
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:39:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:39:53
Tackles and Tinnies
And especially with Keyon getting that duel next week at round 18, just another luxury you can switch around. And again, you only need two front rowers and May and Haas are just lock and load every single week.
00:40:01
Chris
Okay.
00:40:04
Tackles and Tinnies
So you definitely have that luxury of just not even playing them if you don't want to. And I think this week my current setup, he's not getting played for me. So, and again, we'll go through that shortly. But yeah, again,
00:40:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Had the luxury of so many jewels this this year. Makes it a lot easier. there's another guy I want to talk about, boys. Jermaine Asako.
00:40:29
Tackles and Tinnies
so obviously, he popped off a couple of weeks ago getting that huge score. He's currently valued at 726K with 101 break-even. He's versing the South Sydney Rabbitohs and he's got the buy next week.
00:40:42
Tackles and Tinnies
are your thoughts, Chris, on Asako?
00:40:45
Chris
Yeah, I'm holding him. I want to keep him for for the Rabbits. Yeah, because that you know they leak points regularly. He could go very, very big. so And I need him this week as well. you know I don't have enough sin CT dubs this week, so he's staying
00:41:03
Tackles and Tinnies
What about you, Jackie?
00:41:03
Jake
Yeah, I i think if youre yeah if you're loaded up with cash, you're pretty spoilt for trades, you got numbers next week, and for whatever reason, you don't have Herbie, make the upgrade maybe.
00:41:18
Jake
Yeah, just for shoots and gigs essentially. But yeah, everyone's obviously concerned for numbers this week, numbers next week, all that kind of stuff.
00:41:28
Jake
seems to be a few people struggling this week. around the grounds. So I know for me personally, as I said, if I don't make any trades, I've only got 17 playing.
00:41:40
Jake
So yeah, I need i even need Jermaine Asako this week, let alone next week, or the week after, sorry, round 19, because I know he's on the bye next week. But yeah, he's a hold.
00:41:53
Jake
Yeah, Dolphins, once again, are looking great. knows, they might start going a bit more right because they got that familiarity familiar hourity with Avarillo and Osaka on that right edge. Bostock's gone.
00:42:07
Jake
think it's Junior Tupo has moved into that left left-w winger.
00:42:09
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, was literally about to check.
00:42:11
Jake
Yep. So, yeah. um But at the same time, Herbie might even go huge again now. He might be like, sweat I've lost my man Jack on my outside me.
00:42:24
Jake
And yeah, he might go back into that dummy and run, just hold it and go through himself. So yeah, but I am holding Jermaine as well.
00:42:37
Tackles and Tinnies
Again, with that converting, it just it helps a lot because, again, he might not get any ball, which I feel like has been the past week and a half or two weeks or past two games.
00:42:37
Jake
Long spiel for a hold.
00:42:41
Chris
Thank you.
00:42:46
Tackles and Tinnies
He's had no ball and he's still getting pretty good scores overall. i think now with Bostock out, they're probably going to lean to go right a little bit more. That'll be very interesting. And obviously, when Hammer goes back to origin, we're going to see Abarillo back to fullback.
00:43:05
Tackles and Tinnies
Who will play center? Do we know when Avrilio goes back to fullback?
00:43:10
Jake
Max V guy, if that's how you say it.
00:43:12
Chris
Mm-mm-mm.
00:43:12
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, yeah.
00:43:13
Jake
Yep. They've done the same for both games so far, so I don't see any change.
00:43:14
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:43:17
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Yep. And you got Junior Tupou there as well. Oh, hang on. No, sorry. He's already there. Yeah, yep.
00:43:24
Jake
Yep.
00:43:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Okay. Yeah, fair call. Fair call. Boy, is there anyone else knew you guys want to talk about before we get into some other chat?
00:43:32
Jake
Personally, nothing from me. I said, I'm really struggling to find other trades to get. And I think I'm kind of keeping round 18 and round 19 at the forefront of my mind.
00:43:41
Chris
Thank
00:43:44
Jake
And yeah, i I've just honed in on bringing some cash this week through enough.
00:43:46
Chris
you.
00:43:52
Jake
And I want Karaz. I really want Karaz in my team. So... yeah i'm i'm really struggling to look elsewhere and provide any other context unfortunately
00:44:02
Tackles and Tinnies
yep yeah fair cool mate
00:44:05
Chris
Yeah, no, I wouldn't overthink it. it's It's like what we've all been saying. There's there's not much to it this week. It's bye, Kiroz, save a trade, or hey, enough somebody out you know to get ready for round 18, round 19 for the run home, really.
00:44:18
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:44:20
Chris
Yeah.
00:44:20
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. Yeah, i second that, boys. I'm trying to find players of interest or guys to hold a cell. I think it's pretty common sense. like guys like Alex Johnson, I think if he didn't pop on last week, he's probably not the guy to get anymore.
00:44:35
Tackles and Tinnies
Zach Hosking, I think because he's playing round 18, he's definitely a hold. Could potentially look at selling in round 19. But again, until Origin's really dumb boys, it's pretty much hold, pray for the best, make a trade and just get to 13 to 14 players. And then Yeah, now we really get to play super coach at round 19.
00:44:55
Tackles and Tinnies
So I guess, with boys, I think we go straight into captains. Now, for me personally, I've just gone big dick energy here. I've just gone straight Karaz, VC, Herbie Farmworth, C.
00:45:10
Chris
Oh.
00:45:12
Tackles and Tinnies
need to climb the top 1%.
00:45:12
Jake
That's nice. Look, I really like that. Did you end up putting the VC on Herbie last week?
00:45:20
Tackles and Tinnies
Nah, bitched out. But guess what?
00:45:21
Tackles and Tinnies
my My B team, in other words, my better team with Laura, her team's absolutely stacked. And she VC looped Herbie last week.
00:45:21
Jake
Yeah.
00:45:31
Jake
Yeah, yeah. I swear there was another bloke who told you to do that. I can't recall. But yeah, look, i that's great.
00:45:38
Chris
Thank you.
Captaincy Decisions and Impact
00:45:41
Jake
I'm definitely considering the VC on Karaz. I'm also considering Turbo and Garrick, two that I'm actually floating on as well, just for a bit of a yeah pod play there.
00:45:57
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:45:59
Jake
Yeah, I'm excited to have them both on that right edge. I'm ready. Turbo's, ah I I feel like, a big risk because he's just not looking the same. But Garrick, Turbo, combination,
00:46:13
Jake
that's so dangerous. they're, they're at home. They've had the rest. They've had like essentially 10 days, 14 days to hopefully gel and, them, get themselves prepared.
00:46:27
Jake
And they're up against, I think the tigers, is that right, Chris?
00:46:30
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:46:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:46:32
Jake
Yeah, cool. so not to put down the Tigers anyway, but that it's not like the manly Manly's coming up against Canberra or the Dogs or something, like coming up against like a top four team. So, yeah, the cheeky Garrick or Turbo is another option for me. And then, or just play it so safe for like a Haas or a Pappenhausen, like with a C or something like that.
00:46:55
Jake
So, yeah, they're my thoughts.
00:46:59
Chris
Yeah, i' I'm not going to VC either, Zach Lomax. He's playing the Dragons this week. You know, he's formed a team. You know, he yeah he's been a beast dick away from scoring a couple of tries.
00:47:11
Chris
You know, like last week, you know, Dean Hawker just –
00:47:11
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:47:15
Chris
Apparently just has no long ball. keeps passing to Will Penasini and Will Penasini scores. you know if He was so close to scoring 100+. Ryan Paffenhausen might be also a really good VC this week.
00:47:26
Chris
You know, 2 o'clock this this Saturday. Is it Saturday Sunday? 2 o'clock this Sunday?
00:47:31
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Yeah.
00:47:32
Jake
Yeah, two o'clock Sunday.
00:47:32
Chris
Yeah, against the Sharks, you know, against Nico. you know You know how he scores big at home, you know, that Sunday 2 p.m. And then most likely, I will probably see Drinkie. I know. every he hurts me every time.
00:47:49
Chris
but
00:47:51
Tackles and Tinnies
Goal coach, it could be anything. It could be an absolute demolition or he could pop off and get 200 points. There's no in between.
00:48:01
Jake
There's some crazy ones this
00:48:02
Chris
Or he could get 14 and 33 again. again. ah i don't know why I do this to myself. But yeah, I probably I shouldn't, but I probably will.
00:48:12
Tackles and Tinnies
With Clifford back, I think that's a good job.
00:48:13
Jake
if you would a v say If you were to VC, Chris Pappenhausen, like you were mentioning, are you able to loop if he, want let's say,
00:48:25
Chris
Yep. 100%. I got a free loot with Sand and Smith this week on the buy.
00:48:29
Jake
oh yeah, cool. Yeah, that works for you.
00:48:29
Chris
Yeah.
00:48:32
Jake
Yeah, look, definitely risky, but they are up against the Titans as well and you just never know there too.
00:48:34
Chris
Thank you.
00:48:40
Jake
So if it was up in North Queensland, I'd probably give you a bit more encouragement. But yeah, it's here in Rubina, mate, here at Seabus.
00:48:52
Jake
I'd be avoiding the captain on drinky, I reckon. I reckon tits are bouncing back this week. They're getting the win, mate. So... ah I know we were putting Tino down earlier. You watched Tino go over for a double.
00:49:04
Tackles and Tinnies
I'm hoping.
00:49:05
Chris
but I've got a flame this week. i hope so too.
00:49:08
Jake
Yeah. bring back Bring back Bowie. Bring back Fermor. So,
00:49:13
Tackles and Tinnies
Goal-kicking firm one might have had.
00:49:15
Chris
yeah
00:49:15
Tackles and Tinnies
Surely Weaver.
00:49:16
Jake
yeah, that's it.
00:49:16
Tackles and Tinnies
Surely Weaver. But... Yeah, Fermor with the converting was wild. Like, they got no one else. That's crazy. only thing I'll say about the Pappenhausen VC, the Sharks are, like, notoriously good at defending fullbacks and, like, essentially minimizing their impact for Supercoach.
00:49:35
Tackles and Tinnies
That does scare me, but Amy Park, obviously...
00:49:36
Chris
Thank you.
00:49:38
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, and they're going to go big. You can just feel they're due to, like, disconnect. There been so many times the past, like, three weeks of just fluffed a ball going forward, of knocked a ball. Like, Pappenhausen, that he had two forward pass slash knock-on opportunities where he could have scored last week.
00:49:55
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, I don't hate it, but, yeah, the Melbourne boys, we talked about earlier, this' a they share the ball too well. They're too selfless to, like, go 150 every single week. So, actually, Pappenhausen, yeah,
00:50:07
Tackles and Tinnies
It's scaring me, especially when the Origin boys are there.
00:50:11
Tackles and Tinnies
The turbo shout, though, and I think – yeah, it is 100%.
00:50:12
Jake
It's scary not being on him though too.
00:50:18
Tackles and Tinnies
He's definitely a 50-50 call, but I actually love that turbo shout, Jake. I think simplifying his game and just playing at center, and he knows he can just – I know he looks like he's not running hard because he's doing a bit of a handbrake.
00:50:25
Chris
okay
00:50:32
Tackles and Tinnies
But I feel like the game's simplified now a little bit. doesn't have to do as much running. So, he can just literally just take the line on and have a crack.
00:50:41
Tackles and Tinnies
It's very risky. It's very pod. do like it. I do like it a lot. But I don't have the balls after last week putting the VC on him. Just can't do it.
00:50:52
Tackles and Tinnies
but
00:50:56
Jake
yeah i right now I actually have it on Garrick. I'm hoping and that, yeah, like Garrick's the goal kicker. If Turbo is the one scoring all the tries, like hopefully Garrick is slotting them.
00:51:12
Jake
And if, and Turbo's going to be that deadly, he's going to be throwing try assists and hopefully Garrick's the one that is the one going over. So like DCE is a right edge player.
00:51:20
Tackles and Tinnies
yeah
00:51:24
Jake
Yeah, Turbo and Garricka there could just be as simple as just putting a high ball to Turbo. So, yeah, it's there's so much potential there.
00:51:29
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep.
00:51:34
Jake
Definitely too risky for a captain on either of them for me. But, yeah, putting the putting the blue tag on them, ah yeah, I definitely don't mind it.
00:51:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Yep. It's scary.
00:51:45
Chris
and don't think you can touch turbo.
00:51:45
Tackles and Tinnies
It's so scary.
00:51:47
Chris
i don't think you can touch turbo until he actually shows you big points at some point. Like
Final Strategic Thoughts
00:51:52
Chris
every, every week we've been doing this and he just, he keeps disappointing. And, and I'm a little bit worried that now that all is out as well.
00:52:00
Chris
you know A lot of times they they hang off Garrick because they don't know if DC will just drop it short to garrick sorry to to Ola. But now that Ola's not out there, I think they're go they're going to know that they're going to pass out to Turbo. and you know I think it was it last week or the week before? that It was two weeks ago when you know I think he was trying to go for the trial and he just got bonded out to touch. like you know Turbo from three years ago definitely scores that.
00:52:22
Chris
you know yeah He just doesn't seem to have his legs the moment, sadly.
00:52:25
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah.
00:52:26
Jake
I'm getting desperate though, Chris.
00:52:26
Tackles and Tinnies
I tell you what,
00:52:28
Jake
Yeah, that's the problem for me, mate. When I've had like three losses in a row or something now, I got to try something.
00:52:33
Chris
yeah
00:52:35
Jake
So I'm clutching at straws.
00:52:35
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:38
Chris
But on the flip side, you know, you know, sometimes when you're a hole, you know, the first, the first rule of holes is, you know, stop digging.
00:52:45
Tackles and Tinnies
True.
00:52:45
Jake
Yeah, look at that. so i'm just so I'm just asking for another shovel. So...
00:52:53
Tackles and Tinnies
Oh, boys, I think that's pretty much a wrap there. we' got any final words, Chris?
00:52:59
Chris
Nah, happy super coaching. I'm proud of us. so Under an hour this week.
00:53:02
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah, it's rare.
00:53:03
Chris
Wow. Yeah.
00:53:06
Jake
Yeah, definitely short and sharp for us.
00:53:06
Tackles and Tinnies
Jake and I popped off for two hours last week.
00:53:13
Jake
Yeah, there's too many buying buying opportunities last week. Like I said, yeah, I'm really struggling. Yeah, just got to keep in mind those injuries. They just seem to be coming in hot and fast.
00:53:24
Jake
For those people that are looking at the cheapies of like Jed Stewart, he's the super cheapy kind of one that if you're looking for some points over the next two two weeks or something, he can provide.
00:53:36
Jake
and then But yeah, Carapane, he's the one who's going to make you a lot of money, I feel. So if people are chasing that. But yeah, I don't think I've got too much really.
00:53:44
Tackles and Tinnies
yep
00:53:48
Tackles and Tinnies
yep okay boys we'll quickly sum up my trades this week i've gone caraz in carapane in and i've got vc on caraz and herbie farmworth as my captain chris who you got what are your trades in captain
00:54:04
Chris
I'm trading out Sharp for Kiraz. I'm probably going to nuff out Mamazoulas before he loses me money. And Drinky, please.
00:54:16
Chris
third time Third time's a charm. Surely, surely you've got to go big for me this week. Double points.
00:54:23
Tackles and Tinnies
And, Jakey, have you got, mate?
00:54:25
Jake
I am going, I'm nothing out AFB at this stage, just into Myles Martin, just got a jewel there. that That rate is 198. And through my I am selling Sandon Smith.
00:54:39
Jake
And he's the man turning into Jacob Karaz this week for me at this stage.
00:54:43
Tackles and Tinnies
Yeah. Nice. love that. Okay, boys, that's Tackles and Tinnies, episode nine for the Fantasy Files. Short sharp this week, but obviously plenty of good conversation. And obviously I think that Carapane one is either going to be absolute diamonds or a couple of hard coal rocks there.
00:55:03
Tackles and Tinnies
So again, food for thought, unblocked it in. But happy super coaching, guys. Again, we want to be seen on the algorithm, so we need you guys like, we need you guys sharing, we need you guys giving out five-star reviews on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
00:55:16
Tackles and Tinnies
again, interact with us, guys. I'm doing all my best to through all the platforms and commenting. But you've got Crescens for Chris or Jake and we want to give some shit takes, you just let us know, guys. Happy to share it on the potty as well.
00:55:28
Tackles and Tinnies
Happy suit coaching. Up the Titans. See you, guys.
00:55:33
Jake
See you guys.
