2023 NRL Supercoach: Half yearly review 

With only one team on the bye this week Supercoach seems to have settled down for a moment. 



And after surviving the last 14 weeks of chaotic late outs, resting’s, head knocks and Origin call ups, it&#8217;s time have look back at Season 2023 so far. 



What could have been and the long shots that paid off.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rookies (Players priced below $350,000)</h2>



Months ago, we were all scratching our heads to try and find that rookie priced player that we could flip into a profit, and upgrade to a gun. 



However, 2023 has been a little different with the popular rookies turning out to be in our starting 17’s each week and some even captaincy options. 



The below are the top earners, increasing over $200,000 in value.

Any combination of the above would have been a savvy selection in Round 1 or later on with regards to Jahream Bula, and while many of them are still in our sides, there is no rush to sell. 



I don’t remember a season where we’ve been so fortunate to have the number of Rookies performing so well.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mid Pricers ($350,000 -$550,000)</h2>



This Range has its ups and downs, however there are some clear standouts that have exceeded any pod-hunters dreams. 



The high scoring makes top performers a solid option when choosing our teams each week.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="812" height="330" src="http://13.210.220.211/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.52.53-pm.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2233879" srcset="https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.52.53-pm.png 812w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.52.53-pm-300x122.png 300w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.52.53-pm-768x312.png 768w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.52.53-pm-640x260.png 640w" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 770px" /></figure>



However, the bottom of this list are the players that have lost the most in value this season. 



These drops have been caused by either injury, change of role or out of favour. 



And while not the most relevant to most SuperCoaches, the likes of Starling and Coates have come up in conversation when looking for that super-pod.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Guns ($550,000-$750,000)</h2>



These were the most relevant pre-season, trying to choose the players that could make the jump to the elite premium gun status. 



While hopes were high, only four players have achieved that, Addin Fonua-Blake, Tom Trbojevic, Cody Walker &amp; David Fifita. No surprise that the top teams this year are running with at least two of these three.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="752" height="330" src="http://13.210.220.211/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.55.02-pm.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2233880" srcset="https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.55.02-pm.png 752w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.55.02-pm-300x132.png 300w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.55.02-pm-640x281.png 640w" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 752px" /></figure>



Unfortunately, there are always players who just keep up with the previous years’ performance. 



Many coaches would have started with some of these, or even worse, traded them in thinking they had hit bottom dollar and were about to turn their season around. 



Hopefully you jumped off and didn’t look back.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Premium Guns ($750,000+)</h2>



These are the players we all hoped of having and planned on getting them into our teams as soon as possible. 



However, 2023 has not been kind to the elite of our game, with only Dylan Brown and Nathan Cleary increasing on their starting value. 



Even though Nicho Hynes is currently averageing 99, he is still cheaper than the start of the season, not saying he’s a bad option, just pointing out how great of a 2022 he had.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="752" height="330" src="http://13.210.220.211/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.57.18-pm.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2233881" srcset="https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.57.18-pm.png 752w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.57.18-pm-300x132.png 300w, https://blog.scplaybook.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-07-at-4.57.18-pm-640x281.png 640w" sizes="(max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 752px" /></figure>



All the other players have dropped value, with some plummeting in price. 



There is a silver lining with this group however as they bottom out in price, making them great trade-ins in the coming weeks as many are still in the top scorers for their respective positions.



2023 is on its&#8217; way to be the year of the rookie, with many of the cheaper options outperforming their price-tag and experience. 



Coaches that jumped on early have been rewarded greatly throughout the season.



Good luck for the remaining half of the season!
