The Final Word: Round 6 Trades, Captains & POD Plays

Timmy Williams coined it Black Friday and with the absolute madness and carnage that occurred in the early game last Friday night between the Rooster and the Bulldogs he was right on the money. 



That game threw up so many shocks and twists and turns and that’s not even taking into account Supercoach! 



Dom Young and James Tedesco&#8230; man what can you say. It was another rough week for my side RTS Pongas 2.0… but Supercoach goes on and each week is a new week. 



Sitting in 81,774th feeling a bit like a South Sydney supporter at the minute.&nbsp;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Strategy&nbsp;</h3>



Get a decent score this week! Preferably 1100+



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Best Value Propositions&nbsp;</h5>



James Schiller



The mail is he probably only has one more game before Albert Hopoate comes back in and replaces him. 



Simply have to get him in for cash generation. Makes you $100k for walking on the field. 



That’s unless he goes out there and pulls a Dom Young… surely not!



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Trade Plans</h5>



Trade 1: Siua Wong OUT – Angus Crichton/Shawn Blore IN 



I think I’m getting both these 2RFs regardless, but just need to decide which one is the more urgent this week. 



Leaning towards Crichton.&nbsp;



Trade 2: Luke Brooks OUT – Nicho Hynes/Jahrome Hughes IN 



Let’s be honest. I tried to get clever with my trades in and out of my halfbacks and fullbacks when as a seasoned Supercoach I should’ve known better. 



Do I now cut my losses and just go back to the mainstream and safe Hynes or go with the “I’m so far back I may as well risk it” approach on Hughes?&nbsp;



Trade 3: Dom Young OUT – James Schiller – IN



Trading a player with a 178 break even to a player with a -117 break even is surely a no brainer.&nbsp;



Here’s the players I’ve identified as PODs (Point of Difference players – less than 10% owned) and SuperPODS (less than 2% owned) that should be on your radar:

<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">PODs &amp; SuperPODS</h3>



Here’s the players I’ve identified as PODs (Point of Difference players – less than 10% owned) and SuperPODS (less than 2% owned) that should be on your radar:



PODs&nbsp;



Wayde Egan



Left field HOK option. Injury concerns are there with a history of HIA and leg injuries, but fit and playing big minutes he’s one of the form players of the comp and that’s reflective in his SC scoring.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



Eliesa Katoa



Running off Jahrome Hughes and running amok.&nbsp;



Jahrome Hughes



If you wanted to pivot away from Nicho and Cleary, the Storm halfback might be just the way to do it. 



Storm’s upcoming draw is very enticing.&nbsp;



<a id='kPCHrUVtSflIiMiB70QNpQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2064527044' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'kPCHrUVtSflIiMiB70QNpQ',sig:'ryUZjxVxvfYSS4-k-W-ZCaAPKnz0StGp3SXnfot2_A0=',w:'594px',h:'379px',items:'2064527044',caption: false ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



SUPERPODS



Shawn Blore



A lot of attention is going towards the Storm’s right edge 2RF and rightly so. Don’t sleep on Shawn Blore who was a great pick up in the trade for Justin Olam. 



Listening to Bellamy in the press conferences, I’m very confident in his job security. At worst, he generates decent cash for you I reckon. 



To be honest I think he could well be a 2RF keeper and finish in the Top-5 averages in the position.&nbsp;



David Fifita



1.2% ownership – probably hits 10% in the next month. 



His two outings so far have been very promising this year and I have seen a distinct uptick in workload in his first game and a half under Hasler. 



Not surprising with Dessy Hasler&#8217;s much celebrated “moneyball” approach to coaching that he would increase the output from his highest paid player indicates Fifita will in all likelihood be the no.1 2RF averaging player this year in Supercoach. 



112 BE you could maybe wait one week but definitely make plans and free up cash to get him next week.&nbsp;



Te Maire Martin 



Very viable option for the troublesome 5-8th position. Another prospective trade-in next week.



Close Watch&nbsp;



Jayden Brailey



I don’t think J Brailey will get any cheaper than what he is now, however he is not an urgent trade-in. 



Close watch and could be very useful over origin with Api and Harry likely missing club games.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">CAPTAIN</h3>



Thinking one of Kalyn Ponga, Zac Lomax, Nicho Hynes or Jahrome Hughes.
