Team announcement: Dez Creek

Dezzie, I&#8217;ve talked to you on SC fanatics Moderater/Admin Message bank page that we have, 
An you declared this exact same Backrow makeup an Halves aswell weeks ago , so I no you definitely are not giving the public something different to what you are actually doing behind closed doors. 
Mad respect on that brother. 
Anyway my question is say your 9s don&#8217;t hit your expectations to your current draft selections , 
What are your contingency plans an what positions will you tweak to raise that likely cash to hit that contingency plan. A plan I know you have even if it&#8217;s only in pencil atm..?

Well done last year mate 
I’m hearing the swap with Harry Grant and Momarovski (right spelling I hope) is looking unlikely at the moment I’m thinking a Cook and Billy Walters hooking combo if Walters gets a start .

Yea I don&#8217;t think he put too much effort in this far out tbh. Cleary and extra 10-15 ppg for instance . So an average of 80 ? 
I look forward to these teams closer to kick off

Well done for last year! 
Couple of observations:
There is no way you will start the season with 2 rookies at hooker. I can feel a backflip coming and bringing in Cook will mean major upheaval.
Brailey could easily average low 40s or worse.
Good Luck.

Fresh from a triumphant 2019 season, SuperCoach overall champion Dez Creek picks his initial side as he aims to become the first player to defend his title.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FULLBACK</h2>



TOM TRBOJEVIC || $714,800 || FLB



He’s priced exactly where he should be. You
could tell he played last year with niggling injuries yet still managed to
average exceptionally. He’s a serious captaincy choice for any Brookvale
fixtures.



RYAN PAPENHUYZEN || $508,200 || FLB



At $500k he’s basically basement price
for the fullback elites. He constantly harasses the ruck from quick play-the-balls
with his pace, which should translate to some big SuperCoach output again in
2020, similar to last season.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CENTRE/WING</h2>



JAMAYNE ISAAKO || $420,000 || CTW-FLB



He’s now playing fullback and goal-kicking,
therefore should be everyone’s first picked CTW.



ADAM DOUEIHI || $343,100 || CTW-FLB



It’s a similar story to Isaako, with the
former Rabbitoh turned Tiger getting a run at fullback and the bonus of goal-kicking
duties to significantly increase his floor.



ZAC LOMAX || $324,600 || CTW-FLB



Young, fast and eager to impress. Paul Mcgregor
has shown faith and so will I.



BRADMAN BEST || $240,700 || CTW-FLB



Best looked to be very SuperCoach
friendly from the little we saw of him last year. I can’t pass him up at that
price.



TRISTAN SAILOR || $247,200 || CTW-FLB or JASON SAAB || $271,100 || CTW



Whoever gets the wing spot at the Dragons
will be in my team. Both look like they’ll be good cash cows if the Dragons can
produce some points.



XAVIER COATES || $203,500 || CTW



I haven’t seen much of him, but from all
accounts he’s a strong young player who can find the tryline



GREG LELEISIUAO&nbsp;|| $171,900 || CTW



I’ve never seen him play &#8211; sometimes you just have to show faith in what you’ve heard. This guy fits the bill from all reports.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">5/8</h2>



SHAUN JOHNSON || $585,500 || HFB-5/8



I had this spot reserved for Anthony Milford, but his injury at the Perth Nines has me concerned. While Shaun Johnson didn&#8217;t exactly star in the tournament, I&#8217;m happy to recruit him for my side to begin the year.



JAROME LUAI&nbsp;|| $257,400 || HFB-5/8



He’s cheap and has a decent running
game, and should make money, simple.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HALFBACK</h2>



NATHAN CLEARY || $631,500 || HFB



I’m opting for Cleary over Moses despite
the Eels’ golden draw. Without Maloney, Cleary should increase his SuperCoach
output around 10-15PPG across the season, which would lead to an outstanding
average.



GEORGE WILLIAMS || $333,800 || HFB-5/8



The UK import should be everyone’s first picked halfback. Williams is cheap and looks the goods based on his Super League stats.



<a id="iaovBZ8mTg5hCOlVQhHDCw" class="gie-single" href="http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/1169720999" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;" rel="noopener noreferrer">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'iaovBZ8mTg5hCOlVQhHDCw',sig:'CmobMHgQ4IILqWY_AbwRUC8kn-m5TdaTusOrAvraVAc=',w:'594px',h:'412px',items:'1169720999',caption: true ,tld:'com.au',is360: false })});</script><script src="//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async=""></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SECOND-ROW</h2>



JASON TAUMALOLO || $723,400 || 2RF



JT is expensive, so I can see why some
people would start without him. I love watching him play and cheering him on
every hit-up, so I’d rather pay the premium and hold him through the season.



JAI ARROW || $575,700 || 2RF



With the injury to Ryan James, Arrow is
well priced at $575k and should average well. I started with him last season
and he didn’t let me down with a big ton early, so I’ll be showing faith again.



DAVID FIFITA || $501,900 || 2RF



Fifita is severely under-priced with a
massive ceiling, I’m expecting big things from him this year. It would be brave
not to have him.



JOE TAPINE || $362,400 || 2RF



With the injury to John Bateman, I’m expecting big minutes for Tapine. Whilst he may not be a keeper, he should make decent money and average fairly well given his game style is very SuperCoach conducive.



<a id="1fiCamGuRod45xiMEDIP2w" class="gie-single" href="http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/1164329744" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;" rel="noopener noreferrer">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'1fiCamGuRod45xiMEDIP2w',sig:'xzbNg9vUAiHZ6aUmMy_XyyAGXstjxUpaHxxG5amgZfI=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1164329744',caption: true ,tld:'com.au',is360: false })});</script><script src="//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async=""></script>



JAYDN SU’A || $303,600 || 2RF



I can’t pass him up at $300k. He should
get more minutes and produce a bigger workload than last year.



BILLY MAGOULIAS || $221,700 || 2RF



At $220k, he’s value for money. Anyone who watched him in the short bursts he played last year would see the talent is there. The big issue is minutes, but sometimes you have to roll the dice.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">FRONT-ROW</h2>



PAYNE HAAS&nbsp;|| $728,200 || FRF



&nbsp;He’s
a lock in captain every week. Worth every penny.



COREY HORSBURGH || $375,700 || FRF



We saw that he’s a powerful presence on the field last season, throw in a few attacking stats and he’s due for some big price rises in a position with not many money making options emerging thus far.



ZANE MUSGROVE || $201,000 || FRF or Zane Tetevano || $310,700 || FRF-2RF



To free up cash elsewhere, I&#8217;ve downgraded Marty Taupau from my initial team to either Musgrove or Tetevano pending the make-up of Round 1 teams.



STEFAN UTOIKAMANU || $171,900 || FRF



Another rookie with massive wraps, let’s hope he gets a start early in the season.



<a id="0pmuV9mdR4Zr9o78pRTq3A" class="gie-single" href="http://www.gettyimages.com.au/detail/1139237757" target="_blank" style="color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;" rel="noopener noreferrer">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'0pmuV9mdR4Zr9o78pRTq3A',sig:'9K5kS7SdJMebA-4feF6DUoyJSdAxnncmqA__zY62pmQ=',w:'594px',h:'500px',items:'1139237757',caption: true ,tld:'com.au',is360: false })});</script><script src="//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8" async=""></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">HOOKER</h2>



API KOROISAU || $338,800 || HOK



With the Harry Grant-Paul Momirovski player swap looking less and less likely, I&#8217;ve switched Api Koroisau into my side.



The former Manly hooker looked sharp at the Perth Nines, so hopefully he impresses enough to earn big minutes at his new club.



BLAYKE BRAILEY&nbsp;|| $201,000 || HOK



I’m
not the biggest fan of Brailey, he shouldn’t average less than 45 though. Let
him make $200k then upgrade ASAP.
