Essential SuperCoach Draft Day quick guide

<p>Awesome mate! Glad I can help. I even used this as a quick reference haha good luck with it. Draft is the goods</p>


<p>Thanks Spy &#8211; my first attempt at draft so these tips are invaluable</p>



<ul><li><strong>DRAFT:&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/02/05/draft-positional-breakdown-centre-wing/" target="_blank">Centre/wing positional breakdown</a></strong></li><li><strong>DRAFT:&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/01/21/draft-positional-breakdown-fullbacks/" target="_blank">Fullback positional breakdown</a></strong></li></ul>



<p>Looking at each position it is important to know which ones
may run out of players quickly and which ones have plenty of options. </p>



<p>If there’s depth in a position, this means there is less
need to panic because you can wait and pick up someone useful later in the Draft
if you miss out early.</p>



<p>Let’s take a look at each position and I’ll give you my
opinion on the depth and quality.&nbsp; </p>



<p>The top of the list is the position with the most depth and therefore you can be less panicked about. </p>

<p>The bottom of the list, particularly hooker and five-eighth,
I’m much more inclined to lock someone in early before picking a second-rower
later for example.</p>



<p>This is because you don’t want to end up having to start
someone who isn’t even starting in real NRL or simply getting stuck with a dud.</p>



<p>Keep in mind that each league has different settings, including
number of players in each position, so this will be important. </p>



<p><strong>Example –</strong> Some leagues have two centres in a starting
team whilst others have four. </p>



<p>In a four centre league you don’t want to wait too long to
at least lock in the first guy, otherwise you will end up with four lower end
guys. </p>



<p>In a two centre league, however, you may be able to plug in two
solid centres down the line if you want to stack elsewhere first. </p>



<p>This isn’t to say don’t pick a gun centre higher up the Draft board if you like them, but just an example of options available to you (Follow the hyperlink for <a href="http://13.210.220.211/category/pre-season/draft-breakdown/">full position player analysis</a>).</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>POSITIONAL DEPTH RANKINGS</strong></h2>



<ol><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/03/04/draft-positional-breakdown-second-row/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Second-row – (opens in a new tab)">Second-row –</a> This is a stacked position with lots of depth. There should be options available as you go further down the Draft board. Further to this, my top 10 is chock full of guns and even blokes not in the top 10 are very good. Depth + quality so don’t go too early on them is my advice.</li><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/02/05/draft-positional-breakdown-centre-wing/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Centre/wing –  (opens in a new tab)">Centre/wing – </a>Plenty of options here much like second-row. There’s pretty reasonable depth in terms of quality also. The difference between my second ranked and ninth may be minimal come season’s end.</li><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/02/26/draft-positional-breakdown-front-row/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Front-row – (opens in a new tab)">Front-row –</a> There’s still lots of depth, but perhaps slightly less then the above two positions. Anyone in my top 8 I really like and there is class even deeper than this.</li><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/01/21/draft-positional-breakdown-fullbacks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Fullback –  (opens in a new tab)">Fullback – </a>There are a deceptive amount of fullback options in the comp. The biggest difference is that the top tier guys down to say RTS/Valentine Holmes (Top 7 in my ranks) have much more chance at averaging 70+. After this, there is a large drop off to a bunch of guys who should get you 50-60 which is absolutely fine, but depends on your strategy. Do you want a stud at the back or a solid contributor? </li><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/01/21/draft-positional-breakdown-halfbacks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Halfback –  (opens in a new tab)">Halfback – </a>Still okay depth wise, but the calibre of player drops or comes with more risk once you get past the top 8 or so options.</li><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/02/13/draft-positional-breakdown-five-eighths/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Five-eighth –  (opens in a new tab)">Five-eighth – </a>A very risky position outside of the big guns (top 2) as I’ll consider SJ risky with his injury history. Locking in one of Cam Munster or Cody Walker looks smart to me, especially if you can pair them with say Cameron Smith.</li><li><a href="http://13.210.220.211/2020/02/20/draft-positional-breakdown-hooker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Hooker – (opens in a new tab)">Hooker –</a> Similar to five-eight, there are only two stand outs, plus Cam McInnes who is very solid. The middle tier is okay, but the depth outside of the top 7 or 8 is concerning! Look to get on one of the better guys in my top 8 if at all possible and I think Cook and Smith could be hugely valuable especially if Smith falls outside of the top 3.</li></ol>



<p>I hope this recap help and it could be worth printing or
having a ready as a reference on Draft day. </p>



<p>Good luck troops!!</p>
