Scouting Mission: Having a crack at my 2022, Rd 1 team


<p>Last week I finally resigned myself to the fact that my 2021 NRL Supercoach season was over.&nbsp;</p>



<p>My attention quickly turned to 2022 and I identified some of the players to <a href="http://13.210.220.211/2021/08/05/scouting-mission-getting-an-early-jump-on-supercoach-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">keep a close eye on with a view to their 2022 prospects</a> in Supercoach. </p>



<p>This week I’ve taken the step of picking a team based on current prices that would fit under the current salary cap.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Must-haves&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>I just had to have <strong>Tom Trbojevic, Nathan Cleary, David Fifita, Harry Grant, Tohu Harris</strong> and <strong>Payne Haas</strong> in my team. As you can imagine that ate up a lot of my salary cap.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Set for a big 2022</strong></h2>



<p>With so much money spent on setting up my big 6 above as the foundation of my team I then had a close look at those mid-rangers who I think are genuinely underpriced and are set for a big 2022.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Players like <strong>SJ, AFB, Anthony Milford</strong> and <strong>Zac Lomax</strong> look to fit the bill. Season 2021 has been hampered by injury, suspension or non-selection but season 2022 looks to be on the rise for them.&nbsp;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Future Supercoach Guns</strong></h2>



<p>I’ve seen enough of <strong>Josh Curran</strong> and <strong>Greg Marzhew</strong> to know they have very good Supercoach scoring careers ahead of them. Reece Walsh is another who genuinely fits that bill but how many Warriors can I start 2022 with seriously?&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cheapies&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>Theres four rounds of footy plus finals to be played and then a whole pre-season so projecting 2022 cheapies is like trying to pick Thursday night’s Powerball numbers. However I’ve had a crack largely based on exposed form and some good young players I know are coming through the systems. </p>



<p><strong>Toby Sexton</strong> highlights my ‘exposed form’ cheapies, however it’s highly likely you’ll have to part with something close to $400k to get him to start 2022<strong>. Otukolo, Pene, Frei, Moeroa, Willison, Sloan, Tago, Ben Trbojevic</strong> and <strong>Cobbo</strong> have all played some NRL footy in 2021. <strong>Jack Howarth</strong> is a Central Queensland junior who has been in the Storm system for a while now and will be close to breaking his way into the 17.&nbsp;</p>
