Halves & Backs Players Of Interest & Strategy - NRL Supercoach 2025

[@denny9422]

Hey Jamie, is this list relative to Fantasy as well. Or is it a bit different. Thanks

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

It is relevant, though are def differences. CTWs score more in SC due to higher weighting on tries (and other attacking stats) plus you have 3 non playing ZctwS unlike in Fantasy, do you need to carry 3 very cheap non playing CTW's, probably more, whereas in NRLF you would only carry one non playing CTW, or in my last year, I had no reserve centres. Kick meters only apply in Fantasy, so while I am seriously considering Fogarty with no early bye and origin coverage for Fantasy, he is of less value in SC. Gun fullbacks have much more value in SC again due to the inflated scores, compared to Fantasy, and are always the highest scorers each year. Tommy Turbo for example is usually top 5 player every year in SC bit not in Fantasy.

When does the nrl season start??

[@kukiehustler8276]

March 3rd

[@certified_solo_boy3103]

@ appreciate it

[@lachlancamilleri6690]

Garrick at CTW? Bit of a tough call with his repeated concussions but seems massively undervalued (similar to Fantasy)

[@MrCarrera28]

Such a shame he is not dual position anymore.

[@FantasyJamie]

Yeh could be great again, I won’t start with him though

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

The early game HIAs make him great value, plus no origin and goalkicking, and early Brookvale fanes make him attractive.

[@kukiehustler8276]

Yeah I was surprised he wasn't dual anymore which sucks and now I won't pick him at all

[@murraysmith595]

What is the Lowest scoring position in SC? With the Flexi position could you run say 2 cheap 5/8s and a gun FB in the flexi spot. Will backfire if you get a injury though i guess.

[@queenslander7756]

Interesting point though! ✔️

[@MrCarrera28]

Could it be a good option for a more injury prone fullback like Turbo? Have him in flexi and if he delivers a huge performance he will be higher than one of the 17 and if drops out early with an injury he does not impact your team.

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

​@MrCarrera28 could be but can play him in one of your 2 fullback positions and get the sand benefit. Though fkez position allows u to vc him.

[@murraysmith595]

@@BrettGrady-vf4kx I was thinking more playing 3 gun fullbacks. Spending absolute bottom dollar in both 5/8 slots.

[@kukiehustler8276]

I like this strategy you guys are talking about and could be a great move to start the season going in

[@anthonykidd4842]

Wkcome back.Jamie and Scoopman NRL Fantasy / Supercoach in 2025 should be fun. I thik Bradman is the Best. Is he injured? It shall be a long time before I forget some of his antics / exhibitions last year in 2024

[@FantasyJamie]

Incredible last year!!

[@jaydenlewis1489]

I think I’ll be starting with the Garrick x Turbo combo to start the season. Early home games + good draw. They should both start the season on 🔥 hopefully

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Sounds good in theory....though everything I get Garrick he gets a early HIA!!!

[@FantasyJamie]

Fair call!

[@peterfoster841]

My likely at fullbacks at this stage will be ponga and drinky, both crucial in offence and should have goal kicking. Not keen on latrell and teddy as I feel we will have a lot of Roosters and Rabbitohs players. Not keen on Edward’s that much with Clearly likely playing round 1. And finally, cannot jinx myself with my turbo (injury).

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Need 3 of Turbo, Drinky, Ponga, Latrell in my opinion (and Edwards, if Cleary out longer term, with no Panthers early bye this year).

[@peterfoster841]

@ agreed

[@peterminiutti9553]

If Cleary is named for round 1, I'd pick him. 5/8 is much trickier.

[@MrCarrera28]

Set and forget :)

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

Must have for me. I not started with his for 3 years now but he first picked for me now at the price n no early season bye and no Jarone.

[@supergun6130]

Marzhew in the centre is safe

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

First picked for me. Soft draw, no origin, can hold as a solid 4-5th CTW through to origin, n upgrade post origin If he not improved and getting more ball/tries. Can't go wrong at the price though.
