2022 Supercoach Forum League: Season Complete. Thank You. Join us here again for SC 2023

[Irish Saint]

No trades left  but with Moses and Tapine returning this week it feels like I just made two.

 

[Spotty Herbert]

One trade left. Think it will have to be used this week or it will be too late to be useful.

[Irish Saint]

Garrick is gone for the season

[Spotty Herbert]

Still haven't decided whether to use my last trade or save it. Thankfully, Garrick is not an issue for me, although he might be for the Flat Capper Select who I am playing this week. Looks like he will have to sub him with Douehi - who I would have played in front of Garrick anyway if I owned him. Looks like my coaching year ends this week!

[Graham]

Well Round 23 produced a whole load of magnificent scores following some very one sided and high scoring games. Plenty of our key players racked up big points totals.

As we all generally did well it means that some teams in our H2H Premiership and Minor Premiership comps lost out even though they had terrific scores because their opponent had an even better score. 
Congratulations to this week’s winners, commiserations if you were knocked out.

Let’s have a look at the facts and figures after that rather unusual round.

HEAD2HEAD PREMIERSHIP 2022

Congratulations then to Graham and Oliver this season’s two H2H finalists.

 

[Graham]

Here then is how the Minor Premiership battle has worked out.

Well done Kurtis and James who have made the final.

Hard luck the semi final losers in both comps above.

[Graham]

*That round saw the most Supercoach points scored in the competition in one round since 1998.
With Very high points totals all round I don’t suppose our Total Points ladder will have seen many positional changes. All the same our scores will have given a boost our averages.

TOTAL POINTS AFTER NRL ROUND 23

With just two rounds left to play there’s still plenty to play for. 
Looking to the top what a great season it’s turning out to be for Marge, Luke, James and Kurtis in particular as they battle it out for the title.

Well done Marge to be 880th out of the many thousands who play this game worldwide.

So as a reminder, which I’m sure you don’t need, there’s just two more rounds to play in this season’s competition.

Good luck.

Well that is me out of the play offs good luck to those who are left. Should still finish hopefully in the top 10. 

Anyhow have taken the squad to Mallorca for a fortnight and so far no Monday madness however the day is still young.

[Spotty Herbert]

With only one trade left, can anyone give me a clue how I beat a team that has outscored mine for each of the last 3 weeks?

[Graham]

Well that’s the last of the Finals for 2022.

Our Premiership final was between Oliver and Graham. It was Graham and his SNAFU team who came out on top after an exciting finals series. Hard luck Oliver.

Here’s all the details:

Here’s how the Minor Premiership finished and what a close call it was in the final!

Only two points separated our two finalists with James just losing out by a slender margin to Kurtis and his Rona team.

Well done to everyone who made the finals and congratulations to our winners.

I hope Graham and everyone  else will be here again to fight it out on this forum for TotalRLSCLeague23.

This weekend sees the final round of our Points Competition, talking of which let’s see how the league table stands after Round 24…

[Graham]

Total Points After Round 24 2022

Marge, Luke and James are battling out at the top of this full season long comp.

There are close calls right up and down the ladder. This weekend’s R25 fixtures will be the last of this season’s Supercoach.

We hope to see everyone here on this forum for Season23.

Cheers, 
Graham

[Railway End]

Congrats to Oliver & Kurtis on their wins.

 

Congrats to Marge as well, who barring a big collapse in round 25 looks to have the overall standings rapped up as well.

 

Thanks Graham as always for the time you take pulling all this together... much appreciated.  I'll be back in 2023, hopefully being more careful with trades, but I say that every year.

[Spotty Herbert]

I got lucky with the NRL draw, meaning players who had underperformed in recent weeks like May ans Mulitalo had good scores this week. Plus, I saw that Damien Cook had covid just in time to sub him out, whereas Oliver was unable to and had to take an auto emergency.

Commiserations to Oliver and I would echo the thanks to Graham for all the work he does to make the competition so enjoyable. And obsessive!!

[Irish Saint]

Congratulations  to Spoty Herbert on his win, as someone who made comments after virtually every round on the thread you are undoubtedly a worthy winner.

Congratulations to Rona as well on winning the minor premiership and who is flying up the league table.

Thanks also to Graham for all the work he does posting results and standings every week.

Some fun next year with an odd number of teams.

That's going to make trades even harder to plan, because you could be without one / two / three of your stars in any particular week. Depth of squad will be critical.

Panthers are resting a boat load of players for R25

Thank goodness they changed the timing of the finals series and GF to mitigate this sort of impact.

Thanks to yourselves Spotty Herbert, Irish Saint for regular contributions on this thread. Thanks too to others who have contributed during this season. I try to make the thread conversational. It would be difficult to sustain this approach without anyone else joining in.

[Graham]

This then is the last weekly league table for the 2022 NRL Supercoach season.

Thank you everyone who took part. This has been one of the most competitive seasons yet.

I’ve been running this fantasy league competition now for at least 17 seasons. The first couple used the NRL’s own Fantasy League format. After switching to Supercoach we never went back.

Looking back through this 7 page thread (so far) you can see how the season unfolded. A big thank you goes to everyone who contributed to the thread. It does help.

Enjoy the Supercoach off season.

Our forum match tipping competition continues during the NRL finals serious up to and including the Grand Final. Everyone is welcome to join in this last hurrah of the season.

Here then is the final points total ladder of this season:

TOTAL POINTS FINAL POSITIONS SEASON 2022

Well done everyone.

Congratulations Marge and you team Fat Chickens for not only winning but for doing so with a flourish. That 1,284 total for R25 was the highest for the week of all of us.

Finishing 513th overall is a terrific achievement out of the many, many thousands of people worldwide who take part.

Luke and James (2nd and 3rd) are also mentioned in dispatches having also had a great season. I know there are others who’ve been with us over a fair number of seasons.

Thanks for sticking with it.

Needless to say there will be a TotalRLSCLeague23

Everyone is invited to join in again. Your efforts and company on here are very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Looking forward to next year already. Not sure how to fill my time, now! Once again, massive thanks to Graham for his efforts to pull all this together and help make it such an obsession.

[Graham]

I feel that although I didn’t have a bad season, I had a team of good and great players who didn’t produce the goods consistently enough! Sound familiar?

That last week I had no halfback as both of mine DNP. A couple of others made an appearance but were soon rested. Even so I was in the top 25% so it must have been even tougher for some others. Any more sob stories?

Graham,

Thanks for organising and updating every week.

Apologies I didn't contribute during the year. Like everyone, busy just setting up the team.

Will try and contribute more to the chat next year.

We all do what we can. We realise that people lead busy lives. It’s great to see so many stick with it through thick and thin. Thanks for being a part of this great group of people.

All the best,
