Round 15 NRL Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Did you have Reuben Garrick as captain? The above question seemed to have the biggest bearing on this weekend’s scores. Unfortunately for me, that answer was yes. The second question was is it open yet? Took their sweet time on Monday morning! Captains failing, players getting ruled out, benching and some massive AE problems, it seems the Supercoach roller-coaster goes on! Can’t seem to land 2 good weeks in a row to make some moves but the boat has plenty of others in it with me.
Round 14 NRL Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Well that was a bit of fun now wasn’t it! We heard the pleas from everyone.. Keep an eye on round 14, it is going to be tough! Well it gave us everything! Huge scores, AE problems, players getting benched, Origin stars not backing up, whispers of players being dropped and some cracking footy. What it did do was give a chance for those to really make some ground if you were savvy enough to have the right players.
Round 13 NRL Supercoach Wrap: 8 Things We Learnt
Pack her up people! That will just about nearly do me for Supercoach 2024! All this bye planning, stressing and trades just to field 13 absolute terrible scores. My couple of sneaky PODs did absolutely nothing for me on the weekend, which makes owning them so much harder.
NRL Round 12 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Bye planning. Why bother! Seemingly had everything sorted until the Origin teams dropped. I have gone from having 16 down to 12. I must be on the same wavelength as Maguire and Slater because they have seemed to pick most of the players in my team for Origin spots! Anyway we roll on.. Round 13 is upon us and time will tell whether we have planned well enough. We get 3 trades this weekend (4 with a boost) so should be able to counteract any changes you didn’t see coming.
NRL Round 11 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Happy Rugby League! What a weekend and what a time to be alive! Magic Round did not disappoint from the football played, the vibes around Brisbane and the Supercoach scores. Seeing the jumpers out and about in the Brisbane sun is Nirvana for any Rugby League fan. The only downside was if you were unfortunate enough to bump into the Spy! He claims to have been best on ground, but only I was doing the tough carries late into the night on Sunday.
NRL Round 10 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Have we tried turning it off and back on again? That being the 2024 Supercoach season! I knew playing Turbo when Aurora Borealis was in full flight on the other side of the globe was a bad idea! Never in my years of playing this silly game that consumes my life from March to September have I witnessed the weekend that was! Nathan Cleary going down, Turbo going down, Nicho pulling out late with a calf injury, RTS and more scores in the 30s than a junior cricket game it was awful viewing.
NRL Round 9 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
I am far too invested in men running around a field playing for imaginary Supercoach points that have no bearing on my life! But we love it! Round 9 had it all! We had some monster scores for some favourites with some trade targets also hitting lofty heights. Cheapies like Trai Fuller and David Armstrong emerged but only time will tell whether the move from a gun CTW or FLB to either will pay dividends.
NRL Round 8 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Where are my Supercoach points as promised to me on Friday?! There isn’t a bigger tease around than the “Projected” Supercoach scores. After getting through ANZAC Day bulging at the seams with triple figure scores, I was staring down the barrel of a monster 1400+ score. That unfortunately did not come to fruition, far from it in fact as I was forced to endure another Sharks carve up at the hands of Nicho Hynes. How I have gotten through the last 2 weeks without him is beyond me.
NRL Round 7 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Well, where do we sit after that round? It seemed a round prime for a big score, with some seemingly Supercoach-friendly match ups to play out but like waiting for Cleary to return, it just didn’t eventuate. We got the points as teams ran riot but that didn’t translate into Supercoach points – Until Sunday afternoon at Cronulla.
NRL Round 6 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
The man can’t take a trick! Thankfully, I have a platform where I can air my weekly Supercoach grievances because otherwise I would need a lounge and someone to listen to me! Round 6 was the 4th time this year I have copped a single digit score due to an injury! The Hammer joined Piakura, Luki, and Garrick; and that doesn’t even account for the Tino debacle of Round 3. But! We march on...
NRL Round 5 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
What a wet and wild week we saw in Round 5! Scores were spread as far as the eye could see, and if you avoided most of the damage, I’m sure you saw some green arrows. Spare a thought for those out there who owned James Tedesco, Dominic Young and Reuben Garrick, as the trio combined for a grand total of -10 points. It seems like each week there is a fire that needs to be put out and trades are getting burnt just fixing a hole caused by an injury or suspension.
NRL Round 4 Supercoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Back to the drawing board it seems as Round 4 rolls on past! Another week where scores seemed vastly spread out, Nicho Hynes finally came good, Kalyn Ponga was superb whilst some cheapies really hit their strides and are finally making some cash! Trades are running low for this guy already. Injuries have not helped one little bit – owning Tino for 32 minutes was fun but by lockout today, I could start to see the light.
NRL round 3 Supercoach wrap: 10 things we learnt
Round 3 is in the books and the things have only gotten trickier it seems! Cash is being lost left right and fullback, players are getting injured and if the Cowboys keep winning, Jason Taumalolo might as well retire! We saw some massive scores on Friday night as the Roosters did an absolute number on their cross-town rivals. Souths look like they spent the pre-season practising how to drop the footy.
NRL Round 2 SuperCoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
The Northern Irish musical group D:Ream was probably thinking of NRL Supercoach when they penned the 1993 hit “Things Can Only Ge Better”.. because that’s what I am hoping for! It was another week in the doldrums for us keen observers, with some dud captains, guns failing to fire again, and some week one stars looking more like a dull streetlight.
2024 NRL Round 1 SuperCoach Wrap: 10 Things We Learnt
Control. Alt. Delete. Click “Restart season”. Do you wish to restart season? Click “Yes.” Well, what a start 2024 has been! Vegas feels like it was a different season, it was that long ago. We all left Sin City with an air of confidence heading into the weekend after seeing what the likes of Trbojevic, Latrell and Walsh all were capable of. And thud, we were back to earth on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Yearly wrap: 2023 winners, losers, lessons learnt
Well, ladies and gentlemen, esteemed readers, The Spy… That’s all they wrote for 2023! And didn’t it end with a bang! Some absolute monster scores to round out the year which took some of the pain off every gun being rested for the final week! At lunchtime on Thursday, it would have been a miracle to muster anything over 800 with no trades and no one to turn to, and as the week progressed, it seemed everyone was in the same boat.
Weekly wrap: Round 26 winners, losers, injuries
Well that all but wraps up what the Supercoach season of 2023 that was!! Round 26 we are happy to see you in the rear-view mirror! In the penultimate round of the year, and the Grand Finals for so many head-to-head leagues, we had absolutely everything! Injuries, smashing’s, upsets, low scores, high scores, resting’s… I only missed a Radley sin-bin on my bingo card! How did we all fare?
Weekly wrap: Round 25 winners, losers, injuries
And is that your SuperCoach team or the Playboy Mansion please? Because pre Round 25, we saw many coaches resembling that most famous Bunny-collector of all time, Mr Hugh Hefner, with a collection of Bunnies that would him make him very proud indeed. And yes, for a few rounds there, there was a world-wide shortage of red velvet dressing gowns “smoking jackets”.
Weekly wrap: Round 24 winners, losers, injuries
Oh captain my captain! Everywhere you looked it was all about the captains this week. And we missed the most obvious one… Sam bloody Kerr!! It was touted as the week where the captains would reign supreme and just by picking the right one, could have seen you shoot up the rankings, or more importantly, win that vital head to head final.
Weekly wrap: Round 23 winners, losers, injuries
2021 6th overall Clem Cassidy Nick Moon recaps every game from Round 23, eyeing the Supercoach studs and duds. NRL Subscriber Only Clementine Cassidy NRL SuperCoach, 6th overall, 2021 Nick Moon Self-proclaimed funny guy August 7, 2023 I’m back! …just not in the overall rankings…umm…or the H2H finals either… I’m currently sitting on the floor of my empty house writing this, because moving day.
Weekly wrap: Round 22 winners, losers, injuries
Well it’s fair to say this weekend had everything! RLPA making a statement, McInnes making 84 tackles, updates, downdates, updates downdates, Hynes and Manu barely getting their tape over the logos dirty, and the trio of Grant, Ponga, and Cleary were the headline act! We are well into the business round of the year and how are all our trades looking? Pretty thin considering the form of Hynes, Val Holmes getting suspended, and some dead wood still hanging around taking up space and money.
Weekly wrap: Round 21 winners, losers, injuries
At around half time in the Sharks game, when I had amassed a whopping 987 and Clem was sitting on 1062, she said we should just recap our favourite movie and winter food for the readers this week… So, I went with Interstellar and Pumpkin soup and Clem couldn’t split Step Brothers, The Hangover or Anchorman, and enjoys slow cooked lamb shanks! What should we do next week?
Weekly wrap: Round 20 winners, losers, injuries
Halle-bloody-lujah! The major byes are finally behind us. And while some of us (not me) soared up those rankings, some of us (me) went tumbling, tumbling down.
Weekly wrap: Round 19 winners, losers, injuries
Well, that is bye planning for 2023 done… For the most part! We still have Round 20 to navigate but how did we all fare? I can tell you it feels like we all overthought these bye rounds that’s for sure!! With only the 13 counted, it wasn’t a matter of quantity but quality, and making sure you owned that one player who went nuts for the weekend. Even as we got to Round 19, it didn’t seem like 13 was needed and bringing in a player just to score you a 30 or 40 seemed not to matter.
Weekly wrap: Round 18 winners, losers, injuries
2021 6th overall Clem Cassidy and Nick Moon recap every game from Round 18, eyeing the Supercoach studs and duds. NRL Clementine Cassidy NRL SuperCoach, 6th overall, 2021 Nick Moon Self-proclaimed funny guy July 3, 2023 Monday 3rd July. 12:45am. Nick Moon: “It’s 12.45am and I’m writing my report haha, but mainly watching the cricket…” Monday 3rd July. 1:01am.
Weekly wrap: Round 17 winners, losers, injuries
I’ll be happy to put Round 17 in the bin! All the talk throughout the year was bye planning this and Round 13, 16 and 19 that, but they have turned out to be the least of our worries! It’s these “sleeper” rounds where three teams have a bye, players decide gameday they don’t want to play, and Coaches seem to chop and change last minute.
Weekly wrap: Round 15 winners, losers, injuries
I cannot get a read on this year! Players going down, injuries, court proceedings, Origin, HIAs that are one week and not the next, three bye rounds, three more bye rounds which are as difficult as the first three bye rounds! And that’s before I even get to Clem’s rap on WhatsApp!! I’m lost and it’s not even June! “It was all a Jah-Ream, (Didn’t have him in my team), Jus’ Brown, Nath ‘n’ Cody, Big Fifi D, Cook too it’d seem”.
Weekly wrap: Round 14 winners, losers, injuries
Kingda Ka is often referred to as the scariest rollercoaster in the world. Up, up, up you’ll go, 456 feet in the air, before plunging 418 feet to the ground at speeds of 206km/h in less than 3.5 seconds… …but breaking news! This just in! There’s a new front runner for scariest rollercoaster in the world… SC 2023 Round 14 is often referred to as the scariest rollercoaster in the world.
Weekly wrap: Round 13 winners, losers, injuries
Nick Moon recaps every game from Round 13, eyeing the Supercoach studs and duds. NRL Subscriber Only Nick Moon Self-proclaimed funny guy May 29, 2023 Ahh the bye rounds. Where we plan for weeks (even months for some) all for one lousy weekend. Stressful nights, tossing and turning over trades, reversing... Reversing all to land on Kotoni F*****g Staggs! Yep, I was that guy... But I had my reasons.
Weekly wrap: Round 12 winners, losers, injuries
So. I am officially moving to Sydney. I have just spent 10 glorious days there and as an unofficial Queenslander, I must admit, I am in love with NSW. What an absolute place! I immersed myself in the Northern Beaches the entire time and I am completely sold. Does this now make Manly my second team?
Weekly wrap: Round 11 winners, losers, injuries
Can you smell Origin in the air?! There’s a certain aroma only elite players can smell… Maybe it’s the maroon and blue dye getting mixed in with the polyester for the jerseys? Maybe it’s the Wednesday night footy? Or maybe it’s just new training gear??
Weekly wrap: Round 10 winners, losers, injuries
Magic Round. What a glorious time. 3 days. 8 games. Around one million five thousand and eighty one footy fans descending on Brisbane. Every incarnation of every footy jersey ever created on display. 10,000 lap dances at Honey Bees. 100,689,087 litres of beer consumed. I may have drunk half of that. Glorious times indeed… And how fun is it having so many footy fans in one place at one time! What a party! And meeting so many legendary people.
Weekly wrap: Round 9 winners, losers, injuries
2021 6th overall Clem Cassidy and Nick Moon recap every game from Round 9, eyeing the Supercoach studs and duds. NRL Subscriber Only Clementine Cassidy NRL SuperCoach, 6th overall, 2021 Nick Moon Self-proclaimed funny guy May 1, 2023 What dystopian Supercoach world are we living in!! It was a prawns and spam kinda week, where if you didn’t score 100, you got 20 with nothing in between which made for one of the most frustrating weeks in recent memory.
Weekly wrap: Round 8 winners, losers, injuries
It will forever be known as the greatest comeback since Cher dropped Believe back in 1998. And whatever Wayne said at half time, they should just bottle that up and sell it. Because those Dolphins. Take. A. Bow. Snatching the win over the Titans with 28-26 scoreline, the Dolphins performed a second half comeback for the ages that had everybody screaming at their TVs in pure elation (apart from Titans fans who were screaming in anguish). And gosh I love them.

“You take the blue pill…the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.
Weekly wrap: Round 5 winners, losers, injuries
And how good is rugby league!! And what an absolute round this was! Games sent to Golden Point. Millimetre close finishes. Clutch field goals. A draw! THAT Moale bone rattling hit that shook the stadium. And best of all… The comeback of the absolute century from the Warriors, down 20 – 0, fighting their way to 30 – 30, before Man of the Moment, every Kiwi’s hero – Shaun “Ice in his Veins” Johnson – slotted a penalty goal in the dying minutes to give the round’s heroes the win at 32 – 30. And guys.
Weekly wrap: Round 4 winners, losers, injuries
Nick Moon and 2021 6th overall Clem Cassidy recap every game from Round 4, eyeing the Supercoach studs and duds.
Weekly wrap: Round 3 winners, losers, injuries
Friends. We are living in an alternate reality. A complete simulation. Because our Top 4 teams are currently Broncos, Dolphins, Manly, and Warriors. Titans and Bulldogs are also enjoying a nice taste test in the Promised Land of 8. Meanwhile, our Bottom 5 flailing about at the bottom of the table include the Storm, Cowboys, and Eels. The only consistency in our lives right now is that the Tigers are coming last. A small thing, but something to keep us grounded whilst we adjust to this new world order.
Weekly wrap: Round 2 winners, losers, injuries
Ohh where is the bleeding coming from? My halves? My hooker? My back row reserves, Centre/wings? It’s hard to work out where but it’s not looking good! Can we all agree to just bin the first 2 rounds and start again? Week one wasn’t all that flash, and week two just stunk! How many HIA’s and injuries that put players out for the game did we have?
Court of Appeal clarifies that term in trade recap stating that certificate of quality is final and binding is not qualified by BP GTCs 2007: Septo Trading Inc v Tintrade Limited [2021] EWCA Civ 718
Introduction In Septo Trading Inc v Tintrade Limited ([2021] EWCA Civ 718) the Court of Appeal overturned a High Court decision ([2020] EWHC 1795 (Comm)) that a term in a trade recap which provided that an inspector’s results were “binding on the parties save for fraud or manifest error” was qualified by the BP 2007 General Terms and Conditions for FOB sales (the “BP GTCs 2007”). Our blog post on the High Court’s decision can be found here.
Final and binding or just binding? Term in trade recap stating that a certificate of quality is binding is qualified by the BP GTCs 2007: Septo Trading Inc. v Tintrade Limited [2020] EWHC 1795 (Comm), Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court, Mr Justice T
Background This dispute arose out of a contract for the sale and purchase of fuel oil on FOB Ventspils, Lativa terms between Septo Trading Inc. as Buyer and Tintrade Limited as Seller. The sale contract was evidenced by a trade recap which incorporated the BP general terms & conditions for sales and purchases of Petroleum Products 2007 (the “BP GTCs 2007”) “where not in conflict with the above” (i.e. the recap itself).
