I'm leaning towards James Graham only because at the Dogs Parra game last year in Sydney, I ran down to the fence behind where he was warming down on the bike, yelled out to him and showed him the little figurine of himself and said I needed a photo with himself and the figurine! He yelled out he'd come over after the fulltime handshake. I didn't believe him. Sure enough, at full time he runs over straight towards me, bypassing a heap of fans and my mate ends up getting a video of it which now sits on my instagram. Legend.

I've been thinking about getting Dugan as my Gun in the centres as long as he's down to play as Fullback. It'll be interesting to see how the Dragons line up for round 1... I think they have a fair bit of depth in the forwards and the backs. Curious to see who will play where...

Just type the name of the player you want. Spelling matters though.

Robbie Farrah didn't play a single game last year

I don't quite have the room at the moment. But that will change no doubt. Whilst it's fun making a team in Feb, realistically, until nines, trials and the team lists are produced 2 days prior to round 1, our teams will change dramatically.

I think it's still advantageous making teams and researching now, It cuts out those unwanted surprises that coaches always want to throw at us come tlt.

the annoying thing is you can feel pretty settled on your side but then some news comes to light/a certain player becomes a priority. this then gives you an extra 100k to spend elsewhere and you shuffle another position. 20 mins later you have an entirely different 17

The problem is if you want a balanced 17 that will score well you'll have to forgo some of the guns. Smith, Fifita & Parker are the 3 high end priced guns & you can really only choose 1 realistically & I've gone for Smith. Hunt is probably a pod but the obvious choice at half back is DCE in terms of price & the fact that he'll be the dominant half at Manly. It's much harder this year & I think this is good.

Just the whole first season back from an ACL thing that will mean I won't.

Wasn't Coote first season back from an ACL last year?

He did his acl 4 years ago during the season then did it before the year started the following seasons and again 2 years ago before the season kicked off
