Hurrel a worry mate would love to see him starting, Lafai another decent option potential to shove CLaw in the ctrs, shave some cash on off copley with an NPR and use the cash to turn hurrell into a 2RF with some potential if not named

I'd downgrade some of your npr's and use the money to buy a genuine 4th reserve. I said it earlier but I think Auva'a is a real option as a starting centre, if you play him and get a cheapie for Copley it gives a chunk of cash. I'm assuming Pauli is Pauli x2? Between him and Copley you have enough cash to upgrade CLaw to a real mid ranger.

Ok maybe:

CLaw Auva'a NPR NPR
Gordon Slater Feeney Gutherson Eden

This was actually one I've been playing around with but still can't figure out who i want for that 4th reserve and I'm worried I might not be able to fill the NPR's with someone who is actually playing?

That seems like a team with plenty of cash in the bank? I really like the idea of playing Feeney and Gutherson but couple that with Packer and Turner and your asking for trouble.

That team looks so solid, Welshys score will be interesting. Finding people who are playing is something that will still change 10 times between now and rd 1. Look at the Roosters team in the last month...
Edit: having npr's all playing in rd 1 isn't always the best either. Look at last year with bird and Coote or Lee and Nabuli

Ok, gone cheap in the back but I really like the look of my team.

I can live with that

I pushed Aubbs into my team earlier so what do I know.

His name hasn't made it into one of my teams, I'm sticking strong.

HAHA

I hate him and what he does!

problem is I do not rate CLaw massively and having 2 CTRs as rookies and 1 in the backline scares me.

Aubbs at least shores up the CTR spot and allows me to rotate the cheapies around based on matchups, something again i don't like doing!











SEE what he does, solid reasoning but i know 100% he is going to fuck me! Yet still he rears his ugly head!

After fucking about with Aubbs i got this

762 - 873. Middling out to 818

big, big problem with that team is lack of depth behind those scorers

Aubbs - Lawrence/Lafai/Hurell/Guth lets me have better depth behind reserves and not having to play Taylor, but Iam not abject to stating him, plenty of point scoring opportunity for a rookie half

Get your abacus around this team Welshy !!

Depth is overrated. This is a really strong looking team, the only problem is a few team list questions for it. Although I am on the fence about starting Feeney.

I like your 2nd team random...

I think youll get more consistency from having your guns up front rather than guns in the back.
