Correct. FAC is way down the list. Would be better off starting him and letting Hodgson rip in up the middle fresh off the bench.Random wrote:Standard has an Issue wrote:Reaching mate.

Would take Peachey 10 times out of 10.
Honestly it isn't like I don't have a replacement if a half goes down. With Whitehead, Jackson, McCullough, Hodgson, Moylan and Inglis all capable of shuffling around and slotting into that role. Injury is the least concern to my team.

No way, Hodgson unlike Granville has shown he can be explosive throughout the 80 minutes, and his workrate in terms of tackling could be eased off on due to the great defensive team I have. Plus I think McCullough is a great attacking Hooker when he can come on fresh, or after a break.

Because of the ability he has shown when he's in a team that isn't surrounded by part timer plumbers and over paid hacks. He's played 3 Origin games and he's excelled in all of them.

@SI selecting Hayne and Farah as his captains...
How do you hope for any Referee to take your team seriously?

No I doubt that, I am just saying you are underestimating the value of McCullough and his offense capabilities particularly when fresh. (I mean you probably don't understand the concept of an attacking hooker when you are running Farah and have Buhrer as a back up.) All I am saying is Hodgson + McCullough off the bench is better than McCullough + Hodgson off the bench. Hodgson is better to have throughout the game and a fresh McCullough darting from Dummy Half as he likes to do will tear up other forward packs.

I have James Graham and his crooked ref pointing finger to seriously consider leading the team as well

No point in questioning. You've already stated you picked players that you like to watch. I can't argue with that, even if that squad is that lacklustre that it gives me an instant soft on quicker than a dud starfish root

Re: Draft Game 2016 V2
When you do the voting for other teams You HAVE to vote for the best team and not who you like or enjoy watching because that just becomes an excuse to say team a is better than team b because team a has James McManus and he was a good honest guy over team B who has Greg Bird who is a cunt! Have a fair and honest evaluation/devaluation on a teams RL ability not their ability to be a decent human

Re: Draft Game 2016 V2
Are we setting up a thread for voting or just quoting each others teams outta the squad thread?

I agree with this. It's the team that would win the game or be the most successful.
