Looks like SPP played. I'm wondering how he is he doubtful for round 1? He would have to play and it gives us another rookie

That's good news, not sold on Lynch, have to remember he's played 8 games in 2 years.

Yeah I've brought SPP in, was very solid today, leadership group best 22, he's just SPP but he's just $180,500 = no brainer.

Also in my flex.

Brayshaw to Cerra, Hewett to Flynn, Powell-Pepper to the forwards. Could work, Cerra was excellent for a half, still have 5k to bring in Hewett if he gets up in time.

Such a strong backline. Good team should do very well.

Cheers! Hopefully Allan gets up but if not then might have to find more cash for Prior. If they are both missing then it might be time to consider a floating donut.

Just reading the blogs from West Coast supporters, Allan 50/50, not sold on Prior, would rather spend the money in the midfield on a guy like Langford. Short not top 6 but I think if you view him as a marginal cash generator then he becomes a viable proposition. This would probably be the most stacked defence in Supercoach history but this year I predict most of the troubles will start when defensive rookies start dropping off. Don't want a repeat of last year with Reid stuck on the bench for the whole season doing diddly squat.

Even better, JHF very likely to be a top 6 forward, looking at this team I think 3 lines are almost set and forget, most of the work will need to be done with midfield upgrades but there would appear to be decent cash generation. I also think the incessant byes throughout the year might blunt some of the early impact of a midfield heavy formation. I think I'm almost settled on this approach, Kako's quiet games should be ironed out with the flex, don't think I've ever started this skinny in the midfield but I reckon the midfield is where the money generation will come.

Colliwobblers · March 02, 2025, 05:03:58 PM

The mid rooks are certain to be the best scorers so the strategy is sound. Team doesn't look right without JHF or Rankine as a POD at F1, see a lot with both, but I think the money spent in Defense is better.

There's also plenty of get out of jail cards in the midfield, back-up in Langford, O'Sullivan & Draper if there's a bolter from the first year players.The backline is a different story, nothing certain with the rookies on offer.

Christian Petracca is tempting me, would love to squeeze him in but won't unless there's some decent defensive rookies.

I don't know why there hasn't been more talk around Trac. Really under-priced

LDU is the other one that went nuts after a slow start last year and hasn't been spoken about

There is talk of Brisbane and Geelong being moved, that would change everything

What's the talk? Haven't heard about that one.

Cyclone is due to hit the heart of Brisbane on Thursday. It would be a danger to play the game with the 100 km/h winds and all the rain. Lions have already asked for the game to move, Dillon said they're going ahead at this stage with the hope it dies down and make a last minute call

How would that affect the byes?
