Forward line is too weak IMO.

Interesting team mate, for the most part, I like it.

Personally not a massive Simpson fan, I just prefer some of the other options. He's still one of the best option available though, so you've got every right to pick him. Not a fan of having Nathan Brown at all. I just don't see the point. I think it's about as useful as starting Zac Dawson. Can't do much with bench rookies atm, wait and see.

The lack of GAJ is interesting. I honestly think you'd need one of him or Rocky. Pendles is next best, so at least you've got him. I think GAJ is a must have, sore shoulder or not, he's just too good not to have. Like the Ward pick, good POD. Rookies again are a wait and see, but I think you've got some good options there.

Goldy is a good pick, not so sold on Sauce though, I reckon there are better options. I'd personally have a look at getting ruck cover, just in case, one of those blokes around 120k would do, could jump on whoever is named.

Similar looking forward line to mine, so I naturally like it. I prefer Lids to Goddard (purely Tiger bias) and I've realised Swanny's too good not to have at his price. Salem's an interesting one, was in and out of my team, currently out though. Potentially look at getting a forward rookie slightly cheaper than Karnezis. Either that or put him on the field for Salem and get somebody cheaper for the cash to upgrade somebody like Nathan Brown.

Most of my changes are purely personal preference but yeah.

What line do you weaken to strengthen forwards? Adding the fact that the best value players seem to be in the forward line, I think anything more than 3 premo fwds is too strong.

Gotta have Gaz btw, apart from him missing, team looks good. And also the Barlow thing :P

Cheers for all the feedback!
I really like Salem, think its worth the extra $50k. I think he will have high JS this year and should score well
I do feel a bit uncomfortable picking Jacobs at his price, not sure if he can match last year, but having trouble trusting any other rucks....
Goddard could be bomber bias on my behalf so I take your point onboard about Lids!

DEF: Shaw, Hibberd, Lumumba, Newnes, McIntosh, Saad (Goodes, Oxley)
MID: Fyfe, Selwood, JPK, Ward, NVB, Newton, Brayshaw, Vandenberg (Cripps, Heeney, CEY)
RUCK: Goldstein, Belly (Cox)
FWD: Gray, Dusty, Swan, Deledio, Salem, Hogan (Clark, Lonie)

Cash: $68,100, Trades Left: 28

Got a few headaches this week...
Was pretty set on keeping Deledio as I usually try and trade conservatively, focus is on cash leagues, but now with Gray out I would have to field Lonie and I'm thinking I might need to move Lids on. Also could downgrade Goodes if he is named.

I'm not a big fan of KPP's like Buddy and Roughy, so if I was to trade Deledio it would probably be to Bont. Thoughts on this or any other ideas for me? Thanks guys
