DT First Draft- Please rate!

[jamfrank]

A few I'm still not sure of...please give me your opinions:

back:
goddard, connors, broughton, gilbee, russell, rivers, coad
(toy, dulgan, puopolo)

mid:
boyd, hayes, boak, anthony, hill, d swallow
(mzungu, hibberd, callinan)

ruck:
sandilands, cox
(smith, bailery)

forwards:
sylvia, riewoldt, giansiracusa, pavlich, petrie, krakouer, prestia
(retzlaff, matera, smith)

Cash Left: $200

Any thoughts? Could go with gilbert instead of giansiracusa...not sure about hill nor rivers....they just fit the price.

Cheers

Welcome ...

first feedback/query = why not use m0nty's template (you can cut and paste) from the bottom of your plan team??

team relatively unique, interesting - structure fine = solid.
agree with you on Hill and Rivers - see below.
stick with GIA over Gilbert cos you've already got Roo in your fwd line, will make byes easier to deal with.

Backs: i'm not sold on Connors as your no2, his avg is good but i would want my no2 to have played at least 18-20 games min. Broughton and Gilbee at no3 & 4 ok. not sold on Russell or Rivers, suggest you upgrade or downgrade one of them.

Mids: structure is fine, just not sure about Hill (for DT anyway) - he has flashes of brilliance but consistency is a worry, you may as well go for a solid rookie like Gaff or Heppell

Rucks: no issues

Fwds: strong, no issues

good luck!

you can edit your original post so that you don't have to keep posting new replies in your thread. that way people don't have to scroll thru pages to find your latest team if you're making changes.

for "bottom of your plan team" i'm assuming you used m0nty's fanplanner to draft your team. if you keep scrolling down you'll see m0nty's created an auto-fill for code so you can simply cut and paste your team.

here's one of my plan teams from ages ago (before competition opened ...
