Just a little hand for a pal...

How about B Lake, he is much cheaper ($255,200), and expected to get back to his 2010 average (99.77).
A bit of a risk, but I think worth it.

Took the words out of my mouth Presto, except I don't think Lake is a risk at all. He's money well spent and would also give you a little cash up your sleeve for future upgrades.

elephants any concern on 2nd year blues for heppel?

Only reason I haven't yet locked the kid in.

Not for me. I think while he's been out there have been changes in the speed of the game and the press. Therefore I don't think he'll get anywhere near as slutty numbers as he did in 2010, I don't feel he is worth the risk.

hmmmm burgoyne is a back? why wasnt i aware of this  :P

Thats a smokie option although he is such a quality player he isnt too ball hungry but a good SC proposition if he can get his 2010 form back. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Hey lads.
Who is the best backmen for less than $445,100?

The rest of my backline...
Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, _______, Morris, Ellis, Smedts
(Mohr, Wilkes)

Thoughts, thanks all.

Very similar to my backline Ele..  Goddard, Shaw, Lids, Waters, Morris, M.Clarke, Ellis (Mohr,Wilkes) . I think there are a couple of tasty rooks in the backline like last year EG: Lower and Stanley they were good enough for the whole year just about. I think Shaw will have a solid year after stuffing up last year and having a new coach i think he will be keen to prove his value to the team. Imo Davis leaving the backline can only improve his numbers.

Yeah i reckon with the lack of gun backs and the plethora of rookie backs taking advantage here is okay. My plan is to load up on round 13 rookies and after round 11/12 upgrade then to premiums from round 11 and 12...
