wasn't gonna make a thread but bugger it. this is my team atm but no doubt it'll change once teams are announced.

pretty standard structure I think

pretty sure I'm gonna go in with that ruck structure. kinda reminds me when GC and GWS came in where you could afford 1 premo and the rest of em making some cash

Looks like a great team mate! Great structure..

The only worry is Grimley, his output may let you down. Only 34 from 87% TOG in the Dons first nab game.

Other then that i love everything else!

[Bill Manspeaker]

thanks mate! yeah he is a bit of a worry but hoping at least one of the 3 cheap rucks score alright and will field whoever is.

Kerridge and Bird are the newest guys to my team, originally had B.Crouch and C.Ellis but liked the look Kerridge so I had to get him in. like I said though this will no doubt change before round one

Don't mind the ruck structure idea, I was considering Leuey R2 and Micheal R3 with Grimley F6 but Leuey scares the crap out of me .. need some big nads to go with Grimley at R2 but could pay off.

Steering clear of Leuey and Mummy and going 2nd stringers in Michael/Lobb seems a better idea this year, then there's potential for R3 R4 in Cox, Simpson, Frost, Holmes, O'Brien, Phillips, Gorringe, Jamar or Currie could all fit the bill. Grimely playing as a forward in a weakened Bombers team doesn't appeal.

That would take some extremely large nads   8)

Was thinking Goldy and maybe Sinclair, might spend big on Goldy and Martin though see what happens, lets take over this thread   ;D

go nuts mate, might make my decision a bit easier! I've changed Grimley to Lobb, then switched Kerridge and Bird and traded Bird to Parish

so in case that doesn't make sense, Parish is now M6, Kerridge F4 and Lobb R2

...for now... ;D

Rookies are Rookies I guess, doesn't really matter where you play them ? if Mummy misses early games Lobb could be quite handy, and the same with Michael if Leuey misses early. Not sure if Jamar will take the main ruck role ? let's see what happens.

I thought Aish was a little underwhelming today BM. Keep an eye on him not being best 22 early.  :'(

that's bad news :( thought he'd just be a lock. c'mon Aishy

Yeah considering he has a high score of 143 I think at Brissy. Probably a bit more competition at the pies but if he does start he'll only get better. I like him but I've got him in a XVIII team so I'm a bit biased towards him.

The final rookie upgrades may play a bit of a role in R3 R4.
Couple of other things that caught my eye: Bartel surely isn't going to play 22 hope he doesn't sit out when you can afford it least, in our final series. Jed Anderson may be in the same basket as Aish and might not be in the Roos best 22 in round 1. And I assume Kolojashnij is Kade not Jake (although he did show a bit of potential vs the Bombers).
I like the structure of guns n rooks, very few mid-prices in there. :D
