Is this the one?! Rate for rate

Could perhaps be version 342.. Still can't decide on 3 or 4 mid prems!
Previous team had

Hanley --> Hargrave
Pendlebury --> Murphy
Stevens --> Redden
Goodes --> Brown

Has it improved or not?

Cheers for feedback!

Not sold on redden or birchall.
And maybe brown- rookie and upgrade danger to a premium

I like It. Though I am not sold on Brown or Birchall. IMO, the only way for Redden is up. Like the choices of Hargrave, Sidey and Dangerfield. Wonderful rucks and a sound defence. Keep an eye on Grimes though.

9/10, very good team.

Cheers boys.

Not sure why the worry with Birchall - I reckon he'll be very solid this year, and should go close to 100ppg.

About 80% of people agreed in this thread:

My main concern is Hargrave tbh!

JamSainter · February 19, 2012, 11:28:28 PM

Birchall is more of a personal thing, so take no notice about what I say about him, I reckon at Hargraves price, it won't be too bad of a pick.

MC · February 20, 2012, 06:25:46 PM

Cheers for that mate. Considering Murphy to Thomas as a point of difference - He certainly won't be going backwards, and could take some points from Swanny this year imo. Convince me otherwise?

Backs - Birchalls a solod pick (I just couldnt fit him into mine), not sure about having Grimes and Hargrave...ditch Grimes

Mids - like the uniques in Redden and Thompson, although you'd be silly to downgrade Murphy to Thomas as the blues will win a lot of games this year and Murphy is a genuine star, i'd look at switching one of your uniques to him. Plus not having one of the 3 big pies mids in there might be suicidal.

Rucks - very strong rucks, to gain cash you could possibly downgrade one to either Kreuzer, Smith or McIntosh

Forwards - like your forwards alot, good prems, Sidebottom and Dangerfield have a lot of upside, and Brown will be too good for his price.

Solid team, although there is always room for improvement

8/10

Also, can you please rate my team (should be a few posts down)

Backs: Got a backup plan for grimes? lol i have him too atm but he is risky.. keep an eye on hargrave too. i like the upside to him but!
Mids: Solid. had thompson for a bit and think he will kill it..
Rucks: Just my opinion but i think the rucks are open this year so it might be better to drop down to a Hmac or Kruze and see how they go with a premium. i think with a giles/hmac combo for your second/third ruck will work well and give you money elsewhere to splurge!
Forwards: not sold on brown, crozier and danger.. i would consider upgrading danger or brown to a true premium. like the guys you have - franklin, dusty, sidey will smash it!

all in all 8/10 few little things to fix up

rate back.. http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,48737.0.html

Thanks guys - I'll have a look at yours now.

Grimes is a risk i'm willing to take, given his major upside if he can stay fit. Even if he only lasts 10-12 games (easy), he'll still be at 450k+ by that time, giving me plenty of sideways options/upgrades.

Cheers for the advice!
