Well that is wild midfield 7 guns to start I know it's early days but think you need to balance out a bit more on other lines

It'll depend on rookies being available on all lines. If they're short either forward or back, I'll be forced to cut someone like Bont and use the cash to get a 4th premo.

Love it Nige, 7 deep in the mids, no Nicnat risk, and nailed the byes. Bloody well done.

It seems ideal, but the balance of only 3 defs and fwds is a slight risk. Definitely don't think there are any must haves for the latter. Not going near NicNat has two purposes - avoiding the risk and having a POD ruck. As mentioned previously, I'm not too fazed by the byes at present, especially when trades along the way will change the setup, but I guess if I can get them somewhat sorted to begin with, that helps a ton.

The thing I would be worried about is not having Danger we have seen for 2 years at the cats he just keeps pumping out monster scores something I cannot ignore for choice of captain , everyone else are at lower odds to match him ?

Lot of good picks there Nige. Like the WitherGOAT, Crouch, Beams, Billings and McLean picks. Are you concerned about Beams' injury history though?

Also, I love the Jacobs selection in the ruck, considering him myself.

I'm a big fan of Beams, always have been. He's one of the only players with an injury history I can bring myself to consider and pick. I think he's a top 10 mid, arguably even top 5 at his absolute best, which I genuinely believe he can get back to achieving. He's averaged 100+ in 6 of his 9 seasons (3 of which were 110+). He went 108 last year if you take out the injury affected 12 where he didn't play after the opening minute. Plus I also have him as my best mid in of the XVs comps on the forum, including one that uses SC as it's scoring system, so I naturally hope for a good score from him most weeks anyway.

Everyone's talking about the value in NicNat, but I rather be a tad safer (since I'm already picking Gawn like most it seems) and have someone more durable who's gonna score just as well. Even if they cost that bit extra, I'm getting what I pay for. Tiger bias might see Gawn become Nank though. :P

Heard it a few times now, I'm working on it.

Need to change 2k18 to 2018. The K isn't kool. It's stupid and annoying. It saves no time. It serves no purpose whatsoever. Fix it.

Also doesn't Barlow have a broken leg?

Haha righto, I'll do that.

Already back training and looking really good from all reports. I'm willing to back him in to be one of the top forwards in 2018.

Yeah boiiiiiii

Alot to like about this team Nige. If 5 players under 180K line up in round one it will be perfect. Personally I don't thik O'shea is best 22. Marchbank, Weitering, Jones and Plowman are all infront of him and there is no way we will play all 5 of them.

Apart from that it is a great side. 2K18 will be a good year for you ;)
