Not sold on the English pick. R2 his been a PITA this year. Probably a bit too pricey down back as well. I'd look at only starting one to two guys over 500k. A lot of value in the 400k region and it looks like there will be some decent rookie options as well.

Def: Laird, Whitfield, Short, Roberton, J Clark, McKay . Bench: Burgess, Hore.

Mids: Cripps, Oliver, Neale, Dusty, Libba, Walsh, Hately, Constable Bench: Bewley , Hind ,Gibbons.

Rucks: Grundy, Goldy, Bench :Fort.

Forwards: Danger, D Smith ,Heeney, T Greene, Rankine, Settlefield. Bench: Balta, Cavarra..

Thanks for feedback Mat.. Goldy is as much as I'll spend on R2.. and at last the balance is looking good b4 JLT2. Love to hear your thoughts..

I definitely prefer the structure. Short is expected to take the kickouts for the Tiges so he could turn into a good POD. I'd like to see what the plan is with Houli since he missed a lot of footy last year and could take a chunk of them.

I like the mids. While I am personally not starting Libba I think the pick makes sense with that structure. I'd evaluate Dusty to see the knock isn't serious, worst case he can become a Sloane/Zorko/Crouch/Merrett type guy.

Goldy appears to be a popular pick, I'm looking elsewhere but he feels like a good place holder for now.

I also like you have 3 premiums and Greene where as a lot of teams I have been seeing the last few days have him at F3 which is insanity. A lot less risk that way if you have to start 3 rookies on field vs 4.

Very similar team to mine so I canâ€™t really fault it.

Smith will be playing more forward this year which could negatively effect his scoring so would swap him to Heeney who is much safer in my opinion.

Apart from that I love the side mate.

Definitely prefer Heeney.
Although Heeney will play forward when they need a target down there, Smith should spend most of the game in the forward line.
Heeney kicks goals when he goes forward, whereas Smith tackles.

Cheers Tommy.. my only concern in last JLT2 Heeney tweaked his ankle and they iced him at end of 3rd quarter, precautionary ofcourse!! will keep an eye on him.

He should be fine, otherwise a hell of a lot of coaches are screwed regarding their F2

Looks like a nice team, don't think Cavarra will play. Greene a risk. Like it though. Good luck
