Think Travaglia the only on field rookie in doubt so may have to address that when teams announced. Think others will play with reasonable bench cover,

[Colliwobblers]

Hopefully Prior? pops up as a viable option if Travaglia isn't. Or someone else puts their hat in the ring.

Very top end premo's and good money invested in rooks for forced changes.

Solid team, looks like bye structure is very good too for the two problem rounds.

[Mat0369]

SDK could be a decent play if he holds the number one ruck role. Especially with Mills now gone

After last night nearly tempted to to that change now.

[Colliwobblers]

Yeah Prior locked in for me, the fact they brought him in means its for a role, and it last nigh was his role I'd say he performed it well enough to hold his spot.

Sam Powell-Pepper!

Crazy to think he hasn't been discussed more, great shout and probably a better bet than Lynch who might be starved of supply.

[arbel]

Yeah Prior could be a bit of a bolter. Was good and considering other options could be given the go.
I'm not sold on Lynch. Isn't playing tonight and key forwards have a knack of being too volatile in scoring. Team is pretty solid though

I had both, but I read SPP is in doubt for round 1 which has him out of my side

[Ringo]

With the carnage continuing here is version 526 b

Not a lot of cash left but can downgrade Langford. Lynch or O"sullivan if need be/  Think rookies on field atm will play.




Bye Structure prems and mid pricers
Rd 2 Whitfield
Rd 3 Daicos. Bailey Smith
Rd 4 Merrett
Rd 12 Sheezel, Xerri. JHF, Daniel
Rd 13 NWM, Serong, Macrae
Rd 14 Short, Daicos
Rd 15 Oliver, Gawn
Rd 16 Whitfield, Merrett, Bailey Smith

Reasonable cover.

Another option I am considering and watching O'Connel tomorrow if I can be certain of 3 defensive rookies starting and 2 on bench may Look at TDK as Flex with the 3 ruck structure. Bye structure then becomes a little problematic.

[Colliwobblers]

Bye structure excellent add in TDK and still be better than most. Really good team Ringo.

Coupls/few swan put their hands up for me tonight and made selection.

[Ringo]

Opinions on this team with TDK at Flex and assuming 3 rookies definite playing. Compared to one above.

Rd 12 bye now will have 6 with Rozee and TDK added

[Bully]

I love the idea of a 3 ruck strategy but you look quite exposed in defence, the other lines look fine. I've tried it multiple times but then I realised I could get into a pickle if a rookie or two goes down early. At that point you are looking at a complete restructure. 

[Ringo]

With the showing by Flynn against Xeri he is back to Flex

Short now D4 and tossing up between Rozee and Merrett for M3

Watching O'Connell today as Bo Allen very underwhelming yesterday joining Angove as well. Love of what appeared as certain rookie now doubtful.

[Colliwobblers]

Flynn definitely looks like he's got the gig even though he wasn't great still scored 98 I think. Think that's a must do move.

Defender rooks are going to kill us, tempting to take finlayson who will get DEF at first position changes, or evans.

If Prior isn't best 22 may need to do something back there.

[Bully]

Flynn in the flex is a decent move, low risk and probably the best bet for the 3 ruck strategy. I might see if I can squeeze him in.
