don't know about best team yet, gamble - looking pretty standard, but not having a go at you for that - i reckon it's all in the bit between Rd1-20 (for overall) and then Rd20-24 for leagues ...

Backs - standard, no issues

Mids - strong, not sure on the 2 mid-pricer's this year due to the wealth of rookie talent available but not meaning to have a go at your structure - you've picked it for a reason and that's fine IMO

Rucks - wish i had the b*lls for Cox/Petrie but I don't - hope it works out for you (and not taking the p*ss either)

Fwds - ooh, you're taking a risk here IMO with the bottom 4 - no issues with the individual players, i just think personally i would risk the bottom 3 rather than 4 - but again it's up to you and the structure you pick ... i just think probability-wise, 2 out of those bottom 4 may not pan out as you'd hope but if it's any worse than that you could have 3 or 4 issues to fix up ...

good luck!

FWD line is ballsy... one week could do well, next week could be an absolute flop!!!

thanks for the words of advice, yeah i agree with what youve said actually just not really sure what i should do from here, what are some suggestions of changes you think i should make to improve?

my suggestion would be to downgrade Rockliff (Lions will struggle this year anyway) to bargain basement rook - you've got D Swallow and Harris to fall back on anyway.

hopefully that gives you enough cash to upgrade one of your bottom four fwds into a premo/fallen premo or decent mid-pricer with potential upside/improvement
