G'day folks!!!

Basically im torn between two decisions....

My mids are: pendles, GABlett, Scotty Thompson, Lenny Hayes, Shiel, Koby Stevens (Mitchell & $401,300) i know it is one short...

My current rucks is the coxberger combo (cox and leuenberger Rowe & Stephenson).

I could down grade Berger to Giles which gives me plenty of money to get SWANNY as my final Mid. OR I could keep the Coxberger combo meal, and get a mid less than $401,300.....but the problem is WHO should i get...nobody really interests me :/

Please state your opinion so I can develop my own feelings...

Don't really know how to solve your problem, but a good starting point would be getting rid of Lenny Hayes:  32 years old and coming off his second ACL, no way.

My opinion is that your fwds and backs are too expensive. You can afford to not have Swan (although you'll be gnashing your teeth every week you don't have him).

As a side note, drop Hayes for Barlow, purely for youth and fitness factor. Also Barlow has had games since his injury, and has improved during the course of 2011, whereas we don't know how good (or bad) Hayes could be after his injury...

In my opinion you haven't spent enough on your forwards and backs. Let me put it this way. If you want 5 keepers in the midfield go for it but in order to do that you probably need to take a bit more out of your forwards, rucks and backs so your mids aren't a bit half-hearted with Hayes and someone else who is >400k. Other option is to do what most people are doing (but no necessarily the CORRECT thing to do) and have just the 4 premiums in midfield. So for this either keep Hayes or upgrade to Barlow and use your 400k upgrading forwards and backs.
