I think Martin and Sidebottom would be best suited in your forward line. They will probably average hopefully around 85-100 point mark. You will be wanting at least 105+ average players in your mids. I like the inclusion of Robbie Gray in your forward line, he could be a nice unique.

I think your rucks could be a little weak as well. I have also got Mcintosh in my side, but with Mumford. Will have to wait and see if Giles and the other rooks can perform to justify using them.

I like your back line, there is risk there with Grimes, but I think majority of people this year will have him and pray he doesn't get injured! If he doesn't, he will be a bargain!

Hope i've helped somewhat. I'm sure some more experianced guys can help out more! All the best for 2012!

robbie gray dissapoints every year, i reckon drop him he does really good in patches but he is too inconsistent, rohan gets a lot of hate on this site but i dont mind him... i dont think conca and heppel are good choices
your rucks are too weak Giles should be your first sub
i also think coniglio is too expensive to be a sub

Love the Savage selection - has the potential to become a great 6th mid late in the season.

Agree about R. Gray, too inconsistent. If you want consistency for a forward in and around that high $300 figure, look at Adam Schneider's stats over the past couple of seasons, in particular the 2nd half of 2011.

Giles should not be a starter - much better value downgrading one of your mids to a rook and upgrading to at least 1 Ruck premium.

A little different from the norm though, and for that reason I like it.
