well you don't have 9 backs and only 2 rucks so maybe look at that. I would change the rucks and go with 2 premiums, also upgrade Hayes to a gun.

need another prem. in the backline imo, 1 less in the forwards and I don't see why you think browny will be injured, he has only been injured last 2 years because of freak accidents.

Went with Fyfe and Grimes as opposed to someone like Sidebottom who is a bit cheaper and Birchall/Deledio/Suckling type player.

I think Fyfe is a must.  I really want my premiums to be in the team of the year and use my rookies and mid price break outs to upgrade the rest.

Actually traded my rookie down to McDonald and Cotchin up to Dal Santo ... gives me a more guaranteed extra mid gun ..

As for Brown ... he is reaching that age, the delivery to him isn't great or often either affecting his score ... the guy is an absolute legend and goes REALLY hard at it - perhaps this contributes to the odd freak injury.  He has also played with minor injuries for years. I guess only time will tell.
