Ok will not comment on byes. You can read my different bye strategy in other posts.

Def: Very Strong with Shaw at D4.
Mids: Again strong Not a fan of the 3/3 structure either but can not fault your prems. Need to ensure that right rooks who will rise quickly are picked.
Rucks: OK - Enough threads on H Mac for you to make the decision and risk.
Forwards Very Solid - One of the few teams I have seen with Martin at F5 which is sound given his tough draw for the opening rounds of the season.  IMO will only average 90/95 for these rounds but rising to 100+ overall for season.

Overall 9/10

I think people are getting too carried away with the byes.

I picked 2 teams last year.

One team I analysed the byes way too much.  the team did OK, I fiinished somewhere in the top 5000.

The other team was picked on the last day before lockout and I paid no attention whatsover to the byes.  The team finished 181 overall after being as high as 7th throughout the year.

I like the idea of picking the best team possible.  The bye is 3 rounds over a 24 round season.  Everyone has to deal with it, so everyone will be in the same boat.

Very Good team Cortez.  The only potential issue I see is having only 3 premium mids, but you have good mid rookies and a no doubt a plan to upgrade the midfield first, and the other lines are solid as a result of the cash saved.

Think you have smashed it Cortez, Great team.
Is Sam Gibson still on the rookie list or has he been elevated ?
Lachie Neale played well Sunday night, could be a good choice.
H Mac ????????. I have had him in my team but ended up with going 1 prem, 3 rookies. Giles avereged 115 supercoach
points last year, Big O averaged 98,  If 1 of them can average 90 points this year the extra $250,000 from H Mac can get an extra prem mid,
Like the Fyfe pick, nothing wrong with his shouder the way he played the other night.

Gibson is still on tbe rookie list but since harvey is the only vet one on there list they can upgrade one and tipping he will be the one. And with HMac  i have been contiplating a 1 prem 3 rookie structure but hoping hmac can get upto 500k pretty quick and straight swap him for a mummy/sandi. and yes i will be upgrading my mids first. hopefully my backs and fwds can carry me a bit till then. really excited about how my team is looking atm :-)
