My Backs are
Goddard, Dyson, Malceski, Hanley, Scotland, Gibbs, Burgoyne and Staker
Give Gibbs past 3 weeks should I start him on the field?
What is the best 6?  :-\

Glort

I wish I had your backline  ;D 
It would be between Gibbs and Burgoyne....... I'd play Gibbs..... Maybe  ???

Ricochet

Burgoyne went 122 against the pies earlier in the year. I'd back him in over Gibbs atm

deekay

Heppell, Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Enright, Malceski, Birchall and Colquhoun?

Which two would you start: Heath shaw or Bruce Gibbs or the cannon? Thinking of benching Gibbs.

I would bench shaw. Hawks usually tag shaw and i think gibbs should finally be pushed through the midfield again with judd out. Who u would u bench scotland or gibbs? My opponent has only 4 uniques and i am projected to win by 90 points..so i was thinking of playing it safe and cancelling out gibbs who i think might score well

That would be the safe play, but 90 points can be wiped out if you have a couple of premos under perform or dare I say it, a late withdrawal. I don't think you can ignore Scotland's form of late - he's hit his straps and I'd be backing him in.

go with the gut then! you'll be kicking yourself if he scores more than scotland, a lot harder than the other way round.

Think Gibbs will cause a lot of headaches this week.

Current back line is Goddard Heppell Hanley Gibbs Malceski Ellis Grimes Wilson. not sure who sits on the bench with Wilson this week.

I'd leave it the way you've got it with Grimes and Wilson on the pine

Haha yes he did. But Bryce's role has severely changed since then
