Ruck: T.Goldstein
Fwds: L.Franklin, D.Martin, J.Roughead, J.Gunston
Interchange: D.Mundy, N.Dal Santo

[Vinny]

That is beautiful to look at haha. Lock in the flag!

That is close to the perfect forward line. Probably only missing Gray.

I'm sort of hard.

I certainly don't mind looking at it.

not sure about the lock, with Rocky as a 125 captain I think Mexico could be the front runner. But Im defaintely a decent chance of back to back. Its stronger than it was last year.

just for comparison it was

Backs:  A.Rance, G.Birchall, R.Murphy, L.Hansen
Mids: J.Selwood, T.Rockliff, J.Watson, T.Boak
Ruck: T.Goldstein
Fwds: L.Franklin, R.Gray, C.Dixon, J.Watts
Interchange: D.Mundy, N.Dal Santo

so out Rocky Gray Dixon Watts in  Sloane Martin Roughy Gunston.

I think that's an improvement.

It sure is an improvement.

Roughead and Gunston are way better than Dixon and Watts. Dusty = Gray pretty much while there's not that much difference between Rocky and Sloane and I think that gap closes again this year.

Going to be real hard to stop this season - could easily be Dublin up the number of WXV flags you have next September...

Yeah definitely an improvement. Rocky is a loss but still got plenty of good captain options.

Reply to my T10 PM man. :P

[Nige]

trading didn't go my way

He says even though he turned Rocky, Gray, Dixon and Watts into Sloane, Dusty, Roughy and Gunston.

I fail to see how that's not going one's way.

With the exception of Sloane > Rocky, you could say the others are improvements.

Pretty sure Holz means the HBennell/Libba trade didn't work out man

yeah that's it.

feeling I may lose out on the Rocky for Gunston + Boak deal as im not super confident on gunston and I have faith in my man rocky. but lets see how it goes.

lost basically all my picks but happy with the bench additions of Thompson and scharenberg.

i assume holz would be the first team to go back to back in all xv comps?

never happened in the euro. But hold up lets see if it happens first. As I said I fancy Mexico City next year. They have a deeper squad which based off last year with rocky I think out averages me.

I need my young guys to lift abit from last year but in fantasy anything can happen on the day. Probably 4-5 teams that are capable of winning it next year.

PNL is a good dark horse, I think they should be top 4 and could be a real danger team. Suns and PNL is who I fear next year.

If Christchurch keep Rocky they would be a big threat too.

Bangladesh Bears (Adamant) won the first two AXV flags back to back ;)

[Vinny]

I think Rio are a major threat too. They are the 4th best team IMO after Dublin, Mexico and PNL.

Def: A. Walker, B. Houli, A. Mackie, B. Waters
Mid: G. Ablett, M. Murphy, D. Zaharakis, S. Hill
Ruck: S. Jacobs
Fwd: T. Walker, J. Riewoldt, M. Wright, P. Chapman
Interchange: B. Vince, K. Cornes

Pretty good depth too. Levis has done well.

wow that's pretty impressive, any team with Ablett is a threat but they are decent all round. A lot will depend if that backline can remain fit.
