Yeah im quite happy with my changes Pops, was mainly worried about Devon Smith i would have been devastated if he became pure mid only, being a pure forward doesn't bother me at all as obviously you would play him in the forward line anyway which was why i drafted him. Might have been handy if i had a mid out and replaced them with him as i have plenty of forward cover but yeah i cant complain.

Regarding your team Pops you would be happy that Hodge, Bennell and Lumumba retained DPP and very happy with Goddard gaining DPP it gives you some nice book ends in your forward and back lines.

I giggled like a little school girl when Goddard got dpp status. I got him pretty cheap in the Recycled draft at the start of the 3rd round, obviously if people knew he was a forward he probably should've been snapped up a lot earlier.

Yep if i knew he was going to be a forward i probably would have picked him up in second round if he wasn't picked before me.

Next season there will be a cap on trading we will have a maximum of 20 player movements per team over 2 trade periods. Player movements include trading draft picks. This is a little more than other comps as we have bigger squads and we may need extra movements when it comes to teams re-building etc.

The trade periods will be, Trade period 1 starting a month before the Nat and rookie drafts , Trade period 2 would be after the positional changes are announced.

If you use too many in trade period one it will be badluck if your team is effected by positional changes. Teams must use their movements wisely.

Yep like it
A little more than a couple of other comps but easy enough to manage and enough to help with a rebuild

Fairo. The extra movements are off-set by the fact that picks count as movements.

Happy enough though.

So I can only trade for 20 Nat picks :P

Makes you be a bit more wiser with your trades, and 20 list changes is still a fair few so sounds good to me :)

Couple of people like a trade or 2 around here

It has been a very good year for trading. All good things must come to an end ;D

I'm happy with it, I haven't traded much this season compared to last so doesn't affect me. The only way you gain something in trades is by picking up a speculative youngster, most trades are pretty even and don't gain you anything.

So since subs are staying can we discuss the possibility of a sub rule?

Not a fan of the Sub rule but if coaches want it ? Does it benefit the teams with stronger depth. What happens if you struggle to field decent interchange/sub then your going to be further behind the rest because you wont be replacing your lowest score with a good score and the strong teams will. Haven't spoken to GB about it yet. Do you still get your lowest score if your sub score is lower ?

How did this rule go in the other xv comps ? did it seem fair or did the strong teams get stronger ?

Im open to the idea I just don't want it to effect teams.
