EXV: Proposed Best XVs and Predictions

[Holz]

If DPP goes our way svalbard could be competitive- I'm feeling a break out season :P

that would be your forth straight breakout season right?

[Hellopplz]

Really need Hanley to keep back status :P.

If McVeigh somehow manages to keep back status for Iceland and Dunks/Harley get Forward status, Iceland looking very lethal 8).

[Ziplock]

Very, very dependent.

Honestly though, Hanley as pure mid wouldn't necessarily end our season :P

Your boys should get their DPP though.

If I keep saying it eventually it'll happen.

Backs: M.Hibberd 89, K.Simpson 92, H.Shaw 81 , N.Malceski 92
Mids:   S.Pendlebury 108, B.Goddard 97, B.Deledio 97 ,M.Barlow 222
Ruck: A.Sandilands 87
Forwards: T.Cloke 73, M.Lecras 89, B.Harvey 100, D.Martin 98
Utilities: R.Douglas 87, M.Boyd 95

looking like still the team to beat. its aging a little but there is solid youth coming through on the bench.

Thanks for doing this Holz.

The only changes to our best 15 has been Sandilands in for Goldstein and Boyd in for Gibbs. While this hurts our average age, We have picked up Viney, Freeman and Polec, who could all be stars in the future, and will probably all be best 15.

Unfortunately Ive lost Lester and Adcock  :'( Meaning I have no Lions players  :'( :P

A win record of 85% is pretty good and I want to maintain that throughout the season.

[Vinny]

Boomer to be mid-only and Hibberd and Goddard to be suspended. :P

[kilbluff1985]

Boomer to be mid-only and Hibberd and Goddard to be suspended. :P

Why would Goddard get suspended?

[Vinny]

Boomer to be mid-only and Hibberd and Goddard to be suspended. :P

Why would Goddard get suspended?

Just for showers and gigs really. :P

[Holz]

Boomer to be mid-only and Hibberd and Goddard to be suspended. :P

Goddard and Lids possible fwd dpp

[Memphistopheles]

Got a couple more trades in the pipeline hopefully to bolster this team but we're looking good I think :P

We should expect a bit of natural improvement from our team with Swan really the only older player in our starting side.


English Lions

Def: Jack Newnes, Jeremy Howe, Curtly Hampton, Ricky Henderson.
Mid: Dayne Beams, Nathan Jones, David Zaharakis, Luke Shuey.
Ruc: Paddy Ryder.
Fwd: Taylor Walker, Jake Carlisle, Tom Mitchell, Joe Daniher.
Uti: Dane Swan, Jack Steven

Eme: Shaun Atley (D), David Armitage (M), Zac Smith (R), Charlie Dixon (F).

Yes Titch might lose fwd but hopefully Swan or Zaka gets it.

[Vinny]

Defence: M.Johnson, A.Walker, S.Fisher, S.Docherty.
Midfield: J.Kennedy, P.Dangerfield, D.Heppell, J.O'Meara.
Ruck: N.Naitanui.
Forwards: J.Bartel, N.Riewoldt, P.Chapman, D.Zorko.
Utilities: J.Macrae, A.Swallow.

Pretty happy with this, bringing in Chappy helped as well. Johannisen on the bench in defence. Miles, Rich, Melksham, Tutt in the midfield. Daisy, Lewy Taylor, Crameri, Vickery up forward. Plus Lycett for NN.

[Atto]

DEF: Corey Enright (82.15), Jasper Pittard (66.05), Luke McPharlin (64.77), Matt Shaw (60.85)
MID: Scott Thompson (96.11(x2)), Leigh Montagna (91.55), Stephen Hill (84.28), Daniel Cross (84)
RUC: Will Minson (83.67)
FWD: Jack Riewoldt (76.59), Marcus Bontempelli (69.19), Travis Varcoe (63.05), Jack Martin (50.36)
UTL: Adam Cooney (78.56), Brad Hill (72.68)

Total: 1219.97

Might be in a little bit of a struggle town it might seem, but short-term pain for long-term gain is the goal here at Sweden.
