    Looking forward to seeing a few explosive back heavy team lists

    BJ,Croker (Hurrell,Idris)
    Tedesco,Rapana,Hayne (Trbo,RTS)

    Seemed to work well for some last year (including the casuals) but peaked at origin if you left it and didn't strengthen the forwards.

    Helped explain a lot of slow starts out of the blocks for some of us in here who went the Analytical route instead of picking the glamour backs haha

    Think I have got rid of all the trash.

    I just can't help to think that this is going to be the year of the Aubusson, yet I feel discouraged by the hate for him.

    HOK: Smith / King
    FRF: McGuire / Saifiti / Matagi / Kaufusi
    2RF: S.Burgess / E.Taylor / K.Bromwich / Bolton / Arrow / Stimpson
    HLF: Norman / Cronk / Elgey / Hingano
    CTR: S.Mata'uita / Idris / Scott / Olive
    WFB Gutherson / Tuivasa-Scheck / Hayne / Phythian / R.Jennings

    reserves 4 of these 5 (King / Bolton / Arrow / Matagi / Elgey)

    seems like a good start



    Think I have gotten rid of all the stoopid picks. Any holes?

    Don't like Kind mate, too much unknowns
    great front row with some decent depth if Matagi starts
    good 2RF, plenty of depth
    have you got any spare cash to change Cronk into something a bit more Pearce/Cleary/SJ or are you going for POD
    this is my starting CTR pairing currently, I llove the potential
    Hayen/RTS standard i like the Gutho pick

    Wait and see with King. Could be great to have a bottom price hooker. Then can wait for an injury for the next cash cow hooker. Still 6 weeks before the start of the comp. Anything could happen. I actually think Cronk might improve a bit this year with the changes to the halves at Melbourne. I think good value, besides I only have 7k left

    @Feline

    That back 5 looks great, early days but looking like it might be quite popular.

    Sione gives you stable scores being a 2RF and basically set and forget.
    Usually run one of these players minimum every year for the above reason .
    Need someone to come up with a catchy name for him like CLAW for 2017

    Like most suggested. A back-up article about how KBrom will be the main beneficiary of Proctors exit

    Sione = SAT
    Pat = PAT
    Chanel = CAT
    Peter = PRAT

    Or maybe just SMAT, PMAT, CMAT AND PRAT.

    McGuire has been in all my drafts but he averaged 57.5 minutes last year. Will he actually get a lot more at lock?

    Personally I don't think he has the offloading game or TB ability to make use of a position switch to lock, so unless he plays 70/80 can't see a major bump in scores

    Should get 65-70 mins probably. He has a big motor.

    There are the Tom Humbles and the Scott Moore's of this world, and then there is Feeney.

    What about the English bloke who played Hooker for the Cowboys?

    Also was it Sandow or someone Bren talked a few into picking up one year and he ran with 2-3 negative scores in a row.
