Perfect, no need for any changes


More seriously, bench looks a little weak, it may be worth downgrading one of your starters to try and give yourself a bit better depth.
If you hit all the rookies you'll be OK, but its a bit risky.

And welcome to the site

Thanks Milchy. I was thinking the same thing - will have to look at downgrading Gillett to Stimson or something similar to free up some cash.

On that same line, why is no one considering McInnes as starting hooker (Macca appears to be the go)? From what I can see he was dominant last year and comes in at an affordable price tag.

My first draft

Macca
Tolman tpg
Murray Stimson matterson
Morgan brown
Capewell bird
Teddy turbo Edwards

Radley whitehead nikora Egan

Lomax ahoppa cht Cartwright

going for a few cows and only a couple of keepers to start;
Macca (c)
Twal / TPJ
Arrow / Murray / Gillett
Morgan / Cleary
Lomax / Bird
Mansauce / D Edwards / Teddy

Stimson / Mann / Egan / Salmon

Haas / Brown / Burr / Ravalawa

Only 2K ITB

Can see a few changes to be had around TLT.

Thoughts on my team?

$24K ITB

Mahoney
TPJ / Surgess
Stimson / Arrow / Murray
Morgan / Milford
Bateman / Capewell
Lomax / Tedesco / Drinkwater

Mann / Egan / Hampton / Allan

Haas / Nikora / DBrown / Keighran

--------------------------------------------------

Assumptions: Parra run 4 forwards on the bench meaning 80 mins for Mahoney, Surgess plays 80 on the edge, Murray and Bateman getting 60+ minutes in the middle each, Drinkwater getting the #1 jumper ahead of Hughes, Mann starts at 9 for Newcastle, GI plays at centre and AJ on the wing, and Nikora and Capewell get the two edge spots at the Sharks with Graham injured and Lewis retired.

Cheers lads!

My first team with zero in the bank.

Macca
Taupau, tpj
Jurbo,Murray, lil pap
Arey, cht
Croker, Capewell
Turbo, chk, lomax

Stimson, Cartwright, haas, bird

Brown, Egan, kerighan, hopa.

Haven’t seen many teams with arey. Am I missing something?

Not a bad team, lot's of assumptions though. My main concern is your captaincy choice? It's always good to have a consistent scorer as captain (Smith, Cook, Fifita, Taumalolo for example)

I like this team. Arey must be a POD.
Not sure about Cartwright, but if he gets back to form he would be a good pick
