Part 2 is looking at the defending six:
FB: Back Pocket | Full Back | Back Pocket
HB: Half Back Flank | Centre Half Back | Half Back Flank

Please vote for the six players you'd want to fill those positions. Voting ends Feb 14th.

Framework: We are pretending that everyone on the list is fit, uninjured and unsuspended, the only thing holding players back being age and inexperience. This isn't a Round O team either, just the Best 22 team against a random opponent in random weather conditions in a random round.

In the poll above are every player I've seen listed as a defender in either DreamTeam and/or the Best 22 thread... Happy Voting! :smallfooty:

I had Rivers in my mids, but for this vote, I've gone:

B: McVee - May - Lever
HB: Rivers - Tomlinson - Bowey
Seems the safe way to go, I went the same except for Disco over Tommo. Feel like we will rotate Tommo and Disco/Hore as the second KPD pending matchups. I dont want to see Lever used as the second KPD at all this season.
 
Probably TK
