Post your team thread V.2

[IDIG]

Backs: Goddard, Newman, C Cornes, Malceski, Houlihan, Raines, Grimes (Hill, Suban)
Pretty happy with how this shapes up, provided Hoops and Raines are in the best 22 regularly. Surely one of Grimes/Hill/Suban can hold down spot #7.

Mids: Bartel, Judd, Gibbs, Foley, Masten, Rich (Robinson, Beams)
Bartel and Judd are money. I believe in Bryce Gibbs. Foley seems like value in a strengthened Tiges midfield, and the last three are the best bets I can see for making cash.

Rucks: Cox, McIntosh (J White, Currie)
Cox = awesome. McIntosh is risk/reward. Does the 2007 or 2008 version turn up? Very very talented, I think he'll be back in a big way. Provided Laidley doesn't screw it up. I've gone for cheap, double-cover from Swans backups. One of them should be deputy to Jolly.

Forwards: Harvey, Pavlich, Deledio, Lucas, Higgins, Skipworth, Ziebell (Sidebottom, T Walker)
First 3 are just good SCers. Then it's risk and money-makers. I'm getting very very cold feet on Lucas. Sidebottom looks good, and I'd be staggered if Ziebell didn't play most of the year. He looks ready.

I've got about $169k left to spend, and I'm fiddling around with what to do. Do I forget this Lucas experiment and buy in another $500k forward (Giansira, maybe)? Do I get the one defender I feel I'm missing - Sam Fisher? Do I realise that McIntosh isn't that good and buy Hille. I also can't believe I don't currently have Travis Tuck in there. Surely he's points this year. Naturally I will look to buy Hodge and Gary Jnr during the year. But not at their current, stupid prices. Anyone see superstar Aaron Joseph contain Ablett last night? I'm not buying at $700k+ unless I have no other option.

Personally im not a fan of getting Lucas but i can see why those who have him have chosen to. Proven star but im unsure if he can regain any of his old form. With McIntosh i feel like he's at best gonna average 50 and no more. IMO id prefer to go burger and bank 130k but then again he's no lock for 50ppg

I wouldnt be too worried about your backs but a move i can see is Gilbee instead of Lucas and Houlahan fwd. Im the same with Gaz and Hodge as well, and wont grab them until they go down (hopefully). Pretty sure Walker got injured against the Cats earlier this year but not sure how seriuos it was but maybe something to check.

Looking very solid regardless of how u spend your last 169k.

My team

BACKS: Malceski, Drummond, B. Goddard, S. Fisher, R. Houlihan, S. Hill, A. Rains (EMG: Z. N. Suban, A. Rance)

I like my backs i really think its stable and could deliever some real big scores. Only delima i'm having atm is bring in Cornes for drummond but that means i got to trade gia down to brennan or anyone cheaper such as BJ.

MIDS: G. Ablett, C. Judd, B. Gibbs, D. Cross, T. Tuck, D. Rich (EMG: M. Robinson, T. Swift)

My favourtie part of my team. I love my 4 preiumums an i think tuck and rich shold do deliver some good scores which will allow me to upgrade them later down the track

RUCKS: Simmonds, Hille (EMG: Currie, Meesen)

I prefer hille over cox. I think hille can deliever the same scores that cox can at a much cheaper cost. This is going to be hilles year! Simmonds should keep his 70 odd avg from last year imo.

FWDS: B. Harvey, Pavlich, B. Delideo, Higgens, Giansricusia, Skipworth, Zeibell (EMG: S. Sidebottom, M. Thorp)

As i mentioned before, the little delima i have with gia/brennan (or any fwd under 500k) has got me stumped. I like my fwds, but i think they could have been stronger, but i can always upgrade the lieks of skippy an higgens.

Bank: $300

Wow did you get more than $10m? Great job, Brennan is no go from what i understand he's done a hammy or something. I really can't fault this team, i can see that no Cox may put you behind as most teams will have him but apart from that you've got a very nice balance of guns, cows and rookies. If i was to make one change id include Beams as a mid bench from what i can see he'll be getting games early.

Bank: $300

The lack of funds is a worry, you leave yourself with very little room if u get a few early injuries or if a youngster doesnt step up

Backs: I don't like Drummond. I'd do the Cornes idea but I'd pick some1 better than Brennan.
I'd consider upgrading ur reserves in case Houlihan gets squeezed out... I wanted Ryan too but I just dont trust him.
Fisher is always a solid player. Goddard may be over priced but I have him too... big potential. I have Malceski too.

Mids: thats quite an envious midfield line. Very pricey though. I'd consider trading some1 down for Kerr or Cornes and look to trade up when prices drop

Rucks: Simmonds is good value, I think u can do better than Hille for $470k'ish you could settle for a much cheaper ruckman ala McIntosh that may hit an occassional big score and upgrade ur backline/mids.

Forwards: That's a good forward line but again ur reserves are longshots. I say do the trades of ur dilemma... will be more even team.

My team

Backs
Goddard, Fisher, Waite, C. Cornes, Wojincski, Grima, Raines (S. Hill, Dawson)

I like my backline. S. Hill is a decent reserve that should play a bit. Dawson is showing good form at the Saints and is most likey going to be upgraded the minute some1 goes down

Mids
K. Cornes, Kerr, Cousins, Lockyer, Haselby, Rich (Ziebell, E. Connors)

medium priced midfield full of players that could all be big scorers. Haselby makes me uncomfortable but there are 3 players all fighting for that last spot and could all be huge gainers, which would allow me to trade Haselby out. Connors very skinny but has been impressive (could be a better reserve out there though)

Rucks: Cox, M. Gardiner, (J. White, Pyke)

Cox needs no intro. Gardiner is looking very good for the Saints and i'm hoping that he'll be solid for $230k until i can trade him out for one of Pyke and White that should step up

Forwards: Richardson, Petrie, Didak, Johnson, Lucus, Hansen, Higgins (Heyne, Sidebottom)

Solid forward line. Am hoping to trade one of my guys eventually for Riewoldt and fingers crossed that Higgins and Lucus will be the finds of the year (they both sunk me last season)

I'm uneasy about my reserves.
Heyne should play a few games this season but i can't rely on him week in week out... don't know about Sidebottom either
Who's better??? Gumbleton?

thankjs for the feedback

Rucks: Cox, M. Gardiner, (J. White, Pyke)

Forwards: Richardson, Petrie, Didak, Johnson, Lucus, Hansen, Higgins (Heyne, Sidebottom)

Skeptic, your question of whether to get sidebottom or gumbleton, well i have gumbleton and thats because i have gone with ziebell as my expensive 1st yr. the only difference i can see between them atm is price and could you use the extra cash?? i think you could!

Backs: hill on the bench is too much money, remove grima and hav hill starting, suban/rance/kite could fill the bench position...again giving you more money! i like waite, i wish i could have him but im not a fan of having too many of the same team and im taking the risk with houlihan in my backs, but u are in for some good points from him!

Mids: I think its very weak, the biggest name is kornes and he is one of the risks for 09. infact rich is the only one in your mids that is not a risk coz he is sure to go up! i would probably look at upgrading 1 of cousins/kerr/lockyer to a consistant gun(ie. cross/judd/corey)

rucks: cox...well if you have him you are at a good start already, gardiner is on the low in many boards and i think he is the going to be the ruckman that many people keep to them selves.

Fwds: again too much money on the bench! and you are taking 3 big risks in lucas/hansen/higgins and johnson is possibly on the down(i had him and have since made changes and he is now out), Richo and petrie but i have never rated didak sorry.

all in all: i cant see where your money has gone, there are not enough standouts Goddard/fisher/waite/cox/richo/petrie. 6 is not enuf, you need at least 10, you could end up with a good team but luck needs to be in your favour, i suggest you downgrade some of those bench players amnd use that cash to upgrade 2 players, imo i think you are taking too many risks. but no1 is a genius in supercoach. goodkluck

my team:

Backs: Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Drummond, Malceski, Houlihan, Hill (Kite, Rance)

I really like the look of my backline atm only thing i may change is my emg, will be 2 of kite/rance/suban

Mids: Cross, Judd, Pendlebury, Wells, Haselby, Rich (Beams, Robinson)

Have changed this area so many times but i think it justkeeps gettin bettter, i think this is very close to what i will begin season with. Havent decided100% on wells, alotof talent at his price, and all i think will have good yrs but just deciding who is the trouble.

Rucks: Cox, Mcintosh (White, Trengrove)

I am currently looking for some cash to get ottens instead of the mish but cantseem to find as i only have 1,600 left. I know trengrove is not expected to start for a few weeks but as emgin rucks i can wait, i will use him as a late yr cash cow.

Fwd: Pavlich, Richo, Deledio, Fev, Higgins, Skipworth, Ziebell (Gumbleton, Walker)

this is the worrying part of my team i think, higgins and skippy are major risks and lots of ppl are taking just 1 or the other, but i am thinking using that cash elsewhere is great but yes big risk. i doubt they will score avg of over 75 but i am hoping to make a good 100k+ out of them both.

cheers for any opinions

A predictably strong squad. I'd use your spare $ to turn masten into a kerr

Newman? Will have a very good year, but I don't see the value at his price.

Unlikely to win the comp as there will be heaps of teams almost identical to this one, but you'll go close to winning your league for sure.

I'm off the Lucas train. Made Houliha a fwd and upgraded defence.

As you said, this team is extremely risky. White at starting ruck! Well, the number of guns does make this team look alot better then it will probably score...Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Ablett, Bartel, Judd, Cross, Cox, Harvey, Pavlich, Deledio and Chapman. I hope this team works out for you but starting 2 rookies in the forwardline and running White in the ruck. The team that wins overall will probably have its own strategy, and this may be it. Howver, you find it really difficult to upgrade. Overall good-looking team.

My Team V.2

Backs: Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Malceski, Houlihan, Raines, Grimes (Hill, Petrenko)

Midfield: Judd, Selwood, Gibbs, Wells, Tuck, Rich (Beams, Robinson)

Rucks: Cox, Sandilands (Currie, Giles)

Forwards: Pavlich, Deledio, N.Brown, Chapoman, Higgins, Skipworth, Ziebell (Grant, Walker

The backs are fairly risky but I'm happy with them. Goddard, Gilbee and Cornes should peovide consistent 100's. In the mids, Judd, Selwood, Gibbs and Wells have great SC pitential. Judd and Selwood should get more midfield time and have consistent improvement. Rucks, Sandilands and Cox are perfect. I think Sandi can move into the elite SC scorers this season. Forwards - this is where I'vce spent quite a bit of money. Pavliuch, Deledio, N.G.Brown/J.Brown and Chapman should all help keeep my scores up. I don't mind running 1 rookie in the forwardline TBH. I'm happier with this team then the one previously posted. I think I'm getting very close to the team that I will start for round 1. Have $4,900 left in the bank. What do you think of my team?

Thanks for the generosity. Yeh, I'm definitely in it for the league play, not the overall. Bragging rights over my mates is key here.

I took advantage of the unlimited trades to fling everything around again last night... turned H-Mac into Ottens, moved Hoops forward, Higgins into the middle, dropped Masten (as a mid) for Adcock (as a defender).

Effectively McIntosh->Ottens and Masten-> Adcock. Feeling a bit stronger.

i like your team - your backs and forwards all have their stars, and your low'ish players who will make u some cash

rucks - doesn't look like you'll need to use a trade in that area all year long

mids - good midfield, i think selwood will have a great year too!

my team looks like this atm: any comments are welcome

Fwds - Pav, Deledio, J.Brown, J.Moore, Higgins, B.Reid, T.Walker (J.Grant & Gumbleton)

$18,800 left in the bank

I think my team looks a bit different than most. My backs are unconventional, but i'm only hoping for about 70-80pts from them at the start of the year. mainly, i'm after 20+ games from the likes of gram, mackie, adcock and mundy - hopefully some of them stick, but will look to upgrade the lower priced ones first

Mids - i've invested a ton here lol - i've decided with morton over t.tuck and masten, since he's likely to play every game and gets tons of time on the ground - would prob get bartell & another big name in there eventually, will need to see who's playing well near the end of the year

Rucks - hopefully i won't have to trade anything from here all year, that's the plan anyway

Fwds - the first 3 should be there the whole year. J. Moore, i don't think i've seen anyone with him, but am hoping he keeps his value for most of the year. Reid is a weird pick, but apart from his 2 stinkers last year, he actually scored 80 in one game i think - if he's in the pies 22, then i'm sure he could avg about 50-60 odd for the year, which hopefully makes him easy to upgrade

what are some opinions on my team?

I'm thinking of making Hogan and Robinson emergencies for midfield.

Backline: Very risky, with all of raines, petterd, grimes and hill all starting on the field, not too sure how fit hodge is, talk is he is injured, which would indicate a slow start to the season and a price drop.

Mid: Good solid midfield line, dont know much about mclean, but your top 4 there are good, maybe downgrade murphy to gibbs? plus hodge down to someone like gilbee, then upgrade one of your defenders?

Rucks: Decent, Kreuzer is some big money to be sitting on your bench though, think about downgrading him and upgrading jolly

Forward: Good mix, dont know how bate will go tis year but i think you have got good stars, and good money makers in there too, emergencies should play, good picks.

hope that helps.

now here is my team, probably my final team pending round 1 teams:

Back: Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Houli, Adcock, Raines, Hill (Petrenko, Rance)
Fairly happy with my backline, it is stronger than i thought it would be a few weeks ago, but im happy with it.

Mid: Ablett, Judd, Gibbs, Foley, T.Tuck, Rich (Robinson, Beams)
Having ablett there for me makes up for not having 4 500k+ players, plus i think foley will step it up this year with Cuz and deledio moving more into the middle, Hoping Tuck is this years J.Mcveigh.

Ruck: Cox, McIntosh (Graham, Currie)
Not happy with McIntosh there, but cant seem to find any money, otherwise happy.

Forward: Pavlich, Deledio, Giansiracusa, S.Johnson, Higgins, Henstchel, Ziebell (Gumbleton, Grant)
Happy here, got 4 guys that i could keep all year, higgins, well everyone knows about him by know, and henstchel has somehow persuaded me.

Bank: $700

I have 1 problem, i can either go with:

McIntosh, S.Johnson, Giansiracusa
OR
Hille, Houlihan, Chapman (making my rucks perfect, but leaving my 4th forward at only 298k)

Advice would be helpfull
Cheers

I'm thinking of making Hogan and Robinson emergencies for midfield.

youve got a few players in your starting 22 who probably wont play round 1 so youll need to have a look at that, maybe get rid of hodge for a few rounds and he will probably go down in price then you can upgrade a player to hodge.

Heres my side:

Backs: Goddard, Milburn, Burgoyne, Taylor, Houlihan, Raines, Hill (Suban, Quinn) looking to find some cash from somewhere to upgrade houlihan to adcock

Mids: Judd, Corey, Cooney, Selwood, Foley, Rich (Robinson, De Boer)
didnt fork out the cash for ablett but will probably buy him when he comes down in price a bit

Rucks: Koschitzke, Ottens (Currie, Spencer)
i think this might be koschitzkes year

Forwards: Franklin, Deledio, Brown, Fevola, Anthony, Neagle, Ziebell (Ballantyne, Gumbleton)
looking to find out a bit more info on ballantyne anyone know if hell be playing round 1?

Cash Left: $9000

 

[johno_1989]

Wow did you get more than $10m? Great job, Brennan is no go from what i understand he's done a hammy or something. I really can't fault this team, i can see that no Cox may put you behind as most teams will have him but apart from that you've got a very nice balance of guns, cows and rookies. If i was to make one change id include Beams as a mid bench from what i can see he'll be getting games early.

LOL! Cheers. Yeah ive been thinking about putting beams in my team for maybe swift, as i think robinson will be playing a few games early on. Yeah no cox in my team is an issue but i think hille could match cox this year.

The lack of funds is a worry, you leave yourself with very little room if u get a few early injuries or if a youngster doesnt step up

Backs: I don't like Drummond. I'd do the Cornes idea but I'd pick some1 better than Brennan.

I'm uneasy about my reserves.
Heyne should play a few games this season but i can't rely on him week in week out... don't know about Sidebottom either
Who's better??? Gumbleton?

thankjs for the feedback

Cheers, I'm still fine tuning my emg's. Don't know yet who i'll have in my team. Im most likely going to the trade but since brennan is injured got to look at other porspects.

With your team.

Backs: are really strong. Only thing i'd change about it is getting rid od of wojinski. I don't think he will play as many games this season.

Mids: with no real premiums in the midfield you still have a pretty good line up with mid ranged players. I have the same worries about haselby but i traded him out for T. Tuck. Cousins is a but of a worry for me to an is way to risky at his price. But to there own i suppose.

Rucks: Going the a different combo with Cox. M. Gardner should give you some nice scores to go along with cox as long as he stays fit. I like your emg's they should help if gardner does go down, or could upgrade him down the track.

FWD: I really like your fwds. Real strong an potential to score big. I would change hansen to Skipworth as i see skippy hitting much big scores then hansen this year.

As for your question i'd go sidebottom an gumbleton or thorp. All three should get a lot of game time

Its refreshing to see a new-look team put forward. Unique players are always the ones who will make or break a game come Sunday evening.

With your backs, my first thought was that you are lacking one of the genuine guns that you can lock in for 100pts+ week in, week and has the ability to post 150+'s (i.e S.Fisher, B.Goddard, L.Gilbee etc.) Having said that though, Chadly was the poster boy for the exact type of player I described only a couple of seasons back. If he finds his groove again, you could have one for $70k less than these others!

Midfield is awesome. The only selection worth even questioning is Morton. I haven't followed him much during the off/pre-season, however I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are on his role in your team; cash cow or smokey? Barring injuries, I couldnt see you needing to make many (if any) changes in the guts.

Rucks are again looking good. As 95% of teams will have Cox, you'll have the peace of mind that you aren't coming up against him. Petrie I will be interested in following this year. Currie has been touted as the likely candidate to lock down the 2nd ruck spot for Sydney, and Terry Wallace was speaking on SEN about how Gus will be played as Richmonds 2nd ruck. Even if these guys only score 30-40's, playing 4th ruckmen that aren't relied upon yet still accumulate capital are gold when it comes to the end of the season! Good stuff here

Forwards are good too. One thing to check into would be Reid's injury from Friday night. Had his ankle in ice towards the end of the game if I remember correctly? Also not sure how cemented his spot in Collingwood's best 22 is. Rusling, Anthony, Rocca etc will all be looked at for similar roles, so may struggle in that area.

Good luck!

My team is as follows:

BACKS: B.Goddard, S.Fisher, C.Newman, L.Gilbee, N.Malceski, A.Raines, S.Hill (J.Grimes, N.Suban)
Am using the tactic of investing heavily in quality backline disposers. With the style of flood/rolling zone games shown so far this year, I'm hoping the gamble pays off! Hill & Grimes will fight it out for the #7 spot.

MIDFIELD: J.Bartel, C.Judd, S.Pendlebury, B.Gibbs, C.Masten, D.Rich (P.Dangerfield, D.Beams)
Very happy with this line up. Big things have been mentioned about Gibbs making the transition from quality to elite player level this season. As for Masten's critics, I would rather have a kid that can find the ball 25 times per game and stuff up occasionally than one that only finds it 10 times and has to rely on hitting a target each time to score the same.

RUCKS: D.Cox, D.Hille (J.White, D.Currie)
Hopefully wont even need to make a change here.

FORWARDS: M.Pavlich, B.Deledio, R.Houlihan, P.Veszpremi, S.Higgins, H.Skipworth, J.Ziebell (S.Gumbleton, H.Ballantyne)
By far the weakest point of my team, however with a lot of people having a couple of the cheaper players listed above, if they fail to have an impact it wont hurt as much as if they were a unique cheapy elsewhere.
Also expect Gumbleton to play most games, so hopefully wont need to carry a 0 (even though he will probably only post a 30 )

Have $36,900 in the bank.

Any feedback welcome.

youve got a few players in your starting 22 who probably wont play round 1 so youll need to have a look at that, maybe get rid of hodge for a few rounds and he will probably go down in price then you can upgrade a player to hodge.

Heres my side:

Backs: Goddard, Milburn, Burgoyne, Taylor, Houlihan, Raines, Hill (Suban, Quinn) looking to find some cash from somewhere to upgrade houlihan to adcock

Mids: Judd, Corey, Cooney, Selwood, Foley, Rich (Robinson, De Boer)
didnt fork out the cash for ablett but will probably buy him when he comes down in price a bit

Rucks: Koschitzke, Ottens (Currie, Spencer)
i think this might be koschitzkes year

Forwards: Franklin, Deledio, Brown, Fevola, Anthony, Neagle, Ziebell (Ballantyne, Gumbleton)
looking to find out a bit more info on ballantyne anyone know if hell be playing round 1?

Cash Left: $9000

Backs: Very good backline. Think Taylor will have an even higher scoring year this year. Raines a good pick up even though most have him.
Mids: Gun midfield. Finding it hard to criticise this team so far.
Rucks:If Kosi can fulfill his potential then he would be a great pick up but im not sure he's as good as we all think. Still a solid ruck choice.
Forwards: Only question mark on this line is Neagle on the field.Doesnt seem to be a player who will score a great deal.
Overall a v.g team that is hard to fault.

My team
Backs: H.Shaw,P.Burgoyne,C.Cornes,Adcock,Raines,Malceski,Hill EMG:Suban,Rance
Backline seems to be the position with the least gun players. Taken risks with players who have shown in the past they can be v.g supercoach players but injuries have hindered them recently eg.Adcock,Raines,Malceski
Mids:Ablett,Selwood,Kerr,Foley,Griffen ,Rich EMG:Robinson,Swift
I know Gaz is expensive but i just cant leave him out.Selwood,Ablett,Kerr and Foley are the players i expect to score highly each week. Hopefully Griffen can break out this year.
Rucks:Ottens,Mcintosh EMG:Cordy,Currie
No real guns in this line but i only really rate Cox as a gun in the rucks division and i can't fit Ablett and Cox in the one team.Both rucks at their best will be a good solid ruck division
Forwards:Franklin,J.Brown,Fevola,S.Johnson,Thomas,Alwyn Davey,Higgins
EMG Gumbleton,Hogan
Reckon i have 4 guns in the line(Buddy,Fev,SJ and Brown) and Thomas could achieve greater points if he gets a positional move at Collingwood. Davey and Higgins are my risks here.
Remaining salary cap $16,700

 

[UpTheGuts]

Effectively McIntosh->Ottens and Masten-> Adcock. Feeling a bit stronger.

agreed

 

[ReluctantLion]

Have just registered for Super Coach. Anyways here's my team at present. All feedback appreciated.

Backs- J Macdonald, Drummond, Adcock, Wojcinski, Ryder, Raines & Grimes. (Collier & Rance)

Mids- Black, Mitchell, Dalziell, Foley, Cousins & Polkinghorne. (Rich & Ziebell)

Rucks- Hille & Maric. (Leuenberger & Goldstein)

Forwards- Chapman, Bradshaw, Fevola, LeCras, B Ebert, Headland & A Edwards. (Sidebottom & Cornelius)

 

[RPetterd15]

I have 1 problem, i can either go with:

McIntosh, S.Johnson, Giansiracusa
OR
Hille, Houlihan, Chapman (making my rucks perfect, but leaving my 4th forward at only 298k)

Advice would be helpfull
Cheers

I would have McIntosh, S.Johnson, Giansiracusa. McIntosh's price will go up and Hilles price might go down in the first few weeks( Still a bit sore apparently) and Chapman's price could go down

 

[trix17]

Backline: Very risky, with all of raines, petterd, grimes and hill all starting on the field, not too sure how fit hodge is, talk is he is injured, which would indicate a slow start to the season and a price drop.

Mid: Good solid midfield line, dont know much about mclean, but your top 4 there are good, maybe downgrade murphy to gibbs? plus hodge down to someone like gilbee, then upgrade one of your defenders?

Rucks: Decent, Kreuzer is some big money to be sitting on your bench though, think about downgrading him and upgrading jolly

Forward: Good mix, dont know how bate will go tis year but i think you have got good stars, and good money makers in there too, emergencies should play, good picks.

hope that helps.

now here is my team, probably my final team pending round 1 teams:

Back: Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Houli, Adcock, Raines, Hill (Petrenko, Rance)
Fairly happy with my backline, it is stronger than i thought it would be a few weeks ago, but im happy with it.

Mid: Ablett, Judd, Gibbs, Foley, T.Tuck, Rich (Robinson, Beams)
Having ablett there for me makes up for not having 4 500k+ players, plus i think foley will step it up this year with Cuz and deledio moving more into the middle, Hoping Tuck is this years J.Mcveigh.

Ruck: Cox, Kreuzer (Graham, Currie)
Not happy with Kreuzer there, but cant seem to find any money, otherwise happy.

Forward: Pavlich, Deledio, Giansiracusa, S.Johnson, Higgins, Henstchel, Ziebell (Gumbleton, Grant)
Happy here, got 4 guys that i could keep all year, higgins, well everyone knows about him by know, and henstchel has somehow persuaded me.

Bank: $700

I have 1 problem, i can either go with:

Kreuzer, S.Johnson, Giansiracusa
OR
Hille, Houlihan, Chapman (making my rucks perfect, but leaving my 4th forward at only 298k)

Advice would be helpfull
Cheers

sorry, mine got missed.

Your team is very different to most. You should have a lot of money left over. I would upgrade Ryder and Headland
