I went for a blowout and sacrificed one of my centre positions to get Pat Richards in, not sure whether that will work out well for me though! I think he might offer more with his goal kicking than an ok winger and centre would.

Any comments?

how is this for a team!

Very risky having a dead player like that in your team, normally I dont do it because I generally think its better for your whole team to be playing games but if your others score heavily enough it may just be ok.

Who's that dead player?

Jamie Cording is the dead player, I can't seem to fit in a decent winger and centre, so just gone for the top points scorer...

Not sure which will work better!

what does everyone think of my team! comments wanted! i think it is pretty good

Being honest, theres quite a few players you could trade for cheaper ones who would offer alot more. One example being Wellens.

Thats my final team ! Took Gardner out as he was taking up too much of the budget so I had more money to use on other position like hooker and centre. I think Ryan Hall will score plenty of tries so it should be alright. If not I'll make the changes back during the season.

Probably most them as they will score the same amount of points and leave you with some change.

Your back rowers will score about 8 points between them during the season.

Hodgson - 180,000 - great bargain, kicker and try scorer.

Only 1 kicker. Tickle.

and poor choices at centres IMHO

Only 1 starting kicker and 3 stand in kickers, besides I went for kickers more last season trying a different tactic this season. Some very high try scorers in there tho IMO.

I'd say they are the two best choice at centres.

I can omly see 1 stand in kicker. Sykes.
