In the event that we don't get 3 cheap playing mid rookies in R1 (or 2 plus a donut), is it too much to put someone like Ward on the bench?
I think I am going to take the approach to picking a team that @Herbie66 regularly spruiks.

Pick your two rucks (not as easy as it sounds this year). Pick the best available rookies. Then fill the rest of your team as best you can from there. That might mean having a Stephens and Sinn on the midfield bench, but at this stage that looks to be the hand we might be dealt

Lol I just followed the commandments from the great man @Rowsus.

Using realistic (more expensive) bench options is my idea though , will never understand why people get excited with their team when they use multiple $ 102k players that won't play and have to change their side come Round 1 in any case.

My bench currently has 7 players priced above $ 123,900.00 for planning purposes until the Round 1 teams are announced.

Seriously contemplating starting Rachele at F7 as my F1-6 could break any round.

D Stephens @ M9 if and when I move Daicos back and Horne-Francis forward , obviously depending if Stephens looks like a decent score.

Would prefer to "hide" Sinn on the mid bench if possible , not as bullish on him as many here seem to be.

haha no I knew that the method wasnt your idea originally, but you do advocate for it on a regular basis!

Apologies and credit to his eminence Rowsus
