No worries PC. That’s a good point re Setterfield - I had missed that, thanks. M-F rookies seem thin on the ground this year, so he seems to be the main viable one I’ve seen (subject to fitness) but things can change quickly heading into round one.
As for the backs, it’s a tough one. I should mention that mine is currently: Whitfield, Williams, Hanley, Roberton, so I’m a little deeper but otherwise no more solid. I do have some dearer rookies in there at the moment (Collins, Scrimshaw, and previously Quaynor, who I now think could score poorly/inconsistently) so potentially they have more mature bodies (less injuries?) or greater JS. There are few options that are both proven and slightly discounted/where you can make a good case for upside though, so it’s probably a line to go light (just hopefully not too light!).
The rule changes could also be key for backs in my view, I just don’t have a strong view in who the winners and losers are at this stage. I suspect my final picks will be heavily influenced by this if we see shifts in the JLT.
