There's actually a three way tie for halback thus far... The eligibility aspect can get a little complicated (not so much with Kahui obviously), so I'm happy to accept any player playing in an Australian team.

Alrighty, last call folks... Looking for more submissions, or if anyone wants to adjust their halfback or inside centre picks....

Looking for more submissions... we've got a few deadlocks I'd like to break. BR - have you caught up on the rest of the games yet?

Nah, there was a clear winner there... but I'm going to take on a very simple solution to solve this week's conundrum.

So, I don't like to share the spoils for team of the week... Last year I got creative on a couple of occasions where there were equal votes in one position. Before I post this week's team, I'll just send a final call for more votes otherwise I'll have to make a very tough decision.

Footscray?

No problemo… I reckon if people just stick to the regular 1-15 format they’ve done so far it should be all good. And maybe just add the round number at the head of the post, but I’ll try and put up every team of the round every Friday which should help sorting through at the end. Last year we...

I’m happy to compile each week’s picks again like last year, but as the thread starter I’ll give Wilson first choice if he wants the gig…

Slim’s Round one picks: 1. Bell (WAR) 2. Kaitu’u (FOR) 3. Ala'alatoa (BRU) 4. Lee-Warner (FOR) 5. Rodda (FOR) 6. Valetini (BRU) 7. Scott (BRU) 8. Wilson (RED) 9. Gordon (WAR) 10. Donaldson (WAR) 11. Daugunu (RED) 12. Foketi (WAR) 13. Perese (WAR) 14. Wright (BRU) 15. Campbell (RED)

Because... It was forward.

This is some sort of payback, isn’t it? 14 pages of Kurtey Beale discussion in the Brumbies thread…

Stephen Larkham too…

Because that will prevent “back up” 10’s from leaving to become “starting” 10’s? And is Lolesio a very naughty boy?

Gotcha… that makes sense. I can only assume Prior is starting because of the inexperience in his inside backs, however Kuenzle was trusted to start at 10 for the Brumbies for much of their 2020 season… so for me it is an odd choice. I agree that Prior is probably a few years past his best…...

Anyways, I’m pretty sure all Mack Hansen discussion belongs in the Tahs thread…

Muirhead and Wright were deservingly rated above him based on performances… Clark wasn’t signed until well after Hansen had left.

You haven’t seen him, don’t really know him, but have formed the opinion that he is a weak link? Fines is certainly more than capable…

The Brumbies’ backline reserves don’t look as strong without the likes of Kuenzle (really started to flourish at 12 during Super Rugby TT), Hansen or Kata… The dip in quality there could be the Brumbies undoing this year. Strong starting lineup from both sides otherwise.
