I picked a preliminary team with a group of players I wanted then at this point of the year used the auto complete. my initial predicted score for R1 is 1135 points.

More than likely I’ll start from scratch when the time gets nearer and fine tune the squad when we get to team list Tuesday before R1.

I've put in a misfits team just to have a team in place.  I'll listen to all the podcasts over the next few weeks to keep in touch with what's going on but won't touch my team again until TLT.  From past experience so much can change its not worth tweaking all the time - unless you enjoy it of course!

Hopefully we’ll avoid any misfits when it comes to the real thing.

So just five places left to grab. Good to see nine have already chosen their team badge/logo

I would if it helped me. Of the other named teams I must say my favourite is James’ Flat Capper Select. I’m biased though as Flat Cappers is the nickname of my UK team Featherstone Rovers.

[Graham]

Just one place up for grabs!

Most novel team name this season?

My favourite last year I think was 'Payne in the Haas'.

Quite like Tony's I'll Try Harder ... or similar!  

[Graham]

By the way, it'd be interesting to hear a few words from any newcomers - where you are based, favourite team/s, first timers or seasoned Supercoachers etc?

Oh and if you can suggest the perfect squad to start with, that would be appreciated...  

[Graham]

Well I was going to pick McInnes as my prime  hooker. but now it'll have to be someone else!

He was always going to be very expensive and a bit of a risk given the fact that the rest of the Saints line up isn't up to much and wouldn't be any help to him. To replace him : Cook? Grant? Api? Or a bit left field like Mahoney or Friend? And who are we spending our prop money on given that Haas is out for the first few weeks?

[Graham]

Cook and Grant are the forerunners surely. Expensive, but necessary I reckon. I notice Cam Smith is priced up there still. Surely he won be kicking off this season will he?!!!

As for props, I’ll likely uses a couple I used last time...

It's a shame that Payne in the Haas are not competing again this year. From what I remember, they set the benchmark in this league and finished in the top 100-200? in Supercoach.

I am currently thinking of going without a gun hooker to start with, to balance things out elsewhere. If I had my last fiver and you asked me to place a bet on who will be the highest scoring hooker in 2021, my money would be on Grant.

Don't you think he might have to share time on the field with Brandon Smith? Like you, I think the money might be better spent elsewhere.

He may well have to share minutes, but I still don't think that is a major negative to not starting with him. He's going to be in a much better attacking team and that will result in him getting more chances to improve on last season's attacking stats. I think even when he played reduced minutes last season, his average didn't drop off too much. I was initially torn between him and Cook, to not having either and going cheap, to thinking it may be too much of a risk not going with a gun from the off. If I do go with a gun then I may well look for POD options in my 2RF.

You make it sound so easy! 

My preliminary squad needs altering quite a lot after TLT. 

How many have you retained from last season RE?

I only have 3 who finished last season in my team.. Not sure if that is good or bad!
