Dealing with my own team and also Saffex's team. There may be some disagreements - but what I produced thus far is the best I could do - bearing in mind available finances.
My team
PR - S Kepu, S Kitshoff
Bench : V Koch
HO - H Elliot
Bench : J Parsons
LO - P du Toit, R Arnold
Bench : Ruan Botha
BR - M Coetzee, L Labuschagne, Michael Hooper
Bench : Duane Vermeulen
SH - N White
Bench : M Drummond
FH - H Pollard
Bench : Willie du Plessis
CE - S Williams, T Kuridrani
Bench : M Fekitoa
OB - Israel Folau, Jesse Kriel, W Naholo
Bench : Julian Savea
Next week I have to bench all of Labuschagne, Kriel and Pollard because of the Bulls bye. Have to get a decent flyhalf to play and then go on the bench - but it is going to cost a lot of money.
Safferx's Team
PR - C Oosthuizen, S Kitshoff
Bench : V Koch
HO - Bismarch du Plessis
Bench : M Marx
LO - P du Toit, E Etzebeth
Bench : J Kleyn
BR - Jaco Kriel, Duane Vermeulen, Jake Schatz *
Bench : R Bothma
SH - Cobus Reinach
Bench : Piet van Zyl
FH - H Pollard
Bench : Patrick Lambie
CE - Jan Serfomtein, Damian de Allende
Bench : Howard Mnisi
OB - Israel Folau, W Naholo, Willie le Roux
Bench : S Sithole
* I battled like everything to get a full playing team - as well as to keep within budget. The only loosie I could afford with a reasonable point tally was Jake Schatz. It will take some weeks to get where we want to be with players like SB Williams, Julian Savea, Michael Hooper and Jerome Kaino in the mix. I would have to sell some expensive players on Saffex list - replace them with cheap players and thus fund the players mentioned.
Hope the team I came up with is acceptable to my fellow-League members.
