I battled to get a team together and at this stage at this stage it looks like this:-
PR = Malherbe ($216K), Redelinghuys ($152K) - Du Toit ($112K)HO = Marx ($171K) - Taylor ($223K)LO = Etzebeth ($287), De Jager ($269K) - Carter ($150)BR = Kriel ($441K), Vito (335), Coetzee ($152K) - Liebenberg ($133K)SH = Smith ($163K) - Mathewson ($115K)FH = Sanchez ($483K) - McKenzie ($125K)CE = Vorster ($329K), Fekitoa ($374K) - Esterhuizen ($112K)OB = M-Skudder ($496K), Tuculet ($471) Nadolo ($536K) Le Roux ($112K)
The above leave me with $43 000 - but I may have to make some changes on the bench depending on team selection - so I may make some changes yet.
Tuculet is bloody expensive - but I think he will do well.

CleverMike, looks like a decent team. I dropped Le Roux as he is too eratic for my taste (as Abasquefan said on another thread).
I have loaded up on talent (points scorers) in the backs but at the cost of having to pick few average forwards. I didn't want to pick Skelton as he is turning into a dirty player but the price was right so I weakened.

I would like F olau - but he priced himself out of my team. The same with the loosies. I went for Coetzee because of price and could not afford Savea and went for Vito instead. Kriel is my banker in that case.
What is Jesse Kriel price as a center? Pity about the injury to De Allende - he would also have been a banker of mine - but I guess he is going to be expensive as hell as well.

CleverMike: Kriel costs $310K.
I hope Vito has a fantastic season he deserves it, he is a great talent & fought his way back into the ABs. I he returns to NZ after his stint overseas, he will be missed.

My team for round 1. My strategy is to make as much money in the 1st 3 rounds. I have $760k spare if I have to bring in the big guns.
A lot of the top ranked players value might fall at 1st and some of the Jaguares and Sunwolves' players are priced way too high.
PR - Goodes, Nyakane - Bench : Moodey
HO - Horie - Bench : Apisai
HO - Retallick, De Jager - Bench : Mumm
BR - Kriel(C), Savea, Coetzee - Bench : Fardy
SH - Reinach - Bench : A Smith
FH - Sopoaga - Bench : Mo'unga
CE - Ngatai, Kriel - Bench : Walden
OB - McKenzie, Milner-Skudder, Le Roux - Bench : Gelant
Bargain buys that were considered: Nce, Skelton, Tui, Toomua, Volavola, Li, Taefu (if he was listed as center)
