oi-matey Thanks - I did post the team earlier under the same thread s the Lions team and had serious problems in making selections. Last time I checked I had the highest accumulated amount in credit of all partic9ipants in our league and battled hard to get a reasonable selection for Saturday because of high prices of candidates. That may help me a bit more than others - so I should not moan too much. My selections for Saturday are as follows:- FR Tom Youngs BLI FR John Ulugia WAR LK Alun Wyn Jones BLI LK Will Skelton WAR LF Jamie Heaslip BLI LF Sam Warburton BLI HV Bernard Foley WAR HV Jonathan Sexton BLI CT Robert Horne WAR CT Jonathan Davies BLI OB Leigh Halfpenny BLI OB Sean Maitland BLI The above left me with a balance of only $28 000. I don't like the selections overmuch - since some of the Lions players were really not performing well insofar as point scoring is concerned. Skelton is in because of budgetary reasons. .
