If you could start a team today...

[Bulldog_4_Life]

If you guys could start a team today and were given the salary cap of $9 million what would your teams look like? Every player is available. Obviously, common sense is needed when selecting players and their salaries, a few of current players have their salaries public and if so then use those figure. Pick 20 players, a starting 17 and then 2 reserves.

If unsure of any players market value or salary then compare to examples below:

Thurston/ Taulmalalo/ Tedesco quality players: 1 million
Bromwich/ Milford/ Munster quality players: 750k
C.Walker/ Gagai/ W.Graham quality players: 500k
Aitken/ Mitchell/Peachey quality players: 300k

 

[Boxer]

Just pick the qld side lol

 

[Bulldog_4_Life]

1. Munster (750k)
2. Addo-Carr (300k)
3. Mitchell (350k)
4. Scott (300k)
5. Holmes (450k)
6. Keary (500k)
7. Cleary (600k)
8. NAS (400k)
9. Peats (450k)
10. Vaughan (500k)
11. Gillett (500k)
12. Jackson (500k)
13. Taulmalalo (1 million)

14. P. Wallace (300k)
15. Hess (350k)
16. Paulo (300k)
17. Taukeiaho (350k)

18. Peachey (300k)
19. RFM (300k)

Speed, Strength and X-Factor in the backs. 2 half’s that compliment each other and an Ace goal kicker in the half’s spots. Big blokes with a big motor and good defense in the pack with great impact off the bench and Wallace who can cover half’s and hooker.

 

[coach]

2. Addo-Car 350k
3. Mitchell 350k
4. Manu 350k

6. Johnson (under the right coach he would be immense) 750k
7. Cleary 500k
8. Vaughan 500k
9. Peats 500k
10. Klemmer 750k
11. Graham 500k

Like the pairing of Johnson and Cleary, Johnson would only have to focus on his running game, being the X-Factor and being the 2nd playmaker, Cleary would direct the team around and be the main playmaker.

You guys realise the 9.4 mil cap has to stretch across the entire fg squad right?

No one is getting Cleary for under $800k.

Yeah we know, it's just more interesting for the discussion to have it stretch amongst 19 players.

 

[The 2nd Spitter]

If unsure of any players market value or salary then compare to examples below:
Bromwich/ Milford/ Munster quality players: 750k

If Karl Marx was alive today, he would cite the fact Eastwood is on more money than Munster as evidence that capitalism is a failure.
