Pick our team in parts - Part 3 - 6x Starting forwards- CHOOSE 6!

OK, so part 1+2 have given us a result, so time to move onto 3.

Assume EVERYONE is fit.

Pick 6 forwards, in position.

Ignore players who have already been picked midfield/backline

Current team has a hole in each group, which we will get back to later, but looks something like this....

FB - Cowan - Weitering - Newman
HB - Saad - Haynes - xxxxxxx
C - Walsh - Cripps - xxxxxxx
R - Pittonet - Cerra - Hewett

Have at it.

It's kind of predictable what our finished team will look like.
People will go for what they're familiar with.
Hayward will probably be an inclusion most will agree on, but other recruits will struggle to get a jumper.
And fully fit with no injuries...it won't be a bad side.
There may be a sprinkling of newbies on the bench.

Our problems over the last few years have always been about fielding our best side.
It just hasn't been possible.
The only way it can realistically be achieved, without huge luck, is on paper (or screen)

But I suspect that what we finish with when this exercise is done will be very different to the side that actually takes the field against Sydney.
I expect all of Dean, Hayward, Ainsworth and Florent to be in the 23.
As well as Jagga Smith.

Nothing showing why you can't.
7 others have.
Poll is not locked, I've locked the midfield and defender ones though.

Can you see the results?

Yes I can see the results.

I had a quick look and “liked” the post.  When I returned to the thread to complete the poll I was locked out - and my selections were going to be earth shattering 🤣

You shouldn't be able to see the results until you do.

Bingo.
That's why i asked the question.
You can only see results after you have voted. Stops people being influenced by what comes before them.

Two places where we might have a bit of trouble in this exercise will be

1) Splitting the players who are tied for a line spot.
2) The bench is going to be all over the shop with any number of players getting a spot from different posters.

Probably the solution will be to give the final line spot to the player (who plays that position) and polls the best from the bench group.

I've got some ideas on how we will flesh out remaining spots. ;) Watch this space.
I've also got some ideas on how best to work in with the bench, but that will always be open to personal preference and how you expect a side to play and what players enable that.
Simplistic example, 2 ruck vs 1 ruck. (Just on that, i've already stated on more than 1 occasion that all previous commentary on that is out the window since our lineup - and rules - have changed)

Do the votes tally with the number of voters?

It’s entirely possible that I clicked on the wrong tab but I definitely didn’t vote.
