Best squad for your team?

[Azkatro]

I think we'd all agree that sometimes games are different to real life and that there are often some little gems of players that you can really carve up with. I have tinkered with my Cowboys squad (partly out of disappointment for the real life team hehe) and found it to go pretty well. This is with Goleel's patch applied by the way.

1 Brenton Bowen (GK)
2 Ty Williams
3 Josh Hannay (GK)
4 Leigh McWilliams
5 Matt Sing
6 Chris Sheppard (PK)
7 Michael Meigan (PK)
8 Paul Rauhihi
9 Matt Bowen
10 Jaiman Lowe
11 Kevin Campion
12 Mitchell Sargent
13 Glenn Morrison (C)

A few notes here - Bowen has better goalkicking skills than Morro. Bowman was dropped as was Norton. Meigan is a gun little halfback - and the only other one besides Sheppard with half-decent general kicking abilities. Fien and Norton and Payne's all suck. Putting Bowen in at hooker means he's always in the centre of the park and good for chasing if they make a break.

The only one I'm not real sure about is McWilliams at centre but he wasn't too bad. My first game with this squad was a 48-20 win against Storm on legend difficulty, and with the normal squad they smashed me by a similar amount.

Other good little squads people have worked out?

What's Villasanti's theft rating like? That might need adjusting.

[Eels Dude]

heres my parra team:

1 Luke Burt (gk)
2 Junior Langi
3 Ashley Graham
4 David Vaealiki
5 Eric Grothe
6 Adam Dykes (pk)
7 Michael Witt (gk)
8 Nathan Cayless (C)
9 John Morris (pk)
10 Aaron Cannings
11 Nathan Hindmarsh
12 Chris Muckert
13 Lee Hopkins

14 Craig Stapleton
15 Adam Peek
16 Dean Widders
17 Chris Thorman

I have

1. Vaealiki (better last line of defence than Burt)
2. Peterson
3. Lyon
4. Wagon (good defender again, plus seems to break tackles easily)
5. Burt (quickest in the side, gets the ball here more than fullback)
6. Thorman (pk, has a great kicking game)
7. Witt (gk)
8. Cannings
9. Webster (hardly every misses a tackle)
10. Armit
11. Hindmarsh
12. Cayless
13. Hopkins (probably the best player in the side)

14. Morris
15. Muckert
16. Widders
17. Tsoulos

Ashley Graham cannot tackle, Grothe is good but just can't fit him in the side, Morris has a good kicking game too but the others are better, Dykes seems to hang around on the wing whenever he's on the side.

[raiders_lover_18]

heres my raiders squad (in the game only)

1. McLinden - Fast to catch breaks
2. Robbo (Robertson)
3. Graham - Fast
4. Mogg - Pretty fast and good defensively
5. Choc (Schifcofske) - Break Tackle ability is awesome
6. Campese - Created
7. Drew - Good in the game.
8. O'Hara
9. Woolford
10. Davico
11. Wiki
12. Hindmarsh
13. Croker

NB: Awesome Pk all round.

14. Tyran Smith - Exciting on the fringe of the ruck
15. Micheal Weyman - Re-Created
16. Michael Hodgson
17. Terry Martin

NB: That is only in the game

In real life Monoas (Monoghan) is an awesome player. Mario created him too slow. GGRRRRRR :evil: :evil:

 

[Paullyboy]

So edit it to the way you think it shoudl be - thats what I did

 

[Sean7]

My Parra side:

1. Muspratt
2. Burt
3. Peterson
4. Langi
5. Thorman
6. Hopkins
7. Witt
8. Muckert
9. Webster
10. Vaealiki
11. Lyon
12. McKinnon
13. Grothe

This side just beat Manly 70-4 on legend (15 minute game).

Players never play in position in this game anyway, speed and tackle breaking ability is the only thing that matters. I'd like to pick a more realistic team, but seeing as the developers put no effort into making players play in their correct positions on field, it's a little pointless.

PS, add Joven Clarke to your side (he's not in any full time squads this year as far as I'm aware, so he's fair game) and watch your scorelines skyrocket. He's unstoppable, just run across field, around the defensive line and run the length of the field on every possession, even from dummy half.

 

[steven_tiger]

hahaha... i did that to play on the hard level... all backs in the forwards. worked a charm.

 

[Et#1_supporter]

Yeah, forwards do suck and are pointless, mayswell have backs in the forwards as u said.

For Cronulla:

1. David Peachey
2. Hassen Saleh
3. Jarrad Anderson (he rules) GK
4. Nigel Vagana
5. Matthew Rieck (another fast player who can brake tackles easy)
6. Myself (10 stats for everything)
7. Brett Kimmorley (c) PK GK
8. Jason Stevens
9. Michael Sullivan
10. Chris Beattie
11. Danny Nutley
12. Paul Gallen
13. Phil Bailey
