He is a lock but thats what I think - but in terms of best 22 today thats it any other questions?

*scratches head*
Your answers seem to create further questions, not answer them.

Maybe someone else can point out the logic there.

I think it depends if you're picking a best 22 to play a match or the best 22 players on the list.

Binns might be your number 24-25 best player.
But if you're picking for position he might be your second best wingman.

I think that the app Kruddler linked encourages one to pick the best combination of 22 players rather than the 22 best players.  At least, that’s how I approached selecting my best 22.

As much as I was impressed by Binnsy taking down Newey and his off season preparation, there’s no way that he’s best 25 or close to the fifth best winger.

Correct.

Its by position and with team balance in mind.

It's probably something we've stated in previous attempts at the exercise but perhaps it needs to be restated each time in the OP.

"We're looking at a team to take the field if everyone is fully fit."

I actually go through the list and pick my best 22 and if I can work a team with a semblance of balance around that I will.

Perhaps you should make that clear before each poll.

Ir's  not a biggie
Let's just make it clear for future polls we're picking a side not a best 22 ability wise.

In truth I've found there is actually not a lot of difference, and it comes down to a choice between a couple of players at the tail of the exercise.

Sorry I don't do that, I select names and count to 22 and then as I find blokes further down the list who haven't made it in, I pick them and then drop whomever.

Ultimately, i think my 22 would least be representative of a team that would field the team together so sorry I'm skewing things.  I reckon I wouldn't have time to do it properly.

With the link i provided, i find it quicker to use that to form a best 22 side than it would be to do it your way, but maybe thats just me.

I find using that site makes the best 22 selection a lot simpler ... until you get to the interchange and have 6-8 players to squeeze into four spots  ::)

Yeah my line up consisted of experienced, hardened and tough bodies that go the distance for 22 rounds with zero youth exhuberance but you always need 2-3 of those floating around the edges of first team bonafides..

Unfortunately don't see any of these youngsters making 22under22 without opportunity. Apart from the usual suspects that are gifted games even after poor performances
