I'll be reposting this on the day before the season starts, I figure i'll post what i have now to start some conversation. I haven't ranked a team if they had cpu's in the starting lineup, so hurry up and finish your team and i'll include you.

1- Fiji Stingers- A mile ahead of the rest of us, they'll dominate the first half, but if GLB history is anything to go by, may have trouble in the playoffs as other teams advance levels.

2- Fiji Flying Foxes- That must be some good water in Fiji. #2 Flying Foxes will be chasing the stingers all season long. They look powerful on offense, with either the run or the pass. The D-line looks formidable but their corners might get abused.

3- Newcastle Mountain Lions- That O-line is a beast but no one else on offense should scare anyone. The O-line should make any type of HB look good,but passing may be a problem as they start out. A well rounded D with only a few holes in it, should keep them in most games.

4- Alice Springs Rock Wallabies- A decent O will put up points but the defense is going to give up quite a few themselves. This team is going to surprise a few people.

5- Guadalcanal Gunners- Too many average leveled players across the board will make this team struggle for every win, but don't be surprised if the stick around in games against higher leveled teams.

6- Wollogong Shaved Pussycats- Expect a middle of the pack finish, but the offense might catch some teams expecting an easy win off guard.

7- Hamilton Falcons- It's going to be a long season in Hamilton if they don't pound the pavement and bring in some more talent.

8-16- get rid of the cpu's

That's what i have so far, i'll finish it before the season starts.

Falcons have the X-Factor. Don't underestimate them.

With the updates Bort is putting in soon, perhaps some players on the Stingers and Foxes will be penalized?

Nope.

It's going to be for ridiculously high levels.

As of today, I'd expect a player to be 18 or higher for it to have an effect.

I'm going to say you have Alice Springs rated a bit low, but I know what players I still have coming...

I'm sure everyone has a few more tricks up their sleeves, I'll redo the list tomorrow and post it tomorrow night. Hell, boosting by itself will shoot any rankings to shit in a minute.

I had a whole rewrite but lightning knocked out the filter on my DSL line. It won't be fixed until Tuesday. I'm on dial up right now and it sucks, slow as shit. I'll write up some stuff this weekend. Don't worry Alice, I've got you 3rd in my rankings right now. I had some good stuff written but i'll save it for the next time.

Well, after one week, your preseason rankings are accurate. But we'll see after a few more weeks how things are starting to shake out better.

I love Dane Cook, but he doesn't translate well or at least when i try doing his jokes it doesn't. There's a few teams that'll move up depending on when they fill out their rosters. It's Friday, so i'll take a look tonight and post the rankings tomorrow a little bit after the games.
