Default Are two Cornes too many?

Hi all

After some mucking around, I've managed to get both Cornes in the one team without, I think, compromising much elsewhere. At the end of the DT season last year, I had both players and it was working pretty well!

I wanted to get your views on the value of this investment. While I'm obviously not expecting them to have huge increases in value, if they keep performing well with good scores and maitain their current value (and play the whole season) I think I'll come out of this well.

The other alternative is to look at trading Kane for someone like Nathan Foley (who performed well last year) and spend the $100k+ in savings on upgrading my forward line a bit (change Harding?).

I've listed my current team below for context. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
LG

2 Cornes is never too many.
1-2 Cornes is essential
0 Cornes is almost disaster!

If there were 5 Cornes brothers they'd all be considered for selection

In the end I went with the two Cornes combo and am happy with the results after Round 1!

Had Chad as Captain.
