Welcome to this week's Squad to Beat for the GameDay Squad Starter competition. Here's the full 18-man squad, with a quick word on every call, position by position.
Hooker
Grant — the premier hooker, now two games back from his hamstring layoff. He's been building back with a 23 and a 42 since returning, not yet at his best, but he's the best dummy-half going, averaging 51 with a high of 86 and a genuine try threat. Expect him to keep climbing towards his best.
Middle
Haas — no overthinking this one. He's arguably the best middle forward in the game and you pick him on that alone. He's averaging 62 and in fine touch, a 90 two weeks ago and a 61 last week, with the base as reliable as any front-rower. Set and forget.
