I'd try something like 3B, 1T, 2C, 6L, 4RR, FF6 or maybe drop 1 Catcher for another Linetart and bump the FF to 8. Apoth first purchase.
80k for a TRR is still the cheapest way to get it after the season has started. I'd go for 4 Blitzers right away too.

So you could fork out 80k for the RR or 90K for the Blitzer. Assuming you buy them at the same time, you're effectively getting a linewoman for 10K at the cost of one less player without Block for (assuming apoth first) 3-4 games. That extra TRR twice per game over that same period is more useful and versatile IMO. 3 Blodge players are plenty.

I think it depends on how long your league will run...
I think it is really difficult with 200 TR-teams to win with Amazons. (unless you rolled stat-increases a lot)
If your wins from the start still count by then, i would take as many blodge players as possible as it will win you your first 2/3 games, before other teams are getting skills.

I'll try and get LF to bring his camera round over this weekend, it's much easier in natural light. Finished my new Griff as well, so some pics are in order anyway.

For a one off season, take four re-rolls and spread out the position players with 2 of each. But long term here is what I took for a team:

4 blitzers
2 catchers
5 linewomen
3 re-rolls
8 ff
1 apothecary

For this team throwers are a waste. Skill up your positional players first. Don't waste your apothecary on linewomen. The 8 FF will help cover losses.
