If you had the option between the following backlines what would you go with?
1) Whitfield, Young, Yeo, Budarick, Williams, Coffield (Reid, Schienmaker) $80k in bank
2) Whitfield, Young, Yeo, Williams, Coffield, Curtin (Reid, Schienmaker) $305k in bank
Number 1. Although I was strong consider getting Howes instead of schienmaker
