2019 Rookies

Could pick up ROB but means I have to grab a forward 460k or less so best options are Buddy Darling Lynch Marshall TMac.
If I grab Stack I have 496k so can pick up pretty much any forward I want apart from Boak and Kelly. So really comes down to picking a worse premium for the rest of the year just to fit ROB or go Stack and get a much better option.

You can't grab both ROB and Stack, build the warchest than grab a prem forward next week? Or are you copping donuts unless you don't bring in a forward this week?

Stack and a much better person would be the obvious option surely?

Marshall still cheap as chips & with a low BE, reckon that's as solid as any move to be honest.

Yeah RD means fielding a donut. Would mean I have Parker Setters and Bines all forward. Still have Toby Greene lol

I agree @MS but will hurt seeing ROB be an awesome cash cow. Not so keen on Marshall as others are. Reckon he will get pantsed by Gawn, 80 average over the next 6 weeks at best

Is Parker confirmed out? If so, I'm in a world of hurt...

Not confirmed but looking more likely than not.

So plan for me will be to hold onto Bines as long as possible & then switch O'Brien to Lycett/Hoff when the time is right. Reckon Hoff will bounce back soon, should be 350k in a few weeks which is worth a punt.

Maybe your circumstances are different or I misunderstood.
Bines never has to be traded out using DPP. Moves to fwds. Trade out others. Trade out cashed up ROB. Move Bines back.

This is the week to grab 2 rookies, because besides Ross next week (Possibly Hately/Hind) there isn't much coming through, so grab the 2 best cows this week. A lot of people grabbing Stack are likely trading Scott or Gibbons to him which is only giving them 45-60k anyway, and ROB should make up the difference over Stack in terms of future gains so it's all relative - grab the two best cows this week of which ROB appears to be #1 on the list, then flip a coin on Hore/Stack depending on your sides needs

How do you know there isn't much coming through? This week's teams haven't even come out yet!

This time last week no-one knew that Rotham, Hore and even ROB would pop up as decent downgrade options, so who is to say more rookies won't pop up out of nowhere this weekend?

Ross looks like a great downgrade option next week and there will likely be another solid rookie downgrade option the week after.

It definitely isn't an essential "double downgrade" week for mine and there is no reason people shouldn't prioritise bringing in Rockliff, Marshall, Mumford types instead before they shoot up in price.

Rocky still with a moderate BE (86) so can wait, Marshall a good option though, you're pretty much getting a 90 average for 400k.
