The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

Alright, so McNiece and Black went sub 50, on top of Melican and EVW scoring slightly higher

EVW, Melican and McNiece down back
Black and possibly Parsons up front

What's the verdict guys? I'm not sure I see two "musts" here

[Ringo]

With so many rookies failing this week going to be fun sorting out who to trade.

Black/Parsons the only musts this week imo. Parfitt to Black/Parsons and whoever has the highest B/e of Marchbank, Otten/Newman/Hampton to Hibberd, Think Hibberd is a must this week with a negative B/e should rise substantially

I agree on Hibberd, he is showing that he will score well and should be a lock for a D6 spot at worst.

Hampton is the one i think will be the one to get rid of.
Otten possibly, but likely still have 1 more week given his rolloing average still holds a 100
Parfitt injured and will need to go
Butler will be very close to BE
I held Eddy & Hibberd due to Loopholes..

Does Eddy ever look like coming back?

Does Eddy ever look like coming back?

Scored 155SC this weekend so I hope so, but hard to get in coming off their win

Happy to keep him at F8 still for now

Does Eddy ever look like coming back?

Kicked 5 on the weekend along with 22/23 touches (can't remember exactly how many), so doing his chances no harm.

Interesting few weeks rookies wise. Could break quite a few teams.
People always want to upgrade ASAP, but the rookies this year look like they might make that difficult. This weeks batch looks relatively weak and next week has nothing on offer.

This week we have
FWD
Black - Up and down, might go 40 might go 100 who knows.
Parsons - Does he come straight back in with Parfitt out. I think so.
I really wouldn't want to take more than 1 of these guys, mainly for bye structure. More confident with Parsons and with Parfitt out i think hecomes straight back in.

DEF
Melican - What is his JS like with the amount of Sydney rookies going around
Mcniece - JS could be very poor and scoring isn't great
EVW - Think he probably have solid JS, but scoring will be very poor.
Overall though the rookies in def currently are not maxed and dont think jumping early on any of them for these guys is worth it.

Then next week looks like there could be no rookies on the bubble. So the perfect chance for a upgrade or hold week.

[RaisyDaisy]

Yep, I prefer Parsons over Black tbh, and Parfitt out hopefully helps Parsons

EVW is the only defender I'm considering as I think he has pretty good JS over the other 2

There's every chance we have to sit on our teams for the next couple of weeks after this week

Yeah agree, thats why im thinking Parfitt to Parsons & Otten to Hibberd leaving $400k in the bank to upgrade over the following weeks while others have to bide time.

[Torpedo10]

If Nank is out this week, I really need Preuss to play otherwise my upgrade this week will be to Martin or Grundy rather than my preferred Dusty .  :-\

Parsons is a must if he comes straight back in after the suspension, he looked really good.

[Mat0369]

EVW is a spud. Not touching him when Willow, Hampton, Otten, Marchbank and Newman will give you more points on field with cash to make.

[quinny88]

Myers in the best players again, surely gets a call up?

[Gigantor]

Would love to go Eddy>Black/Parson so I can potentially keep Witts without copping a donut. Eddy dominated on the weekend but looking at Ports team there really isn't anyone he can push out.

Young and DBJ have probably been the weakest players but they arent a like for like swap with Eddy

[sammy123]

i might wait a week on mcniece and see how his 3rd game is projected to go up 40K so still makes him a cheap defender.

scores a 50-65 handy bench option

peoples thoughts?

[Spite]

Berry is only 147k. JS looks decent, any Brissie supporters want to shed some light?
