The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

*whistles*



Everyone panic researching rookies no doubt  ;)

[RaisyDaisy]

Same as you RD

however only 2 of Otten Stewart Hibberd

Same mids

Same ruck

Same fwd rookies

You have Taranto I'm assuming?

Taranto at M8, but only $200 left in kitty LOL so might drop him down to Florent/SPS but will decide later

Not changing my structure now

Otten, Hibberd and Stewart down back. Will only pick Smith if one of those 3 don't make it

Smith must have dicey JS and is every chance to get dropped within weeks, so D8 at best but I'm hoping the other 3 get up so I can avoid Smith

SPP, Barrett and Parfitt/DPP at M11

Pickett and Eddy up front

Passing on Butler, Mountford etc etc

Are Pickett and Eddy on field for you?

No way - they are my bench cover. Prefer Pickett over Butler due to DPP

Lol how many mid prices do you have? Your forwards seems insanely strong to not have a single rookie on field.

Yeah I'm going with the mid pricers (Ryder/Rough/Nank etc) because I don't rate the rookies. Rookies need to make money and score 60+, and the cheap rookies will score crap and the expensive rookies won't make as much money or will take longer

I'm picking my mid pricers because I'm hoping they become keepers, or easy stepping stones. Just don't like the rookie options and because I don't rate many of the prem forwards too this works out well for me

Still thinking about taking EVW and using him to loophole.  Mainly because I don't want to take Strnadica (prefer Cameron) but still want to loophole.

Would not recommend, but if you have to then M11 is the place to do it

Risky move IMO. Every year some of the rookies we tend to think will "score crap" end up delivering something worthwhile.

Relton!!!!!!!

[hawkboy80]

So who's picking Pickett and or Butler?

Who's fielding either?

Pickett f7,
Butler = pass

[aussied]

Not so much rookie but Geroge-H-Smith named on ball for the cats....? interesting :)

[Mat0369]

I don't think Turner is going to make the cut

[MontyJnr]

I don't think Turner is going to make the cut

I think he will play ahead of Clarke

[RaisyDaisy]

Hannan getting named was the only real surprise

Just one last decision for me I think

Ottten + one of Ainsworth, SPS, Foote, Bowes or Florent

OR

Joel Smith + Taranto

Thoughts?

Leaning towards Otten (who I could then relace with Smith if he misses) and probably Florent just because he is cheaper and has DPP
