The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

WHE vs Houston is a tough one, will have to look at BE's.

WHE easy for me

Houston needs to survive Pittard returning, and when Port start losing his 70's and 80's might drop to 60's, but it's the Pittard factor that concerns me most

[Mat0369]

If Houston keeps performing it will allow them to play Hammer in the midfield while not losing the class disposal off HB.

When is Pittard due back?

Was listed as 4 weeks when he went down, so I reckon within the next week or two he'll be back

Will go with WHE then.

They wont drop Houston while he is playing well like this.

Some other spud will make way for Pittard!

Would they drop someone like DBJ or Hombsch first?

Depends what other issues you have...the 100k you'd save may be valuable to you elsewhere

Hombsch is one of their first picked, DBJ probably not, I'd look more towards an Amon and push Broadbent up the field for Pittard.

Who says Port will start losing? #Giveustheflagnow


Houston was 100% superb and it would be terrible if he got dropped for Pittard after that performance. He's earned the right to play for another two weeks at the very least. DBJ wasn't as great, neither was Westhoff (would be brave to drop him though). Amon and Sam Gray maybe on the fringes as well...

Houston and Eddy will be safe for next week, I'm sure of it :)

You've got me thinking, maybe should just bank the extra cash. Only need 3 price rises from Houston to make it more worthwhile than WHE.

You know what would be good, if someone decided to go through and list all the rookies, by position, in some kind of "must get" order (I'll have a go at such a list, gimme 10 minutes). I personally see WHE as the guy that is top of the fwds list for trade-ins if you don't have him :)
