The Playing Rookies Thread 2017 Edition

I wouldn't be surprised if both GC and Port take 'lesser' teams over to China. Eade has already come out and said that anyone with asthma won't play. I think this might open the door for Eddy.

Don't think either team can afford to be doing that. It's a must win for both teams and they both have a bye to follow so would expect them to both go at full strength

What if some of the players don't have passports? :P Hypothetically a guy like Houston may not have expected to be picked for this game until he got selected for Rd 1, too late to get a passport at that stage.

Would be kinda funny if someone this week wasn't going to play because they had no passport.

I'm gonna claim this and say he wasn't named because he has no passport even though it's probably not true :P

Pretty sure as the club knew they were playing in China for a long time they would not just leave it up to the players to sort out who did and did not have passports think they would of covered all bases  :)

O'Connor is listed as a backman would be replacing Henderson ?

Been playing midfield/wing. Article says he's been bought for his midfield pace.

Positions for fantasy don't mean squat for rookies half the time. Houston (FWD) been playing defence, Hardwick (FWD) also been playing defence...

Worth taking a punt on Mutley Mutimer?

Don't know a flowering thing about the bloke but downgrade options are grim this week.  :-\
