Will Beams and Zorko negatively affect Rockliff's scoring?

Just as the title suggests.

Quite hard to tell actually as I am not sure which games players were injured or not.

Without actually doing anything numerical it appears Rocky scores better with either Beams or Zorko playing, but the sample size is too small to actually making proper judgment with the three of them on field.

Picking Rockliff is always a risk with his injury history, but that scoring potential always outweighs the risks imo

Would like to hear people's thoughts or if there are any other factors that should be considered.

If beams is up and running, he is more likely to get the tag than Rocky i would think.

But with beams running through the mids, I cant see rocky racking up as many 150+ games as we are used to

If you look at the 7 games the played together in 2015 Beams  outscored Rocky in 5. I am discounting Rd 5 for Rocky.
Just remember in Rockys strong finish to the season Beams was not playing. Too lazy to do the full analysis for AF but when I did for SC Rocky was averaging 20ppg less than Beams for the times they played together without injury intervening.
i think Beams effects Rocky more than Zorko.
Rich will always wear the first tag because of his lethal boot and then Beams/Rocky will be next.
