2018 rookies

[Ricochet]

Naughton went 74 and 63 in JLT, with a good DT:SC ratio. I'd hold him mate, you won't lose out much on Doedoo's score

Compared to Bonner and a chunk of change though?

Do you already have a non playing rookie? If so then no
If not, then I'd look at Watson over Cole personally. But Eagles boys will know more

Nup. Would rather grab as  many guys playing this week as possible. It would basically be to loophole Doedee this week and hopefully play next week. I keep reading Cole is only missing because of his dad passing so he looks like an ideal candidate to grab. He was averaging more in the PPM department (although barely) compared to Bonner and at 80k less I'm thinking it might be worth the punt. Looking at the team sheets it looks like the Eagles back 6 is pretty settled. I guess it depends on what they want to do with Yeo and Duggan.

I'd expect Cole to come in soon, and he would definitely be ahead of Watson (Although I'd love to see Watson get a run)

If Doedee went 100+ I'd do it, but not for 87

There's every chance the rookie you field might go 70 anyway, so it's not a major loss - and Cole isn't a lock to return next week by any means

[PowerBug]

Geez he only scored 86, it’s round 1, and we started other guys ahead of him for a reason ::)

Everyone take a chill and stop tinkering, it’ll only do harm at this point.

This is the only thing that has me hesitant. If he was named this week I would have picked him over Bonner and pocketed close to 87k. The reason he is actually in my team right now is because Coffield and Cole both weren't named. You're right, Bonner could go 70 this week and I lose 17ish points which isn't huge. The thing I'm thinking is that 87k and extra 17 points could be pretty handy down the track. I wouldn't be doing it if I had Naughton and co. It's too sideways for me.

Clark v Stephensen v Barry. Whose JS is best?

Clark v Stephensen v Barry. Whose JS is best?

Looking at the teams I'd say Stephenson or Barry. Didn't the Saints leave out Dunstan and Weller? Both could put pressure on Clark. Port looks really close to best 22 and I don't think Gray replaces Barry. Pies need guys that can actually kick the ball and I'd say Crocker loses his spot before Stephenson.

Keeffe, Watson or O’connor for the last defender who isn’t playing?

Ryder going down with an achilles might mean Frampton becomes a must-have.

I thought howard was there 2nd ruck

[Mat0369]

Howard is playing in defense. To he honest I think they just go with Dixon/Hoff next week and play Marshall (who looked pretty good) and Watts forward. Gray comes in for Ryder and they're set until he is back.

They could bring in Hombsch for Ryder allowing Dougal to play in the ruck.

Absolutely stoked with Holman, especially since he's covering Danger this week 8)
