JOM

[Holz]

There where alot of teams where this selection blew up in their face last season but where we a season too early on this pick.

Jaeger Omeara at the moment is locked firmly in my squad. He killed it in the intra club match with no strapping on his year and is having a far better preseason then last year. He is looking like he will line up in the first JLT game too.

He was handball happy last year but id bank on that being him worried about the knee. He wasn't handball happy when he first entered the league.

At 315k he is just 115k more then the top priced rookies.

Basically im comparing him to

200k rookie + 115k
Lycett/Simpson in the ruck
Seedsman/Braysahw in defence

and to me he just looks like he has a great chance to smash them in scoring.

He's on my watch list but I have my reservations

Might be good to pick if you're also starting Titch just to hedge against

Griff at 277k I see more value in at this stage I think

I must admit i have floated the idea of going both.

Not sure i agree with the Ticth hedge as Titch i think will score no matter what JOM does. If JOM is healthy he will draw attention away from him on the tag and provide a link up player. If he doesnt then we know Titch can score.

He's certainly no Hugh Greenwood.

That 36 touch 89SC game is still at the front of my mind when I think about him.

Doesn't take much to increase that scoring. He was handball happy and coming back from a long break. With more confidence in his body he'll kick more and is showing that break away pace from stoppages.
A 90 avg is still a win over a 65-70 rookie and he's got the ability to go 100+.
He still got it 36 times. Only way is up if he stays on the park.
Better to go for injury risk players than scoring risk players like Brayshaw from the Dees at similar price.
I had him last year but I believe in second chances.

Pros: Great bye, 100+ scoring capability, full preseason with no strapping on his legs, very underpriced.

Cons: Injury history.

When I look at it like that it makes me really want to pick him. Would much prefer him than Brayshaw (Mel) but don't know if I can trust someone like Coffield at D4.

my number 1 key to sucess is always pick the player who the risk is injury over players who the risk is scoring.

I guess the majorly positive note is he pumped out 91 Sc on 25 touches plus 11 marks. Thats a bad SC score but was pretty promising.

He really just needs to turn the kicking around 15 handballs to 7 kicks is really unusual for him. He went 9 handballs to 12 kicks prior to the injury.

Spent a lot of the pre season in my team but have gone off him recently.
Really keen to see him in the JLT though.

I still have nightmares from starting him last season  :'(

If you're not starting JOM you may as well delete your team right now

Why's that?

[SilverLion]

If he get so through the rest of the preseason unscathed and is playing round 1, then I'd love to have him at M7. Rookie situation will also be a factor though.
