If you had Bugg or Kennedy as emergencies.....

[FonFatty]

Are you looking at perhaps bringing in a player who isnt going to play rnd 1?
For example for those of you that want Bock in your team now is the time to maybe pull the trigger and you can utilise Buggs score in defence.

[jasonweare]

That's maybe an idea. Birchall to bock could work

[Fletch74]

There is 2 problems with Bock, he ain't playing to Round 3 and he also shares the bye with players like Deledio, Goddard, and Birchall.

I'll be looking for a non playing rookie like Smedts, etc.

I also did this with Giles in the ruck :) So, I need to find a non playing ruck

[jasonweare]

If smedts isn't named, I'll leave him on my field and keep birchall

[ladasp]

um how do you know Smedts is gonna play at all? wouldnt you be better off picking a rook whos gonna play and cop the loss. sorry dont understand the logic in picking anyone whos not gonna get regular games

[Plastic Boy]

Don't make rash calls on 1 round. I had both on the bench but I won't be trading in a rookie who might be dead weight.

[Slashers]

I have Kennedy in FWD as an EMG. Zorko IN could be an idea?

You are going to want all of your rucks playing, its the hardest position to find players

Zorko is my hope too I had kennedy on the bench, problem is i had coniglio and shiel on the field and there is no undoing that !

[sj9177]

Had both playing. along with McDonald - Wicked

Also had Shiel and Coniglio playing - Not so Wicked

[Sundown24]

WHAT A WASTE OF A TRADE!

I guarantee that you'll bring in a rookie you don't truly want (otherwise you would have had them originally), and then sook about it, then there will be another thread, where people trade rookie > rookie for no reason

Don't worry about 1 game on the bench, sounds like everyone else does too, thus we're all even and it will still come down to Captain and the odd POD

[SonsOfZeus]

had shiel and bugg as emerg and played macdonald and giles and devon so not to bad...gonna trade in a non playing rook. there is 300 000 people to beat there needs to be risks tken!!!

[FonFatty]

Kennedy's score will be good to use, but its hard to pick a non playing rookie in the fwd line. I think I will take the loss of points on the chin and look at setting up the best possible starting team.

[charliesheen]

its just 1 round. no dramas.

[itchytradefinger]

Loving the panic. I can't stop laughing.
