Rockliff was one of the major dissapointments for coaches in 2012 averaging 16 ppg less than his previous season and scoring only 9 tons. He set a high standard after his breakout 2011 season but it was perhaps Lions coach Michael Voss' decision to play him in the forward line rather than on the ball for large portions of the game which hindered his scoring ability rather than his form.
If Rockliff is eligible for forward line selection in 2013 he will quickly become one of the most popular picked players in Supercoach, however as a mid, even at a bargain price he is perhaps to much of a risk.
His 2013 score is a hard one to predict as it will depend highly on what position he plays his football. As a pure mid we can expect a season like 2011 with 110+ avg but with his stints in the forward line continuing that will be greatly reduced.

Predicted avg: 105

[Shihan7]

No way if a pure mid, but he is a lock if DPP.

[Kellogscrunchynut]

Needs to be playing in the mids but also needs to be positioned as a forward to be a good pick.

Yep, hopefully Brissy get Tippett and Rocky can be put back in the Mid's where he belongs.

[Capper]

he would only be under consideration f he does get DPP, which he is a big chance of getting

With the inclusion of martin (over the next 2 days) the lions forwardline should look like this:

Full forwards staker martin bewick
Half forwards Zorko Brown mcgrath

Hopefully rocky is sent free to roam the midfield :) im liking the lions setup and with their increasing improvement players like zorko (if dpp), hanley, Lue and certainly rocky need to be considered

[aces-high]

Forgot to add great write up mate! :)

[Nige]

Like everyone is saying, if he gets made a DPP then he'll be locked in.

[TeeJay]

If he plays mid he wil av 115
