Sir Tom "GOAT" Rockliff

How is it a never again list if you're considering them? ;)

Gigantor · March 30, 2019, 08:49:41 PM

Never again is like GOAT, totally overused ;D

All you cows who spoke shower about him before can flower right off tbh

Was feeling tempted by Rocky, but after looking at his score I've reconsidered.

In his two last performances, he has had 44 and 37 touches. Those are clearly out of the box games. I think best case scenario, Rocky regresses to a 28-30 touch average and average 100-105, which I can see the appeal in. But there are too many worst case scenarios for me to take him. Impact of Wines returning, potential forward rotations, injury, tag (we saw tonight it really slowed him).

I think he is worth a punt if you have a midpricer you want to correct this round, say if Libba throws out a stinker, but he is not worth downgrading a premo to.

As someone who started him I'm very happy, but not sure I'd trade to get him in after the fact. Was always thinking I'd have to trade him at some stage, but if he keeps going he'd be a great M8 at the price obviously.

Spent 4 trades on him a couple of years back, so still a bit cut (but not enough to leave him out of my starting team ;D)

Nah yeah i agree. Hasn't even hit 50 touches in a game yet. Must still be playing through injury so I'll stay away for now.

With Oliver rebounding in the best way possible I simply can't get him in, not prepared to sideways Brad Crouch either.

Libba to Rocky is looking like my first correction unless Libba tons up

Do you have Dusty?

I'm sticking with Libba and bumping Dusty to Sir Tom.

Starting to feel the same way too

Congrats to those that started him - hopefully he keeps it up for you, but I think I am going to pass for the same reasons mentioned above - I need to be using my correction trades to fix prem selections, and Rocky has a fair amount of risk compared to some of the other guys I am looking at so I will pass

Nothing screams Supercoach more than trading Rocky in twice in the same season.

Agree, would've been nice to start but don't thibk there is enkugh reward to use a trade now, unless you have someone really stinking it up. I have Cripps , Fyfe, Oliver, Neale, M.Crouch, and it would be a waste to go any of them to him.

You were quite keen on Rocky earlier in this thread weren't you?

Why the change of tune?

Simply because I don't own him. I knew his scoring potential but didn't think he'd start this hot.

I think he pegs back, but jeesh if he continues 105+ it's a huge loss on guys that don't have him.
