Discussion Rookie Discussion

[Philzsay]

Do you know what is his injury history like? missed end of last year right - was this a one off or does he have a history of the same?

In March '17 of his first preseason he had a back stress fracture that kept him sidelinned for 3 months at the start of his career.

Then in Decemeber '17 he tore a tendon in his ankle.

Last year he had a bakers sist in the back of his knee which was relatively minor.

looks like we will have to pay the extra money for rankine and lukosius AS WELL as Walsh because of the usual forward rookie shortage

Nah, don’t think so.

Setterfield, Drew, Balta, Burgess, Petruccelle and Parker all look likely at this stage.

how many of them have the j/s that the 2 mentioned have? which is the whole point of paying more for them isn't it?

and now we can add king to the list as well now that Thompsons done an acl

Larkey , Hanrahan & Moore all named again so fingers crossed we get at least 2 and preferably 4-5

It’s a guessing game. Who’s to say that Rankine and Lukosius have rock solid JS. They are both kids and one game away from getting dropped just like all the others.

you might be better at looking at blokes like McCarthy , Weideman , Moore , Battle etc etc just in case

as if Gold Coast could afford to drop them to waste away in the neafl sure they won't be "gifted" games but they will come pretty damn close to it

McCarthy's always injured and never scored well Weideman should be good but can't afford at the moment Moore no idea and battle did nothing last week

No worries. Back yourself and pay extra for them if that’s the way you want to go.

I would rather not have to obviously but I really think we will have to have them

oh well instead of a $ 500,000.00 and a rookie go 2 x $ 300,000.00 players eg Daniher & Bailey

heaps of way to structure a side if the rookies are not there

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Meh. He's churning out about a 70 max today.

Carry on

 

[Bomber18]

Any Cats supporters have a strong view on JClark’s JS?

I think he’s competing with guys like Henderson, Tuohy and Bews. Just worried he’s straight out for Tuohy in R2-3 and then Bews or Henderson play ahead of him.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

Is Bailey Scott expected to get gametime for north? He has a strong history of being a ball winner. I saw a small portion of the game yesterday and he looked like a goer. Kicked a nice goal. He's on my mis bench for now.

Burgess just worked his way out of my team.

 

[quite ironic]

Burgess just worked his way out of my team.

Looks like a 30 point scorer, no point really having rookies who play if they don’t generate any cash anyway.

 

[Herbie66]

Burgess just worked his way out of my team.

do we have any viable (cheap) to even sit on our F & D benches ? cash generation could be a major issue
