If Hore not playing this week, I lean strongly to trading him. But my original plan of trading him to LDU I am no longer doing for reasons explained in round 3 trades thread which leaves me just considering Scrimshhaw of the other backline rookies I not started. I never been sold on him as was skeptical of his reasons for not doing any good at Gold Coast. BUT, he has played opening two rounds for Hawks. I am not keen but my mind is still open.
Sell me on him. Is his JS really secure for over a month? I want to try to believe in him making $150K to $200K for me.

Worth flagging that he scored 61 and 36 in the JLT from decent TOG.
Coming into the season I think many saw him as a slow burner with good JS - maybe a bit better than Gibbons, but more required because of a lack of depth in the forward line. I've been pleasantly surprised in rounds one and two, but I'm not sure we should be lifting our expectations significantly.
If I didn't have Parker I would still do the trade you suggested though.

I can’t remember who but it was a WC supporter who mentioned his JS as being very poor (before the game against Freo)
That said the same things were said about Doedee and others and he’s coming off a great game. If you play well you’ll stay in the side and I can’t see any WC defenders injured atm so may just make a spot his own even if it is starting on a bench and having Sheppard or others push up a bit higher.

Yep agree 100%, was covering for Duggan (knee) in his first game, Duggan came back this week so Rotham was dropped but received a reprieve when Jetta was a late out. Not sure what Jetta's issue was, but he'll be straight back in when fit which could be this week.
Our back 6 or 7 of Gov, Barass, Hurn, Cole, Jetta, Duggan and Shepard is very strong... so Rotham will have to settle for filling in for injured players. Also has Premiership defender Will Schofield to compete with for a spot... so Rotham isn't a good pick.
Loved his game though and will get his opportunities in the future.
