Discussion Rookie Roulette!

[Juzzo]

Anyone think Rivers can beat Williamson's 57?

If I was a betting man, which I am, I would say no on form, but you never know with rooks.

Sturt vs. Curtis Taylor?

Sturt vs. Curtis Taylor?

Hard to say isnt it...I have the same decision to make.

Going with Taylor at this stage. Under the roof at the Dome, seems okay for a 50-60. Sturt back off a second injury in quick succession, has performed at both ends of the rookie spectrum...up against the Cows admittedly so he might see some action up forward...but Taylor just a few more runs on the board I think

 

[Darkie]

Brown. Both were really poor.

Agreed, not much harm done either way. Was hoping Hibberd would play mid but it seemed his role was not as favorable as hoped.

I do, playing him on field so as not to take Williamson’s score. Don’t think there’s a lot in it, but once I saw the 57 I decided I’d roll the dice. I gather Rivers lost 10/15 points late last match from clangers or the like.

Taylor just slightly

Jeez, I forgot, I have that decision too!

Who would you bench out of Taylor, Budarick and K-Pickett?

I'd bench Pickett if I had to bench one of them.

That's a really tough one but prolly KPP

 

[Darkie]

Thanks @Goodie's Guns @Monya Meow Meow - hopefully that’s a good sign, I’ll leave him there!

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Pickett on the bench for me too @Darkie

Taylor easily.

Pickett on the bench for me too @Darkie

Thanks mate, that’s great.

I won’t even mind if he goes big, given I’m a happy owner and I get the sense he’s not that widely held.

Lined up on the wing I think. Hope he holds his spot and just blowing out some cobwebs. Zaka should get the chop before he does.

Agreed ... I was pretty bullish on him in preseason (obviously not alone there), so hopefully he can get a good run at it.

Not sure what is going on with Zaharakis but he’s punching out worse than rookie scores in DT and SC, so surely they give someone else a crack at it.

Stringers injury should also at least help Hibberd hold his spot on a pure numbers in, numbers out basis.
Also, Stringer played quite a lot in the centre square last night. Merrett obviously to come back in, but even he hasn't attended as many CBAs as he has in previous years, might see Hibberd sneak into that midfield rotation?

 

[Herbie66]

Stringer out for up to 3 months
