That's an uninspiring choice. Loophole them? Think about the decisions that led you to this point? Maybe pick Rachele in the end but feel bad about it?
Hmmm yes! You just made me realise something! I can't loophole them because Owens gets locked out tonight. BUT I can move Cogs/Butters into the midfield via MacDonald for this week. Then can field Hayes in the forwards instead of MacDonald!
Thanks haha

Good question.

I can't decide which 3 Rookies to field from:
De Koning, Durdin, MacDonald, Rachele, O'Driscoll, Horne-Francis or Dixon's (42) :unsure:

I've played my Loops, will take Gibcus' 79, but probably will not take Dixon's 42, so now I will need to eliminate 3 Rookies.
MacDonald averaging 43, so I expect he will score around that, so may eliminate him as well.
Horne-Francis (vs CAR) scored 39 to 98 and is averaging 74, so leaning to field him.
So, now I will need to eliminate 2 Rookies.

De Koning (vs FRE, Home) is not a high scorer, a safe 50s.
O'Driscoll (vs GEE, Away) has scored from 42, 49 to 103 & 104, so I don't know what to expect from him.
Playing a good team away, so thinking he will score lower.
Durdin (vs NTH) is a gamble, can expect a score anywhere from 14 to 73. Playing NTH, so probably closer to 73.
Rachele (vs GWS, Home) has scored a 35, 36, 49, 58, 106 & 118, so I have no idea what he will score.
I read that McAdam is influencing Rachele's score. The last 2 games McAdam played, Rachele scored 49 and 35, hmmm.

I think, field: Horne-Francis, Durdin & De Koning
and bench: Dixon, MacDonald, O'Driscoll & Rachele

All suggestions welcomed!

Rosas vs Rachele on field?
Already used fwd loophole on Dixon (42) :(

If I field Rosas, it does mean I can loop Rachele with Horne-Francis at M8 :unsure:

How is everyone ranking this weeks rookies on the bubble?

1. Strnadica $102k (Ruc) - uber cheap, holding down the No1 ruck spot for at least another 2 weeks if not longer
2. Curtis $117k (Fwd) - Slow burner, but looks like he'll play each week and provide donut coverage
3. McComb $102k (Mid) - I have him 3 just because his JS may not be great, scoring wise for $102k he looks pretty good!
4. Dempsey $102k (Fwd) - Poor JS, small fwd with all the usual scoring issues. Not for me
Any others worth a look?
