Opinion 2022: Rookie Roulette
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
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)
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!

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?
