Discussion 2022: Rookie Discussion

[OnTopBar]

McDonald Sub?

Lynch in to cover for Big Boy?

 

[RIAL]

I seem to be the only one not having Berry in my team.
Kinda makes me nervous

Also don't have Berry.

Only 28% ownership so you are definitely not alone.

Nick Martin a chance to debut for the Dons with Jake Stringer set to miss. Not sold on job security, but he’s rated high internally.

haha, funnily enough was just playing around with this as there's now just an oversupply of "good" rookies in the mids...dropping Touk would hurt short term. Hopefully at least MacDonald gets held back til round 7, but doubt it and he probably deserves to play sooner.

I keep talking about picking a side with every rookie named Round 1.

Too many mid Rookies now and too many $ 200-300k forwards that all could work (or fail).

Cripps & Rowell further complicating things , IF they score well enough they work for the season , if they are scoring "just" always have other things that need fixing

The joy of SC and waiting for Round 1 teams before deciding anything.

Not really much joy in it tbh

The number of round 1 rookies is getting obscene . We really do need some of the better ones to hold back for future downgrades or we may end up with a bunch of non-starters on the bench.
Established wisdom says don't worry, rookies are like LOTR Wizards, let's hope so!

He looked awesome in the pre-season.

Hopefully he dominates and Devon Smith gets dropped for Stringer instead.

 

[AngryAnt]

Still a chance that he's the sub

Show up when you least expect it?

 

[XabiFernando]

Not sure if mentioned - but just solved my "how to get Gov in" problem

Does this thought possibly tie in with his low TOG during the AAMI game, nonetheless, he sure made the most of his on field time?

Elsewhere Spifflicator mentioned however that Xerri has previously debuted so maybe he just doesn't get another mention.

Yeh to me it indicates he's on the fringe and he can play wing or forward so some versatility there for a sub candidate.

He could easily be a straight swap by round 12

 

[XabiFernando]

Mo

Sorry - moreso the potential cap on his scoring now

 

[jobeywatto]

Still a chance that he's the sub

Rutten has said we won't make a debutant the sub so if he's named he'll be playing. Could be the sub any week after that, though.

 

[Socrates2]

The Sub comes out of the emergencies, is that correct?

 

[AngryAnt]

I think you select him if he's named, his scoring potential is there and the price is right, just gotta keep some cash in hand for potential correction if he's out in a couple of weeks.

I haven’t got him either… serious fomo territory Round 1.

Correction trades incoming…
