Thanks Herbie, that's quite insightful.
I ended up heavy in the mids because of the Danger > Titch move, that'll be rectified by bringing in a Fwd for Gaff as I'm heavy with rookies on field there.
After 2 trades this week I'll have the following rookies:
Def------J Clark (not tech. a rookie) Highmore, Kosi & Sharp
Mid------Gulden, JordOn, Powell, Berry & McNeil
Ruc------Flynn, Meek, Hunter
Fwd------Campbell, Rowe, Brockman, Fullarton, Scott
By the looks of things Gulden, Campbell, Flynn and Jordan could each make 300-350k (probs a bit high)
Powell, Berry & Meek 250k
Highmore & Kosi 200k
Brockman & Clark 150k
It would be a bonus if the others hung around long enough to make any $
Obviously my price assumptions are speculative and might not meet my lofty expectations. With a bit of luck there's 4 one up/one down trades there already and I'm hoping that other rookies will present themselves throughout the year, after last years hit to the junior ranks I would expect that quite a few will take a while to get up to speed, Phillips being a prime example.
Edit......The rucks for me rely on CCJ and Treacy (was hoping Fullarton too) getting games long enough for some cash gen. allowing only 2 trades to upgrade (with a wad of cash ITB)

I haven't looked at price projections yet , so hopefully your projections are spot on as I own most of them.
I missed Brockman as well , looked like he had a complete score reversal from Round 1 so will be interesting to see how he performs in future games.
One year I will just start all the Rookies named Round 1 for a bit of fun 😀
