Clubs have previous testing results from past seasons, early this season, maybe some mid year testing.
So I can't imagine the combine will make much of a difference for many.
More from a personality standpoint, that's what clubs will be more so finding out would be my best guess, both in their participation and interviews with clubs, and even then they will have seen many of these footballers earlier in the season or even in the preseason for interviews, and will have done their background checks.
So I'd be hoping not too many clubs will be changing their draft boards, or I'd suggest they have come into the combine inadequately prepaired.
As for whether I've changed my opinion as a result of the combine? I generally just flip players around as I find our more information or draw more conclusions about various players. These past few seasons I haven't been influenced by the results from the combine unless they've grown (vertically) over the course of the year quite rapidly or their testing in addition to their production is greatly improved. So I'd look at it more from an improvement standpoint and consider that element only, unless I just didn't have any testing information about a particular player and I'm for the first time absorbing that and relating that to their on-field game.
I was watching TAC Cup Future Stars and saw that Darcy Tucker was rated highly and Rebels doing very well this season and thinking any chance can go higher this season
Rate him high enough or still have Parish as you top non academy mid? I just want to see which mid is the total package that can win the ball and be damaging by foot and also can impact on the scoreboard and not sure is Parish is that complete mid from reports I've been reading
