Give 16 to our last pick in the rookie draft

 

[MrPremiership]

Give 16 to our last pick in the rookie draft

We don't do that.

New players and upgraders get first choice at lower numbers, then draftees (ND and RD) get the balance of numbers pending where they were taking in the draft.

 

[Coathanger]

It's called sarcasm.......

Phillips 16 if we get him across the line?

Surely James Cousins

has done enough to earn a lower number too.

Don't mind the idea of Moore in 28.

Hartigan 12 if it's not given to Day for the obvious reasons?

From memory, Cousins has been offered lower numbers in the past and knocked them back

Either loves 46 or waiting for a particular number

I think with list reductions some of the players who are wearing numbers in the 40s may have to change this year or next year.

[TylerDurden]

Phillips 16 pls.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Can we please get Phillips to embrace the number 65 as a reminder to him and his ex club of how low they valued him, add some fire in the belly each time he puts it on.

 

[jameses]

Phillips 16 pls.

Why? Don't want to encourage direct comparisons to Smith. Let him be his own player.

 

[MrPremiership]

Why? Don't want to encourage direct comparisons to Smith. Let him be his own player.

The comparisons have already come, and they will always be there, irrespective on his number.

33 - Pepper

**********Pending and DFAs

 

[caseman2]

Take 2.

Leave Day in 30 until 9 becomes available in 2022

9 - Day (2022)
12 - Morris (prev 35)
13 - Cousins (prev 46)
16 - Phillips
24 - Greaves (prev 44)
28 - Moore (didn't Sammy Mitchell have 36 and 28 as his first 2 numbers before moving to 5?)
31 - Hartigan (follow previous mature aged recruits Dew and Henderson)
33 - Brockman
35 - Grainger-Barras (same number as Roughy started in)
36 - Downie
37 - Mitchell
38 - Brooksby (prev 47)

 

[jameses]

The comparisons have already come, and they will always be there, irrespective on his number.

I just don’t like the idea of reserving particular numbers for a specific position.

 

[TylerDurden]

I don't mind 33 for DGB. Just give it to the best player.

12 for Day is locked i reckon.

Denver Grainger-Barras
Seamus Mitchell
Connor Downie
Tyler Brockman
Jack Saunders

Hartigan likely to wear number 12 and DGB 13. I would like to see Day get 16 and Greaves 24.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I like 33 being for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander players. Brockman for mine.

 

[Todman]

12 - Day
13 - Cousins
16 - Phillips
24 - Grainger-Barras
28 - Moore
30 - Greaves
31 - Hartigan (follow previous mature aged recruits Dew and Henderson)
33 - Brockman
35 - Morris
36 - "It's jinxed"
37 - Downie
38 - Mitchell
40 - Brooksby
44 - Saunders

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Day gets 12. Number his grand dad wore.

Day will take 12. Nothing surer.

I don't mind 33 for DGB. Just give it to the best player.

12 for Day is locked i reckon.

Looking forward to next weeks update on Day's potential number!

I agree FWIW.

 

[arupist]

12 - Day
13 - Cousins
16 - Phillips
24 - Grainger-Barras
28 - Moore
30 - Greaves
31 - Hartigan (follow previous mature aged recruits Dew and Henderson)
33 - Brockman
35 - Morris
36 - "It's jinxed"
37 - Downie
38 - Mitchell
40 - Brooksby
44 - Saunders

Just don't give 36 to Downie or DGB. Unfortunately the club doesn't put much stock in the jinx.

 

[cryptor]

Looking forward to next weeks update on Day's potential number!

I agree FWIW.

Stratton mentored Day closely this year. Stratton has now retired. Day also played in the back line. He's getting 24 I reckon.

 

[Bugs1977]

Just don't give 36 to Downie or DGB. Unfortunately the club doesn't put much stock in the jinx.

36 is a worry because that is the number DGB is wearing in all his highlights. Might just be worth just letting Moore keep it
