Position 2021 Rookies

[Gold Rocks]

We have had a bit of carnage this year and every time I went to trade Highmore I looked at his BE and had other holes to fill so he just sat on my bench honestly!

Back in this week and imagine a 100+ score!

100 be nice. Looping Highmore hoping I don't have to field Parks again because Ryan is a soft kent.

So don't worry about trading in Highmore?

Spewin there’s not a player called ‘into the blue’.

or Sin City........

I'm not sure he'll get many games. Took him forever to get back in. RCD and Poulter are safer picks imo.

* you supercoach im going to play uno next year as i just keep getting injuries to premiums

If you didn’t start with him and held him that is a negative.

 

[Rayzorwire]

Go back a few pages and have a read, then tell me coz I'm f’ed if I know.

 

[Jiska]

Get on Byrnes boiz. Last warning

 

[SC fish]

How did Highmore go last night? Likely to keep his spot for a few weeks?

 

[Andrew Birch]

Ralphsmith debuting finally - sorry if I missed it already mentioned.

He'll probably play as a high HFF linking up, running player who has a raking long kick...and a bit of mullet potential never hurts...

I know looks can be deceiving but he looks like a kent that can football.

Doubt it. Had * all game time, no doubt Ratts will blame him for the loss and all other bad things in the universe, and we’ll never see him again

Not great, but I thought he was better than Webster

Looks pretty confident in the air - had a couple of intercept marks spoiled away from him by his own teammates. Thought he was pretty fumbly at ground level and rushed a couple of handballs under pressure, not surprisingly for a kid that's played 3 games.

In isolation their backline held up okay - 2 goals to Hawkins and 1 to Cameron and only 68 points conceded suggests they did something right but who knows with Ratts. It's not a "winning formula" because they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn door at the other end so I wouldn't be confident saying he's safe

Their backline didn't cost them the game.

 

[stevebbb]

Brockman and Macrae might be the subs. Might absolutely destroy any chance of making decent money if they come on very late

 

[Loose at HB]

That's what I was implying. My reference was to Ratten saying he was "reluctant to change a winning formula" after they beat the Suns despite Highmore going gangbusters in the 2s that same week - although their backline was solid they didn't win at the end of the day so I don't trust Ratts not to make changes

 

[zoomba23]

Does Ratten realise that though

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Does Ratten realise that though

Ratten should drop all his s**t truck forwards who were missing simple shots. Leave SP Highmore alone.

He realistically only needs to play another 2-3 and he'll be ripe to trade.

I've been thinking about this with Brockman tbh - I think he has sweet * all cash to make whether he comes back in or not. Small forward in a bottom 6 side who has already put up 2 scores in the 20s with a BE of 30. At best he's another Jimmy Rowe so he makes like, what, another 60k? I think I'm just going to trade him out

I traded him out this week. Kept Berry who is a potato, but at least he's playing.

+1 here as well

Macrae and Poulter to be my two DPP FWD / MID players

Yeah I was going to trade McCreery to RCD but I think it's going to end up being Brockman. Again, he's a bit of a potato scoring wise but Bucks seems to love him and at least he's playing. Made the mistake where I traded the rookie I knew was playing when Aquaman was on the bubble and that's lost me like 150k of cash gen, not doing that twice

Fact that Highmore started pretty much every quarter on the bench and had the lowest TOG of any Saints player who played the whole game doesn't fill me with confidence. Think he's a better player than Joyce, who probably went out for him, but don't trust Ratten at all. Fingers crossed he stays in for the next couple

I'm not doing my second trade until after I've seen what Kosi (E) and Grundy (VC) score, so I'm stuck with Brockman for this week at M11

 

[Northernsoul74]

Highmore's 47 is awkward - can Kosi outscore that against Norf

Anything under 50 is probably worth rolling the dice.

 

[SC fish]

Field DRobertson or RCD today?
