That is a hard one until we know which rookie.
Im thinking Thomas but I dont like hinge.

What's wrong with Hinge ? ......IMO could be a good pick, if he plays Wing early

At 180k I don't think he is worth it.
Wings max out at about 90 its not a high scoring role. He wont get 75 imo.

Warm bodies .

Need as many cheapie types as we can get our dirty mits on.

Kemp, Chesser, Boyd, Dean, O’Driscoll all cheaper with a chance of playing.

It's more about getting 65-70+ from your D6 than one that averages sub 50 in the same spot. Want those 20 extra points each round early in the season.

Also about JS.

Totally unsure even if Minge has greater js or not.

I only have 1 rookie on field in defence.
I'm comfortable with that being a cheaper rookie.
I will have a loop set up round 1 with Worner so I don't think it is worth spending 50% more on that rookie spot.

Forget the rookies for a minute ....will your extra DEF's outscore the extra MID's I have in my midfield

Its probably Short I reckon.
IDK who your mid will be.
Short + (Erasmus I'm guessing)
vs
Your mystery mid + Hinge.
Assuming the rest of the team is the same.
Which it wont be. You wont have Tarryn and he will go 105+

I'm sticking with SuperStars down to M5 ......they're being compared to the "Dream Team"

Do It!!!
I suspect defender rookies to be crabs this year like last year.
I only need to find 2 if I take a loop.
If Ansett cup shows 3-4 defender rookies worth taking I will have an experiment with my team and rejig.
I don't see that happening.

Are you planning more GnR this year?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Are you planning more GnR this year?

Last 2 years, more MPM ....had my best years as a GnR side .....so back to that

Reason I'm going heavy in the MID's .....if I lose a SP Mid to Covid / concussion ....I can still scrape thru

If I'm running 3 or 4 MID setup ....surely losing one of your SP's in that situation is much more difficult

Covid risk is the same for every player surely.
Having more money at risk by paying 650k for a mid would be worse IMO.
For example Walsh gets Covid your team losses a 630k player.
Short gets covid for me and I lose 530k + I still have the extra 100k elsewhere in my team. (for example a rookie gets upgraded to Curnow.)
ie less risk because you have not spent all your cash on one uber player.

I don't lose the player, I lose his score ....my point was, If I lose a Macrea or Steele .....where do I have the best opportunity of getting some sort of reasonable round score ?

I'm saying the Mids pose the biggest threat, if I lose one ....having an extra SP Mid IMO helps

I have not seen a 5 premo midfield yet that does not ruin the rest of the team. (it may be possible, who knows?)
You lose a mid and your relying on crabs on every other line.

How dare you ! .....all my team are equals, yes some more than others .....Pretty sure my team in FWD's and DEF's aren't crabs .....look what came out of the woodwork last year in our FWD's

It's a diversion tactic Veiny .....I know you ....you will end up picking Milera

It's in your DNA

I've tried every type of midfield so far this pre season.
From 7 premo mids to 2 premo mids and everything in between.
5 is too many It does not leave enough cash for the rest of the team.
Unless your loading up on Gresham/Milera types expecting massive improvement I cant see how it works.
