That's a fast recovery. Thought he was going to be out longer.

And Armstrong could be one for the FWD bench, cheaper than Kako and better JS than your Corey Warner types

tigs2010 could probably expand on the Armstrong prospects

KPF in the worst team is a no from me. Been a rumour Lynch might be injured too so he may be the #1 forward

Didn't have high TOG or score that highly though. Is he a small crumbing forward?

I know everyone says Kako is a slow burn, but he covered the ground well, had great speed and was electric to watch.

Yeah Kako has been on my bench since the praccy just purely he’s got the best JS.

 

[samFFC]

Think we can call Trainor a D6 lock now

Nice!
Could be bench though, yeah?

I’d play him on field considering he’s in defence, I’d probs put Leake on the bench

Can we start Leake? Low TOG, reckon if Briggs didn't die he would have been subbed and then Green returns either next game or one after

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Leake reeks of Jhye Clark 2.0. Gets enough games but regularly gets low TOG and screams sub candidate every game.

 

[dplggr47]

Not many DEF rookie options back there.

Not like we have a heap of choice tbh, unless we go with an Allan despite his crap score in the Eagles praccy

The other option is to field an extra rookie in another spot, like mids or fwds, but in terms of defender rookies, it's limited options.

Then you just have to pick another defender premium or mid pricer. I'm already struggling with the 5 i have, let alone trying to pick a 6th

I'm going to either run 0 on field or Prior but definitely think Allan has gone ahead of Leake for me. Will be a slow burn but only takes one score to kick start cash gen and he seems locked in the team compared to Leake.

 

[Exambolor]

Hopefully we’ll have more rookie confirmation as we go along this week

M Reid, Lindsay, Langford, Boxshall, O’Connell, Hastie, Allan the big watches

FOS, Ashcroft, Davidson you think play for sure

At this stage I'd be surprised if Croft Jr isn't the sub.

Well it’ll be an easy downgrade to a Langford type should be named sub, thankfully the Lions play early

 

[Corkintheocean]

I’m thinking this is a clear sign not to start with him.

To be fair, I’ve been looking for a reason not to, and was rethinking at half time.
But only 29 point second half.

Had plenty of the ball, 27 touches, heaps of CBAs, still didn’t even ton.

He then has two great midfield opponents before the bye.

Priced at 74, how much does he realistically score or make?

I'm keen to fade Perryman now too. No ceiling plus an early bye. Think Freijah can score close to him (80-85) for $130k less and no bye.

Roberts with his +6 pig role might be the better of the 700k guys

Yep, I have Roberts locked in.

 

[Exambolor]

Yep, I have Roberts locked in.

I know it’s possible to have both in your team but both on the same bye + lack of def rookies you can really only pick the one I feel

Probably my biggest 50/50 this week, have Pez but could switch to Roberts.

I also have Friejah too

 

[Exambolor]

Lalor officially available for Thursday, may need to pivot early if there’s a Levi sub worry

 

[Coasters7]

Think we can call Trainor a D6 lock now

Very worried about the amount of Tigers and Blues that are fantasy relevant this year. Potential for a large percentage of some teams to be locked out on Thursday. Don’t reckon I started with any last year

I’ve got four in my team currently

Disagree

Even if you only get 1 rookie to cover Roberts and Perryman, chances are the second one wouldn't be counting towards your best 18 in R3 anyway.

Make it official
