What does this mean for our Rookie list players?


Does this make 'Ambassador of the Year' Shane Valenti particularly hard done by?

I think maybe we should we have waited for this decision to be made since its been in the pipeline since the end of the season.

Still if your definately going to delist someone, no point beating around the bush!

I'd laugh if we used a late pick in the draft to pick him back up lol

I think we may upgrade McKenzie and keep Spencer on the rookie list or we may re-rookie valenti

Thats what I mean..we didn't have to delist him (with the threat of another club rookie listing him)..

I suppose we do get the #1 rookie pick anyway..but it will be interesting to see if he nominates for the draft.

Won't be at all surprised if we re-rookie Nugget again - I definitely wouldn't have delisted him.

GC17 get the first 5 rookie picks this year. We get pick 6.
We have Healey, McKenzie, Hughes and Spencer as rookies, if we keep them all on the rookie list we can select 2 more rookies. Max of 6 per team. If you don't have any veterans you can select 2 more. We do so we can't.

I thought they were introducing two more rookie spots per team. Also even though GC have the first 5 picks in the RD I think if a team is re-rookieing one or more of their players then they can pre-select 1 of them. I've read somewhere that at least 3 rookies have to be turned over off the list each year but I'm not sure if that is right or even workable.
