Big wartch in Sinn, Soligo my biggest watch is on Rachele if he looks good I may downgrade Rayner to him.
Rachele looks brilliant. Could score well enough as a forward despite high price tag.
Hinge also looks the goods, strong overhead.
Ward and Gibcus before and now Hinge and Rachele.
These expensive rookies are murdering my structure.
Throw in Berry, Cogs, JHF and Daicos, makes it tricky to lock in 12 safe premiums for sure.
Agreed GD.
Started with 5 premium midfielders a few weeks ago with mildly risky forward and back structure and lot of low priced rookies.
Now moved to fully loaded backline, 4/4/2/3 structure with 8 x $140k rookies and a couple low mid prices (Berry, Cogs).
Ward looks the goods (in full knowledge that Mitchell will absorb some points), as does Rachelle so far.
Round 1 selection for the rookies will ultimately decide the final structure- hopefully a cheap one or two emerge.
Yep- And Sinn didn’t get any game time first quarter. Always a worry with a couple to come back.
Hopefully comes on and blitzes!
Robbie Gray has right hamstring iced.

ROB tempting me to get slutty at R2…
Played injured most of last year, said he wants to recapture his floating back and intercepting dimension to his game – looks to be doing that. Great presence across the ground.
Very tempting Gunboat
it would mean I could upgrade Berry to Cripps at M5. Not sure if it’s a risk worth taking
GD, he could be one of those sub uber players we may have to chose due to lack of cheap rookies, in order to get the next level up rookies.
Yeah, Wighty. That’s what I’m thinking. Hmm.
He would have to replace Grundy or Nicnat….I’m playing around with a downgrade on each line to get these dearer rookies…..Oliver to Brayshaw etc….
English didn’t entice you?
Sinn on.
I really need him to cement a spot in the team as my rookie defenders are becoming a shambles. With W.Kelly, N.O’Driscoll named as emergencies for tomorrow and Dean injured.
Sounds like something wighty would say!
Laird rooms with wrist.
Rory Laird has been ruled out from the remainder of the game with a hand injury. Luke Pedlar has replaced him.
Yep. Cheers, CT.
First word from commentators was wrist. It is indeed a hand injury.
Hinge hurt his shoulder again????
Mead and Sinn AWOL, the rookies are cooked this year
Sinn looks good in the fourth quarter.
Sorry, third quarter.
Anyone watching game to tell me how Hayes looks in ruck? Still tossing up between him and Comben
I’m not watching super closely but Hayes looks like he won’t play with Lycett.
Yeah, Hayes is a traditional #1 ruckman. Doesn’t have a forward side to his game, so they can’t run a 1-2 come H&A.
He’d need Lycett to get injured or force him out on form.
Thanks guys appreciate the feedback
Jack Hayes more than him. But I’m looking at Hugh Dixon who is now named as a 102k f/r and Charlie Comben handcuffed in R2/F7.
Especially Jack Hayes, spreading rucks over the 3 bye rounds.
But it’s a long time to carry two rookie rucks you should have cashed in well before then.
Hmm. If you take English at R2 or in the Fwds that might get you through the ruck bye in style. Starting English as R2 and moving him forward later seems promising. I don’t know how much he’s going to lose you points wise as a forward. Stef Martin is looking pretty cooked.
3 goals and 9 tackles!! Rachele you and I are going to make some sweet coin together! HAHA
