please pick Cotchin REB!!!
i'm having trouble with the rookies and unlike in past seasons i have found myself drawn towards some bottom priced guys returning from injury... i usually go with premiums and rookies with half a mil in the bank for justin but i havent found enough solid rookies yet so i've got Rohan, Suckling, LRT, Higgins (yes Shaun Higgins), Watson, Sandi and X Ellis. i've also got D Beams who is under $500K which should rise quickly
i know what will happen though, i'll get all trigger happy during the partial lockout and my eyes will light up when a certain rookie gets a game and i'll be chucking out some of these guys in favour of them... the fun of it!
Wish I could have both but can't really afford it. I think you need room to move in the mids this year. LRT is an interesting one he's had a chequered history with injury but I'm not all that sold on his scoring ceiling and hence Mooing potential. Most will have Suckling, Sandi, Ellis and D Beams. I thought C Beams might be worth a look for the Brions but he got injured so if he's in your squad hit the T button boyos.
Despite the overal scoring of Watson I've never been keen on him as he gets 160 one week and 60 the next. For Jobe's price you'd be wanting a bit more consistency for mine. Shaun Higgins is having a big pre-season you say? Stiff shit the guy is made out of Balsa Wood and he'll break down as sure as shit, it's just a matter of when not if and is he really the gun scorer that he is often made out to be? A poor man's Cyril but with less durability and nowhere near the scoring power.
Rohan is an interesting one but as an outside player I might stay clear. I've spend up on forwards so there isn't really room for him in my squad.
