Which rookies to promote?
With only 38 senior spots taken out of 40, two rookies are likely to be promoted, and maybe even a third if Gwilt is on Long Term Injury List.
You would think that Archer and Curran would have the front running, b ut our lack of medium forwards may see one of the new boys elevated.
What are your thoughts?

Why make a decision on this now? Let them know that they are going to really "Earn" a spot on the primary list and that none of them will get a spot unless it is warranted and/or required. That should sort out the wheat from the chaff. Any decision should be held off until about 1 week before the season starts !!
NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!
Yes, and there is that thing called the NAB Cup.Eastern wrote:Why make a decision on this now?

However I would say that Ferg and Archer are currently in the lead, followed by Curren.

Hey Barry, It's just that I think we would be in better shape if there isn't a need to promote any Rookies. I know we can promote 2 at any time, but if their isn't a need DON'T promote just for the sake of promoting. It costs too.borderbarry wrote:Err Eastern, I dont believe any of us posters will be makin a decision at all. As can be seen by the drafts, the players we posters wanted were not in the main the players we got. But we can all express our opinions I hope.
My theory is keep them on the rookie list and keep dangling the two spots at them to see who wants it the most !!

Maybe we can rename the thread "Which two Rookies do we think, and hope, will put their hands up for promotion to the Senior List?"Eastern wrote:Hey Barry, It's just that I think we would be in better shape if there isn't a need to promote any Rookies.

I hope Shenton becomes a gem and demands a spot but the big Darch would make a nice story too. He looked good after last years NAB and the fact he looks like Rooey with too many donuts in him helps confuse the opposition.
Hope he splits the packs like a train again and make himself a full back who could hospitalise the Clokes and Rougheads.

can't say I saw many Sandy games this year but those that did say he is going to be a gun.plugger66 wrote:So you havent seen any Sandy games?millarsaint wrote:From what I've seen of Ferg he is miles off.
Even Curren has a long way to go despite physically looking great.
Archer and Saad for me two bobs.

Yeah the Ferganator. Curran hasn't had quite the same buzz but it could be because he isn't a potential KPP.plugger66 wrote:If you are talking Fergo I think and hope you are right.gringo wrote:can't say I saw many Sandy games this year but those that did say he is going to be a gun.plugger66 wrote:So you havent seen any Sandy games?millarsaint wrote:From what I've seen of Ferg he is miles off.
