Which rookies from your club do you seriously believe will get some (not just one) starts (not just bench) in 2018 and why? Explain why they'll get a start over exisiting incumbents in the side?
Go
Go
Since Croft is ineligible, for the Storm I’ll go with Brandon Smith (pretty sure he still qualifies), I hope Bellamy puts him on the bench. Tui Kamikamica is another I would like to see given a decent run in first grade
Victor Radley - in his 3 appearances last season he showed a lot of promise. If Robinson chooses to play with 2 hookers Radley will be dynamic in the 15-20min spell he gets on. Play similar role and style to Damian Cook at the Rabbitohs.
For the Titans:
Alexander Brimson (19) - half/fullback, I hope he gets a go at being our fullback this year, he's fast, agile and has good ball playing skills, however he is small so might struggle under the high ball. At the moment we don't have a full back so I hope he's in there.
Phillip Sami (20) - centre, played a couple of matches last year. He's pretty quick and a strong runner and really impressed in his games last year. We're very thin in the outside backs and I imagine if he's not one of our regular starters he'll be one of the first picked when there's injuries.
Keegan Hipgrave (20) - played the last game of the season last year against the roosters and was the hardest running forward of the game by far. Very aggressive with alot of power, and reminded me alot of Greg Bird (hasn't glassed his wife yet though). I think he'll be pushing for a starting bench spot and I hope he gets it.
i guess josh cleeland for us since he hasn't played 1st grade yet
but is he a serious threat to knock off friend from starting role this season....i don't think so.
Not many other rookies within the Roosters camp I can see making a big influence in first grade...
if a back spot opens up i'd say carlin anderson for us. Would be a regular first grader already if his jaw hadn't spent the majority of the last 2 years in a few pieces
Yeah I think we'll get Gordon and Brimson won't play much of a role this year but you never know.if gordon signs, fb is locked down the only vacancy will be on the opposite wing to don. centres are locked down as hurrell and copley and if they get BJ hoffman or other, copley will be next in depth chart.
there's too many ahead of hipgrave already imo for titans props stocks...wallace latu boyle and king.
the only rookie i think will get significant minutes will be jai arrow due to vacancy in the lock position.
