NRL Rookies 2010

[Jason Maher]

In think Norman would have to be the early favourite if he can keep a lid on it and turn a (largely) brilliant debut into season-long form.

 

[effnic]

Im hopeing des brings up Will Hoppa to replace B. Stewart. He is a freak of a player.

 

[Non Terminator]

Guerra looked decent.
Takairangi could play this weekend, no idea.

 

[abpanther]

I'm pretty sure Sam McKendry is a rookie, maybe played one game last season

 

[Big Pete]

Made his debut in 2008 IIRC which disqualifies him.

 

[Non Terminator]

Yeah, just the three so far, but as Pete said, one in 2008.

 

[BrotherTJ]

look out for a guy at parramatta pele peletelese, if he applies himself he could absolutely destroy

or he could be that sione finefuaki guy from manly..apparently the strongest guy ever

 

[adamkungl]

Rory Kostjasyn

Who is he playing for now? He played for Easts last year iirc, dont remember what grade

 

[typicalfan]

Rory plays for the Storm. Did well last round in the time he got.

 

[Non Terminator]

Adam, pretty sure he played a few for Newtown, but moved to Melbourne/Central Coast Storm, well, saw him play for them last year against Newtown.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Takairangi could play this weekend, no idea.

He made his debut today, along with Andrew Fifita and Jason Shirnak for the Tigers, the latter being called up from the grandstand at the last minute (even borrowing a pair of boots). Trent Hodgkinson made his debut for Manly as well today. Not sure about the Friday/Saturday games, but those 4 all made their debuts this week.

[Dazraider]

Dugan has to be put in as a rookie, even though he played last yr, Idris played the year 2009 before he won rookie of the year award in 2010

You're an idiot.

 

[Dazraider]

Oops I meant Idris playing in 08 and won rookie of the year in 09

 

[Big Pete]

Idris qualified for 2009 rookie of the year since he only played 3 games, one less than the 4 game limit.

Dugan played far more than 4 games.

I wrote a full list of players who made their debut in 2009 who qualify for 2010 rookie of the year in my first post.

 

[skeepe]

Fensom has impressed me the most so far out of all the rookies, but I have been paying closer attention to him than the others.

 

[Big Pete]

Yep, Fensom is right up there for me as well.

Gillett is the other stand out for me, probably one of the only few positives to come out of the Broncos season thus far.

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Fensom has buckley's chance of winning rookie of the year.
Rookie of the year has to play for a Sydney club and has to be a flashy player.
Infact they should rename the award to "Rookie with the most media exposure in the year award"
