Rookie S14 players to watch in 2009
Brumbies: Lealifano
Force: JOC, Wykes and Pocock
Reds: Lucas, Cooper and Davies or Toua(whoever gets chosen for fullback)
Waratahs: Kepu, Beale and Turner
some of them aren't really rookies anymore, but im using the theory that they are still early in there careers with so much development ahead they are practically rookies.
either you are a rookie or you are not.Like being almost unique really
I think Dane H-P should be in there for the Force too. Pocock's a pretty accomplished player and has definately made his mark (therefore not so much of a rookie), I think next year he will continue to grow, but Dane will too and I think a few more games next season will see him put his stamp on the game. So I say swap Pocock for Dane H-P.
hockings for the force?
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

I think the spring tour will make the difference to Pococks rookie status one way or another...
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
For me : Force - JO'C, Hockings, Valentine, Cummins
NSW - Tahu, Nasiganiyavi, Horne
Reds - Lucas, S. Faingaa, Davies
ACT - T. Smith, Kimlin, Toomua
Valentine's a rookie? You know he's got 50 odd Super Caps and 4 Wallaby caps right?
I'll be keenly watching Tahu, Ratu, Horne, Kepu, Kimlin, Lucas, Davies, JOC and Faingaa
ok going for real rookies then(12 games or less)
Reds - Davies, S.Faingaa, Toua
Tahs - Tahu, Nasiganiyavi, Horne
Force - Cummins, DHP, Hockings
ACT - Holmes, Kimlin, Toomua
Valentine isn't a rookie, granted he is a new player at the Force but he should bring a bit of expieriance to the team and should slot in quite easily, definately none of Henjaks mistakes from season 1 of the Force

"Remember lads, rugby is a team game; all 14 of you make sure you pass the ball to Giteau."
I dont see Dane getting a game next year if we have a full uninjured team.
You get Mitchell, Sare and Cummins on the wings, and if Peter Playford does sign, another one to come. Dane would be pretty fortunate to get a game next year.
I would add Hockings to the list. He's an amazing player and will be getting a call up to wallabies in a couple of years.
