Dean Cox or Paddy Ryder as 2nd ruck? Obviously, I already have Sandi as 1st ruck (king of all rucks) and have Petrie in the forward line with J. Tippett in the ruck bench to utilise Petrie's MPP status.

Not to make your decision harder but what about Luenberger????

If its between those 2 I would lean towards Ryder. He can and was trained as a Key position Back, and has shown he can get up forward and be effective.
Cox though is one of the best big guys in the league at finding space and getting posies. As long as he's got his injuries under control.
Maybe look at byes as Cox has both byes earlier than most Rucks. Take ryder to start then trade to Cox after 1st or 2nd bye.
Everyone I've talked to has 2 trades saved for rucks. (injuries and stuff)
