Which pairing...

[ShaynoB]

People thoughts on what pair may b the better pick. I know all 4 have big ? marks over their heads but i feel Duffield could become a keeper again this year.

Duffield & Giles/Stephenson

or

Marty Clarke & HMac.

Thoughts?

Clarke and hmac.

I'm definitely a fan of 2 premium and 2Rooks for the rucks, considering that your not going with this strategy i see more value in starting Giles/Stephenson over Hmac.

With option 1 you will only need to upgrade Giles/Stephenson to a Premium, with option 2 both Clarke and Hmac will need to be upgraded.

I've personally have Duffield in my team expecting some improvement from him this year. I would personally be trying to find room for Marty Clarke if hes selected round 1, should average around 70 which would be great value for your 7th denfender.

Yeah i echo ur thoughts!! I would like to think that Duffield will avg more than 70 this year, hopefully 80+ which i can handle as a 7th def.

I want to start to gun rucks but cant decide on which 1 and with just having a rookie the team does look so much stronger

I like Duffield this season, I think if Freo don't have an injury crisis again he will improve his average from last season.

However, Clarke is also a good pickup if he slots into Neon Leon's role.

I don't think Hmac is a good idea yet though - I'm not sure how North will fit him in with Goldy. Teams are keen on using two ruckmen with the sub rule and Petrie is the perfect chop out for Goldy.

So the first combo.

Option 2.

Not a big fan of Duffers, but don't really like HamMac over the opportunity of Giles or Stepho.
