Hi, am wondering what other people think about a premo ruck vs premo fwd. Was always going to move cox to the rucks but am now not so sure...

Am thinking that the berger may be a better pick up than any of the forwards left. Stokes untrustworthy, cloke has a tricky run, as does lewis & roughy, and nroos knee a concern. Boomer has big scores, but also has a tough run.

Current team:
B: Goddard, Heppell, Gibbs, Hanley, Ellis, Grimes (Terlich, Clisby)
C: Swan, Ablett, Pendles, Barlow, Cotchin, Jack, Beams (Zorko, Carter)
R: Kreuzer Grundy (Blicavs, Rowe)
F: Martin, Cox, Rockliff, Bartel, JJk & Stevie J (Staker, Daniher)

1 trade left, move cox to the rucks or leave him up forward and get in the best ruck - probably berger.
$$$ not an issue.
Am after thoughts... Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Cox to ruck and get Nroo or Harvey would be my choice of trade.

MPA

Thanks fertalong, am a saints supporter (been a long year) so kind of like the nroo trade but have been resisting it to see how he'd pull up from the recent knee knock.

Who are your 2 rucks atm... Cox in ruck is the better option as it allows you to bring in another forward

What do those lines look like at present??

MPA

It'sas above: Kreuzer Grundy (Blicavs, Rowe) with Big Cox up forward.

(I did forget to put Jelwood in my mids but irrelevant for this)

Thanks for the help!

Didn't NRoo have a floating piece of bone in his foot, rather than an injured knee? anyway, he still scored a respectable 89 a week after his injury, so I don't think it's hampering him too much. He is a star, works so hard up the ground for his +6's.

He's had one score under 80 all year, and that was injury affected. I'd bring him in, he won't let you down. :)

Ah, True about foot not knee. Cheers Adamant.
Good advice.
