let's talk about rucks premo vs POD vs under priced

Personally I am at the moment going with the big Canadian, Myke Pyke and the giant from out west, Aaron Sandilands.
I believe Pyke with no Mumford will absolutely thrive and therefore so will his scores IMO. I notice there's alot of talk around the likes of, Hickey, Grundy, NicNat. What's everyone's approach to the rucks this year?

Sandilicky to start off with.

Both Big W and Goldy are too expensive and I only think one of them will be able to match their output from previous years. I don't see either going too huge.

NicNat is not physically 100% and until he's ready I won't be bringing him in.

Cheap and nasty in the rucks to generate cash and then kick em out. Hopefully my stacked DEF, FWD and MID will compensate for this.

At the moment have Mummy and Sandi....but may go cheap with Hickey/Hmac/Sandi before round one, see what happens

I do think Mummy can go 100+ this year though

I'm starting with Leuenberger and Sandilands. After last year, I don't want to be spending over 600k for a ruck, but I really don't want to be playing rucks who I don't think will score premium numbers and are just there to make cash. Leuey I think can average around 100-105, and Sandi will hopefully average around 95 and get to a price where I can straight swap him for someone like NicNat/Goldy/Minson (or need very little cash to do so).

I like mummy aswell. Only concern there is how much of the load will get shared between him and Giles? Could affect scoring potential

Indecision will lead to many of us going cheap in the rucks starting R1..the real winners may be those few people who can pick the right 450-525k ruckman who will go huge this year..i don't have the balls to commit to premium R1 do you?  :o

PS: Too many Mummies Boys in this thread...toughn' up!
