Trade Naitanui

[cmc]

Dont know if i should trade Naitanui for Sandilands?

My second ruck is Seaby... So i need more out of my rucks than what ive been getting from Nat and Seaby.

Should i consider bringing in Cox for Seaby... Then i will have an all eagles ruck  ?

Or Ball for Montagna/Harvey ?

wouldn't want to have an eagles ruch would you ?
likely trade should be nic nat - > cox for his price now
and if needed seaby to sandi later when the price and time is right

Get Nic Nat out for Cox and get Seaby out for Sandi. That would be an ideal finishing ruck combo BUT you will need to do some serious cow culling to get there.... who is on your bench? Jordan roughead plays his second game this weekend.

I would not be playing Nic and Cox in the same ruck division.

I've currently got Sandi, Nic Nat, Renouf, and Warnock in my rucks and have been starting Nic Nat all season, but I'm not too happy with him as a starter. Do people feel that upgrading Renouf to Cox after this week and downgrading Warnock once he's peaked would be a good idea? Because if Cox gets injured I could then start Nic Nat who should score highly as a number 1 ruckman. Is it worth getting Cox at all or is Nic Nat good enough from here on in? I feel like Cox has to be bought next week at the latest, or not at all... looks like he's nearly back to peak fitness & form and will start to rise in price again. Cheers.

if you pick up cox then you should get rid of nic nat. just too much money lying on the pine that can be put to better use elsewhere.

there's as much chance of another prem going down as there is for cox, after this week.

I only rate Sandi & Cox as premium ruckmen though. You're right about Nic Nat being alot of cash on the bench, but what about Warnock? He'll be $200k soon I reckon. Wouldn't it be better to have Nic Nat as an emergency than Warnock? Is it wise to make 2 transfers in your ruck anyway, upgrade Renouf to Cox then downgrade Warnock to a 77k ruck who'll barely play?

[elxam]

nic nat - > cox only needs one trade if you have money in the bank
and yes warnock will soon be 200k but nic nat is 270k, and 70k extra can be very handy. the trade off is of course nic nat will the no 1 ruckman if cox gets injured again

[Andrew]

LOL but then I've got Renouf still sitting there! He's the bloody problem... played way too safe in my ruck division at the start when there was no need too. Should've just backed Nic Nat in but thought he could've been in & out of the side like last season. Looks like he's just about guaranteed 22 games now though.
