Number crunching in the rucks!!!

[antonc]

Just had a quick look what your rucks could score this season depending on the combo                         
This is assuming that most people for a prem ruck combo will go sandi and cox                        
   Ruck1   Ruck2         Total cost      Ruck   
Combo1   Prem   prem   Rook    Rook   950K      Weekly av   corrected weekly av
   100   90   40   0         180   170
Combo2   Prem   prem   Rook mpp   Rook   970K         
   100   90   80   0         187   165
Combo3   Prem   Mid (petrie)Mid   Rook   850K         
   100   80   60   0         174   174
                        
                        
Combo 2   Petrie will miss 7 games (I susp 2 byes and 4 for moving to ruck) - missing out on at least 30 (conservative IMO) points for those weeks-have to play rook those weeks
If you have cover that is                  
combo 3   save 120k compared to combo 2   Extra 12 points week (see thread elsewere about value of points) +
                 210 points for 7 games out of forward line
   save 100k compared to combo 1   Extra 10 points week (see thread elsewere about value of points)            
                        
You might say that sandi might score 110+ this season or that petrie won't score as high                         
but it is also possible that your ruck rook won't play at all!!               

You can play with the numbers a bit and that will bring it up and down a bit but best would be either 1 or 3
