Nervous/cold feet about starting Giles as R2. Please reassure me!

I have tried all ruck combinations. Having two premo rucks makes my team look crap. Jacobs-Giles FTW

If I start with Mumford my rookie will be Adam Kennedy. That's not too bad.

imagine the amount of people that will drop Giles and waste a trade if he only scores 30 - 50 his first week...

I fully expect Giles to go bad this week and everyone to jump off him. Mumford will kill him.

That's why I'm starting redden, with giles emergency 8)

clever, i should change that if to a when. I have a strong feeling he will fall apart this week, Mumford too strong.

My only concern with 1-3 strategy is if one of Giles, Redden or Stephenson gets injured before gaining any/much money, and then changing the team around with limited trades and money to play with will be a nightmare. If they all stay healthy, I think Giles will be one of the top scoring rookies and watching him notch nice consistant scores will stuck on the pine would be awful.

It is common sense that a rookie in a midfield or forward position will be scoring more. Maybe i am just pesimistic, but we shall see come tomorrow night.

Ruckmen play all over the ground so they arent far off the midfielders, if they're good enough.
NAB cup scores for rucks were a bit lower than they would be with more boundary throw ins too, so he scored pretty well.
