Kruz V NicNat

[Macquarie]

A know people were talknig up Kruz pre season and after his round one effort fair enough. I went with nicnat as a pod in the ruck and was interested to know what opinions people had on the two. Cant kruz stay up around the 100 mark and could nicnat have the potential to be within ten points of kruz most weeks?

Kruezer every day

Kruz just too difficult a match up for the tigers will avg 85-90.  Think nic nat going to be much more consistent

i was hoping that nicnat might averag 75-90 this year and punch out the occasional ton. Kruz i wasnt sure how much was hype so didnt look too much into him plus that nicnat was going to b a good pod

I can see Kruezer becoming a dominant ruck/tall forward in the next few years in the Paddy Ryder mould. Should average 90 sometime in his career, and I can see him building to that this year. Natanui on the other hand cannot kick for shower and his only purpose is for rucking. Can't see him building upon his current average in the future. Very overrated player.

Not sticking with Kruz is my biggest regret of the season so far. Wasnt no. 1 pick for no reason, will be a jet.

[Macquarie]

if kruz backs up r2 with a good score and nicnat puts up another 70 odd is it worth risking an early trade?

That would explain why he is rucking. Natanui is a gun, he will keep improving and he will be the dominant ruckmen of the competition in a few years.

Agree that Kreuzer will be a better DTer this season than NicNat (by a fair bit, too).  Surely, however, the big Blue should raise his expectations a little higher than replicating Paddy Ryder's recent form...
