Not hearing alot about this guys fitness at the moment, which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing... We've heard he had a back complaint and he will play in the last NAB game but there's also been word that his groin has flared up again.

How confident are you in picking this guy? I had him and Goldy locked, but maybe a downgrade to Belly is on the cards, and then wait to see which Rucks are dominant?

[Hawker_08]

Still have him in there. If fit will go bang and ave 115 imo

[BigMac_93]

I still have him locked in with Mumford, but have Belly as cover in the fwd line should he get injured. My confidence in him is not great though. Howver he should play NAB 3 according to the club.

I must admit I'm getting a bit concerned. If they are worried about his back on a long flight, then what about when the season starts? Will he be managed and miss some away games? Hopefully it was just precaution and it is only a NAB cup after all, and hopefully he comes out and smashes it in NAB 3.

I picked him last year from the start, expecting him to come good. I'm still burnt!

Mentioned on BF WCE injuries thread he has had a 'serious-ish' groin issue a couple of weeks back;

Simpson basically said there is no point flying him over for a NAB match

He has completed a full pre-season, and has only missed 2 NAB matches now because of a back complaint, or so they say

As long as he lines up rd1, I'm sticking by him

I've switched him out for Mummy at this stage.

Not necessary just the question marks over his fitness (which don't seem too serious), but more as a POD.

[PiPies]

Had him in my early team but looking for a set and forget ruck combo this year. Was happy to have him if he's fit but back complaints already has ruled him out for me as I'm starting with no ruck coverage.

[shaker]

Had him in my team since it opened but to be honest my rucks are the only line where any ruckman could end up in my team .

[Ricochet]

Not too concerned, but really need him to play in NAB 3

[swans15]

if he was to be out would a downgrade or upgrade be the better option. Already got Goldy as r1

Have has him and Mummy since day 1. Up until last week when I traded him out for Goldy. If he plays Rd.1 then I'll bring him back.   :)
