Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, but I wanted to knows people's strategy for R1-3. There has been a lot of comment about some of the premos.

- Nicnat: is he injured? That is the million dollar question
- Goldy: hasn't looked great, and will new ruck scoring impact him?
- Mummy: looks awesome, but will his body breakdown? I saw him with ice on leg when he was subbed off last game, not sure if this was just normal for him?
- Minson: on his way out of number 1 ruck duties?
- Maric: talk of him being 'managed' this year?
- Berger: appeared to be behind Martin for #1 ruck duties, but now Martin is injured does that bring him back into contention?
- Belly: Asada a concern, but should score well and make money
- Sandi: can the big man do it again?
- Sauce: awesome year in 2014, but burnt me in 2013. Poor game in NAB plus talk of sharing duties - will this impact output?


I was looking at Goldy/Nicnat/Cox with Belly F4, but I'm now Mummy/Maric/Cox with Belly at F4

Let's start the conversation...

Huttabito

Currently running Maric/NicNat.

Maric will most likely have a rest for a game now and then and NicNat may(?) be out here and there.

Trying to squeeze TBC in the FWD as coverage but between those 3 should be covered every week by at least 2.

Is Sandilands dead or something?

Mummy, NicNat (Phillips)

Was worries about byes but Scrads convinced me otherwise. Being the last bye it shouldn't be too bad since we'll be upgrading through the byes

I've gone Goldy & Nic Nat, thought long and hard about Mummy but was savagely burnt last year when he was a late withdrawl. It's one thing to make changes when the team sheet is out but late outs can be a true killer, particularly when other options are locked. My lesson from last season was grab the player with the best durability, Goldy & Jacobs are the best options where that's concerned. Willing to roll the dice on Nic Nat but I'm particularly nervous about it, he too crucified my 2014 with a late withdrawl.

Heaps of threads and discussion about rucks this year, and rightly so because it's damn tricky

I've had Maric and NicNat with DPP rookie on bench and Bellchambers in forwards for a very long time now, and hoping I will be able to stick with it come rd1

Maric to Mummy is the only change I'm considering

Think Nic Nat is playing this round think I might go with him and who else is up in the air ATM will wait till my team is more certain and see what I have left , rucks are always seem to be a pain in the butt for me  :P

To me he is. Not considering personally. But if you are considering feel free to comment

Will you still pick Belly if he's suspended for 2-3 matches?

Been discussed in the Belly/Luey/Kreuz thread, but yes I'm fairly certain I would if it was 2 weeks. Just bring F7 on to the field, and at this stage with all the depth in the forwards theres every chance F7 would score similar anyway

Nic Nat/Mummy ATM and I really don't like any of the mid pricers.

Goldy/Nat like all preseason, have had Maric for about 40 seconds but that is it.

Was it an enjoyable 40 seconds?
