Im still yet to decide on my R2 after Goldy.

Is Maxy Gawn now a must have? Is getting atleast 40 hit outs a game, while also picking up more than a dozen possessions and is seriously impacting games. 2 scores of 160 in 5 rounds is impressive, and is this something we can come to expect. He could very much be in the same league as goldy by end of the year. Current average is 123 and price is $620,000. Thinking he could go 120-125 for the year.

Next is Stefan Martin who was the 2nd highest priced ruck at the start of the year, he has averaged 110+ for 3 years straight, and is coming off 2 poor games due to concussion which will make him an absolute bargain at around 470 in a few weeks. He should get back to his 110+ average, however will that be enough to consider him over Gawn who could very well go 120+. Also cant see Martin gettin those 160 scores, more 120 is his ceiling due to not many hitouts as he is more a possession ruckman.

Then there is Nic Nat and Blicsavs, who should go around 110 for the year.

Who would you choose?

Mainly considering Gawn cause he could go 120+, or Martin who could go 110+ and pick him up at a serious bargain

Gawn or NN

It will be, but Stef will go 110. Gawn could go 125!

Doesn't matter that much if you have 18 players playing on the other lines ;)

Gawn is bound to have a bad game, and step is due for some super ones considering he was on track when May knocked him out.

Ive got Martin, but the second Gawn has a bad score I'm jumping on.

I agree but Gawn is flying so why not get him - esp if his bye suits better?

You mean swapping Martin for Gawn? Or do you still have a ruck upgrade to do?

Couldn't find a captains thread for this week but with the doggies playing the same time as goldy unless Ryan Davis is named I don't have anyone to Loophole... Assuming Ryan Davis is named and plays is anyone just going to whack the C straight on Goldy Friday night?
