gawn and nank locked for me. Nank is the pefect fit for us at Richmond. He's a presence and will average 85+ cant see Hampson playing. Maric will be in the 2's all year. A big guy that tackles and can mark are rare. Reminds me of big boy mummy that gets more of the pill. Will be given every opportunity

Can't see Nank being a great long term keeper or money maker.

Nank has the beautiful round 12 bye, is only 360k and has shown in his short career that he goes well as the number 1 ruck

360k is cheap for a guy who could go 90+ and provide cover

I reckon I'm going to lock Nank in. Will use a corrective trade if need be, but I reckon he can become a keeper at F6/F7/R3

More than happy to keep him for the entire season, if you were seaching for an appropriate F7 he'd tick all the boxes. He's also a tackling machine so will more than compensate for the lack of hit outs. His taps to advantage have actually been pretty good lately.

Cheaper better version of Ryder based on what he has displayed.   I currently have Cameron at F7 and 400k in the bank so Nank is definite consideration as I feel we can get same output for lower price compared to the 2nd tier fwds over 400k.    Dahl only premium fwd this year so far.,

Where would you start him RD? Up forward instead of Ryder?

Yep, F4 or even F5

I'm hearing Hampson has ongoing back issues. He doesn't do anywhere near as much as Nank around the grounds either.

Hampson is insurance, pure and simple. We played him last year because Maric ran out off puff, it was basically last man standing. The other point is Hardwick rarely plays two rucks, it's happened maybe half a dozen times over the past few years.

Anyone got the stones to go Nank R1 Sandi R2?

Let's assume the two combined average 200 a week - will be 30 short of Gawn/Goldy but 600k cheaper!

I'm going to play around with it just for the lolz to see what I come up with  ;D

DONT play around with it. It makes your mouth water to the point you can't look back when you see how deep you can go in the other lines hahaha.

I thought about it, could absolutely beef up the forward line with no rookie exposure.

My little effort, RD:

D: Laird; Tuohy; Marchbank; Hampton; Otten; Vickers-Willis (Hibberd; Stewart)

M: Hannebery; Selwood; Treloar; Zorko; Fyfe; Mitchell; Beams; Swallow (Powell-Pepper; Barrett; Wigg)

R: SANDINANKS (Cameron)

F: Dalhaus; Macrae; Miller; Petracca; Roughhead; Taranto (Black; Butler)

Bank: $0

May sit on this for a couple of days. Should probably insert Pickett as a midfield emergency to create a loop; and would consider McCluggage for Taranto.
