Top 2/5 rucks, 2018 Thread

[RaisyDaisy]

Ceglar is definitely on the radar

Anyone priced under 400k is really

No point getting both Lycett/Vardy. The point of this strategy is that is frees up the money to get all other lines really solid. That's the focus here, not having ruck cover

This is the first year we don't have any decent rucks that can play in the forwards to provide cover, so for that reason we are all going to need to burn a couple of trades in the rucks this year unless you're blessed to start 2 rucks who don't miss a game all year so for that reason that's why I am looking to adopt this strategy. We're going to use a trade or too anyway, so might as well start a cheap ruck because the odds of set and forget working this year are extremely low

I reckon this is the year for set and forget are you really thinking about starting Lycett Vardy or Ceglar for R2 ? seems to me if Nic Nat plays but is looking like being rested then surely Lycett or Vardy won't play when he does so you are in the same boat may as well start Nic Nat same with Ceglar if the coach decides to go with one ruck every now and then all for 150 - 200K into another line , what you gain in points in one line you lose for having a lesser ruck who might not play all the time ?

[Southstorm]

There's a ruckman who's a smokey to start R1, very questionable JS, but he's priced at low 50's and should be good for 80's. Has tonned up before when rucking solo, if they confine Lobb to more of a forward role.

[frenzy]

Naismith, Sinkers and Cammo is on the cards. Two of them three will have to play every week surely.

And as soon as I write this, I remember Allir  Allir, Lol

why would you suggest low JS, he's played 40 games ..... over 10 years

Ceglar was best 22 and if he returns Rd1 then I would expect that to still be the case

Roughead is also an option who is best 22

Lycett/Vardy is risky yes, but again it's no so much making a call on the exact player right now because there's still so long to go before we see who is playing etc, but the discussion is more so about the theory of adopting this strategy and I think I will be doing it this year, hopefully as a POD

Don't think we will roll with 2 of those 3, think it will be naismith with Reid pinch hitting, too big of a side and slow if we roll with 2 rucks

Interesting, Gee Reid would need to lift, just going on last years numbers. 22 games 36 hitouts in total.  :o

Does it matter?

If your R2 is cheap and avg's 70 that means your D4/M6/F4 averages higher

Yes.
There are heaps of players in the D/M/F who cheap and COULD premos, much better taking a risk on one of those than getting a guy you know wont go very big just to get "better" in those positions

My thinking as well you only get 2 Rucks why would you choose a spud with one of your picks

+1

Sandy last year was a fallen prem, and that played out ok, but hoping a spud finally matures is much more risky imo
