Top 2/5 rucks, 2018 Thread

Think people are getting a bit spooked. Last footage I saw of nicnat he was running without his knee even strapped.
He was close to playing in the finals last year so he should be more than ready another 6 months on.

I think people are concerned with the caution WC are showing this early on.
Might indicate caution throughout the year meaning multiple rests or further decreased tog, WC will be cellar dwellers, they won't push Nic.

True, but then again, if he plays Rd.1 he will be hard to not pick imo.

Cegs is to Big Boy, what Preuss is to Goldy.

Gawn at that price is a steal  and jacobs being the sole ruckman and crows mids being dominant last yr. Can see him having another huge yr

So far i haven't seen a single team of any forum willing to Back Kreuzer in.
Can't say that i blame them but should he happen to continue his form and stay uninjured
he would be a massive POD while having a good bye round. Just saying  :P

Probably just his price putting people off read yesterday he is having a very good preseason you will probably see him appear in more teams when rookies and cheapies become clearer and if people can afford him

Quite possibly.

This for me. I've got Kelly and NN currently, but Conigs and Kreuz is an option

[Peter]

I have Kruezer in RDT and AF as I believe better scorer and better bye for team balance. Have Jacobs in SC for the same reason over NN, for his good value and history. Will take a massive reason to switch to NN, unless money is needed

[quinny88]

Wouldn't even consider Kreuzer at that price. People concerned about nicnat missing games, surely you wouldn't go near Kreuzer whos missed loads more footy over the years

[shaker]

You are right Q he has missed many games over the years , he has played two 21 game seasons on the trot but out of the blue he scored very well last year maybe a late bloomer ?

Yeah certainly promising that he's played 21 games 2 years running but I couldn't justify the price tag. Would be a huge pod if he backs it up though and plays all year

[Adamant]

Andrew Phillips had a stress reaction in his foot in the lead-up to Rd 1 last year which put him behind the eight ball for senior selection, but he played 16 games alongside Kreuz in 2016 which is why Matty scored like shower that year.

Phillips is fully fit now but you'd think that Bolton has probably worked out that Kreuz is a lot more effective when he's allowed to be the workhorse, but it's something to be wary of.

Handy info mate did not know that watch and wait maybe , the rucks are looking like a very important part of this years competition more so than usual with little D/P 's and backups
