Ricochet

Lycett is far from a lock. NicNat will be back eventually and then what. If it's early on, Lycett won't have made much money and you'll be limited with your trade options.

The Slyce goes alright with NN in the side so it's not a major issue.

They also made the finals last year, and made it to the semis fwiw. Not sure why you'd say they won't this year, I reckon they could come anywhere from 6th-12th.

(And sorry Dees and Port fans)

They did... With Priddis, Mitchell, Petrie and Wellingham.
WC have lost a bucketload of experience, their most important player in JJK has had an interrupted preseason, and its pretty well known they're in a rebuilding stage.
Then there's the new stadium. Subi was a fortress for WC, who knows how long it'll take them to adjust to Optus.

They won't finish 6th

Hazza09

Would it be crazy to start both Kruezer & Gawn?
Both have different bye rounds and its pretty much set and forget.

Each to his own but not that crazy due to byes. At the moment my ruck combo is Stef Martin and Sauce Jacobs.

The only crazy part is Kreuzer's price but if you are happy with the rest of your team then go for it.

Any reason why Archie didn't play against Swans ringo?

Think we were trying out a small forward line and he did not fit. Suspect he may get a game this week though but wait and see. Speaking with him at a fan day his goal this year is to cement a position in the 22. Will be hard though.

is Kreuz really set and forget?

in the last 5 years he has only played 17 games or more 2 times and has only averaged a premium score 2 times.


RaisyDaisy

Isn't Cox the last ruck to go back to back #1 ruck in SC?

Big odds for Kreuz. Not impossible, but not likely according to history

Yeah, definitely up against the statistical evidence.

Lycett is still a lock.
Wish I couldn't be as confident! A problem I'm finding is how to spend that extra cash. Every team I make with him doesn't look much better than those without, but I'll keep an eye on Vardy and keep experimenting.
