Top 2/5 rucks, 2018 Thread

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.

Looks a hell of a lot better for me! Means Coniglio at M6 rather than a rookie

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

Im doing this, as I truly believe they will finish 1 and 2 so why not just start with them and use your trades elsewhere?

Exactly what i was thinking  ;)

@NMFCOfficial
Scott: We'll have to be flexible will our ruck setup. What we do in Round 1, may be different to what we do in Round 2. It will be good for Goldy and Preuss to push eachother to perform throughout the year.

Thoughts?

It is a concern but people picky Goldy are well aware of the Preuss factor.

Slightly different response to what Scott said earlier in the year, I reckon Preuss will be spending more time forward with Daw moving to the backline. I'm still going with Goldy, he's a far superior ruck to Preuss.

Would not be confident picking Goldy lets see what happens tomorrow night

Vardy out "for at least a month"

Lycett picks himself now I think

The article states he'll miss two rounds, better pray Lycett doesn't stink it up and Vardy gets a call-up.

Vardy won't find it easy to come back in I think, specially if NicNat is back before him.

So what scores are people expecting if Lycett is sole ruck?

Might sound crazy,  but I don't have any scoring expectations at all

For me, I like the idea of starting Lycett as it gives me time to see who the best ruck will be as the season goes on, because besides Gawn the rest are a crapshoot right now

It's Witts all over again ,and that worked a treat last year

I'll need to play around and see what my team looks like with Lycett in it. Not 100% locked in yet, but very likely

The difference being Witts had a mortgage on first ruck duties. The way I see it, if Lycett plays some ho-hum football early & Vardy is fit by round 3, the selectors will mix it up. That will be a big problem.
