Top 2/5 rucks, 2018 Thread

Thought I'd have a look at a more GnR team, so put Goldy in the rucks with Gawn.

Boy did it bring back the memories of these 2 smashing 240+ between them weekly :)

100% Gawnstein, so pleased Scott played Preuss for half because Goldy was on track for 140+. Still a major POD.

Don't mind Witts as a PoD

Lycett -5 at quarter time  :o

Lycett -5 at quarter time  :o

Not great, but obviously it's only one quarter of footy

Every version of my side that I create with Lycett in it, I just don't love it. IMO his JS is very good, but I don't want to go crazy with so many mid pricers, and there's mids and even forwards that I prefer over him I think

50/50 for me still

He makes for a great team everywhere else but I'm the same, then look at him at R2 and it just doesn't feel right and I'm not confident on it.

[Ricochet]

He was probably always going to struggle up against Sandi (who looks in ripper nick)

Sandi is a legit R2 option, and would be a massive POD too

Just need him to get through the first 10 games, then if he breaks down sideways to the next best

Sandi's just kinda got the same issue as Gaz in that scoring isn't the issue, it's more about whether he'll get through unscathed. I'm tempted, but it's gonna be hard to pass up my boy Nank.

Doesn't carry the price tag Gaz does though, and with no good RUC/FWD cover options this year you could say that whoever we start alongside Gawn has some kind of risk and chances are we're going to be burning a trade or two in the rucks this year anyway so might as well YOLO on the big man

I agree.
Lycett a lock!

But I have had Stefan for 2 weeks and been considering sandi myself ...

I still don't understand why people want to risk Lycett, Naitanui also due back.

Anyone we select at R2 carries some sort of risk, whether it be injury prone, poor JS or questionable scoring so at 277k he can certainly push 80+ so it's not a bad choice at all IMO, but I just don't like the overall feel of my side with him in it atm
