Scott Lycett

[Bully]

im certainly looking at him or dawson simpson.

Its basically a Jom Goldy option versus a Lycett/Simpson Jelwood combo.

so its a tough ask as basically that Jom v Lycett/Simpson + a little extra.

JOM/Goldy all the way. These cheap rucks could miss games and you will need 2 trades to fix it.

Yeah it all depends on where u spend the extra $ from going Lycett.
If it's JOM vs Lycett then JOM wins on points easily if fit.
If  the cash goes to upgrading Petracca to Billings/Heeney and Ah Chee to Devon Smith (as just one example) then it's more worth it.

Goldy JOM easily

What are people doing as coverage for their rucks? Is it crazy to pick Lycett as R3? I just dont want to be burning a trade or eating a donut if one of my rucks go down.

I'm running Sauce and Gawn currently with English on the bench, if either goes down and English isn't getting games will captain loophole them then trade.

#neverforget Scott Lycett scoring 2 in Round 21 of 2016

[ubeaut]

Also scored 8 games 100+,  6 of which were with NN I think. Not bad for 277k.

Yep!

NN just can't line up Round 1 based off current updates, and Vardy generally doesn't recover quickly from injuries

Witts was an amazing pick last year, and it's looking like we might be fortunate enough to go with that strategy again

I think I might have to bring Lycett in now - hasn't missed a beat all preseason too

[Jalapeno]

No, I am going to go with Kreuzer and Gawn as I think they will finish the top 2 rucks for the year. Therefore if there is no injuries I will set and forget.

I have tried cheap rucks before and it has never gone well for me so this year I will not fall into the trap and have to waste a trade.

Starting to lean that way as well. Plus a ex Port maggie player helps lol

So what happens if NN comes in 3 rounds later? Do they play in tandem? Do you hold Lycett until you can afford an upgrade?

The Lycett selection must be based off Vardy

NN will walk straight in whenever he is deemed fit

Vardy's injury opens the door for Lycett now, so it now becomes Lycett's position to lose. If he plays well enough then Vardy will most likely end up the hard luck story waiting on the outer to get in, which based off last years effort would be harsh, but sometimes someones misfortune is someone else's fortune

We need to wait for further updates on Vardy though, because if it's not as bad and he lines up Round 1 then I wouldn't be picking Lycett as an NN return would make him too risky. Vardy is the key here now
