Scott Lycett

[Daicos.]

Most likely going to be solo rucking for chunks of the season, worth taking a hit of not 2 premium ruckman to free up 250k+ on other positions? Should score around 80-85 on the games he solos himself.



Mod Edit: The spelling error in the thread title was annoying me

The big problem with this strategy is covering R2 if Lycett gets replaced by Vardy. No obvious replacement.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that WC are looking at Darling playing back.
Could that mean they run with NN swapping with Vardy+Lycett who line up with JJK, instead of Darling and resting ruck?

I haven't heard that one but I doubt all three would play together, we tried that with NN Lycett and Sinkers a few years ago and it was a disaster.

If Darling isn't playing forward I reckon one of Waterman, Brander or Allen would get a go.

I think waterman is gonna play from round 1 for us for sure

Darling down back is something I would indeed try but simpson doesn’t have the thinking to even try it imo

Lycett actually scores better when he plays with NN rather than Rucking Solo.

Would be a huge risk starting him.

Yeah will only consider him if the rookie situation is flowered

[smashbox]

Im strongly considering lycett if named round 1. Think he can average 80, and with R2 up in the air, you can wait and see and trade them in post bye.

[batt]

Would like to see him named in the side with NN to have any confidence.

But if that's the case I'm probably taking NicNat over him anyway! :P

[eaglesman]

I had lycett picked for sure and certain weeks ago but I’m worried about what could happen with nic nat Vardy and lycett. Dangerous if it’s down to a war between the 2

Personally I though Vardy looked way better out there, but could be due to being Lycett's 1st game back in ages.

I had the game on in the background, I did hear Vardys name alot. But looking through the stats it might have just been the two goals that got him over the line, Lycett had more disposals and tackles.

[Holz]

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.

I watched the whole game and was surprised when I saw their stats, Vardy looked like he was everywhere and very athletic, Lycett looked pretty slow and big lumbering around.  Could be a good sign though if it's first game back.

"No one really knows what's going to happen with Nic â€" I think he might play in JLT2 â€" but Vards and myself have been smashing each other in training all summer, so we're definitely both putting our hands up for that position," Lycett said
