2011 Countdown: Josh Fraser

[ossie85]

Voted unlikely but more likely a no

So an unlikely unlikely  :P ;)

Just don;t think he'll get through the season & he really has dropped off a lot.

No chance for moi.

No for me, just can't fit him in.
Plus with GC having bye first week and with most people picking Smith too that will mean your 4th ruck will need to play...

I haven't considered Fraser until I just realised how I can fit him in.

Instead of having Petrie as second ruck, you have fraser. Petrie goes to 7th fwd.
Now the reasoning behind this is, Fraser is more likely to score more points than a rookie forward/someone like vespremi. Have Majak Daw on your bench so Petrie can come in for ruck cover r1 and then just use a fwd rookie to cover petrie.

Problem solved.

I think that strategy might propose more value than if you are starting a rookie in 7th spot.
Fraser obviously isn't going to stay in your team for the whole season but he did come close to having an injury free year, so with some time off and a fresh start he might be feeling pretty good.

Thoughts?

That is how I am doing my rucks this year, but it will most likely be Sandi/Jolly, Sandi/Ryder or Ryder/Jolly combination in the ruck

[BoredSaint]

probably not..
