gun ruck vs gun fwd

[hawksrule]

Can't decide what to do with petrie.
Put him in the fwd line and have 2 gun rucks eg sandi and cox
or put him as number 2 ruck and fill his fwd spot with another gun maybe brad green.
Any thoughts?

Think most teams have this problem. I am locking in 2 prem rucks and play Petrie in the forward with Tippet (GC) as a bench player in the forward line.

Sure others will have there own plan for him  :D

In the same boat mate im thinking of leaving Petrie at 2nd ruck , not jumping of just yet think he'll average 65-80 worst case and then prob upgrade him after about round 8-10 , was only is first game back for a long time so not to worried just yet !

I have been having the same issue and the only way i could come up with a solution was to think that he would be much easier to cover in the forwards if he is not scoring what you'd like than he would be in the ruck..

I Have petrie in the FWD line...

2 premo rucks as there really isnt anything decent apart from Sandilands and Cox

[popedelio]

I don't have Petrie, i have a different mid pricer, though i would go the double premium rucks.

If you are going to have him, definitely think you should put him in the forward line. Less downside/easier to cover if he bombs rather than if you had him in the rucks. That being said, if you have a fwd/ruc in your forwards should be fine to put him in the rucks.

I have him in the fwds with Sandi and Cox/Jolly in the ruck

He is a cash cow, and probably not a keeper, so having him in the fwds is best IMO so you can upgade him later in the year. Set and forget the rucks (fingers crossed)

I have Cox and Sandi.

Have Petrie in the fwd line.

As a rule I always buy big in the rucks and just forget about 'em so I can concentrate on other positions in my team.
