Z. Smith Are you stuck with him?

[Nails]

This guy tricked me into thinking he was a premium... or a sufficient 85-90 average...

Something like 47 at HT... 65-69 odd at 3qtr time....

70 at full time  >:( >:( >:(

Anyone else stuck with him as 2nd ruck? I could swap Petrie into 2nd and play I. Smith instead... sounds tempting... but too many damn byes  >:(

Just disappointed, he only ever plays ONE DECENT half these days... last few weeks he has been like 30 at HT and powered home... figured he'd score 90+ this game... but no he's like 47 at HT and dies...

[Sleeken]

Yes. I'll probably do what you suggested and play I Smith instead.

[LaHug]

Including Petrie and Fyfe (using Fyfe as DPP cover), I have 9 premium forwards. So I only need to play Z. Smith one more time in the North bye. Still, with a few forwards out this week, I had to play him and it wasn't fun. Not that Petrie did much better...

aint nothing wrong with 70 from a rook

aint nothing wrong with 70 from a rook

There isn't I agree...

The issue lies with the fact I used trades elsewhere and decided to stick with a rook as my 2nd ruck due to a string of a few good games  ::)

[Spite]

That's why I traded him to kreuzer after kreuzers 32.

I have lost 5 points and a trade. No idea what I was thinking.

FAIL.

[PowerBug]

Too bad guys. He didn't fool me. Actually i didn't find the trades to get him in.

[elephants]

I am happy to interchange bailey/smith/Petrie/Lobbe between 6th and 7th forward and 2nd ruck.

[Fireballz]

Downgraded Smith and Sandi to Lobbe and Gawn. Using Petrie as 2nd ruck with Hale and Lobbe as my ruck and fwd bench cover.

[The F.A.R.K.]

im happy to cop 70s and occasionaly a 90-100. not too fussed. would rather spend trades elsewhere coz rucks other than cox can be inconsisitent and get injured easy

[Nails]

Excuse me whilst I regurgitate.

[Holz]

thank you dids becasue he came back i put him on the field and swtiched petrie into the ruck. I will keep it that way for the rest of the season.

[Alka]

Traded him in this week for Mumford.
Seems like it was the right move based on this week alone.

FARK, I think he might have one 90-100 left in him. The rest will be 70s, and there's the chance of a burn like this week.
Mumford should get 90+ for the season, and so I'll happily take the extra 20 points per week for the all important finals even burning a precious trade.

[PowerToWin]

Smith sits on my bench, Hale gets game time with me every week with Cox.

Hale can score 80+ easier than Smith.
