I went with bargain ruck

but my teams better :P

I've got no doubts about that.  I'm not happy with this years team.

I think going with bargain ruck (I have an identical ruckline to you), it flowers your structure a bit, and means you need to slot mid pricers here and there, or you'll end up with a unnecessary amount of cash left over. In the bargain ruck situation, what you really need to nail, after your obvious ruck benches, are your midpricers :P


I'll pm you my team atm- only one player I'm not really happy with (but I only have $100 left in the salary cap, so can't do much with him)

warning though- my structure is flowering weird, and my midfield is gonna make you go  :o

Ok, so I have been pretty quiet here this year.  Reason; I have no confidence in my team's performance.  Anyway, I have stuck with Bargain Ruck and ended up with the following team:

Warrenbayne
Remaining Cap: $38,800

DEF: B Deledio, G Broughton, J Grimes, M Golby, B Lake, M Clarke, B Ellis, K Hunt, A Tomlinson

MID: D Swan, S Pendlebury, M Boyd, D Martin, B Vince, J McCarthy, D Shiel, J Magner

RUCK: H McIntosh, J Giles, J Redden, O Stephenson

FWD: P Chapman, M Robinson, J Lewis, S Sidebottom, P Dangerfield, D Hale, D Smith, B Smedts, T Dickson

I had Orren out and Longer in so that change may still happen which will mean Hunt goes out for Baumann as well.  It was a bit of a tossup between Hunt and Baumann but midfield time won out for me.

The only problem with this ruck combo is i dont consider HMAC do be a prem ruck as he will have time share with goldy in rucks and petrie in forwards. if you play against someone with say Cox (120+) and Mummy (100+), you could be down 80+ points

 ???

cox averaged 107 last year... and mumford barely 90?

And the whole point of this exercise is to not pick Cox or the other premiums.  People said a similar thing last year about Petrie but he worked out all right.

1855 this week.  Just goes to show what poor selections I made.
