Ruck set-ups

[Jukes]

There's a lot of varying ruck formations between here and DT Talk, which one will you be using this season? Premiums being like Cox, Sandi, Mid-pricers McIntosh, Kruezer, and rookies Giles, Stephenson, Rowe, Jenkins etc.

I'm going 1 mid-pricer (McIntosh) and 3 rookies (Giles, Stephenson and Rowe).

...

where's the 4 rookie option...?

:P

[Chelskiman]

Sandi/Berger combo for me.  Then the popular Giles, Stephensen on the bench.  Rucks are set for me.

I'm going the two gun two rook option. i honestly  can't see why you'd go the 1 gun or mid pricer option and the 3 rooks. History shows that ruck rooks usually always average less than 1st year rooks from the mids, fwds of defs (zac smith was an exception). Sure, giles and stephenson look like decent options but there are better rooks to be found elsewhere. it ultimately comes down to the question of whether you think that the ruck rookies are a better option than the rookies from all of the other positions and i reckon they will avg 10-20 less than the other rookies.

im going mummy & leauy was going sandi istead of mummy but it said in the papper that sandi will get more rest time under coach roos lyon ;)

[Memphistopheles]

Thinking of going Sandi and Cox (two best ruck options when fit) and then Stephenson (cheap) and Derickx (save some cash instead of Giles).

I can get some inside information on whether he will play or not and how he is going (By giving him a call) and I am positive he will get gametime this season. At 24 he is ready and spent last season getting his upper body strength up as he had an ankle injury.

This is my interview with him from November. If you haven't guessed I am a journalist.

If Derickx doesn't look like playing at all then i'll get Giles.

How often do you get Rookie ruckmen that are  most probably going to be  be the number 1 ruck in their side. These guy's have job security to boot.

2 premo's, 2 rookies. Don't mess with the rucks.
