Since you get heaps more cash for the rest of the team im considering this, whos doing the same. What premo ruck is everyone going with?

Its one of the biggest question marks this pre season. 'Is Giles good enough to be a starter?'. Only NAB cup can answer that. if he can average 60-70 a game you'd be pretty happy with that, he would give you a fair bit of money coming into the bye rounds if you want to upgrade him to a premo, which is also good so you can see who is doing the best out of all the decent picks this year (rather then cox/sandi last year) and that money can be used elsewhere to make your team better, its a hard one. Im gonna wait till after NAB cup to decide on 2 premos, 1 premo and 1 mid pricer (hmac) or 1 premo and 1 rookie

its just like starting zac smith last year and that payed off so no reason giles cant do it to

just remember that you are possibly going to go up against teams with 2 premi rucks so if you start with giles and he get 80, you could still be 40 points behind

If you play your cards right, the money used elsewhere would make up any points lost.

The real risk is that giles only gets 50, or less. I'd be happy with an 80.

i was able trade out my 2nd ruck the burger for giles and downgrade the porpz to a rookie in the fwds and with my spare cash get swan in instead of a rookie so for that reason i think its a good idea but comes down to what you do with the money.
+ i dont c many rookies who will play more then giles & stephonson and with more game time comes more points im on the cheap ruck theory ;)  well since yesterdy i have been haha ;D

If Giles can average above 70 in the NAB I'll start him. Otherwise I'm going 'el cheapo' on the backline!!

Yeah 75 would be the minimum average I'd accept this strategy having paid off but I think it's far too big a risk, plenty of 30-50 scores coming for GWS players outside of the already established ones... think about how many games where they'll struggle to just get hands on the ball.

I'm really considering that. I could make like 2 upgrades if so.

I'd be happy with a 60 from Giles lol ;D

Mummy is going to eat him for lunch round 1. I could see the swans picking seaby for that week and run him off his feet

According to sheeds in the paper today, brogan will be first ruck so im not so sure about starting giles, hmac dominated the roos praccy match and hes pretty cheap
