Just wondering how many people are already jumping Giles as number two ruck after two solid (brogan-less) games.

Very impressive. But I want to see how he goes in a full game. But very positive signs I must admit.  :)

Cicjose

i have thought about it but i think he is going to be the cash cow my team can build from

Jukes

Who in their right mind wouldn't? Could average 70-75, which means a 20 point down from a premum ruck but saving potentially 400k, which could be used to turn a rookie into a premium for a 40 point up.

Cicjose

will depend highly on my other two rucks i must admit

BratPack

Considered it a long time but I want my rucks to be a Set and Forget barring injury, number 3 for me

picker_man

i see his average being significantly higher then say a fwd rookie like cameron who i had on the field, so i downgraded mcevoy to a rookie put giles on the field and upgraded cameron to robinson........ magnifercent work hahaha!

I recon he will average better than Smith who averaged around 72.

BGK

I wasn't going to, but i've had a play around with my my team and with him as ruck 2 my team looks 100% better. But it could change come the start of the season. As you said Windigo the games were Brogan-less and not full games.

When you are talking the rolled gold premium rucks, its more like 45-50 points a game you are losing

l for 1 am seriously considering it, he did look very impressive (as he did in last years NAB cup too)

Am looking forward to when he plays some full games.

.....and will be keeping a keen eye on some of the other possible benchies (apart from orren - he's a lock)

The F.A.R.K.

have had him since i made my first team. With big o and redden on bench who dont score very well but will get games might as well get on board giles. If he misses a game at least bench has cover and when he plays will av over 70 i reckon 80

Swallow12

I am, will avergae more than almost all the fwd rookies

MGK1

I won't be going with him, Brogan will be playing as well so that will hamper Giles scores.
Giles reminds me of Jacobs though just in their unco-ish ways that are effective.

what? cox averaged 107 last year as top ruck- 75 to 107= 32 points. Nobody else averaged over 100.

I can see giles pushing 80 average personally :P

besides, it's all up to where you can use the cash. lose 20 ppg there, but potentially gain 30 ppg elsewhere.

He should be a good cash cow, for after Swans bye upgrade to Mummy.
