which way to go with the ruck

[lordy9]

please leave your thoughts and if going prem rookie which rookies will u have!

[Hoggy]

I will be going two premiums, as personally I prefer the old lock and leave. Also, besides HMac, I dont see a whole lot of value in the mid-tier ruckman and at the moment and I'm still not that confirdent on starting him or a rookie (Giles for example).

A lot also depends on the rest of your team. If you get two premiums, how much do your other positions suffer?

[Windigo]

I dunno whether to go with Mumford & Giles or not.

You'd have to be confident that Giles can slay at let's say at least 70. I'd suggest try just going with Premium & rookie and see how the team looks. But set and forget is always a good option also.  :)

it gets rid of a prem in my backline

[Windigo]

IMO I don't really "stack the backs."

Simply because the points aren't there. Hypothetically if Hargrave shows the same type of scoring in the NAB game he can easily average around the same as Enright. It's a big IF, but if it pays off your up a lot cash!  8)

[egosbar]

im a gambler premium and rookie for my start hope it works come on giles give me 80

[picker_man]

therez only a few rookies that you wouldnt look like a knob for backing them to get 80ave and he's one of them! so whatever sound a lock makes locking i just got made it with the 1premo 3 rookie ruck stratergy haha

With Giles as number two your team looks so much better. That's why I've taken the risk.

[Colliwobblers]

Two preiums set and forget

[ZEDDOG]

Provided you have prem with Giles And big O And Derricx etc then there is really a double chance.
Just start best from Giles or O.i
If Giles bangs out 40-50s early then sit him and call up O
IF they both fail then yes it's a nasty double trade early upgrade.
It's a real key to structures this year.
I'm taking a punt . Come on Giles!
Provided he's in Gws best 4 or 5 then with 3300 odd point spread then surely he can bang out 80 plus???
Can't he????

Cox Mac .. dont say it too quickly .. ouch   ;D

Bye troubles come round 11 with Giles also in there??

i guess you just need to think about it in terms of whether giles will score better than say having an extra rookie in your forward line or which ever area you sacrifice to upgrade your ruck. also, you need to have at least one bench ruckman to have good JS in case of ermegencies.
