Not really. Longer/Rowe/Derickx look to have extended periods out of the game.

That leaves you relying on Redden and Stephensen to basically play every game between them which could be bad

After a long pre-season of 2 premiums, 2 rookies two weeks ago i changed to premium, 3 rookies. But today i was looking through my side and just went " i can't do this, it'll come back and haunt me" so back to 2 premium ruckmen it is. And it will stay that way.

4 rookie rucks, this is a year you can do it.

Not if you want to win the car.....

Shh don't tell him.
I don't want to win the car, and my team has the ability to pick up the points around the ground. If you can afford to do it and figure out a structure where you earn more points in the long run. Why wouldn't you do it?

Well you have next to no backup strategy if it fails, you're basically stuck
Can't really say that without knowing the rest of my team can you? Pretty positive it will work for the required amount of time I need it too.

Well who's your 4th ruck. There is none that well get any signifcant game time IMO

So your stuck with 3 rucks. Say Lobbe comes back early and they stick with Renouf Lobbe (Renouf + Redden wouldn't even work in Redden's favour anyway)

So you have Giles and Stephensen as your main two rucks. Stephensen is playing second fiddle to West and Hawkins so his gametime is still under question

So you only have the one ruckman (Giles) who is certain to have consistant gametime. Whereas a simple example of Mumford + Giles means you have 2 100% gametime rucks + a 70% one + a 50-60% one.

What will you do if Redden and Stephensen aren't named or play underwhelmingly poorly round 2?

It's called, being risky. I'm picking this team because it's so unique. If it works I'll look like a genius. If it doesn't than I'll learn. But as I said, I only need 100 points a week and I benefit from it. I believe that can be achieved for 7-10 rounds.
