Need to bring one of these 2 in.

Have Goldy just ahead because of the 18k cheaper price tag and BE of 28

BE shouldn't matter for a keeper, I'd put nicnat ahead because west coast is a better side than north. Goldy been up and down this year

His last 4 games he is averaging 116 though...

He was subbed out one game and had to contend with HMac before. Now he should continue that form and hopefully regain top spot.

NicNat on the other hand is in a team that will win more games and possibly score higher

what happens HMAC comes back and its finals time?

Nic Nat has scored under 100 once, and that was 90 something. Why risk Goldy? Especially after all that has happened this years so far...

[Danstar]

+1 To all.

Nic Nat it is

nic nat for SC goldy for DT

exactly!

NicNat is a pretty safe choice, gun player in better side, but will have to contend with Cox for points and for that reason his scores are solid, but not huge.  Lowest 94, Highest 112.

Goldy is high risk, high reward.  Getting huge scores while Hmac is out an this was the case all of last season, so i think Goldy will outscore NicNat while Hmac is out.  How many weeks, who knows.

When and if Hmac comes back, then this may change.  What role will Hmac play?  will he be eased back in via the fwd line, and how much ruck time will he have.  Goldy currently scoring well, hes rucking and then droping back into defence where he is also taking marks, and the ball will probably spend a bit of time down back the way north are playing.  His form has picked up also, he was out of form at the start of the year.

The decision is not clear cut.  Do you need a POD, who may score 120 plus for a few weeks, then the scores may drop away, or do you go with a safe option who will score about 100 most weeks.

I thinks both are good options, it's a matter of who suits your team needs best for the remainder of the season.  My rucks are hopefully set, Cox and Giles, but if I needed to pick a new ruck this week, I would take Goldy, just ahead of NicNat, but a very close call.

Really hope you chose NicNat after tonight :)

I did. I was about to Reverse trade cos his BE was about 118, thinking he might go down a few K, but I thought I'd better just pick him up and get his 100~ score this week as I would've had 4 donuts in the ruck.
