GOLDSTEIN V MUMFORD

[Jay]

Big Shane Mumford.  I see his name pop up every season, and how he's going to finish in the top 2 or 3 ruckmen for the year, but he never does.

He's a very important player to Sydney, and one that they will want to be right for the finals, and the grand final if they get there again, which the swans are every chance to do so, especially with kurt to come back in R12.

Big Mummy played R1 last year, then he was a late withdrawl for R2, then he played R3, and then missed the next 6 games, came back in R10, Sydney had the bye in R12, then he missed another game late in the season.

surprize, surprize when on the morning of the grand final, big mummy was in doubt.  He went into the biggest game of the year with hamstring soreness.  Sydney played him because he is so important to their team, but he was subbed off after having little impact, with a SC score for the day of 34.   

When fit, I have no doubt Mumford would be a great SC scorer, so by all means, if you think this is the year that mummy will play almost every week, then pick him in your line up.  Just make sure you have a good scoring back up Ruck 3.

When everyone was on mummy last year, I advised against picking him, and said at the time that Cox is by far the best ruckman available in SC and has bene for a long time. 

I have Cox in my fwd line, and i'm tossing up between sandi and goldy to share the ruck with berger.  Still like sandilands but my only concern is his durability this year.

Mumford may be a good option for some. Not for me. 

good post mate. But he does have all the capabilities to be a top 2-3 ruckman but injuries get the better of him.

Im thinking of starting him, gotta take a few risks to compete with the best...

Goldstein is only 10k more and will outscore him, so Goldy
