Ok guys - looking at some bench coverage in the rucks.
I am currently going with the standard set-up of Goldy and Berger but want some options on the bench.
Like the look of McBean at the moment (for both the Dr Seuss memories and the DPP factor) and Osborn (chiefly on price).
So - here's the poll. Which ruck rookies (under $200k) are going to get the most games?

Sabretooth Tigers

Curry to get most game time to back up Goldstein, Daw has been training in defence.

dswallow24

Gorringe to get a good run as backup to Smith.

Blaircam

Sorry guys - I forgot Rowe (because I had him on my fwds bench).
Fixed now.

Southstorm

Rowe has apparently returned well and has potential to be the next Lance Armstrong, obviously without the lying, cheating and false lawsuits. Malthouse likes talls so if Rowe can play down Mitchell and Casboult then he should get games, at least that's my take.


SydneyRox

currie for most games, but think he may not be the best dt option

monga77

I've gone with the currie/ Rowe combo both should get decent game time and Rowe has the dpp

dmac07

Currie or witts. Surprised no one else has picked witts, think he might be ahead of Grundy at the moment. Buckley has already been quoted as saying witts will get senior game time. Plus, the kid is a giant.

Nige

Currie will get several as Goldy's back-up. Witts and Grundy will be rotated through a bit so might not get as many games as say Currie will. Daw's probably a bit behind Currie but stil a decent option. Pretty sure Rowe's over his cancer issues but not sure whether he'll make the 22. The other guy to look at is Gorringe, probably will act as back-up to Zac Smith.

Keen on Grundy seeing as he was the best ruck option of the draft and slid down the order a bit. Big bodied aswell.

Apparently Grundy has been out- rucking Jolly this preseason.

going with daw & currie,only need 1 to play at times & the other can be used for the captain loophole,im assuming that at least 1 will play each week,the other 1 raising no interest is sinclair of eagles,the 2 reasons are obvious,but he is mature age & perhaps old coxy is due to be rested for a few games this year,rowe is an interesting 1,hes got kreuzer warnock & hampson above him,but warnocks been iffy,kreuzer seems to be preferred forward & is hampson only kept at the club to keep megan gale around?thought he was a lock to be traded but he wasnt,so gotta assume they got a role for him if not the reason i mentioned,be interesting to get thoughts on rowe & sinclair

The Mongoose

He hasn't been talked about a whole lot, but...Gorringe.

Not only does his name rhyme with orange (which if you know your English is a true rarity), but he promises to be a great point of difference, and is likely to play a good proportion of the season.
