What to Do with the ruks

[havoc]

So Leuenbergers out, was kinda expecting it so have dropped J Russell back down to Terlich (or maybe one of the other back rooks depending on team listing) to free up some cash and im torn between these options.

Option 1 and 2 see me doing a straight upgrade to mummy/goldstein, while option 3, 4 and 5  involve trading ablett out to free up cash allowing me to get maric

if it helps

Mids: *******, Swan, Pendles, JPK, Jones, Wines, O'meara, Viney, (Blicavs/Kommer)

Rucks: *******, Kreuzer (Rowe, Currie/Witts/Daws)

Really don't think that not having Gazza is an option under any circumstance. If you need more cash down trade in defence as there are plenty of good rookies, and  defenders tend to score less than other lines.  All the best.   :)
And I went Maric, Blicavs, Currie and Rowe. But have Cox and Ryder up forward.

Ablett and Mummy for me
Have to have GAJ in your side and Mummy destroys his early fixture

Read somewhere Paul Roos thinks Mummy won't play?

Mummy will play round 1 - No doubt. Pretty likely Red vest candidate though.

In that case I will probably go Goldy

The way I see it this year with Rowe, Blicavs and Currie all lookin good and in strong contention I think one of them will be playing each week..

As a result I've locked in Jacobs at R1 and all three of the above with Cox as the swingman from the forwards. Obviously will Upgrade one to a Maric/Roughy type later in the season.

Used the spare cash to load up on better Fwds and Backs.

And yes you must have the little master GAJ 8)

Ablett & Goldy for me. Mummy may not play and if he does he will be vested.

Was burnt by Mummy last year....too injury prone.

Mumford had Pyke breathing down his neck too.

Are you trying to suggest that Pyke could be the number 1 ruck?? With Mummy in the 2's??

HA, I say to you! HA!  :o

Minson is worth a look. Could belt out 120 against Longer

Not number 1 but Pyke more likely to get a decent run than a lot of other teams' second stringer.

Is your other 'HA' related to last year's GF?

The HAs were related to the idea that Sydney would play Pyke over Mummy if both were fit.

Pyke has grown so much over the last 2 seasons, but Mummy is a better ruckman and much much better around the grounds.

It will be interesting to see come round 13 if Pyke can hold his place in a team that has (potentially) Mummy, LRT and Tippett.

His GF heroics aside, Pyke needs to lift again to cement his spot in the team, he isnt ready to play as a forward more than ruck and that is the area which will hurt him in comparison to the other guys.

I'm taking a punt with Z.Smith and spending the cash somewhere else. Risky but rewarding
