No Sydney rookie rucks named. What Now?

[hogan2014]

So there is Thurlow possibably? Anyone else?
Is a mid-pricer or Dixon as back-up now appeal?
Thoughts appreciated!

[eaglesman]

lock in pyke?

[hogan2014]

Hmmm your tempting me eaglesman.....

[HotTiges]

Didn't have Dericxhead or Nankervis.. but it is tempting to downgrade Cox to Pyke and upgrade elsewhere..

[cortez]

Thurlow and Currie on the bench for me with Dixon a possibility up forward especially with Gorringe not named.

i have thought about pyke too ... just feel funny about having a Canadian leading my ruck stocks haha

Good point on Gorringe out. More ruck time appeals for Dixon. And we all want reliable ruck cover.
Pyke I'm now strongly considering, but Jacobs at similar price I'm not sure.
Also don't know much about Currie, cos a dont trust Thurlow, so don't want both on bench.

Thurlow and King for now unless there is a rookie ruck named next weekend.

Dont do Max King if you want him to play. He is a rookie still I'm sure and a beanpole and likely to not play. I've got Thurlow too but not enthused by him. Mainly ruck/fwrd status is only reason. Which is only good if you have Dixon or trading later.

Have King for R4- will adjust thurlow to whoever is picked- but not too worried- no other mid pricers worth picking.

Isn't Thurlow a rookie?

No guarantee he'll be upgraded

I know what you mean, but I'm just putting it out there the need for cover. But I guess to just hope the 2 starting rucks hold out for a while and no back-up is needed.

Would you pick a mid-pricer for the bench then? no way- you would have to make downgrades in your best 22- not worth it IMO.

If no rookie rucks are named you just have to carry 2 cheap rucks. One who may play down the track (all the ones that have been mentioned) and a cheap R4 loophole (in this case King)

Cannot see Dixon or Hale in top 10 forwards and won't take that risk either.

[RaisyDaisy]

No guts not glory approach for me

Thurlow, and King for loophole purposes

If Thurlow doesn't get named, then Currie

If Curries doesn't get named then I don't care if I have two rucks on the bench not playing, but obviously it would be nicer if one did
