Goldy to who?

[tor01doc]

I reckon when I really need top ruckmen, ie come finals time, I will have 2 guns because I will have had the opportunity to see who is firing and will grab them (IMO Nicstein) after NicNait's vest is gone and Goldy's price softens a wee bit.

Big boy is my pick

See where Currie is named first... Until the team is actually out all this is extra worry. Currie might be an emergency. All I heard was he was near certain to be in the squad - which is the 25 to me. If he's named as an emergency, back Goldy. If he's in the 22, I still think you can back Goldy but yes he will take a hit - keeper prems rarely go up in price, most often they go down. It's the nature of it. Forget the price and select the points. If you're really not happy with it, then The pro's and con's of NicNat and Leuey make it a choice of safety vs potential. Leuey will be a safer bet but is no certainty of being a top 5 ruckman. NicNat may still be underdone and injury affected but if he's not he would be my odds on favourite for top ruck this year. The other option would be Cox, who as I've laboured in other threads (where's Ricochet? ;) ) is literally the only ruckman to feature in the top 5 every year in the last few years. MAY take a hit playing with NicNat but that's also not a certainty - in 2012 Cox played 2 more games to average 2ppg less than NicNat. I think old Coxy has been written off too easy by many. Having said that I ended up not picking him as I needed cash in other lines... Last but not least there's Big Boy, who represents more risk than reward for me. Worst option out of 4 potential replacements mentioned in my mind.

Yeah I'm kind of just reading between the lines on this one and assuming he will be named. Would be nice if he's not! All though he provides a nice bench option that will actually make some cash if he plays.

At the moment NicNat is my favourite. That changes every 5 minutes though
