So I decided to go all #yolo for my free hit round and bring in Sandi and Hickey as my rucks. Never in my wildest dreams would I expect 200 from $527k investment. Which brings me to this: do I keep them both for Rnd 2?

Sandi is locked in, he'd probably still average 60 by the time he turns 60! However can someone give me an idea on how Hickey played (beyond the stats)? Can he keep up that sort of performance, particularly against ruckmen better than Spencer (read: everybody + my grandma)?

Hickey looked pretty good but do keep in mind who he was up against

i see a few running with this strategy now i don't see a reason for you not to keep them though

Would be cautious.

Didn't play against very good opposition....

Would like to see how he goes vs an established ruck.

put it this way, he actually lost the hitouts vs Spencer

Yep while Hickey scored alright with 85, Spencer actually score more (108).

Mumford will go bananas on Hickey next week, Mummy will crack 150 mark my words next week.

Speaking of Mumford. He could be a nice POD for your R1 spot.

Yeah what is everyone doing about rucks this week? Sandi + a premium? Or Sandi and a cheapy like Hickey or Hampson who both showed a bit this week. Tough call!

I'm tossing up between Mumford and jacobs for R1. Jacobs looked like he was back to his 2012 form. Mumford was the meanest motherflowerer on the ground against the Swans (7 tackles), but I got the impression he had a bit of a point to prove in that game, and may not play as hard as he did this round every week...

Spencer R2. :P
Thinking about him myself. Is he a veritable option?

Anyone who scored well this week is no longer a POD, unlimited trades

Got the same problem. Mummy was up against better ruckmen so his score is probably a better reflection on performance but Jacobs will ruck all game without anyone else taking ruck time from him where as Mummy will share the duties with Giles which could affect his scoring
