Position 2026 Rucks

[WaynesWorld19]

Most likely. There could be some merit in trading White up to him as R3 but only if he absolutely dominates his first two rounds i.e 95+ in both. I think thats a move that could backfire big time as trades are fairly scarce

Yeah, maybe not the right time to bring in rookie RUCK's at Bryan's price .....however, things may start to get desperate on the Rookie front ....which may require desperate actions

I have already traded Kalani White out to Steene in week 4 and am now trading him back in this week, so I have a donut.

 

[jdstorm]

Yeah, hard if you have all of those 3 .....doesn't Bryan need to be a Flex option at his price ?

Maybe not.

Quite a few good rooks this year averaging 80+ which is about what Bryan needs to be successful.

if Bryan is on the bubble in 3 weeks and you have a mostly complete side +4X80+ rooks you could just bench him… or use Kwhite to loop him and a forward rookie

McAndrew vs Tigers (no Nank)
Grundy vs Xerri

Please SC Gods, help me out here. Need a McAndrew ton and a Grundy 90. McAndrew to Grundy in rd12 could cost closer to $200k than $300k if things go right.

Anyone else considering Gawn>Xerri/Grundy

 

[Nelso]

Anyone else considering Gawn>Xerri/Grundy

Not yet.

I want to see if Gawn as ruck/fwd is a possibility.

I can do better than that...I've got X and Brodie and Jacko.

X and Grundy Rucks, Dogga flex and Gawn r/f. SC gods deliver

Anyone else considering Gawn>Xerri/Grundy

still best to get rookies off field I think

 

[Sherman41]

They’ve still got to score 3300 points…..someone has to get them.

Open free flowing footy in pre season, coaches will find a way to slow the game down in the season proper.

Think we collectively need to pump the breaks. I’ll be starting Gawn and Xerri and backing them in.

Reassess at end of round 2 as others have stated.

This has aged well. 4 of the top 5 averages are ruckman. Here all week for further advice.

 

[Nelso]

Gawn sitting at 9% up forward after the weekend.

No chance of getting DPP after round 11.

I love Cumming.
First rookie picked for me this week.

Oh this is the ruck thread.... ahem.
Big Xerri a 90% chance to enter as FLX for me this week. 10% chance next week. He's definitely coming in.
Money no issue. Just toying with different rookie combos, price rises etc.

 

[Faz 2000]

I have the funds to get Xerri this week, so I feel like I just have to. After a truly disastrous attempt to bring him in earlier in the year (for the suspension), surely THIS time it's a winner. Turning up every week without him VC or C feels like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Will leave me with 3 of the 4 heavy hitters (X, Action Jackson, Gawn).

McAndrew at R2-ers: What's your strategy around the rucks over the next few weeks?

McAndrew to Grundy in rd12 looks great, but it will cost $300k...

English will be cheap, but
1) he has a rough run, plays all the gun rucks, and no Cats/Giants/Bombers
2) he will not score as well as Grundy/Xerri/Jacko/Gawn

Most likely to Xerri - whichever ruck you get will cop a bye anyway, so same bye does not matter here

Praying for one of Grundy, Jackson or Xerri to have a down game. Doesn’t look likely. I was really banking on Xerri dropping more than he has.

Grundy going 70-100 this weekend against Xerri would be beautiful.
