The right one is Jacobs, not sure who the left one is, Leunberger?

Luenberger vs Jacobs. I would pick berger

Which one do you choose?

right, both have a low 100 potential, yet the one on the right is priced lower.

Which one do you choose?

The one on the right has the form pattern I generally go for. Both have shown themselves capable of about the same score but the one on the left is priced much closer to that score, making the one on the right much better value.

But I went with this form line instead for the slightly higher highs and higher lows ....

2009 21 84.3
2010 21 85.7
2011 22 90.9
2012 15 105.5
2013 17 90.2

The left one is definitely Luey and the one on the right, I agree, is Jacobs 'cause I remember looking him up last year and what he subsequently did to me.. ;_

I'd take Luey

IMO both have the potential to score 100+ but only one has the potential to fulfill his potential

paddy whack?

Certainly is. Can't say I'm confident about any ruckman this year, but I'm happier with him than I was with Lobbe who I had slotted in for a long time.

 

[LegendLewis]

I'm leaning toward ryder myself. I think there's an upside there with him doing the ruck solo and ability to drift forward and kick a goal. just depends how fit he is. But you have to assume he is ok if thurlow hasn't been upgraded? but nicnat still intrigues me, sounds like he may be given the free ticket to roam and not do a lot of ruck duties..

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Anyone under or around Leuenberger's price that may outscore him? not confident in him.

Also which rookie ruck mans are best chance to play later in the year out of Thurlow, Derickx, Currie, Nankervis?

 

[TheGooch]

2014 1st ruck choice, the hardest supercoach decision in years. I've had 7 players at R1 at various times this preseason.

 

[ohh_v]

Dawson Simpson now in, for all you Hmac owners.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Man, I'm getting cold feet about HMac ...

 

[Waspy79]

Are any rucks priced less than $150K going to be named?!

 

[Deliverance]

screw it . Hmac out an NN in. but i'm sure this will change again.

 

[Derogue]

i have no cover in my rucks

Apparently not (at least that I can see).

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Leuenberger or Mcevoy or Ryder?

Having second thoughts on Leuenberger as West playing may effect scoring, always have been considering Big Boy McEvoy and Ryder seriously. Thoughts?

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Apparently not (at least that I can see).

Nup, Currie/Thurlow/Derickx probably best bench cover. Or Cam Wood (if you have cash)

 

[Souup]

Ended up backing my judgment and held onto Jacobs for a nice result. Long season but pleasing signs in a loss to kick the season off

I'm not sure why West has suddenly altered your thinking from seven days ago.

 

[Deliverance]

Probably was hoping that Leuy would be sole ruck. I dumped Hmac as soon as Simpson was brought in.

I don't think many people do!!

 

[JohnnyDrama1]

Didn't think he'd be picked.

 

[shotgun_blues]

I don't think many people do!!

What do we do?

Go a Hampson-Sandi-Hickey combo for cash and cover or hold tight for a rookie to emerge? I can't see one getting a game soon at all.

The problem with selecting Cox as R1 - you have to wait until Sunday night to know if it was a good choice (at least by round 1 standards).
