Quite well. He's our clear number one. Read an article the other day and he's improved his fitness and put on more muscle so hopefully he's in for a big year

If Nic Nat isn't named round 1, Hickey will be my back up option for R2.
Great news. Someone told me recently cant remember who, they said he was still injury affected and I should look elsewhere? Is he a good value target?

Great value target. Will play 22 games and average 85+

Will his body be able to get through 22 games? I thought he was a bit injury prone

How do you figure he will play 22 games. Has been injury affected his whole career, and there is no certainty that his trip to London will fix his issues for good. He could play 22, but I wouldn't be penciling it in at this stage considering he still hasn't had a full pre season.
The only positive in that area is the lack of back up options for him, but that just means if the Saints choose to play him for 22 games, there is a good chance he will be under done for a few of them at least.

He is a ruckman and they often get injuries early, but I'm tipping him to be fitter this year. And he has had a pretty full preseason btw

He only started back with the main group mid Feb. Was on what he called a mini preseason before that.
Thats why I'm looking seriously at Z Smith from GCS!

You're worried about somebody who's injury prone, and so you're looking at someone that in 3 seasons did his ACL and then hurt his knee and is coming back from a knee reco?
He's played 54 games in 4 seasons. That equates to roughly 13 1/2 games per season. He's as injury prone as they come.

Nope. I'm just ignorant of heaps of footy shit!

Can I choose option C, none of the above?LOL my bad.
Who of the two would you pick timtam on courrent fitness, health and JS?
If not, I would go Hickey. He doesn't have much competition and healthwise they're roughly the same. Smith has Nicholls to put up with and you could make a case to play either one. Out of Hickey and Longer, Hickey gets the job 10/10 times.
Actually can I choose option D: **** you ruckmen stop getting injured and give us a good option?

Jacobs & Z. Smith
vs
Mumford & Z.Smith
vs
Goldy & Nic Nat
vs
Maric & Minson
Also no one seems to be mentioning Sandi? Any reason why, is it his age? I think he could be a great POD. Could go him and Nic Nat/Maric/Minson/Smith.

Injury I would think with Sandi these days, which ties into his age. Goldy and NicNat for me. NicNat could really explode this year.

There's talk of playing him as a FF for a few games. When Sandi is a keeper, you don't want those low scoring games.
Also I like the last option out of all of those.

He played 21 games last year though, only top tier ruckman to play more was Jacobs with the full 22. Yea Goldy and Nic Nat is looking good. Currently my lineup is Sandi and Nic Nat, the two WA boys. Feels like the good old days of a few years ago!

Yea that was my second best option. Would be great POD's as well as not too many are going Minson and especially not Minson and Maric together. Both at that price where they probably won't drop much at all with the rule changes and might slightly go up still. Both are CLEAR #1 rucks in their teams and predominately ruck solo. I think as I am typing this I am talking myself into it....

I've got goldy and NN. If fit I reckon they'll both be in the top 3 or 4 rucks for the year, and neither are overpriced

Talk of Sandi playing more in the square as a threat and to preserve him a little. Zclarke will get some ruck time and groomed to eventually be 'the man'

It'd be handy if he could not play and let jon griffin be "the man"

Only issue is that they all share the Round 13 Bye. (Except Wright who is a waste of a spot imo, in both cost and potential to play)
