Currently got Grundy and Nankervis. Grundy could be downgraded to Sam Jacobs or Goldstein, to free up some cashola.

Avoiding Kreuzer like the Bubonic Plague.
 
Anyone seriously considering two 250-300k blokes at R1 and R2?
Would be tricky as you'd need extra trades to get the cash for the topliners, would want to have a plan to flick after around 8 rds or so...
You'd have 650-800k to distribute more efficiently, at the risk of being down infinity billion points if your boys shit the bed / the guns go off their **** out of the gates.

SandiWitts worked in 2017, dont see why it couldnt again - distributing the funds and covering the points is the important thing.

I don't think i can. I had Preuss as R2 but didn't feel overly comfortable with it so i've shuffled the deck chairs and turned him in to Goldy.

Absolutely will consider.

In some ways more risk if you start with the topliners. Every year one or two cheap rucks make the leap (either coming back from injury or breaking out). Unless Gawn or Grundy start ripping out 130+ consistently from R1 you'll be behind the players that choose the right cheapie.

A lot of contending players will be completing their rucks during the byes I expect especially with Gawn and Grundy sharing the same bye. You always have Danger, Fyfe and one or two other mids to provide c/vc options if you leave one ruck as a late upgrade.
 
The top 2 rucks of 2017 only averaged 109 & 103 though
With the 150k saved for Goldie and 15/20 points down you could make that up pretty easily on the right midpricer,
like Libba and co.
Still think I'll take Grundy and a cheapy.

Im thinking Goldy and a midpricer like Lycett, Hickey, Naismith, Williams

Can someone explain why Goldy was so out of favor last year, and so in-favor this year ?

IIRC at the end of last season, the universal agreement was, hang the price, we're getting both Grundy & Gawn ....my what 3 months does to change minds :p

This indemnic fear of the 2nd ruckman .....has it actually been a reality for any team or SC scorer in the last 2 seasons

I had Steff Martin last year, when everyone feared Archie Smith & McInerny .....Martin had his best & most consistent season

I had Stef the year before and Archie killed his scoring, Fagasaurus only played Arch for 6 game block and in that time he only averaged 87. His average over the last 5 years is about 105.
**** gave up on the Archie experiment last year and only played him 3 times.
 
In 2017 Pruess played rd 1-4 and 19-22.
In that time that he shared the Ruck duties, Goldy averaged 74, his average over about 6 years is 110.

Shall I go on?
What was Tommy Barrass average in grand finals mate?

I wonder how many Goldstein fans started with him this year.
He was absolutely woeful for half the season before he turned it around.
Plus using the argument that Preuss has left is strange given he didn't play at all in 2018 and was not the reason Goldstein scored 57,76,77,88, 77,69 in a run that when coupled with the shitness that was Old mother Hibberd and Billdick ruined my SC season.
 
Way I see it, by splashing the cash on Gawn or Grundy we're asking for a 130+ output from the get go. They're gonna drop in price pretty much no matter what, but by not starting them you're running the risk of missing the boat on them at upgrade time cos of shitshows elsewhere on the field. The value to be had by not starting either of then is bloody insane. At this point I'm running Gawn and Mummy the juicy midpricer, chances are that'll change every twenty mins for the next three months.

He had some mental illness thing or some shit going on in the family I think. Once that got sorted out, he was good as Goldy.

Check Goldy after his bye, simply outstanding
