Position 2019 Rucks

[stevebbb]

so what are we all doing if Grundy or Gawn say, does a 2-3 week ankle?

Save yourself the stress and don't even think about that

Who is the obvious R3, that's the question.

Got Sweet currently, yet i'm tempted to start with a DPP just for flexibility (bring in Hoff) if Gawndy goes down.

That's what I have done.

Bines allows me that option.

+2
Added bonus is 2 premo rucks playing all the bye rounds with the Grundstien combo. I know it's way early to think about byes but my current structure sees:
21 rnd 12
21 rnd 13
16 rnd 14
Happy with that for now

And English named 1st ruck with Trengove not in team. Anyone game?

But WCE don't have the best fixture for loophole options.

What do you do in round 5, round 9, round 14, round 17, round 19, and round 23 when they play on a Thurs or Friday night?

Only 7 sunday games. I like the RCK/FWD idea, i just can't work out who's the best option

By round 5 you'll probably have an injured or dropped rookie. Will definitely have one by round 9.

Anyone worried about Preuss being named first emergency for Melbourne? He could come into the side over the next few weeks which might see an impact on Gawn's scoring.

Nope

It's a concern.
However, teams almost always name a back up ruck as emergency, in case their no. 1 ruck goes down in training/warm up. Doesn't mean they are close to playing.

Yes. I would be trading Gawn if i had him

This seems more active than the forwards thread.

What's everyone's thoughts on Lycett now that Dixon is basically ****ed for the foreseeable future.

Obviously plan to use him as ruck coverage but in the forward line.

Wait and see. No need to start him really since we dont need ruck cover just yet. His scoring was pretty shithouse last year even when he was number 1 ruck. Ryder will still get more ruck time than him too I think.
