Will go with the 3 ruck strategy - at this stage its Xerri, English and Cameron. Subject to change.

Ahh damn it!!don’t forget luck
Knew I forgot to put that player in my team the last few seasons.
‘Flukey Luck’, think he is only a fwd this season.
Will probably score a few 100’s with goals after the siren to win the game the way scaling works.

I was listening to a podcast the other night .....the coach had the (C) on Gawn the week he went 180 ....he had the pre-game fitness on a hammy IIRC ....every switched on coach jumped off Gawn, but because this coach was out on a family outing, he missed the news & got Gawn's (C) score
I also was out on a family outing and missed LDU pulling out 3 min B4 a game ....and I copped his donut
This is the definition of luck .....I obviously missed the handout

I think we all know bad luck stories for those who have played 5 years or more. Too many to count now.
Last season for me it was spending 6-8 trades on rucks due to bad press releases on their injuries.
Which should have the same rules as EPL where they have press embargoes. And only release information once it is confirmed.
Not the gossip type press we have here in OZ, where the award goes to first to say something, even if incorrect.
With so much money in the game now involving the gambling industry especially being the media and the press’s major sponsors advertisers.
Really there should be penalties for making up or inventing the news instead of confirming facts.
I call for a Royal Inquest!!!
If only we could get the gambling lobbyist’s out of the halls of parliament.

Not worried that in this scenario (without a R/F) that you're locked into the Flex position without any way to manoeuvre (except trade out)?

Except you can manoeuvre out like any other position using an R/F in your R3
Flex Ruck to R3 .....R3 R/F to Flex, and then swap with any FWD (assume bench fwd)

How many Rookies are your sides ending up with on-field?
I'm struggling to have fewer than 6-7 on-field rookies

If you do this you're left with 3 premo rucks R1, 2 and 3 meaning one of their scores doesn't count (assuming it's not a bye Rd and all 3 are playing).

You only make that move if one of your R1 or R2 have a 1 week injury / suspension
And you can trade someone out then back in again not costing a trade. A r/f at r3 is not essential.
Maybe it is later in the year but not to start.

Getting scared not owning Gawn, pretty keen on the 3 premo ruck Gawn/Xerri/TDK combo, but if Flynn gets through the preseason matches, does well, and plays rd1, you just gotta take him as the flex.
