2012 SC Rucks

[Mattrox]

I'm looking into a Minson/Hale ruck combo....Should make similar points to Cox/rookie combo.

 

[Hawkthorn33]

Brogan will be out round 1 and most likely eased back into it... Makes Giles a very viable option to play on field as your second ruck man

You're almost sure to want to upgrade both though

Redden and Giles on the field. I'm gonna go for it (honey)

 

[halfback dasher]

Broc Mc will now become our no.1 ruckman .

 

[IDIG]

Any word on how long Brogan is likely to be out?

Are most people off Leuenberger now that Hudson appears like he'll have abit of a role this year?

I was considering going back to a 2 premium ruck combo but with the news about Brogan i like the idea of Giles as R2 alot more now.

 

[Watsclarkosmob]

Minson and Maric or Kruezer and McIntosh?


Kruezer and McIntosh seem to be the popular choices but both are their teams number two ruckman. Minson and Maric seem set to be their teams number one for the year.

 

[ThePezDispenser]

Neither

hale will ruck.......

 

[Mattrox]

And Hale's pre-season form looks good. Just waiting on this round.

Minson and Maric or Kruezer and McIntosh?
.

I'd go Minson, will be the sole ruckman now (unlike McIntosh or Krusezer) and has looked impressive in the NAB cup.

 

[PumpyChowdown]

4 rookie ruck for me. High risk, but the reward is potentially massive.

Is Sandilands looking like he will be properly fit round 1?

 

[Mattrox]

6 HOW'S

I agree, too much chance that the rookie warms the bench. Better off doing a 4 rookie back, 2 rookie mid and 2 rookie forward. Spreads the risk. You would want at least a Minson, I maric or even a Hale if you were being cheeky. Someone that will score consistent points and hold value; that is a great upgrade target.

Is Sandilands looking like he will be properly fit round 1?

hasnt been 100% for 2 years but that hasnt stopped him scoring massive, who knows how Lyon will manage it (played N Roo injured for 2 years flat)

 

[halfback dasher]

hale will ruck.......

.Yep , as the no .2

 

[Daniels]

Thoughts on Jarrad Redden, can he hold down number 1 ruck spot?

Has looked impressive in the NAB Cup.

I think he can be this years Zac Smith.

Renouf is a spud and Lobbe is still a while away from resuming so you'd say that Redden will get first opportunity as no.1 ruck at port.

Redden rucked well again big Cox a couple of weeks ago and it was a great effort.

I think he is worth the risk starting on the ground as R2.

Basically my thoughts too. Just seems to be some sort of doubt that he won't be number 1 whole season, only early on. One of those real make or break spots if I decided to run him at R2

 

[pie_punter]

even if he rucks the first 6 games which im hoping, then can upgrade to best performing ruck

 

[Judd_Magic]

Who do you guys like best as number one ruck for my sc team out of Leuenburger, McEvoy and Jacobs and why?

 

[Pedsy]

I haven't noticed much talk here about Mummy.
Any particular reason?

 

[Mattrox]

On Hale's early stats I think he is firming in my mind as a 2nd ruck.......

 

[pie_punter]

The start of the season is making ruck selection very difficult with Mumford and Giles playing the week before everyone else, knowing who to start Giles or Reden and who to select Mumford or Sandilands.

 

[Atavistic]

I haven't noticed much talk here about Mummy.
Any particular reason?

I think his injury history makes a few people nervous.
