case in point

 

[gutsroy]

Can see value in Boyd pts/$ wise, but not enough to see a selection purpose on the whole.

 

[Flandersss]

But all he will need to do is avg 75-85 like Witts yeah?

I've gone Gawn/Stef fwiw

I'm thinking similar .....rucks killed me last season

People who went Gawn / Goldstein killed it early over me who had Nic-Nat / Stef .....combined points of approx 250+ killed my 180 point average .....and thus my SC season

Not gambling this year with rucks

Ryder alert!
Few coaches had Lobbe as BOG in the intra club. I hope this is just a horrible dream.....

Rucks change from year to year. Last year Stef was seen as a relatively safe pick where as Gawn was seen as more risky. And Goldy was a surer thing than the sun coming up to go huge again, but those that started with him would have actually lost ground on those that took NicNat and invested the saving wisely elsewhere.

You are rewriting history. No such thing as a sure thing in the ruck line.

PAFC website after the match had the coaches rate each player. People on PAFC board even said Lobbe took a mark...I'm sure they were just trolling though.

Yeah, i though they were good picks at the time ....Nic-Nat / Stef

Hope i can get it right this year .....Gawn & Steff?

We can't play Lobbe, Ryder, Jacko in the same side

Nothing to worry about
Ryder is still rusty

 

[markm106]

I think get a couple JLT games into Ryder and he'll be fine. Forward lock for me.

I don't like Gawn. He's 30-40k more expensive than a Selwood or Kennedy in the mids. And I'd back Selwood or Kennedy to outscore him.

Personally I'm a real believer in picking starting rucks for value and using trades once you see who the best choices are. Yes you lose in the ruck to those that pay top dollar but you more than make up the gap by investing the money on other lines. It doesn't really even cost you in trades because you're locking in extra keepers on other lines.

Really getting keen on Witts. His job security was the main concern but that's looking safer by the day. At 217k you want an average of 75 or so and I think he'll manage that. I'm more confident picking him at this stage than some of the 200k rookies on other lines. However R1 teams and the number and quality of starting rookies and other cheap picks will be the final deciding factor.

failing miserably, as they know Ken wont play Lobbe, Ryder, Jacko in the same side....

Hahaha failure is something I'm very good at in supercoach. You are right though, round 1 should see a Ryder/Trengove ruck combo.

Ryders poker trick. Fools everyone and than goes bang 95 100 rnd 1

So, if Ruffy is out for the Dogs, does Campbell or Tom Boyd become ruck?

Boyd IMO

 

[scaryness]

Blood young English. They were stoked to get him at their pick.

 

[Double the Fist]

Boyd IMO

Mid priced cash cow?

Mid priced cash cow?

Nup, still won't score enough to make it worthwhile
I'd go Sandy for an extra 20k

 

[markm106]

Not sure Boyd will score high enough to justify a pick. Take Witts if reports he is number one ruck are correct.
