List Mgmt. Trade & Draft UltraThread- Warning, May Contain Speculation #combinethethreads

[dajesmac]

Didn't we collectively start that rumour a few pages back?

Hahah okay caught out for not reading. IMO it's a bang on theory, I buy it.

 

[Godfather32]

How would he be first ruck if Naitanui is still playing and still better? What does "first ruck" mean in the Upside Down?

That aside, you've nominated one target. He's nearly 24 and has played 1 game. Who else?

I'm assuming that Naitanui will miss games with injury, so if someone has gone past Hickey by then, they will take on the role of first ruck during the games Naitanui doesn't play. First ruck is self explanatory...
He's at the age where a lot of rucks start to play well, he's my target, no one else.

 

[dajesmac]

If that was the case would we not have just traded him last year though? Not surely how highly I’ll think of him if he’s just stayed to do a Kevin Durant ring grab and jump ship. A year is a long time in footy too.. you’d want to lock up your future asap at his age and I’m not sure if staying a year, risking a bigger contract, would be a great idea for the relatively uncertain chance at a flag (we’re looking alright at the moment but history shows it’s hard enough to win one, let alone go back to back).

He probably didn't want to leave in disgrace which it probably would have been if Derby 48 was his last game. By signing him for an extra year he does us a big favour, we can trade him for decent compo rather than lose him through FA and we keep him on the roster for an extra year which aids our premiership tilt.

I think he felt it was the morally right choice for him to commit for another year, he's probably going to avoid intense media speculation this year and he's also got a chance to win a flag wid da boiz.

Apparently not. You're describing a capable understudy to Naitanui.

So if Naitanui isn't playing we just don't have a first ruck in the game?

We have a ruckman but they are not our first-choice ruckman.

 

[Godfather32]

I didn't say first-choice ruckman, I said first ruck as in the main ruckman on the ground. As opposed to the second or backup ruckman.

Anyone can be "the main ruckman" if everyone better is injured. Wtf are you talking about?

Is "first ruck" in the hat with the other new jargon rubbish that doesn't mean anything? Like "pure midfielder" and "genuine CHF"? Shoot me now.

Naitanui is our preferred ruck for the foreseeable future. Are you talking about a player who could surpass Naitanui as our first-choice ruckman? Or are you talking about a player who, in the event of Naitanui going down, could do the job, a la Lycett?

I heard from a reliable source that Sydney's management are heavily into Darling.

Listening to Gaff on the most recent podcast would suggest he isn’t going anywhere. He said he wanted to be a one team player and described how happy he was with his decision.

I think it's pretty obvious but I'll try and spell it out for you.
Do you think Vardy is good as the main ruckman? Do you think Allen would be good as the main ruckman? Both are more suited to the backup ruck role.
I would like us to recruit someone who will be a good option (within a couple of years of recruiting them) to play as the number 1 ruck/main ruck/first ruck during a game of football. I believe this because I think it is quite likely that whoever we recruit will have to play a lot of games as the number 1/main/first ruck by then because I believe the odds are good that Naitanui will be unable play every game in 2022 given his age and injury history.

My point throughout has been that we should seek a readymade upgrade on Vardy in the ruck, regardless of age but subject to price and availability. You seem to think Cameron is the only option worth pursuing.

If you agree with the need, that is a weirdly narrow solution.

I heard that Sydney are going to offer him a 10 year Buddy type deal

I'm just that high on Cameron.

After his 1 game. Ok good luck.

Thomas Amos playing reserves EP , PJ reckons he has big potential as a mobile ruckman play Colts with SPP or Ajang Ajang .

If we could get Jackson I think we would stuff midfielders we have done okay .

JoshWoodenSpoon good thing we’re adding lines of code atm.
This won’t be good news for Matera92

Can’t say I’m quite keeping up on that front, all I know is I voted yes for more lines.
