Todd Goldstein ($499,100, 164, 112.67, 90)
Dean Cox ($519,200, 108, 122.77, 147) – I promise he won’t get mentioned next week.

Mark Seaby ($374,600, 105, 84.33, 109) – While Mummy’s away, Seaby’s gonna play. What happens when Mummy gets home though?
Tyrone Vickery ($354,200, 86, 70.77, 47)
Special mentions: Andrew Browne, Nic Nat, Sam Jacobs, Andrew Browne, Jackson Trengove, Zac Clarke, David Hale, Max Bailey, Tom Bellchambers, and a couple of first gamers: Dawson Simpson ($180,000, 83) and Matthew Lobbe (R/F DPP)($196,300, 78). Job security for Simpson a bit of an issue with Ottens and Vardy likely to return this week.

Like the cheap option of Lobbe. Free up some cash by trading Sandilands. leave Cox and Smith
Yeah me too. Any chance of a pole on Sandi replacements?? Please
Finally, The Rucks 🙂 just what I’ve been waiting for. Someone to tell me what to do with Sandi
Hmmmm – Still no further on.
Im keeping Sandi, I know its stupid but he should be back for the finals and that would give me a POD. Plus im in the top four of all my leagues and im only going for league win. Its a marathon and im looking at the end of the race. Plus there are no other rucks that I can see besides Goldstein (I have Cox and Petrie). If he isn’t back for finals I can still swap him for the in form ruckmen come finals.
I’m no expert but there’s no guarantee Sandi will be 100% when he gets back for finals anyway. Turf toe = torn ligaments and who knows if what happened to him in R14 is going to happen again in R20 or whenever it is he comes back. I can’t afford to have the $$ sitting on the bench in the meantime. For me, Sandi goes this week.
I’m still sVing a trade for smith to sandi for the finals…after he gets a bit of a run of coarse. Can’t see a gf win without him
has Lobbe got good job security? i’m tossing up between him and KTippett as cheap replacements for sandi that open up my fwd link to Petrie. Anyone else in a similar dilemma??
Thumbs up Lobbe
Thumbs Down KTippett
9 trades left and a handful of cash. I want 6 trades for the finals so I have planned these trades for the coming weeks … Duigan > Fisher; Richardson > Callinan; Krak > Pav.
This means Z Smith will have to fill the gap. He is not a bad backup with an 88 avg (top dozen rucks in the leauge and played more games than most).
Having said this I will be watching Lobbe closely over the next week or two. Because I could be swayed to downgrade Sandi to Lobbe instead of recruiting Callinan.
hale or lobbe for sandi ???
Already have cox and smith
