Anyone running with a non-standard ruck combo at the moment? Who you got?
Who’s performances over the last 3 weeks have floated your boat?

loving kruz right now averaging 113 over the last 3 and 119 over the last 5!
Maric a big concern for me. Thinking Kreuzer and Leuy are good value at the moment. Maybe even McEvoy. Of course Minson and Goldstein the standouts this year given season-start prices. If only I had enough trades to luxury trade.
Still crying over ditching Leuy when he went down injured
I have the Burger and Nicholls, and have been very happy with thier output.
Would love to upgade at some stage but have used the money saved from the rucks to bolster my Mid and Backs
Running with Minson and Leuenberger… I doubt that combo will fail spectacularly again for the rest of the season. Having Blicavs and Nicholls on the pine pumping out 80-100 scores weekly isn’t half bad either!
If a trade was forced I’d probably just sit one of the guns on the pine and ride the rookies scores.
As of now, with Jobe out of action and with only 4 trades at my disposal, I reckon I might have gotten the rucks to a ‘set and forget’ position.
Running with Mcevoy and Nicholls, although Cox is forward with Mcbean on the bench in the rucks.
It’s a weekly decision to see who will play out of Nicholls or Rockliff/Buddy, by using the Cox DPP.
It was always the plan to upgrade Nicholls to Goldstein once Nicholls hits his peak, but with 5 trades left and Jobe to trade out this may not be possible.
Cox and Nicholls (who is holding his own in R2)
Witts and Currie on the bench. Roughie up FWD for some flexibility.
Waiting on Nicholl’s to peak and then upgrade to best Ruckman for finals campaign.
I’m fielding Blicavs and Nicholls lmao.
Only because I’ve been using Cox up forward to cover in Stevie J’s absence. I may move Cox back to the rucks this week but really it’s who would I rather field, Staker or Blicavs? Tough choice.
Nicnat and Nicholls on the field with Rowe and Blicavs on the bench. Also have Roughy and Cox lurking in the Fwds.
With Nics Nats injury concerns i’m a bit worried his scores might suffer in the run home. Have enough trades in the bank so is it worth trading him for Goldstein or one of the movers?
Had Goldy and Big Boy McEvoy all season with Cox in fwd line and Currie my loop hole option, McEvoy has been a little quiet over the last month but is back in ton territory again.
Have to give a shout out to Goldy for filling in as Vice Captain last week as I missed out on having Pendles or Swan VC, if Goldy failed then the C would have went onto Watson but instead went to B Wilson!
Last round trade McEvoy to Minson (plays Melb) might be on the cards!
Have Leuenberger & Cox with Blicavs/Nicolls on the bench…..last 2 weeks tho its been Leuenberger and Nicolls with Cox up forward to cover Stevie J via Rowe DPP….really happy with this combo….Nicolls and Blicavs continue pumping out 80-100 on the bench and using Rowe/Cox combo to cover any casualties up forward…
Premiums:
Matthew Leuenberger $504 100 Avg: 100.5
If you picked him up near the start of the season you wouldn’t have been alone. He served his purpose well, but after an injury to his thumb many of us jumped off him. He’s repaid the ones who kept faith with scores of 102. 112. 115 and 121 post-bye.
Todd Goldstein $551, 800 Avg: 113.64
I seriously considered Goldstein in the pre-season but decided against having him thanks to the fact he could be shut out of games. He’s not only kept his spot as North’s number one, but dominated to be one of the premier Supercoach ruckmen this season. Averages 115.87 at Etihad this year, and has 5 of his last 8 games at the venue.
Ben McEvoy $445 300 Avg: 100.4
Only in 5.9% of teams so is a good POD. Solid performer who is probably underpriced by 50k atm. If you’re looking for a cheap Ruck option the Saint could be your man.
Mid-Pricers:
Orren Stephenson $364, 300 Avg: 83.7
Plays when Maric is out; not very good JS but if the Mulleted Man remains sidelined he could get some gametime.
Tom Nicholls $325, 500 Avg: 97.6
Reasonable scoring output for his price. Still good value and should make you some money.
Rookies:
Drier than my comedic wit.
My rucks look good, Mison, Goldy, (Nicholls, Currie)
Have Goldy & Nic Nat (Nicholls & Currie), also have Cox & Rowe in Fwds… wished I held on to Leuenberger though, as Nic Nat has been a let down the last 2 games & haven’t been able to use the Emg loophole and use Nicholls’ scores! Thinking about placing Nicholls on the ground instead… but you just never know with Nic Nat!!!
Im running with minson & kruz on field with nicholls and gawn on the bench. I picked up kruz for 380k when luey went down so a waste of a trade really but i cant complain. Only five trades left so set and forget now.
Just traded Maric (600K at start of year!!!!!) to Stevie J (switching Cox to ruck
NicNat, Cox (nicholls, currie)
Stevie J, Bartel, Franklin, Rockliff, Martin, JJK (staker, 96K rookie)
TU – Good trades
TD- Bad trades
Running with Goldy and Luey on the field with big Ivan and Nicholls on the bench. Been that way pretty much all year, with the exception of dropping Blicavs for Nicholls a few weeks back.
Got Cox, and Roughy up forward, so as a whole, I’ve been happy with my rucks most the season……. The Backs though…… Don’t get me started!
Got Goldy, Maric, Nicholls, Moller with Cox running in the forward line all season.
Happy with what i’ve got but i’d really like the Mullet to hit some of his 2012 form. In some ways, i’d almost prefer Maric to stay out of the team this week so Nicholls gets to play against Orren rather than have my R2 and R3 robbing points from each other.
What to do with Maric.. Tempted to move Cox to ruck and bring in Stevie J..
Yes/No??
