Ruck Combo’s

Written by Motts on March 30 2011

You only have a limited amount of dollars to play with in this game. Funnily enough the combined value of Cox and Ryder ($845,000) is very similar to that of Sandilands and Warnock ($853,300). Do you think last week’s stats are representative of how all four of them are going to score for the season (Cox – 165, Ryder – 141, Sandilands – 134, Warnock – 117) or do you think things will change as time goes on? Its time to vote, which combo do you like more?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

  1. sandi & Cox are the most consistent ruckman with big scores. Can’t see the bombers ruckmen pulling in big scores every week… we’ll see though.

  2. Ahhh, Mr. Motts, sir, you talk of Cox/Ryder versus Sandi/Warnock but give us voting options of Cox/Hille versus Sandi/Warnock? Hope I’m not being too pedantic here……I voted for Sandi anyway, whatever combo the big fella is in.

  4. Good move with Vickery I think.

    Definately one to watch this year – Had a very good pre-season, the Tigers are looking to him to take steps forward this year and he played well on Thursday night. Was involved as the link man out of defence on a couple of occasions and looked competent enough to think they’ll keep using him there all year. Good signs when you have Newman/Lids mopping up back there most of the time, means he’ll get it on the tit and won’t have to fumble around at ground level.

    At worst will he’ll make you enough money to get an established scorer in for the second half of the year.

  5. Sandi/warnock combo for me. I’m hoping warnock will appreciate in value enough so I can upgrade to Sex on the Beach. Got Vickery on the bench. I know that’s a lot of bench $$$ but I figure I’ll need coverage, thanks to the byes, and I’m praying he’s a pretty little earner too.

  7. Was originally contemplating gay sex but decided beach sex was far better

    …. Sandi and Cox are clearly the beez neez of SC rucking circa 2011. They will consistently poll 110+ scores with their lower scores around the mid 90’s. And with Hille you always have the everpresent likelihood of a few weeks on the sideline due to some act of thuggery.

  8. Wouldn’t it be funny if people just read you’re first sentence without knowing what you’re on about?

  9. I just picked Sandi and Cox.
    expensive but with one of them captain should guarantee me 400 points every week.

  11. How many ruckmen scored over 100 this week?

    I had McCox combo – McOvoy and Cox and was very pleased for score vs outlay.

  12. Gidday Motts….and all his followers ( yours too Big & Sexy)……
    Personally i have COX and the Petrie / Hale combo thingy going on for the bye thingy that has been served up to us this year. – Thank GOD i get to rest Hale this week…… he might just sneak in to my fwd line.
    I am lucky enough to have a Math degree.( and a crystal ball) and the Cox / warnock combo is clearly the best option…..BECAUSE, as Motts says, we only have LIMITED funds………. IMHO Cox will actually score more points this year than the Giant, given he has no lower back pain ( touch wood), will rest fwd ( as oppossed to going off and giving Nic Nat a go ( and COX CAN kick goals) AND Nic Nat has had a very poor build up and is carrying a significant injury himself…… Cox WAY under the odds at 428k ….pretty confident in saying if you add Cox and Warnock’s scores together come rd22 and divide by total cost, they will come out on top of any other pair….. GIVEN no significant injuries to either – and none of us can allow for that……….
    Only other possible combo is Cox and Petrie………….fingers crossed……..

  13. Let me make that black and white for those that figures do not come easy to……..
    Sandi – 554700, Cox – 428,200.
    SOOOO going on last week Cox score, Sandi should have scored 213.74 to be value for money………. but then really, he still isn’t……… because you can spend the extra on a mid premium……..
    So he is nearly 80 points behind “value for money”…….. IMHO………..

    Anybody agree….?????

    Love the game……..love it……love the site…………ONLY one I look at after round one

  14. Nice clinical analysis PC
    Unfortunately though, most such assessments are required to have certain assumptions to achieve a measured outcome. In this case you’re assuming an increase in scoring average from the Cox/Warnock combo. I agree with your value judgement on Cox however when there are so many uncontrollable variables at play it is very difficult to make an assessment that is other than subjective.
    How about using the stats unit of your degree to enlighten us on some trading strategies with respect to timing and content.

  16. He was in the NAB Cup, and still dominated….. I can only reccomend you watch him in action….. I haven’t seen him move the freely and look as fit in a few years.

  17. PC (Politically Correct), I agree with the Cox scenario… back to his best, and IMO will be a better scorer (most weeks and overall) than the Giant…. subsequently, he is clearly the better investment of the two. Now if you can’t have sex on the beach (Cox & Sandi), then next question is, what do you want with Cox (snigger)….. Well it could be one of many depending on strategy and cash: Jolly, Hille, Clark, Warnock….. but one that everyone has written off is Big Ottens…. IMO the third best Ruck in the comp, and the added bonus of no Blake (dumped) beside him which means he becomes the sole Ruck (prob Hawkins helping), and goes forward and kicks goals, and stong contested mark. Scored a ton week one, and didn’t play great…. he played a full pre-season and played all practice matches which is very unusual. Seriously worth some thought if you don’t have two of Cox/Sandi/Mummy…. esp given we all have some ruck cover this year should he miss a week or two, which was absent in previous years.

  18. Coxy’s improvement was in his movement around the ground accumulating posessions (28 in first 3 quarters) not his tap work so it wouldn’t have mattered who he was up against. He played like a ruck rover and must have had close to a dozen handball receives.

  19. If it wasn’t for the heat and him cramping he probably would have had another 5-10 disposals. Will have a huge year if he can avoid injury.

  20. Deano & Big Sexy – very astute comments boys – thanks for the advice/tips/help/4 points…….. ( for you Pabs)

    Sexy – i think it will be out of Ottens and Petrie for best PP$

    Deano – ‘Trading strategies’ change weekly. I am lucky in that don’t have to trade…..but thinking of offloading Buckley for Curnow….worried about his Job security……..?????

    Gd luck on the wkd boys
