2021 Ruck Options

Think it's way too early to drop Grundy, there's every chance he smashes it next week.

Agreed, I certainly wouldn’t be doing it... however I do wish I took a different path

Feel like we have the GG R1 panic every year now lol

Grundy has 1 ton from 7 R1 matches, yet people still panic?

There are other correctional trades I would prefer to do than take a punt on dropping Gawn or Grundy.

2,369 Grundy trades already, surely people can wait another week?

People are way too reactive. Yes you need to trade hard, but you also need to be smart. If you lose another 50 points this week is it really going to matter? Probably not. You're not losing cash until Round 3 so I don't see the point in trading unless people still think it's like last year and prices will change after 2 rounds?

And the other thing to consider is picking the right rookie, jury out on both Meek/Hunter.

Getting the rookie pick right seems to be more of a trap than holding onto Gawndy.

I am not moving on the GG combo at this stage.

If looking to go cheap though Stef Martin at 272k well worth the look given they way boith he and English worked together.

[IntegralX]

Yeah I’ll be holding GG for now especially given I probably have to deal with danger but if Grundy can’t rack points up against the blues surely that’s alarm bells ringing?

If Cox spends more time in the middle then I will consider a swap with Oliver, also need to ensure Flynn backs it up & either Meek or Flynn survive another week.

I've been looking at the Saints ins this week and I'm thinking Hunter could be dropped. King may come in for one of him or McKernan and they preferred McKernan down the stretch of the Giants game

[RaisyDaisy]

I've been against Hunter and Meek as picks, but only time will tell

Hunter got thumped by Flynn on the weekend - how will he go vs Max this week?

Hitout win percentages in Round 1:

Max Gawn 63.8% (ranked 1st)
Paul Hunter 33.3% (ranked 19th)

On the bright side, you get a loophole player who may earn some dough throughout the season. The danger of course is being subbed on for 5 minutes. There will be some season destroying decisions where this is concerned, could be a 300 point penalty if this does occur.
