Might tempt you in 8 years priced at 45 average

In all seriousness though, I've made a new rule of not starting the season with KPFs anymore. Too much of a roller coaster early. And relatively easy to upgrade to If the need arises
Rowsus , with the changes to the interchange cap and most teams going with 1 main ruck and pinch hitter type any chance SC will drop the 4 ruck line to 2 and give us a extra def and fwd or just 2 more mids since the game is now just a midfielders game .
or just 2 more mids since the game is now just a midfielders game .
But seriously, I can't see them changing the structure in the next year or two.
It is a little hard yet to be confident, but history has shown the top Rucks by round 8 are usually the top Rucks at seasons end.
You are probably familiar with the fact that I like a PIT system to determine these things, rather than a straight best average or best aggregate analysis. In most years I have used PIT75 for the Rucks, as their has been some semi-reliable back-up Rookies on the bench. That's not the case this year, as Derickx 39 shows on the weekend shows. He was the only Rookie Ruck to play. I am thinking of using PIT50 on the Rucks this season. Keep in mind too, how fragile Rucks are. Looking at the following data, we should all expect to eat at least one donut this season, or hope that a Derickx etc is playing the week our Ruck isn't.
In 2011 1 Ruck played all 22 games, 4 played 21 and 3 played 20.
In 2012 1 Ruck played all 22 games, 4 played 21 and 6 played 20.
In 2013 8 Rucks played all 22 games, 1 played 21 and 1 played 20.
With the interchange cap we should be thinking more 2011, than 2013.
Keeping that in mind, and the more important fact, that what you really want to know is "Who will be the top Rucks from here?", here is my guess to answer your question with the PIT50 points I guess they will score from here until the end of the season:
Goldstein 1911
Minson 1895
Cox 1888
Jacobs 1848
Mumford 1784
I'm quite prepared to say they could be miles off though!

Hi Babylove.
There is no doubt us Titchell owners should be concerned. Is it Titchell, or the Swans in general that is the problem? I'm not sure on that. Dimma showed us last season (with Zorko), that we can carry one or two underperformers while using our trades elsewhere. If you have no other trades to do, and can find a replacement you are confident in, AND you can reach that replacement with one trade, then fix him, otherwise use your trades elsewhere, or keep them.
Sorry if that isn't an exact answer, but it's along the lines of what I will be doing with him.
EDIT - sorry, forgot to answer the Parker/Breust part of the question.
As I said in Trade Tables last week, I think Breust has done well if you started with him, but it's probably best to not get him now. If it's out of those 2, get Parker.

Hi Rowsus, After Rd 5 if Dunstan can pull an 80 I will be trading him taking the cash and upgrading a defender to premium. If L McDonald can also pull an 80 he should be around 310 to 315k. Already have Swallow, Hooker, Enright, Mitchell.
Looking at Bartel, Simpson or McVeigh. Any suggestions or preference?
