Yeah I’m not sure if Preuss is worth it over Hayes if he’s splitting ruck duties. Can Preuss can higher than 75 if sharing ruck duties? I don’t think so.
They both played in preseason together and pretty sure preuss tonned up

Preuss with Flynn, yes scores lower, but not massively and there will be games he rucks alone, don’t just think this week, think big picture.

The way the coach have been talking Preuss seems to have the number 1 ruck role. Injury is the main risk.

I’m not comparing him with Hayes as I think he will be good too.

Feels irresponsible to burn another boost and trading out Grundy but I feel like it makes my team better. Surely Grundy can still average 100, but is that aiming too low?

Grundy, JHF, Hinge out for Heeney, Bailey Smith, Rosas.

Do most people still have all of their boosts?

Any thoughts are appreciated!

Burned one and using my second this week.

Likely using a 3rd next week too.

One last week, one this week and maybe one next week. Only really planning on keeping 2 for the byes and after that they are useless in my opinion as your team should be done or close to by then

Funny how these curve-balls seem to be always be exacerbated with ****ty fixtures. I mean English out and both Hayes and Preuss playing the first game of the round - someone upstairs has a **** sense of humour.
Loop Hayes forward and Preuss in the rucks and use English/Xerri to pick the better score solves this problem somewhat, until both score massive and then...

Probably depends largely on the share but given Preuss' fitness it's probably preferable if he's rested forward compared to the pine, he's the better ruck so he should get the superior amount of ruck time as well but he was only playing 70% of game time anyway so could well be a 70/30 split and not be any different to previous scoring.

Starting Hayes on ground and looping Preuss to avoid this.

Not sure how Flynn will affect Preuss’s score but Hayes has scored quite well when playing with Marshall so feel like that’s less risky. Only time will tell.

Is Preuss still a must if you have JHayes at R3 to cover English?
My concern is English is out for more than one week and Ryder returns to displace Hayes.
Then I have no cover.

Hinge on the wrong end of a lot of trade proposals this week - anyone thinking Sloane being done for the year might actually help his cause a bit?
I wish this was the case but seeing he hasn’t made the team…..any injury updates on him from Crows fans?

I think you're right, but I'm leaning towards getting both. Preuss averaging 75 is still way better than the other rookies around 200k,

Think I am going to change plans, didn’t like having Martin stuck on the mid bench & having both Rosas & Hayes on the field.

So thinking just JHF & Rowell > Preuss & Smith - 3 big 100s out of 4, BE 45 & nice draw makes him so appealing :-

This way I can loop Preuss fri pm (can swing Xerri up if poor score) or if Hayes scores poorly I can put Durdin on the field & sub English to the bench.

Thoughts?
