This guy is still my second ruck but is going after this round. I had a plan to hold him as cover but I just can't carry him as second ruck. Absolute spud.

He's good for a solid 50, your guaranteed that each week. Unfortunately he'll probably still in my team for a few more weeks.

Same situation as me. Just don't have enough $ to get someone decent for him. Will be in my side until his bye :mad:

BE of 142 this week so hopefully will be around 520k rd12. I was hoping for Maric but would take Jacobs at that price. Also keeping an eye on Nic Nat.

Sauce/Maric would be good to get in, can't even bring myself to have Bellchambers in the Forward line i'm just going to roll the dice for no cover i think.

Doddy I am thinking the same. TBC has left such a bad taste in my mouth, I don't think I could be happy with my side even if he was at F7

He's sitting at r3 for me for the year now. He may be a total potato but at least he is best 22 and will play every week. Even if Brooksby keeps his spot I still would be more confident in having playing DPP cover with him on the bench. That said, he is right at the top of my "never again" lost for this year.

I upgraded Salem to Goldy early on pushing TBC to F6 and now he's F8. Personally I feel that is the best path to solving the problem and I'd be targeting a cheaper Jacobs in R12. I reckon the cover is worth it if you can upgrade a forward to a ruck rather than TBC to a ruck (provided you have a R/F at R3 like Read or Cox).

Also be creative with the cheaper ruck options in case there is a cheaper (easier upgrade) option on a run currently as a stepping stone or a potential keeper. Like Naita last week at $428K for example.

I'm liking Bellchambers to that dog crap you stand in, you keep cleaning and cleaning but it seems to stay in the tread of your shoe and the smell just wont go away!

What an ordinary selection he has turned out to be. Thought he would be a solid 70-80 but just shocking. That being said I think I may hold him until round 12. Would like to bring in Martin this week but just can't justify it with a week off. Although there is talk he may miss this week so may force my hand.

Well Tom has been subbed off at the 1/2 on a huge 30! Well looks like i'm going to have some sleepless nights ahead to try and figure out, just how i can make you disappear. Does anybody know someone? Willing to pay.

TBC to Brooksby? I'd love to do it but Brooksby was quite and probably doesn't have the necessary JS to act as cover ...

Wouldn't surprise me to see Tom dropped, after last nights insipid performance the axe just might come down pretty hard.
His head i think will be one of the first on the block. Will be a hard decision though, tossing up between Mummy/Sauce or today's game pending maybe even Nic Nat.
