Subbed at half time in a team that had no other actual ruckman... Yep, he's gone. Right before the 3 weeks of the year where we actually need him to play. Who's up for some vigilante action?

Kept him all this time. On the bench, purely for ruck cover. Now almost certainly going to get dropped just before byes!

I'd love to take action on him ... but what? He's my ruck cover. Could go up to Ryder. If Ryder was getting a game. Could go down to Boothby ... but he played a pretty poor second game. Could turn him into a keeper forward ...

Tommy has one more week, only because he plays this week. Then i'm seriously thinking Sauce will be owning my R2 spot, and i will never again pick on assumptions, this i'm hoping will be my lesson learnt from this 2015 season.

I seriously think he'll be dropped, just to rub salt in the wound!!

I won't mind at all if he is dropped. I have managed to get 20 playing this week and am hoping he is dropped so he doesn't depreciate anymore than he has.

Anyone looking at young Brooksby as a potential trade-down from TBC?

(Like many people i made the mistake (in hindsight) of starting with TBC in my FWD line as RUC cover - with a R/F rookie as R3. D'oh.)

Brooksby seemed to play a mix of forward and back last week - and with GC's enormous injury list he is best 22 by default for the time being at least

Strongly thinking of going down from TBC to Brooksby (and switching my R/F onto the FWD line bench) - will give me a bit of (not awesome, granted) ruck cover plus create $192k cash which will be handy for upgrading over the byes. Just need Brooksby to last til Rd13 when Goldy & NicNat are on bye...

I think I'm more keen on going TBC up to Ryder. The main reason is trades.

If I go TBC down (1 trade) then I'll have Reed sitting around on the forward line bench doing nothing ... so I'll have to trade him to someone (2 trades) ... then if Brooksby gets dropped I'll have to trade again (3 trades?).

Whereas if Ryder is back from injury it is a single trade and about 100K cash.

Seeing that I only have 17 this week is a pain but that is quickly turned into joy as I can finally get rid of this spud. I was going to go McIntosh to Hamling but just for my own personal satisfaction, its TBC and welcome big Sauce :):):)

Contemplating TBC to Kreuz and having Kreuz as ruck cover. Getting pretty low on trades and think it'll be $ well spent in second half of the season.

Tbc is a spud. I'm glad I can vent and share the rage with you guys.

Screw the fwd/ruck swing for cover, if my rucks cop an injury I'll just trade out from it.

Going Bellchambers to a round 12 BYE forward or defender (swing Higgins forward). Thinking either Deledio or Kade Simpson.
