Really stuck with my strategy this season regarding the rucks. With my ideal team (Pending Rookie selections) I just can't fit both in to start with. I've gone with:

- 3 x Premo Backs & a 400k gamble.
- 4 x Premo Mids & juts below 500k 5th mid.
- Currently on Grundy/Draper as my rucks
3 Premo Fwds and Dahiner as my 4th FWD.

Rest of the spots will be filled by rookies, I just can't seem to fit Maxy in at his price even if i trade out Draper and swap Daniher to a kid I'll miss by about 70k. God damn these prices!!!

I understand the problem!
atm I'm by-passing it altogether by starting neither Gawn nor Grundy.
Which, of course, simply delays the issue to sometime mid-season.

Maybe look for a couple more value MIDs, rather than 4 Premos, that will free up some cash. There are a number of good options from $480k to $550k.

Yeah looking into it hehe cheers...

But my theory especially for the mids is if you start with anything over $480k you're sort of stuck with them or else its a burn trade unless injury of course. I've gone with Rowell for now and the rest are over the $580k mark. Decisions.. Decisions!
 

alrighty then

Looking at your structure, i don't have that many premium forwards, which allows me the extra cash. I think i have 2 at the moment. Also have Cripps, Rowell and Taranto as cheaper mids
