Luenberger is very cheap for what he has traditionally produced, but at the end of the day, you want the most fantasy points you can get, so if you think Ryder and Hickey will produce more, then there is no shame in backing yourself. If you’ve got it right, you could rocket up the ladder.

To go on with the ruck talk at the moment, my ruck combo is Ryder and Hickey, most of my mates have been saying get leuenberger for your 2nd mostly because how cheap he is, one of the other forums on this website said that hickey is showing more then McEvoy at the moment and might get the starting job, is it a good move or a bad one

Eebz, absolutely! I’m just suggesting that this rule change will widen the gap more than ever, and man-mountains like Sandilands and McEvoy will have less individual impact and probably lower fantasy scores. At the same time, 2nd rucks hitouts/disposals/fantasy scores should increase across the board.

Anyway, time will tell.

@Brett – website looks great mate! I’ll be in touch via the website. Will you get the enquiries that are posted on there or do they go to someone else?

@2011leaguechamps

That’s a great call, although let’s be honest – it’s already the fitter ruckmen that thrive in this comp…right?

3rdMonkey, I noticed one of of the other websites where coaches were posting their teams that a lot of recent teams had Daw as the 3rd ruck, think that article had anything to do with it?

You’d think teams with two strong rucks would benefit from these rule changes and teams without current ruck depth might struggle (Geelong?). Think we might not see the real affects until half way through the season once teams work it out…

A really good video explaining & showing the difference between last year’s ruck rules & this year’s new ruck rules:

Should give you enough knowledge to work out how it will impact any ruckmen you’re looking at picking.
