    Hadn't given much thought to rucks after opening with Maric-Giles-Jenkins-Redden,
    was lucky they turned out to be set and forget for a while.

    Jenkins/Pyke/Redden probably still the best downgrade options given a lack of 100k rookie rucks.
    For best upgrades there's only nic nat IMO.
    I was going to go Giles - NicNat if Giles wasn't named, now not sure, but if I don't do it now, will have to wait 4-6 weeks for his price to come back down.

    Pyke the best downgrade option this round.

    How on earth did you pick Maric to start with? The others sure can see the logic. But the mullet??

    I just didn't trust starting pricey rucks until seeing a few rounds,
    wanted a 0/1/3 ruck start,
    Maric was the highest rated mid priced ruck based on preseason / TOG / expected return for $$'s spent.

    To be honest, it was a toss up between Maric & HMac,
    I'm sure it sounds ridiculous, but because of something I was reading at the time,
    I decided to go with whichever had the longest ring finger & then started looking through photo's.
    & all jokes aside, I'm serious about that, it was my deciding factor between the 2.
    That same experiment being applied to choosing between rookies also.

    Bomber- two strong ruck combo at the business end. Consider a 94k F/R and may be look at Roughie in your side for cover.

    IMO - Cox and Jacobs
