Will Jonathon Giles really be worth keeping the whole year? His current form says yes and he is a mature age recruit meaning he won't drop off like Zac Smith. Coming up to byes though the problem is Giles sharing a bye round with my other ruckman Nic Nat. Is it worth copping the donuts (or donut if reserve plays) or ship him out just before his bye round? I am sure many people are wondering what to do with him as well....
I'm keeping him unless he starts playing really bad. Like the old saying goes........"If it aint broke it don't need fixing".
I have H-Mac, Kruezer and Giles (along with Big O) as my ruck unit. Hate seeing a bigger score on the bench each time. It's a huge dilemma on what to do with that situation...
I downgraded Hale to big O a few weeks ago because I got sick of Giles outscoring Hale everytime Mcauley played. So now I plan to keep Giles - will be easy enough to trade him out if he drops off later in the season.
Current setup is Sandi/Kruezer/Giles/Redden - no-one going anywhere until after the byes. Then it will depend on form and how much cash I need.
Keeping him until after Rd 10 at least <leading into his bye>. Better ruckman out there but most have started the season running on 3 cylinders. This will change.
One thing about rookies, if they keep hitting their BE and the BE stays under their average, you have to probably keep them.
I expect I may cut him once we're through the bye rounds. He's doing a great job for me at the moment. However I do expect him to run out of puff as the season wears on.
I was thinking yesterday on whether I will trade Giles or keep him as my R3 for the rest of the season. I have Sandi/Cox/Giles/Redden Giles has filled in a few times for me this season. At this stage, I think I am going to keep him as my R3 for as long as possible.
I'm gonna keep him, gotter big dramas than selecting under performing rucks. Kruezer is stinking it up
As far as i see it, he is 1 round from mooing, and i need the cash to get danger (if i decide to hold smurf). So he is more than likely gone for jenkins this week for me. I just need Redden to play round 11!! (Sandi/NicNat my others)
I think i'll keep him. Unless you have a few trades to burn, to get the cash. I think for most of us the trades could be better used else were.
