D.Cameron and LDU were my sorta-PODs from rd1 >_< Guess I need to find some cash to get up to grundy or witts. Hoping LDU is back this week
any reason why Grundy didn’t even get a mention when talking about a replacement for Cameron? listening around 33m in & the lads talk about Darcy, Nank & Witts as options if you can’t get to English, but not even a passing comment about the former Ruck Pig..
Gawn is 4-6 weeks away, so its delaying another ruck problem, however its a trade I’m probably going to make anyway
Grundy for me
I spoke with Roy after and said we should have mentioned him! Oversight. But hard to totally back him in due to Gawn’s return. We already trade enough in rucks. That said, he’s definitely a good option if you’re willing to go in with the knowledge of getting out in 4 weeks time.
Any news on Setterfield? went off very late in the game holding his hand.
Apparently a dislocated finger. Hopefully all good.
After losing Xerri and Gawn, at least I didn’t have Cameron this week.
I knew another ruck would go down…
