Here is an article about those darn rucks for 2024 in Supercoach.
The move up to Sydney as their numero uno ruck should see a return the golden days for Grundy. Discarded by the Pies, surplus to needs at the Dees, Grundy will certainly be out to prove his dumpers who wronged him. A must start as ruck for most teams in 2024.
There is no doubt that Gawn is a Superstar. And a Supercoach Super Premium. However, last year saw some odd positional and potential resting issues for Gawn, which cast doubt on his consistency. When he’s invested for big game, he’s Captain material.

It’s a yes at this price, and many will return to the Gawn+Grundy combo of yersteryear.
Under appreciated by the Supercoach world. Generally dominates taps, often to himself. With the growing nature of the Gold Coast medifield, more of his taps will be adjudged as “to advantage”, which could see a 10-20% increase in his average.

However, many coaches will find better value going with the old trusty Gawn + Grundy model which bucks the inflation trend, providing great value compared to previous years.
