Pittonets ruck work around the ground is sublime. I just don't notice him after that. TDK follows up his ruck work, takes more marks and threatens to take more. He is yet to hit his prime.

TDK follows up his ruck work, takes more marks and threatens to take more. He is yet to hit his prime.I did a comparison the other day with those 2 around the ground. I'm not going to find it again, but its somewhat of a myth about how much TDK actually does.
Yes, he definitely 'threatens' to take more marks, and he looks good doing it, but in the end, its an empty threat.
Maybe its the blonde hair. Maybe its the headband. But he gets a lot more attention put on him than he deserves based on his actual output.
I'd love nothing more for the guy to reach his potential (or even get halway close) but he is a perennial tease and needs to pull his finger out because potential doesn't cut it anymore.
As bad as the hawks rucks were at taking advantage of a situation they should've dominated, like REALLY dominated, it shows that 2 rucks is a luxury not worth having if it hinders your team balance.

We should all remember that. Especially Pittonet.

I saw Docherty and McGovern in my local coffee shop here in Perth this morning having breakfast.
Happy to report McGovern appeared to get through uninjured!

Hewett the sub.
Overcast and windy here but only about 30-40% chance of rain....the wind will make it tricky.

Vossy interviewed pre game and said the start is super important. Every time I have heard him say this in 2023 the game has been over at qtr time.
