Now all we need is a fit ruckman and who knows how many more we can tick off?

Who's likely to be availabe this week Crash?

@GTC

Ouch! That defence looks a little shakey GTC. Could we rob the ruck to shore it up a bit?  Wink

Put Rowe back there and play Wood/Gorringe? Probably. Gonna be tough at the selection table no matter how you look at it. I guess if Weiters is ready, he comes straight in.

Yep, selection will be interesting alright and I'm awaiting with anticipation. Hopefully Weiters will indeed be back which will make life a bit better. I think Rowe will probably have to spend some time rucking but I don't like the idea of him as 1st ruck.

I think Levi's debut was in a similar ruck crisis  situation in 2012 when both Kreuzer and Warnock were injured.
If Gorringe in available, pick him,  if he's still injured, pick Wood.
Probably way early, but if we concede that we re probably going to get smashed in the ruck anyway, an the two guys mentioned above aren't available, would it be worth even considering the young American dude Korchek just so there's a big body to compete against Goldstein, and jus tell our mids to rove to Goldy's taps.
We need Rowe down back due to North's triple pronged attack of Petrie, Waite and Brown

Gorringe may be our only option in the ruck.

Wood has been injured and is a rookie. I am not sure we have a LTI vacancy on the senior list to upgrade him.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

Hmm, rucking Rowe is sacrificing three positions, CHB, CHF and the Ruck.

Perhaps the best deal is to rotate all three remaining talls through the ruck heavily, and leave Goldstein without a set opponent to be never quite sure what he will be up against.

Otherwise, bring the big American in and let him tag Goldstein to hell! Probably a loss, but it will be a great learning experience and it's unlikely to affect our 4 goal win! Big Grin

The American is a rookie and can't come in!

That's a pity, could have been interesting seeing him out there giving Goldy a bit of attention.  Smile
