Its hard when your rucks are not much value anywhere else on the ground but you cant let the opposition wear down your one ruckman and then take over in the final stages
and help win the game.
re: Robbie Gray......looked a poor game from him mainly because he didnt kick his usual bag then you look at the clearances and he was the 3rd best clearance player on the ground with 8 and had 27 possies. Port threw him on the ball when it mattered and he delivered.....
We're $hit with 2 rucks. We'd only play worse and might not be in the game anyway. Be counterproductive. Win a few extra taps but get smashed everywhere else and end up.worse off. Nowhere in our side's structure can we play two rucks anyway now bar the next 2 weeks.
With Charlie out would prefer to play a small or bring in Levi if you really want a relief ruck. We may even chose the status quo, so to speak, and pick Kerr.
