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.
I think its horses for courses.......Lycett and Ryder are decent players and more the physical type of ruckman who want to bang bodies, think you need the extra help to combat them.
Two weeks in a row now they have ganged up and worn down Gawn and now Philips...
re: Swans...Been running Sinclair with Sam Reid as backup ruck....much like us with Philips and Harry so I wouldnt be playing the extra ruckman this week.
Philips and Lobbe isnt ideal as neither are much chop down forward and it does mess with your structure and rotations...I guess our old friend Levi is the happy medium as he can offer something down forward..
re: Kerr.....impressed in the ruck in the twos as he mobile and handy around the ground but alas I think opportunities will be rare unless we get some major injuries....
