The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[kruddler]

Yes, but unless we're kicking 30 goals per game, or unless we become a stoppage obsessed team, most of the time he's on the ground he's not actually practicing the part of his craft that allows him to tap. So the other aspects of his game must also be taken into consideration.

I wasn't expecting anywhere near what he has delivered, but I wouldn't be going the early crow just yet.

15 times a quarter (on average) is when he is able to stamp his influence on the game purely as a ruckman.

Thats probably more chances than most.....and whatever else he gets around the ground is on top of that.

I think its been so long since we have had a dominant ruck that we've forgotten what type of influence they can provide in the stoppages.
