I watched the game and him in particular very closely apart from costing us 2 goals to frees he had no fking clue how to palm the ball to any sort of advantage. I reckon they could have used Daniels on the ruck and Pit wouldn’t know how to exploit it. Bombers did the same thing last week used a kid against him cause they know he has no clue.
You trying to defend his ruck work is like me telling you Casboult is a great AFL footballer based on the stats I throw at you.
Both are lucky to be 2nds standard but we have no stocks to turn to so they keep getting a game.
It's been the huge weakness, Pitto is a break even ruck, he'll probably break even with Gawn. But when he should he doesn't dominate an opponent, and when he gets a clear hand to the pill it's more often than not heading to opposition advantage.
If you can get the replay watch De Koning's game form earlier today, gets a clean hand puts it down a team-mates throat!
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
