Suns will be looking to make ammends.
If we give them a sniff, we are in trouble with no rucks.
So we need to get on top early and they will fold.
Do we play Casboult? He'll be next to useless for most of the game. He'll lose the ruck but can't follow up like SOJ.
Do we play McGovern? I'd be more inclined to play him as at least he can play at either end....and he has a better leap than most.
Do we play McDonald? Not sure he is quite ready but is probably someone inbetween the other 2.
I think Cripps/SOS ruck combo is worth exploring.
No matter what we do, we won't win the ruck. So do we try and get as close as possible to 50-50 in the ruck, or do we go the complete opposite and concede the ruck but increase our ability to win the stoppages by playing a 'small ruck'. I reckon the latter.
