We did against Melb because of Gawn and Jackson, likewise Richmond with their 2 big guys, but the Doggies in reality only had English. Pitt and JSOS could have got the job done and as it turned out De Koning had very little influence on the game.
Hawks??......Reeves and BiG Boy who now treies to hold down a key position.
Do we need both Pitt AND De Koning??
At half time, the boys were raving about how our 2 rucks were dominating the game. How they compliment eachother and how they offer an additional tall target up forward.
Having Pittonet in the ruck allows us to use Harry as a 'get out' option out of half back, who can find Charlie for a long down the line, and kick long to the marking target of TDK up forward. Doesn't matter how far up the ground they go, there is always a marking target to kick too.
Both play.
They offer cover for Charlie/Harry as well.
