Before changing the rules, Cripps used to be quite effective as the third man up in ruck contests around the ground. I'm not sure why we have smaller players trying to out muscle larger ruckmen in the ruck. Is there any reason why we can't have our ruckman running in from the side when contesting at stoppages around the ground? If anything it could nullify the effect of the bigger opposition ruckman and lead to an even contest. Of course, if we set up for such a play, it could be advantageous to us.
This strategy wouldn't be used for centre ruck contests, which TDK should be capable of handling (with some assistance), but around the ground, I think it can help.
