When he’s not rucking, Jack plays as third tall forward and pinch hits as key forward when Harry or Charlie have a spell.
He has taken more marks on the lead inside 50 than any of our other forwards and is also very effective when leading up the ground and kicking inside 50.
It’s nonsense to suggest that he’s competing with our midfielders for a spot in the 22. His only competition for third tall is McGovern, or the rucks if we go with two rucks. Of course, Jack played as 3rd tall forward when we had both Pitto and De Koning at the start of the season.
While I’m disappointed that Jack is out of the 22, I understand the thinking behind it. Jack should benefit from a light workload this weekend and will be back, probably against Brisbane.
Isn’t it great they we have genuine competition for places in the 22 and the omission of players leads to much debate.
