The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[LP]

For those interested, Dermott Brereton's opinion on the top 10 ruck men currently.

It's a fairly obvious list, and it's a tell.

Our blokes just aren't having any effective impact on the result, even last week with all the taps from Pitto it appeared English was more influential in just a handful of game moments. That's because measuring the ruck by taps alone, regardless of effectiveness, is way over-rated.

For me Pitto lacks the same impact in defensive positioning, that's his go and when he does that we get more from McGovern and Weiters. In F50 TDK draws defenders, he's a significant risk and can't be ignored, also when TDK rucks in F50 that allows Harry, Charlie, Cripps and SoJ get to rove and they are all above average mobile for KPPs / Talls.
