What to do with Jack

[ElwoodBlues1]

I don't think we are trying to turn him into a part time ruckman.
I think Jacks ability to play that position in short bursts is the only reason he has been selected in the side at all.

I said it in the pre-season that we are too tall by playing all the players we 'should' be playing.
Harry and Charlie are a given up forward.
Pittonet and TDK are supposedly best options for the team as rucks (i disagree)
Weiters and Young were locks as key defenders.

On top of that, we want to play McGovern/Marchbank (if he's ever fit enough)....which is now Kemp as '3rd' defenders.

Thats a very top heavy side which we are trying to play Jack in as 3rd forward as well.
TDK offering SFA allowed Jack to come in and do his thing......the trade off being he needs to take his whacks in the ruck as well.

If TDK was able to fulfill his role as a part time forward, Jack wouldn't get a lookin.
So its in his best interests to get a game this way.......or try and take out Charlie/Harry.

My thoughts on the 2nd ruck role has been well documented. I think for team balance we are better off with Jack playing that role rather than TDK, otherwise, Jack doesn't fit.

I'm with the latter theory that Jack doesnt fit and I think he knows that and will want out to another club as had been rumoured.
