The rise.... and RISE of Marc Pittonet

[LP]

Maybe it's just me but from what I've seen of him, despite his size, Harry is not really a very physical player. He comes off second best quite often in the physical clashes and in the process often looks to get hurt and takes a while to recover? I also get the distinct impression that he does not relish ruck work and consequently we seem to minimize the time he spends there. I don't mean to have a go at him but that's just the impression he creates for me.

Agreed, it stands out when guys like Young and Harry are forced to ruck, they go into their shell.

The last thing we need is to put a Coleman medallist to the sword just to save 10% bench time for a single role. The 10% saving gets distributed across all the other interchanges, delivering on average about 10 extra seconds a piece, so I'd assert the impact to the bench and rotations  of running one or two rucks is greatly over-stated!
