It worked well in the PF for a large part of the game.I reckon you are right GTC but the success of Joe Daniher, Mason Cox etc as key forwards who can ruck means other clubs have to try and emulate what is on trend so we have to try it too with Harry and given he has played the role in the practice games Id expect us to go in with only TDK as a bonafide ruckman. When Nankervis or the like knee Harry in the guts/nuts or he does a knee they will probably figure out its not going to work so well for us and Pittonet will return. I thought the idea of Pittonet doing the heavy lifting and softening up the opposing No1 ruck early so TDK could come in later and use his athletic prowess to take over games was working fine..
Im sure one day TDK will be the solo big dog in the Ruck for us like OMac and Gawn. From what I have seen of Tom to date, he isn't there yet and the 1-2 combo of him and Pitto is what works best for us right now. We'll know by roughly this time in 3 nights.
