It's now or never!

[kruddler]

That line of thinking is based on the assumption that something that hasn't worked in the past will never work.

Maybe.

However, i'd prefer to think of it as THIS is what is working, and it hasn't been for a long time, so why try and change that? For what benefit?

People accuse me of playing favourites with Pittonet. That 'favouritism' was based on nothing more than output and stats.
TDK is putting in career best numbers right now, and i don't care if Pittonet is fully fit, I am not picking him. There is no reason to pick him.

I've said all along i couldn't give a stuff who our number 1 ruck is, as long as they are performing. Despite Pitto performing as well as he ever has this year, he lost his spot due to injury and that sucks for him, but he doesn't get back in until TDKs form drops (if it does).

The point is, that i don't want 2 rucks. We don't need 2 rucks. Nobody needs 2 rucks.
Some teams play better with 2 rucks because their team dynamic is different than ours.
Some teams will be more susceptible to 2 rucks (or 1 ruck) based off their own team dynamic.
However, we need to get teams to try and beat us.
When we play 1 ruck, we are tougher to beat.

People worry about our backup ruck getting injured in the ruck and use that as an excuse. Times are different now. That same player is more likely to get injured elsewhere around the ground than in the ruck. When was the last player to get injured in a ruck contest? I can't even remember.

1 ruck.
Right now its TDK.
EOS.

EDIT: Its similar to people who want TDK to play back. Why? We finally have him performing the way we want......why change it?

EDIT2: ...and right on queue...
