The Great Ruck Debate.

[Lods]

Nice work getting the thread back on topic LP ?

It was never really off topic.
Threads are a bit like a snake...they sometimes go where they want to go and if the snake catcher isn't there they can make themselves at home.  

Kruddler gave an  example of where 'no real rucks' worked for us.
The debate then turned to the quality of the opposition at the time, which has to be a factor in assessing the ruck impact.
In isolation posts may have looked 'off topic' but in the context of the debate....they were relevant.

That's one of the issues with the whole debate...the number of variables and factors that have to be considered.
And that leads to different points of view as to what is best.
If we have a full list to choose from I struggle to find a place for two rucks if it also means finding a place for Cerra, Cottrell and maybe Motlop.

We could be facing that situation in the next couple of games and it will be interesting to see how the match committee approaches it.
