The Great Ruck Debate.

[kruddler]

Nathan Buckley made some good points this week about the ruck. Showed that the sides that have had the most hit outs have only won 49% of games.

Was there a hitout to advantage stat?

Been saying it forever, hitouts is 100% useless. Technically, you can win every single hitout and direct every one to the opposition and the hitouts stat will say your ruck had the best game in history.
