The Great Ruck Debate.

[laj]

Are you somehow asserting our Cripps, Walsh, Cerra, Hewett, Kennedy midfield need no ruck at all?

You could no doubt get away with it. Especially with our blokes. Melbourne did. Tap outs these days are an overrated stat. How many times have we seen sides barely win a tapout but smash the opposition in the clearances. A number of times.

I'm not against not contesting a tap occasionally and have 4 on the deck. Seen that work in the women's game once when the ruck got injured.
