The Great Ruck Debate.

[kruddler]

I'm not sure we're good enough...yet.
That will play out in the next few weeks.

But even the best of teams wouldn't operate solely on the above basis.
You need to pick a team that the oppositition finds hard to combat, but also you need to find a counter to the opposition weapons.
The 'rise of Cincotta' is a testament to that.

I reckon what we've seen in recent weeks is a bit of experimentation, and a bit of resting of players.
While some selections may have seemed a bit strange they're probably well thought out.
But that experimentation and managing should wind up, and the focus needs to turn towards first making the finals and then securing the best possible position.
The first shouldn't prove a huge challenge...

But lose today and our percentage is poorer than the 9th placed team and we're only a game ahead.

We are good enough.

On any given day, we can certainly match it and beat any opposition team put out there.
Are we good enough to make it certain? Not yet.
But, play to your strengths. The moment we start changing our team, weaken it, to play against the opposition is the moment we start going down hill. Some of the recent changes may be proof ot that.

re %....
We have one of (if not THE) easiest run home from here. I expect our % to take care of itself a little bit from here on out and some other teams to fall.

The ladder doesn't lie.....in our case it shows we've had games against tough opposition.
