Most are quite rational in response to these issues.
Statistics convey meaning, they are a language, whether you argue with numbers or argue with words you are still making an argument. If statistics don't convey meaning then why post them?
If someone genuinely thinks that somehow a solo ruck isn't going to be required to cover more ground, and not have to get from end to end across the playing surface in quick time, I can't help them, I'm not sure anybody can assist because the assertion they won't need to do so is utterly ludicrous.
For some opponents, a solo ruck gets to run head to head with a direct opponent, but in the case of Port Sweet tends to drop behind play and Dixon takes over in F50. I presume we aren't going to surrender ruck to Dixon in Ports F50, so our 1st ruck will be the one who must get there leaving Cripps to compete at ground level(with those other players who run end to end). That means to cut the ground covered we leave Ports 1st Ruck against perhaps Harry( or apparently even Cripps given TDK isn't running end to end with the other on ball brigade :
), not ideal.
Perhaps we could do something sensible in D50, ruck Weiters perhaps we have spares don't we, surely Dixon is a nice lad and wouldn't do a Xerri? Maybe you're right, let's leave Weiters out of it and ruck Cripps in our D50 and leave TDK up the field to mark on the lead! :o
Of course this week, it's Pitto getting across the turf solo!
