Be that statistics that suggest that (which i 100% disagree with as well - in fact i've said the opposite).....but you can't provide evidence of that either.
I don't want to continue this debate in here, so i'll end it with this.
Playing 1 ruck means you have a ruck on the ground 75% and bench 25% of the time (TOG 75% give or take)
Playing 2 rucks means you have a ruck on the bench 60% of the time (TOG 70% each give or take) and 1 ruck on the ground 40% of the time.
What happens when you are playing 2 rucks, but only have 1 on the ground for 40% of the time under your scenario??? Does the world end? Does the whole system break down??
OR does someone else take a ruck contest that the sole ruck on the ground couldn't get to......even if that is a 'thing' that may occur in 1% of scenarios.
Maybe we should play 3 rucks just so we always have 2 rucks on the ground at once so we never have to worry about a ruck missing the 1% of contests they might miss in your scenario.
Or do those statistics not work for you?
If you are so worried about the distance a ruck has to cover, play him exclusively between the arcs.
If you are so worried about the distance a player has to cover, you should be more worried about the mids who have to cover more ground because they have 1 less rotation in the team due to you requiring a ruck to cover a scenario that happens 1% of the time and still has a 40% chance of happening even with your extra ruck!
Again, stop making stuff up just for the sake of arguments.
I suggest that stopping the posts might be a good idea, because stuff like this item below just doesn't make any sense at all, and your posts are littered with such assertions. Is time disappearing into a black hole?
