Not needed when we can just take one ruck, ruck Casboult and bring the likes of Jaksch and SOSOS in. 2 rucks means either one rests at FF, where key forwards are no good, that hurts our forward line alot, or we play two key forwards and two ruck, which hurts our run. I know which way was best, as was borne out on the Collingwood and Port games.
We'll play two rucks. Can't have a game like today where we got absolutely no service.
The Saints would have based their match strategy on getting the ball on the outside and running away from our mids. Our plan would have been to make it a contested ball situation at the stoppage.
We couldn't that because their ruckman put it anywhere he wanted.
Phillips will be in next game because GWS have even more speed on the ball.
and effective ruckman don't clog up space, they create a mismatch in the forwardline .
