Given our ruckmen are useless when not on the ball we are essentially playing with 17 most of the time as you can only play one of them on the ball at any one time. Jaksch will have Casboult's problem of being one out against the opposition defence. We been pumped each time we've had two rucks and just one key forward. This time it's a young player still developing and building strength.
I agree about only having one key forward - Jaksch is up against it from the start - but there's nothing wrong with playing two ruckmen. However, ours are each spending a third of the game on the bench because they are not effective as forwards. We need to come up with a better way to use our ruckmen and/or find ruckmen who can be a genuine forward target in support of our key forwards.
