I think one major issue is we are very height imbalanced.
our talls cannot play football once the ball hits the deck. Rowe, wood, Levi, Watson, all lack the necessary agility below the knees and that must have some effect on our lack of run.
I think we can only afford two of the above in the line-up.
Until Jamison and Hendo come back we are stuck with Wood and Rowe. once they are back, I would drop Rowe and add Kreuzer to ruck/forward in a tandem, play Henderson chb, Jamo full back and Jaksch forward with Jones.
Casboult stiff but wood is our only capable ruck on our list, whilst Rowe is probably one of few winning his position more often than he loses this season.
Kreuzer's a great ruck but an awful forward. Casboult will ruck with Kreuzer. Wood won't play. Casboult's work around the ground is too valuable and the only one likely to be able to play as a key forward while not rucking.
Doesn't matter. While Mick's there we won't get any run anyway. He lost the players long ago. To get run firstly you have to put an effort in.
Key positions will be Jamison, Rowe, Casboult and Henderson with Casboult do some ruck work too. Jaksch will play a 3rd tall role for now at some end of the ground. Better in defence for his sake as he won't be getting a kick forward right now. Who would?
