We are not the only ones thinking about it!.

Love this...

l think it's a good problem to have, all players should lift given the 4-way competition for 3 spots, but if one of them doesn't the choice will be obvious

*and just a left field thought......a year at CHB could do amazing things for Reid's development as a power fwd

I would think Mummy is one of the premium ruckman of the comp and for that reason i would have Mummy and Pyke for now ahead of Ryder and Bellchambers.

Exactly, anyone who watch the game on the weekend would have seen a dominant display by Mummy in the fwd line. If he had kicked straight it would have been even better, he missed 3 shots that he normally would have slotted.

.... but it doesn't really count. Not saying Mummy isn't a good forward but 'dominant against the GWS' shouldn't be included in the analysis....

Certainly not the leagues defensive yardstick! But Davis, Mohr, Gillham and even Bugg, they are solid.

and between the 4 of them they are half the size of mummy......

a 110kg Ruckman against young defenders who are a lot shorter are going to get beaten easily every time
