this new may be important to those considering picking up lobbe as a key ruckman

[Ziplock]

imo, neither of these were massively DT relevant.

But without a pre-season under his belt, with Lobbe have to contest with someone else for number 1 ruck? Renouf worth a look?

[Colliwobblers]

does a ruck need a huge pre-season, will it make much difference to lobbe or port his missing the pre-season, as for hitchcock well yeah irrelevant anyway.

[SydneyRox]

Neither of these players were on my radar so no big deal. But can a Port adelaide fan tell me who might now get an oppurtunity?? I smell a smokie!!

Redden could be a chance now

[Grazz]

yeh Naste nailed it Redden could be the smokie, Port in the wars early, i hope for their sake it not indicative of 2012 for them.
