Which ruckman this year can replicate what Will Minson did last year?

Maybe not the same but likely 60/40 to mummy.

I reckon it will be more 70-30, mummy loves the work load!

And also can you play two rucks when you have Camero, Boyd and Patton up front?

Yeah, no way he can fit in, otherwise I think Giles would perform well as a forward. He played a little, as a defender in the NAB, but I don't think that will work.

Sauce Jacobs, anyone?

Don't you just hate the trolls! ::)

Lobbe. I'm all over him.

tor01doc · March 07, 2014, 05:15:27 PM

All this fuss about Lobbe just goes over my head.

No fuss. It's just me I think.

tor01doc · March 07, 2014, 05:22:51 PM

To finish the point, I'd like to smash Lobbe away.

Wouldn't be able to mate. It'd be a Federer lobbe.

:-\
Right at this point of time, leuey to rise up the ruck ladder. At seasons end I'd envisage two of Goldstein, Minson, Cox, Naitanui or Leuenberger filling the top two spots. ???

tor01doc · March 07, 2014, 05:31:58 PM

Yes

Baisically all you have to look at is who will ruck alone.

Minson and Goldy are good ruckmen but they scored so well because they did it alone.
The same reason Maric was a big success the season before.

There are players that are still capable of scoring well when sharing the ruck duties but its a lot harder to be consistent.

Looking at the rucks that will do most of it alone this year..

Jacobs- Will likely do it alone again although even at his best isnt a massive scorer.
Leuenberger- Trent West may be used but if he's not, lock him in.
Ryder- Would be a lock if Bellchambers was gone for the season
Goldy- Will dominate again but you pay a premium for him
Lobbe- Potential breakout
Hickey/Longer- If they go with both then forget it but if they play one and not the other they could have a big season
Minson- Same as Goldy
