Ironic, the SCG is the ground where you'd probably get the benefit of 2 rucks without the negative of less run given its dimensions.

Same as it's always been....
It's never a case of one setup gives you a greater advantage every occasion.
That comes down to individual circumstances, strengths and weaknesses and match-ups in individual games.
In these situations you will gain in one area but you will lose in another.
That's the balance that the coaches have to determine.
It also depends on how the individuals themselves are playing and what the opposition does.
Pitto and De Koning weren't outstanding but they limited Gawn's influence and that gave us an edge around the ground. De Koning was also involved in the tactics to keep Lever out of the play. If either of them have a shocker, we're behind the 8 ball.
Another midfielder might have given us more run but at the cost of allowing both Gawn and Lever to run amok.

Last post by pinot -If Pitto misses, me thinks those who believe he is no good or believe in the one ruckman (TDK only) might learn a valuable lesson.
