I really don't know what you're on about LP
Blokes who nominated to contest ruck contests (absolutely stupid rule) included Thomas, Charlie Curnow, O'Shea and (I think) Samo when Levi was having a spell. And of course, Jones had a go in the ruck in the last quarter but didn't manage to get his hand near the ball.
Just a few minutes ago you wrote this;
However, Levi stuck at it without any backup (apart from Jones’ last quarter cameo) and we won the clearances.
It was infuriating to hear the commentators bleating about Casboult not taking enough marks; he took more than Witts!
No backup, except for the others who took the stoppage rucks as Casboult dropped into D50. FFS, we had Charlie rucking, must we feck him up as well to cover for Casboult? We even had Weitering taking the ruck at F50 stoppages! Casboult got more chop out than Witts!
If you were Witts why would you want a chop out, why the feck would you want to leave the ruck at all, it was like a magical day in the life of Jarrod that he's unlikely to ever experience again!
Two of Casboult's marks came in the last quarter when it was junk time, nobody was going to take them as serious stats! The one and only thing Casboult could have done all day today was take some marks around the ground, and heading into the last quarter he had just one by my count and that one received a bronx cheer from the Carlton crowd!
"When big men play well, others follow" Bolton's own words, and yet he played Levi as our ruck! I'm betting it may never happen again!
