We can get the ball out of the ruck because we have 2 rucks.
We can't get the ball back once we turn the ball over because we have 2 rucks.
Our rucks aren't the problem here, in fact they are probably keeping us in the game.
The silly thing is this, you get it right a few sentences later as we are using it by foot like we are wearing clown boots.
We either.....
a) can't hit a leading target,
b) are not even trying to hit a leading target
c) or there is no leading target to kick to.
Then you make silly conclusion.
Either way, its a knock on for the extra ruck and consequently lack of run/pressure.
You're obsession with the two rucks makes you come across like a goose. We've run down opponents and forced turn overs almost at will, then we kick it back to them from clear space and all our blokes are caught out of position pressing forward.
If we have a tall problem up until now it's Young who has been a virtual non-attendance, but if Weiters is out he'll be needed critically to lift.
