@LP
Steady on mate, your reading things that aren't there again.

But your saying we're very short of ruck options but at the same time we should get rid of one of the few we have? 

I'm saying trade out one who has some currency for nuffas who think the tap is everything, and then bring in two, drafting one 18 year old and a trade late for an older backup!

Wood was smashed in the ruck. Was good around the ground though. He ain't the solution but definitely keep him on the list.

If warnock has currency, trade him, if not retain. Will be interesting to see if anything happens with kruezer

I agree. Wood wasn't great in the ruck at all. He was good around the ground. Warnock must be nervous at the moment if Kreuzer has a chance of coming good again. One of Warnock or Kreuzer could very likely be moved on at the end of this season or the next.

So we'd end up with Kreuz, two backups and a kid?

I'd rather a ruck that plays well around the ground. Winning taps at center bounces is overrated. Especially if it's like Warnock hitting it down the throat of the opposition. As long as your mids are covering men rather than trying to make space, I reckon you can be just as effective at winning clearances.
If Kreuzer can be fit, and stay fit, he will be a nice addition in 2015. After only one game, Wood seems to be able to offer more than Warnock. He doesn't win as many taps, but that as I said above, most of Warnock's taps have been going to opposition in clear space for an easy clearance.

It felt nice having ruckman that actually looked like taking a mark for once. Haven't had one since Sauce.

Wood has played ONE game. I will make my call after seeing how he goes for the rest of the season.

Yet he took two years worth of marks by 206 standards!

Now your getting hysterical again.
