That's a bit of an early Crow, I'll wait until Pittonet has been challenged by a few more real ruck options, not B-Graders mixed with converted KPPs.
Bellchambers had it over Pittonet early, but our midfield was far better organised to rove to the losing ruck and it made a world of difference. To Pittonet's credit, he got himself back into the game by doing the stuff that makes rucks far more valuable than just the tap, the bullocking, the ground work, etc., etc.. They've even got Levi doing it now, it's a breath of fresh air.
Yes. It's great seeing our big guys throw their weight around. Pitto's a natural. Levi's added this to his game.
I'd like to see Pitto use his positioning to advantage our players a bit more. It's those shepherds and momentary delays that can give our boys time to dispose more effectively. Gibbons does this regularly, taking the heat off and creating thinking space.
