Jones ahead of Casboult...lol.
Kreuzer's a great ruck but an awful forward. Casboult will ruck with Kreuzer. Wood won't play. Casboult's work around the ground is too valuable and the only one likely to be able to play as a key forward while not rucking.
Doesn't matter. While Mick's there we won't get any run anyway. He lost the players long ago. To get run firstly you have to put an effort in.
Key positions will be Jamison, Rowe, Casboult and Henderson with Casboult do some ruck work too. Jaksch will play a 3rd tall role for now at some end of the ground. Better in defence for his sake as he won't be getting a kick forward right now. Who would?
Jones ahead of Casboult to balance our forwardline only.
One can play below the knees. The other cant.
Ditto Jaksch.
I think Levi is potentially our best forward, but not with the ruck setup we currently use. It only works if he is one of the rucks, and Wood is clearly our best performing ruckman all season, and that says little about Wood and more about the rest.
So if we bring in Kreuzer, that means two of Rowe, Wood and Casboult must go out in order to improve our run.
If Kreuzer could get fit, and do the 1st ruck duties, our best tandem would be him and Levi.
Look at how Mumford played on the weekend. He was EVERYWHERE.
None of our guys but Kreuzer can do that, and even he only did it prior to his knee op.
