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.Then you make silly conclusion.You're obsession with the two rucks makes you come across like a goose.
Its a double edged sword though. They help and hurt us at the same time.

Its also related to our forward efforts. 3 big forwards takes up to much space. You constantly talk about players taking eachothers space and launching against eachother, thats part of the problem here. The leading space is reduced by 1/3 because you have the extra bloke in there taking up space.

If we have a tall problem up until now it's Young who has been a virtual no attendance, but if Weiters is out he'll be needed critically to lift.

Believe me, i didn't want Young in the side. In fact, if we were looking fit (pre-weiters injury) i would be subbing out Young and resting TDK back in his spot. Perfect time to give him a sniff at CHB and roll the dice.

David King frothing over our clearance work, yet also bemoaning our lower pressure rating needs to put 2 and 2 together.

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.

They are doing very well on the run and overlap and we don't have an answer with our taller/slower side by comparison.

On top of that, 3 tall blokes up forward is making us lazy. When going forward.
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.

Either way, its a knock on for the extra ruck and consequently lack of run/pressure.
