Both will continue on the same path......Gibbs may improve if he plays on the ball and gets more responsibility but I dont see either of them ever being stars who dominate games..
Kruezer was rucking vs Lobbe of Port who isnt exactly a household name and didnt dominate or see much of the ball......he will always show glimpses but never be the player we thought he might be and the new theory you recruit ruckman after other teams break them in and develop them might be right..
I've been thinking about it a bit this year, and the conclusion I came to is I would never draft a ruckman in the 1st 2 rounds. Use a 3rd rounder at best or a rookie pick and develop them, or like you say pinch them from another club.
While I think Kreuzer can be a very good player for us, I'm not sure he will ever live up to the expectations of a number 1 pick.
