Probably not a disaster but we are always better balanced with one. I think it helps having Harry as a back-up as he revels in a run around the ground.
You're right - escaped disaster by the skin of our teeth - back in the eight so all is good with the world. But I wonder how long this will last.

As Lods said, we’ll never know
Maybe but losing three of four with two rucks is a fairly significant indicator - considering we continuously were running out of gas towards end of games.

Would echo others here
- Charlie, frustrating. Awful game to HT but some how kicks 4. Thought Harry played a better role in the fwd line for less reward.
- Williams - shows our other forwards how it’s done.
- TDK, brilliant. Shows the versatility of our side
- Cripps was great as was Walsh again
We really need to be rotating our key players on the final month of the year to freshen them up. We have had as hard a 2 months as I can recall, with 2 weeks to come. McG, Weiters, Hewitt, Harry, Newman, Cripps, Walsh, TDK all need spells.
Would be interested to know how we go with TDK an Pittonet today, with one resting on Mac Andrew in the fwd half. Same result?
Next week - out, Orasio, in Motlop
If we went with two rucks we would have taken a runner out of the game on interchange - we had more run because players had more minutes to rest. Two rucks has been a disaster.

Moltop hasnt had a competitive game for almost a year don't think the club should play him.
Saad and Fogarty straight in.
Durdin and Marchbank both unimpressive.

Like it or not Pitto is the no 2 ranked ruckman in the comp. Filter for Rucks and watch the magic happen.Yes because he gets most minutes in there doesn't make him the better ruck imo.

TDK is a ruck not a forward just like H is a forward not a ruck and Young is a back not a ruck.
TDK is being played out of position. No matter who the ruck is (despite TDK being the superior ruck) todays game does not suit two rucks - we have lost past 80% of games with two rucks. Not sure how much more blatant it can get.

Dropping this game is not an option - either is two rucks.
