Re: Our type of ruckmen
i agree. but there has always been those 2 types i reckon. probably for a 120 years. so he should wrestlers v athletic.
jimmy stynes was certainly 'modern'.
but we are lucky to have one of each atm. im pretty happy with our ruck stocks.

Re: Our type of ruckmen
if i was bradley i would walk. the coach obviously doesnt have him in his plans. he has been one of their best fwds of recent times. ross comes across and he cant get a game, yet players like anthony are gifted games.
keps should see if he can get a game at GC. wouldnt be a bad fit for the doggies.

Re: Our type of ruckmen
i really want to see stanley against some of the elite rucks. Will be interesting to see how he and Roo work today without Kosi. He will be more important
