I think Macca will get no favours from the new ruck rules. It suits very tall rucks that can JUMP [ Hickey, Stanley ]

If the delivery to Kosi is good....

IE. The ball gets kicked in the air to his advantage, Kosi is a very good overheat mark and takes the heat of Nick.

If the ball comes in crap, from the likes of Jack Steven, then Kosi gets screwed in a running race.

I personally still think Kosi is our FF or Wilkes, none of the new pickup's should be playing FF unless they can prove their worth/take the heat of Nick, which means, taking big defenders.

While Lee can be a future KPF....in 2013 the games that he will play I am guessing will be as a "third forward". He will not get the gun defenders as they will be on Roo, then Stanley...

Having said that we have a a lot of forward options now for 2013...small, medium and tall.

Markworth for example looked ready for a game late in 2012. Add RLT.

Roo, Rhys, Wilkes, Kosi, Lee....

Siposs, Markworth, Dunnell.... (or Lee)

Milne, Schneider, Saad. Milera, RLT...


Lee could well play on a flank fora couple of years, while his body build. He has the pace and mobility to play on a flank.

No I actually expect Kosi to be no better all but Lee could be worse than Gamble. Without seeing him in a game he cant be ahead of Kosi. I to hope he will be but he has 4 practice games to prove it. If he cant get a kick in them he cant play in round one.


No way Lee could be worse than Gamble. It's just not possible.

Mark Gamble? He's a County Court judge now,, I believe.


I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

I saw him ruck against Natanui until injured and looked OK. Hope Pierce comes on quickly because Mac can not get off the ground or palm the ball well. He seems best roaming the ground taking marks but in the ruck he just provides a contest.

You don't get it... there's no point talking about Stanley in the ruck as that is not how Watters intends to play him

Interesting debate, I would have thought Stanley was third fed second ruck? What do you see, permenant fwd? With 2 FT rucks? Not sure!


Maybe this year?
