Ive been hanging out for Sam Durdin to make it to release Young into the ruck.
So glad the MC back Kemp to show his intercepting game in the big league. This enables Young to the ruck, and one of Pittonet or TDK out.
If Kempy goes well, and the midfield will help that happen this week, Young will have a stint as a 3rd, or 2nd Forward. Release Charlie to play a Cameron role. Lets see his fitness.
The thing about Young is he is KP and ruck size. Still learning the game, and surprisingly one of the fastest at the club. He's the best ruck I've seen since Kreuzer. He answers the 3rd tall fwd/ruck question and helps the speed issue.
This could be a blessing. If it works out there's pressure on SOS' spot and pressures TDK to take the Number 1 ruck role from Pittonet or go where he wants for the right price.
Pressure on spots will lift this team. Starts this week against weaker opposition. Lets hope they click.
I assume that’s why TDK isn’t playing. Jack isn’t a ruck and we lose a lot when goes in there. Also tires him for playing forward
Other thing is Jack can go back if needed
Young did play Ruck in a Grand Final so it’s not foreign to him
Mate Young has rucked for us before too.
Pittonet played 84% game time last week. His engine has improved.
WCE have only one ruck, and he's a good one, Bailey Williams, and Pitto can wear him down.
Leaves Young to give Pitto the chop out and dominate the young ruck. Freeing up SOS.
Who knows, the MC may be trialling this and at some stage decide to play Young back again.
We need flexibility, to make moves when we need to.
May the best tall win.
