Very important moving into the 2nd half of the season we are able to get one of if not both Warnock and Jacobs up and going. It's no coincedence that our form slump has occured since Jacobs injury.
Unfortunately as much as I like Kruezer his ruckwork is not there yet. We do so much better when Hammer is rucking. Nothing against Krooze he will be and is an exceptional talent.
I expect Kreuzer to peak around 2012. That's when I expect him to show Cox like talent in the ruck.
However, I'm with you in that he hasn't set the world on fire with his tap work (because he's young), but moreso his follow up work roving his tap outs and his general work around the field.
Jacobs on the otherhand did really well in the tap outs, and whilst he showed some footy smarts with the ball in his hand, I thought he didn't really make enough of an impact around the ground.
Agree though that if we can have Jacobs and Hammer doing the ruck duites (till Warnock gets up and running) and have Kreuzer in a forward role and rucking in the forwardline that it would be an ideal set up for us....for the finals....don't mention that F word.
Can't wait for my dream recruit (206) to enter the arena. He is mobile with good footy skills, and I think he'll push out Jacobs.
I think it's important that Jacobs remains on our list. We've seen what happens to clubs when they have injury/ suspension to 2 or more of their ruckmen...usually (and from our experience) not a pretty place to be in.
