We have seen how long it has taken Tim English to develop into physically capable ruck/forward from a tall, skinny kid. I know Darcy is a...

Lobb isn't a bad ruck and one upside to having him in the team is if English is having a stinker (as he is want to do from time to time) he and Lobb...

Darcy will make it and his field kicking will improve. Like with most taller youngsters we are just going to have to be patient with him.

Haha yeah Naughton is the same dilemma as Chris Grant , which end do we play him as he'll kill it at either. I too worry about Darcys leg speed,...

Wasn't Naughton an absolute gift for us? Drafted as a defender and adapted to a key forward role when we needed him to. Darcy should be a success...

Naughton was a gun junior defender and showed that in his first year for, you could argue we'd be a better side with him down back still. He was only...

We want a decent second ruck. Bruce and Schache are not it. Lobb is.

That's not what I heard at the time.

I think so. Lobb might allow a bit more flexibility as well.

I said 60/40 to appease the woofers who want English second ruck.

80/20 is what we do now with Bruce/Schache/insert name here.

He's improved so quickly, and come back after his injury so far advanced on what we'd expected I think they maybe asking themselves this exact...

I think it would be more likely 80/20 or 70/30 but it works. By being able to spell English a bit more it could help him right through the season.

For me English first ruck/ forward Lobb 2nd ruck/ forward. Could be 70/30 or 60/40 rucking. Is this too simple?

I think they believe the best for Darcy is the intercept defender role and to learn the craft down back as Naughton did in his early years. Much...

My thoughts mirror yours. He looks dejected when he made a mistake (and he made plenty early), and completely checked out for those critical 3...

He was at the game as part of the official retro round festivities. The reaction from the crowd was...luke warm. I think he handed the match ball...

With another preseaon under his belt why can't Darcy be that 2nd ruck/forward?

Terry Wallace would do this for sure.

Chasing Lobb is for the second ruck role that we have been missing, not just forward craft.
