I agree he looks like he could be great as a forward. Similarly he looks like he will be a great ruckman, so it comes down to which role the clubs requires him to fill.
Before Darcy's knee decided it would ruin his brilliant career (touchwood it doesn't happen to Roughie), he was being used in both roles and the club began to realise how damaging he could be up forward and we supporters dared to dream.
Maybe Roughie can fulfill that thwarted dream.
