He's not a modern day entertaining ruckman like a Ryder or Nic Nat. He never will be. He's a brute of a ruckman who'll back up week after week and give you the same performance 9 times out of ten.
The second ruckman is a position that needs to be developed (as Will was with Darcy and Hudson), but it's an emerging role, not a transitional year just yet.
