    Interesting from the footage that Cordy continually mistimed the jumps - not a natural ruckman. He is almost an oversized mid - so skinny

    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.
    There's the issue in a nutshell. Will performs best when rucking solo( AA selection testifys that) but when not rucking where does he play? They literally have to ruck him all day.
