    They just swapped from Hunter to Campbell as their ruck insurance. Meh.

    Yet their ruck division is stronger than ours and they are adding to it....

    They didn't add to it, they swapped 1 fringe ruck for another. I don't have an issue with it but I can't see Campbell improving them next year.

    It's like saying that you don't need to insure the car. If you don't intend on having an accident is it still a waste or money well spent?
    I don't see having an extra ruck man especially given Ryder struggled a bit with injuries last year as a waste of a list spot.

    With the 666 the ruck has become so important. Basically since we won the flag using the third man up they've done everything to maximise the benefit of a decent ruck division.

    Be interesting to see how the Pies go if Grundy can re-capture his best form.

    Campbell is a hell of a lot better than Hunter.

    We don't know the reasons behind the decision but at 30 and soon to be 31 he will take a significant pay cut late in his career if he doesn't change his mind.
    Given it is now public knowledge and he is well known he won't get latitude in enjoying the freedoms that are about to open up for many of us.

    I wonder if other players will now follow this lead?

    I heard he's not refusing it, it was just being delivered in a floating overhead manner and he didn't want any part of that.
