I noticed at the East West Day, Eade was asked a question about who would be coaching the rucks this year. Eade went on to say that originally Scott Wynd had resigned from the position due to work commitments however, after selling his business he was now available to help out during the week on a part time basis.
Match day the Rucks would be looked after by the stoppages coach, Wayne Campbell.
Is this really sufficient given the vital role that Rucks play in todays game?
I know Eade probably is one of those coaches that doesn't place a great emphasis on rucks but I find it surprising that we do not appear to be giving our talls the benefit of some specialised coaching.
Aside from Darcy who might now only be a part time option anyway wouldn't Minson and Street still need some coaching?
Surely McDougall and even some of the part timers like Wight could gain some additional skills with some one on one tuition?
Is a ruck coach an outdated part of todays game?
