If this is true, Ive heard it all now

I don’t think Lobb and Stef are directly competing for a spot.

Neither do I. Should Lobb join us his position will be Fwd/Ruck, if English gets injured we'll look to Sweet and Martin, hopefully in that order.

If English gets injured, we are literally screwed.

To quote Inigo Montoya, I do not think it means what you think it means.

It was basically the same last year and this year and while it's early days it could be the same for next season.

And if we go into a 3rd year with this same set up then it’s a farce.

I know this is a view not shared by many but I think it's a reflection of how the coach views rucks within his game plans.

If English doesn't get injured we're still screwed.

Nothing to do with the list manager? All Bevo?

I think it's on Bevo, we have topped up with various state league midfield type players rather that take on a longer term ruck project to follow through with Sweet. If Bevo said to Power get me a ruckman I think we've had the capacity over the last few seasons to do that.

[Bulldog4life]

Stef Martin to sign a 1 year extension according to Mark Stevens
I like Stef but I'm not sure I like this

Are you SERIOUS...Not a fan of this decision especially when we are after Lobb too.

I think rightly or wrongly he wants the second ruck to be able to play forward otherwise it compromises the team. We have that in English obviously but we committed to playing him as first ruck, this is why we are targeting Lobb in my view for a best of both worlds scenario (in their view).

Personal view is unless they are elite I don’t want a giant statue sitting in the ruck position. Elite rucks are hard to find or develop, elite ruck/forwards arguably harder so it’s either develop a ruck/forward, trade for a ruck forward or trade for an elite ruck and pray English isn’t gone this time next year. People asking for a tall guy for the sake of it are not considering impacts on other aspects of the game.

Do agree this is a Bevo choice for better or worse. Not sure he has much choice with English at this point given what we know. Key is getting some help in that doesn’t leave us playing one short after the bounce, Grundy fits that but then we have a disgruntled English. No easy fix on this and the club has multiple things to consider not just the best 22 on paper.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

If Martin signs anything other than retirement papers, this club is in a much worse position of delusion than I actually thought.

[bornadog]

Grundy fits that but then we have a disgruntled English. No easy fix on this and the club has multiple things to consider not just the best 22 on paper.

I heard Goodwin talk this morning and he thinks he can easily make it work with Gawn and Grundy, so we should be able to do the same.
