Yep. A tall that is competent enough to take minutes while English, Naughton or Keath is taking a breather, or injured in game. No world beater. Even like late 2021 Lewis Young.
If Darcy isn’t in the starting 18, even playing him off the bench across the ground as needed. You can then roll the dice to bring him on and plug a hole down back (not 6-6-6 start) or throw him forward and go insanely tall as a change up strategy if required.
Five smalls on the bench doesn’t make a heap of sense. The extra flexibility in height as you rightfully point out G could be something of strategic importance.

That is why we are targeting Rory. We don't have any one that can do it.

I'm really not sure what I'm missing.
In the past the sub has typically been a versatile midfield type. Depending on the change to a 5 man bench clubs like us might now need to consider how they want to structure the 5th player.
Do you want him to be a Sweet pure ruck man type or a jack of all trades type or do they just want to add another runner?
Lobb is forward who is very handy in the ruck so is that still the best fit for us or would a player like Sweet come into the decision making.

Sweet is not good enough at this stage.

He wasn't good enough 12 months back and yet we put our faith in Martin as the back up.
If Sweet only has to ruck for 50% that might assist him.
Lobb is not the answer as the 2nd ruck man ie a full time ruck man.

Martin is a proven ruckman, albeit passed it
Who says we need a 2nd full time ruckman on the ground

Oh sure, but to be honest I'm done with "Schache types" (as much as I wish Josh could make it) and if we're talking about filling that spot then let's do it at least with a "Lobb type" who's proven he can actually play and actually play that role.
I wonder if Rory Lobb is available? He seems a Lobb type.

I’d have Lobb in the starting 18 if he gets here.

Bruce or Darcy.
If they can force Lobb or JUH out then good for them.
