    A forward, he's very mobile.

      From what I have seen, Hill gets his grabs through his vertical leap/althleticism. While I rate him very highly, I fear he will be outmuscled at the top level as well as not having the tank.

          It will be interesting as he has been in the system quite a while now, so hopefully he is stronger than he looks.
          More of an In Bruges guy?

            He was drafted in 2010, but has had some injury issues, and being a big bloke could take some time.

              True, but he played under 18's in 2009 and spent a year with GWS before we drafted him.

              He has had mainly knee problems so hopefully he spent some time building his upper body strength.

                    A shame if true, this year really is a make or break year (3 years on the rookie list?), has been making slow progress but has shown glimpses.

                      This year is his second.

                        I guess there's only one way to find out.
                        The curse is dead.

                          Roughy is a ruckman, full stop! See Roco's response about Marko and Shaggy potentially coming back in.

                            Crap. That could be it for him.

                                Yet he has rarely started as first ruck. Up until 2 weeks back he was forward first then ruckman. Why can't he be a backman/ruck?
