Ivan Maric

Told ya he'd get spanked. 160 supercoach points to Gawny. Goldstein will probably get 200.

Personally, I wouldn't bother playing him. What's the point? It's probably premature, but too bad, promote Cholly.
 
The big fella has been great for us however the game has gone past him.

He has lost all influence around the ground.

Has now become a liability.

Shouldn't play another game this year.
 
Have to just give Griffiths the ruck for the rest of the year I think now just to see if he can make something of it, otherwise he's more trade bait too

Sorry the game has indded past him but he has to play ahead of Hampson. I'll take heart any day. We don't have a plethora of rucks in the cupboard. As soon as we recruit one give me a yell.

The same applies for Hampson

Griffiths aint gonna make it. He has that syndrome most of our talls seem to have, the please don't let the ball near me syndrome.

Maric and Hampson cannot play together - it just does not work - perhaps replaced by McBean and Griffiths

Can't be much worse than what's running around out there now can he? At least he might be able to take a mark and kick the thing 60m

It's obvious, innit? And yet he played zero minutes in the ruck in the twos. We're deluded.

Disagree. Griffens was good today.
 
Griff and Vickery as a ruck duo couldn't do worse that Maric and Hampson tonight.

And at least they can both contest a ground ball. And play forward.

Vickery is a liability in the ruck.

Let's all get our heads out of the sand and stop getting sucked into Hardwick's strategies to use Vickery in the ruck.
 
Reckon Rioli and Castagna would be more competitive in the ruck than Vickery and Griffiths.
The ruck stocks are threadbare.

Wow they can do all that? Why didn't we think of this earlier?

Watching Hampson and Ivan tonight was just so painful to watch. They both lope around doing the monster shuffle. So slow and the turning circle of a battleship. Cannot possibly play both ever again.
 
Maric was that bad that I think I would prefer Hampson....and I spent the shore night whinging how *smile* Hampson is. But we do look better in the centre bounce with Hampson there
