Ben has come of age tonight, a great game and playing like l always hoped he would
He was great in the first half, reckon he tired in the 2nd and wasn't as noticable.
But other than his shot on goal which was a shank which ended up out of bounds, he was solid. We scored a goal from the stoppage after his shank anyway, so it could be viewed as a set play!
Soldo is a first ruck. Only plays if Nank is injured or being managed.
As a 2nd ruck I think he’s a lot more valuable than soldo at the moment.
Doesn’t win a lot of hit outs but creates a contest at least.
But the main thing is he has a genuine other position. When soldo isn’t rucking he’s a liability. Ben can hold his own down back.

Gives us much more flexibility than Soldo. Stays in the contest even after he takes the centre bounces.
Forward AND towards the boundary at times, playing to the skinny side to cause congestion and more stoppages - all aimed at eating up time and preserving our lead.
This is huge - an extra mid after the ruck contest. Add in the athleticism of Balta and Gibcus, and the coaches have plenty to work with.
