Do we Keep or Trade Gus?

[tigersalive]

He's contracted, he played some decent games this year, we wouldn't get much for him in a trade.

Keep Gus.

I have always been surprised he was elevated after only a couple of games.

He's big, and with some coaching from Brendan Lade  he might be a handy ruck.

[Francois Jackson]

Keep. Terrible last half of the year but most of his girlfriends did too. Will improve I think

[Gigantor]

Big and strong but runs around like robbie the robot

Seen him today actually, Delist!

[Infamy]

He clearly ran out of puff in the 2nd half of the season
Had some surprisingly half decent games prior to that
I'd certainly keep him over Simmonds, he's only 22 years old, ruckmen start coming good when they are 23-24.

[Gigantor]

good point infamy..I keep forgetting that big guys dont hit their peak until their mid 20s,unlees you're a freak like Buddy or Richo

He didnt have puff to start with

[camboon]

Unless you get a top 20 no way, Ruckmen of his size with mobility are hard to find. He needs a bit of a rocket and as mentioned with a good ruck coach he will improve.

Woods + pick 14 LOL

[Jackstar is back]

Needs more than a rocket i am afraid.
I dont think he will get any better than what he showed this year.
What you see, is what you get

[Gigantor]

hey why couldnt the club save a few bucks and ask benny G to double up as ruck coach also......
I must admit i sometimes would watch our current ruck coach and think how could a guy with a gut that big be instructing elite athletes.....but that just might prove how much i know about coaching..LOL

I reckon your right.

[Gigantor]

LOL jack which bit is right...the i have no idea about coaching part I suspect

[WA Tiger]

Unfortunately he is about all we have while Vickery comes along. I would give him one more year and work him hard, no point just being a tap ruckman and standing there after the ruck contest. In the pre-season I would be making his fitness a priority so he can push forward or back after the contest ala Benny Gale, he ended up a master at it and saved us many games accross CHB.

He must lift though and focus on more areas of the ruck game.
