Dear Selection Committee

[TigerLand]

If Angus Graham plays another game for this football club I'll neck myself.

In fact I'll donate to the FTF $100 for every game he plays in the 2s.

He was torn a new arshole the size of the Grand Canyon...

hmm, strangely the only time he contested was when the umpire threw the ball up...is next to USELESS is Gus

[jackstar is back again]

Warncock is a complete wacko as well, towelled Gus

[Judge Roughneck]

I think Graham hurt his leg early in the match.

That said post or derickx or browne need
to show form in the 2s. And griffiths is missed

[mightytiges]

The problem with Gus is if he cops an injury it takes him a while to regain some semblance of form. He missed most of the preseason with an ankle so he's underdone. The problem we have as a team is Derickx missed the last few practice games and Browne is still young and questionable so we don't have much of a choice with our rucks. It'll be a weakness for a while unless we use free agency to poach a quality ruckman which is what most of the top sides have done.

I'm not too upset with the team selected. Some people after the game were saying Tuck should have played if we were playing our best side but I'd rather have kids out there as Tuck isn't going to get any better and fix his deficiencies at his age. We've just got to suck it up for now and use what we've got and hope in time a few more cubs come through and step up and our recruiters find and add far more class to the team.

[TigerLand]

I'm sick of Gus and his chances, I hate slagging our players off but Gus is a local footballer at best.

Our ruck stocks are horrible. Every club in the league would have 2 ruckman on their list better than Gus. Gus wouldn't be in the top 30 ruckman in the country. Our stocks are so thin we're just forced to play him, he doesn't warrant selection except we just have to play someone that is 190cm+ in their, and I suppose Gus will do.. Sorry Gus.

Derickx to play 21 games this year for mine.

Yeah agree MT I'm happy with the side bar our ruck selection of course.

Angus needs a miracle to stay on the list next year, an absolute miracle. A stupid call in round 1, but I think everyone would agree.

[jackstar is back again]

Gus is soft

[Judge Roughneck]

At this stage Gus won't be delisted because he is the oldest ruckman on the list

at 23 or so yoa. We'd be left with browne and vickery who are more or lees teenaged and Derickx not yet player afl

Unless we recruit a ready-made replacement next summer and Derickx bypasses Gus as our No.1 ruckman this year he'll be staying. Rucks really only get the flick if there are two others ahead of them. 2012 will be Gus' test to survive with free agency enabling us to poach an experienced quality ruckman.

[crackertiger]

Yep the worst ruckman ever he truely is poo!

Angus will not be playing next year, unless miracle improvement.

Derickx can play and will surpass Gus this year for starters.

Even if he doesn't you can't have your ruck stocks so weak two years in a row. Our ruck stocks will be number 1 priority next year I guarantee it.

Gold Coast have better ruck stocks than us already in Fraser, Smith and Day.

same goes for foley, has been finished crapola

Lol from a half of footy, after nearly 2 years off. Had crook guts tonight. Big call.

[Hellenic Tiger]

I can think of some worse ruckmen that have donned the RFC guernsey.

Ty Esler
Robert Schaefer
Brad Smith

He is struggling and we are struggling the ruck dept. If Derickx is fit maybe we should bite the bullet.
