I'm only going off the highlights package but he looks more of a forward than a ruck to me.
At 198cm he is more of a forward size than a ruckman as well IMO.

Put him in the ruck and let him throw his body around.

From his highlights, thats what he does best and the mids will appreciate a big body in there that isnt hunched over with its hand on its kness straight after the ruck contest.

The number 1 thing you want from a ruckman is second efforts.

OMFG I agree.He is a ruckman he is never going to be nic naitanui  but he could be a shane mumford.
He has done nothing to date to suggest he will become a decent kpf.

Yep look at Mumford who is a highly regarded ruckman (199cm - the same as Nankervis). People just love his efforts and you don't hear people saying he's too short

Edit: Just saw Claw mentioned Mumford too

exactly

but something tells me the club will try and turn him into a fulltime forward like vickery and waste what could be further developed into a very competitive ruckman
