The value of ruckmen?
« on: January 12, 2007, 03:03:01 AM »
What's the value of ruckmen?

$600,000 per year according to Freo for Sandilands  :gobdrop

We got a bargain with Simmo  :thumbsup.

How much are we going to miss Stafford though?  Hopefully, Knobel (no more injuries please) and Patto will be able to offer Simmo some relief.

I think Patto will surprise a few people this year.

Decent recycled ruckman have attracted 1st & 2nd round draft picks.

Ruckman Draft prospects normally in the 3rd to 5th round, so their currency can increase if they are half decent.

Simmo for Fiona = Bargain!

Good question Julz - I think we will miss Staff not so much for his ruck work but just his presence on the ground.

No disrespect to Simmo and Knobel but they don't seem to have the intimidating nature that Staffy did.

Knobel is the key IMO - he is a very good tap ruckman and it's usually to our advantage  :clapping
