What's old is new again :D. Back to the 2019 premiership couple of Nank & Soldo and they worked well in tandem to nullify NicNat including hitting the scoreboard each.

I didn’t realise they both kicked a goal!

That’s an awesome return from your two ruckman.

Both not stars by any stretch, but both give a contest and then some.

Our side is built of these types with some out and out stars thrown in.

From chocolates to boiled lollies in 6 days.

Both our rucks had the least time on ground percentage last night and their efforts/stats show why :P :

Soldo  59% .... 7 disposals @ 29% eff., 16 hitouts, 0 marks, 0 clearances, 0 in50s, 0 tackles, 10m gained
Nank   63% .... 1 disposal @ 0% eff., 16 hitouts, 0 marks, 0 clearances, 0 in50s, 3 tackles, 1m lost

If there was ever a game to show how you should NOT ruck this is the game to show as a text book on ineffective Ruck craft.  :rollin

They cant play together.

Soldo is a legitimate joke, he cant even dispose of the ball. There was a passage he picked it up and dropped it about 3 or 4 times. He is not an AFL footballer. We'd be better off with Nank and Chol

We won a flag with Grigg in the ruck as well...do you think we should bring him back? :shh

If one possession from Nankervis and zero tackles from Soldo isn't "missing big time", I don't know what is.... :shh :shh

Since when is tackles the way to judge a ruckman’s game?

May as well judge Cotch on hit outs.  :shh :shh

You judge them on one game after Nank coming back from injury and Soldo been taking most of the ruck duties this year finally got help.They were very good against what's claimed one of the best rucks last week.I got no issue if Chol stays in games and doesn't go missing but he does.
