Where is Sam Jacobs at?

I'm worried about Sauce, we all like him but I fear that even if he gets back to some good form too many other rucks and ruck duos will have gone past him. Not sure how in our team he partners up with somebody to share the load. My concern is that as more go past him we will be going into more and more games without the ruck advantage.
Not 100% I'd pull the trigger but I would certainly be looking very closely at what else is out there and what moves we could make while he still holds quite a bit of value.

If Sauce himself is to be believed, unless he plays as a sole ruck every week with a huge workload, he'll actually get worse. Lucky tough questions won't actually be asked of him and he will play every game next year regardless of form. Like Thommo this year, we just have to hope he turns it around because he's locked in for at least next year as a rucking workhorse.

When he plays badly he jumps too early. I'm beginning to think we could do with a new ruck coach
Bloody hell, there's a thought.
I'm not even seeing him jump

Harry Dear should get a look in if they want to keep the same structure.
Why?
Ryder struggles even moreso against the top flight Ruckman.
Yes he is athletic but he is also shorter than the better Rucks. He ain't NickNat.
He is Fools Gold.

Do we overstate the importance of winning taps? Is ruckman more important around the ground these data?

He turned a couple of defenders inside out on the way to running goals which I liked and led up well.

A 197cm, 19yo KPF. How long did we give McKernan to mature? And he is as soft as butter. Dear has absolute intent at the contest. The rest will come. Needs a few more years atleast before casting any final judgements.

2 games - west coast a must win against a team who the week previous lost their number one ruckman, sydney do or die final against a team whos ruck stocks had been lessened by tippetts injury, both games there to be dominated by Jacobs both games massive fails, he should be traded or delisted
Mate, I'm as open to bagging the Power as anyone ... but Ryder is a very very good ruckman.
29 Next year... ROB isn't the answer.. he can ruck but his around the ground work isn't going to cut it.
When does Brodie Grundy come out of contract for the pies?

Need to find a ruckman. Sauce fails when we need him most.
Agree with JPetro83 we to get Brodie Grundy

Surely not, he's only got a couple of years left at best.
