All my hopes for Gault are long gone. Just showed no physicality after a bit of early promise. Perhaps another player we were unable to develop when we had 7 rucks listed. What were they thinking?
But what are the alternatives to them calling back Gault. He's less than insurance as a mobile ruck in my mind. He's clearly not going to get a game forward ahead of anyone on our list unless they're all injured.
So why would they keep him on?
We've got lots of small and medium versatile types now with Mayne and Dunn coming in adding to Reid, Howe and Goldsack. Cox and Keefe aren't competitive rucks yet but neither was Gault.
What are the alternatives? Minson? Any other mature rucks in the state leagues worth considering? Surely one of them could be better than Gault!
The alternative is to hit the draft and see what comes of it. Can't be any worse then having Thobias Gault Kinnear on our list for so long.
