The Thread for Ruck Persons of the SFA.

I know everyone in the SFA is frustrated and angered about the lack of attention The Ruck People in the SFA recieve in the SFA. Lets be honest its a disgrace, and should have been rectified seasons ago.

Well thats about to change, I feel its my job as the All SFA Ruckperson of season 25, to champion the Rucks into Season 26 and beyond.

Before I go into the details, this award needs a name. So no matter how corny this is I am naming this award THE EDGE (had to get a U2 pic in somehow)

HOW THIS WILL WORK

1. The first Power Rankings list will be posted after round 1, where all ruck persons listed in team line-ups in the match threads will be ranked. The stats that will be used to rank this award will be a mixture of hitouts, Goals and DT score. If the team wins and the Ruckperson has had a big influence, that will also have a big impact, also if the team lost and the Ruck person had a poor game. (All ranking are decided by me and me alone)

2. There will only be 12 listed in the power ranks, so the Ruck/s will be tied to their team. By this I mean if a team names a new ruckperson a few weeks into the season, that Ruck will be joined with the previous ruck of that team. eg. poster 1/poster 2 - Royals

3. NO MARKS ALLOWED - If a starting Ruckperson is subbed in a game, and moved into another postion, and subsequently takes a mark in that game, it is an automatic rule breach and the Ruck/s from that team will automatically move down to last in the Power Rankings regardless of how well he has played all season. I know this is harsh, but its the SFA afterall and a Ruck just shouldn't catch a Qooty.

To all the Ruck Persons of the SFA - Good luck in Season 26.

So who are my biggest challenges in Season 26, speak up if you know you will be playing in the best position a team has, the Ruck.

Lets get the banter started.

I will also challenge my opposing Ruck person each week in the match threads, if they have the courage to accept.

Call it off U2tigers the All-SFA spot would've been mine if I'd played the whole season in Ruck, but it was the season I needed to have to earn it; to truly breed that hunger.

In S26, the beast will be released and the wings I was given (yes, I realise I'm now a beast with wings... think of me as a hippogriff of sorts if you wish) are in position and ready to fly.

Let's be honest, you might as well just worry about spots 2-12 because I've got that top spot locked TF up.

Hope you can handle the disapointment though Matty.

In this welcoming and supportive society, I suggest we change ruckman to ruckdog.

For rucking's sake.

I was recruited as a ruck.

I was All-SFA last season.

Therefore I am the All-SFA ruck.

Who the ruck is this imposter?
Ruck you.

There is only 1 All SFA Ruck from last season.

You want to challenge you go beg your captain to play in the Ruck this season.
