I would play both Bellchambers and Luey because Joe cant ruck for shit.
it doesn't even matter if joe can't ruck the problem is that he is so crucial to the forward line that putting him in the ruck hurts the team a lot more than just the lost 'hitouts'.

i want one of stewart or mckernan to be paired with one of leunberger or beachcomber. that way daniher stays forward, we have another marking option to help him, hooker can drop back if he's needed and we have a big old #1 ruckman.

I would like to see him tackle more and be more involved in clearances.
If you're a number 1 ruck you have to be uber physical, it's a non negotiable.

The injuries didn't help but his last extended run in the seniors saw him constantly skipping contests and flopping and diving around like a schoolgirl when he was involved.

Looking like thats a thing of the last which is great.
