Your sentiment is right on TDK but it will take a bit longer than you think for him to hold down the ruck for half a season or a full season.
Still, i think what you are saying is risk it with what we have already.
I'd be working on 2020 for DeKoning to be number one ruck. 2021 at the latest. Kreuzer and Lobbe only have to hold out until then. I don't think he's a long term prospect.
Our ruck issue is Phillips not being able to stay fit and create adequate backup. I'd be considering perhaps a free agent or using a 4th rounder to replace him.
