Watching the game again and yes Sauce Ruckwork nit great.
But our mids were pretty good playing to him and we did well when he didnt win the Hitout. The quality of the GWS midfield not that bad though.
Sauce still did very well in that bail out role through the arcs. Given the s**t he receives he still polished it up and sent us forward allowing the mids and flankers to reset down the line.
ROB can't do this and is not exactly light years ahead of Sauce in terms of Ruckwork. For me right now without the hyperbole of a live game Sauce stays in right now.
Harto v Keath I can't split.
I like the forward line set up of Tex n Jenkins and the smalls.
Would love Murphy, Jones and Knighta to play. With Eddie that us lot of tackle pressure.
We will miss Brown. Kelly is the best solution we have.

Sauce was bordering on brilliant IMO and deserving of praise. Only knock was ruckwork was a little rusty, but that's to be expected. It's very easy to forget how good his kicking skills are for a big man. Can hit the short 15-30m the half the midfielders in the league. That's the one thing I worry about most with ROB.
Won't complain if Sauce can carry this form all season, god knows we need it.
