I know this is out of date as he got delisted at the end of last year but can anyone tell me what type of ruckman he was? did he just tap it or did he work around the ground etc?

Also what was the main reason he was dropped of the rookie list? He was to old to be rookied again and was behind Wood, Charman, McDonald etc.? or did he have injuries?

Thanks.

Anyone?

He was barely out of the paddock, so none of us really got a good look at him.

i would say that he was delisted because of the fact that we had a mix of the older guys the charmans and mcdonalads as well the woods becuase they showed alot optenial maybe more them clark. I aso think he was hampered by alot of injuies as well most probley not a good sign and i aslo have no idea about how he played

hope thats helps

He had a fair few injuries with patella tendonitis and corked thigh etc IIRC so wasn't given much of a chance to show his worth on the field. Also with the lions ruck stocks being quite well off, Macdonald only accepting a two year deal, Cam Wood showing some potential, and The Berger being a likely draftee for the lions along with Charman as a permenant fixture he really had no chance at being promoted to the senior list. And being too old to keep on their rookie draft would not have helped his cause.

Long live Lenny
