Yeah I think people are overthinking it. Sinclair is number one ruck, Towers will take over the role as permanent second ruck - which is good, as it gives him an actual role - and Aliir gets to pinch hit from time to time.
The problems begin to emerge if Sinks gets injured...but meh, we deal with that problem if it happens.
I don't understand how Sinclair is our number 1 ruck. You've seen him ruck, yeah? I don't have his hitout stats handy, but from what I can remember they were unflattering to say the least.
Maybe it's just me, but I'd actually prefer Reid in the ruck than either Sinclair or Aliir. I think we're better structurally with Sinclair in the forward line and Aliir as an attacking defender. Naismith out certainly hurts our depth though.
