Spot on. Horrible article by McDermott. Rucci was also owned by Bickley last night who made it clear that Rucci's hard work claims were just facile rubbish as we have come to expect from Mr Rucci.
Rucci is stupid. No sense for the game whatsoever.
I heard the exchange as well, Rucci is a stupid stupid man, that has very little understanding of the finer points.
Bickley was 100% right.
One point was funny - Rucci was using the tackling stats to claim Port doesn't work hard enough this year - because it lost the count 76/52 on the weekend, however he brushed off the 73/41 count in our favour the week before.
Right now our issue is more aligned to first hands on the ball (18th in comp for hitout differential) and our turnovers which are putting us on the back foot and impacting our creative run to advantage which clubs are scared of (and may be a result in part of them putting more work into stopping).
Has Rucci yet come out and highlighted that his 11 game membership story the other week was wrong ?
(again - not understanding the finer points, I guess logic and reasoning aren't required traits of journalists)
