Jenkins would run down all of our small forwards mate, you have to be joking if you're talking pace.
You think he'd catch Dahlhaus? Or Gary Rohan? Come on mate.
Anyway, I was chatting with a mate of mine the other day and I reckon we worked out what might be up with Ratugolea. He seems to be one of these guys who realises the pace of the game is much more intense than the lower levels, but hasn't quite adjusted to the fact that midfielders' kicks inside 50 have a lot more on them too.
The result is that he crowds Hawkins inside forward 50, absolutely busts a gut to lead, only to watch the ball sail over his head because he's led under it. Midfielders could afford to lower their eyes and take a bit off the kick for him, but that's effectively like choosing an Esava set shot from 50 over a Hawkins one from 35.
His set shot kicking is also erratic, to put it charitably. And with Blitz and Stanley we've already got all the mobile roving ruckmen we need.
