Wood - So what do people think

[ralu]

Coaches and Buttifant will absolutely flog him in the preseason. Get him in the gym and consuming lots of steak and protein. Get him running countless miles, can be something really good if he wants it!

I think we need to be patient. He is still very young for a ruckman, but is well into his development stage. This is a position that would cause us massive headaches in a few years had we done nothing or even drafted a young ruckman. Good list management decision, just not a glamarous result that a lot of people want. We could have in theory had Travis Johnstone running around which would have excited a lot more people but long term would have been a "Woewodin" type of result.

McEvoy was taken last year and looks impressive from what I have seen. A bit shorter (199cms) than Cam though, so should be quicker in theory.

Cam Was drafted very bottom aged in his year and is 204cms. Time was always required, and still is (just 21.5 years old).

Perhaps you were meaning Meesen who has been traded from the Cows to the Dreamons, and has done nothing.

No. I meant McEvoy.

He went #9 last year, and we had pick #14 and with that pick we got a ruckman only 2 years older, 5cm taller who was more of a known quantity and required less development time.

As such, my point is that we did the right thing.
