Sampson should work out ok.Bringing this over here so as not to derail the backline thread. Jack's OP was prescient in predicting Soldo's long recovery and that we would take a ruck in 2020 if we didn't rate CJ - which we correctly did not. (Everyone makes mistakes, the key is to recognise and rectify.)
So we jumped early on Samson at pick 40 in the 2020 ND. I think it will prove shrewd. He has more going for him than CJ, who we managed to flog off for half a Taranto. That's exceptional business.
Samson will require first team footy this year. I expect he will demand it.
As long as he’s satisfied playing VFL for the next 4 yrs.
Recruiting 19 yr old ruckman is fraught with danger. You put yrs of development into them and someone comes along and plucks them from the tree when they’re ripe and juicy
