With Staffo probably going at the end of the year, we need another ruckman.

Simmo is doing a great job, but what if he is injured/out?
Trent Knobel has had an injury plagued year
Adam Pattison still wet and being developed.

One more needed? WHO?
Everyone on this site is whinging about Gardiner and Spider...Who else can we get?

Good questions, our key defender AND our ruck stocks have issues.

I'd say keep Simmo doing the job and get knobel right.
Pattison and hall as back up
Develop graeme
Definitely draft another one

basically i think everyone at PRE wants us to draft 3 big blokes about 195 cms who can do a job each in Ruck, CHB, Full back.  

we then hang on for a bumpy ride until they 'click'
 
Going on current suggestions today[Tarrant,Micheal,Acker] Micheal Gardiner would be in the mix along with Everrit :hihi :hihi

Yep.
 
i still think ruckmen are overated unless they kick goals or drop back defensively,
all the hitouts we won last week made little impact on our success....
 
I reckon Seller can drop down to our draft pick?

Only problem is can he play CHB and Rove and Ruck?

not yet they dont, and i wouldnt be surprised to see *smile* in Adelaide next year?

Didn't Jay just sign a new contract a few months ago? I know this doesn't preclude him from being traded but I reckon it would be pretty unlikely.

Get a backmen and let ray hall run in the ruck.
Short term solution...only
so definetly draft another young big man to the club.

it's not a bad idea..unless we trade ray
