Little Ivan just keeps on improving match by match and it is a joy to see. At the beginning of last season few would have thought he would surpass Nanks as our No 1 ruckman. Mind you CCJ is going to make him work for his place

I personally think we should move one of Nank/Soldo on for some currency at the end of the year. I don’t think we should be playing them both in the same side, and it would be a waste to have one of them playing in the 2’s.
Soldo is our number 1 Ruck in my eyes, so he’s the one I’d be keeping. Give us strong 1st use through his tap work. Nank not as strong in the ruck, and is more an extra midfielder.
Nank will have better currency too.

Gee I tend to agree with ,do we need two first rucks,but Christ it burns thinking of,trading a dual premiership ruck.
I still think we need em both with CCJ in the wings. Chol, less currency but more expendable in my view.
From memory during the NAB games CCJ showed the best traits on field of both Nanks and Soldo so he is going to be pressing hard for a ruck spot in the firsts. Who would have thought we would have three good ruckmen available at Richmond after years of struggling
Gold Coast would be all over a dual premiership ruck. They just re picked up Zac Smith after fforgetting how *smile* he was the first time he played there. Maybe we could get Ainsworth or Brodie in return
Amazing when you think back to 2017 and we had to use Nank in his first year at the club with Grigg as the 2nd ruck.
Soldo has him for centre bounce work , but i'd take Nank around the ground any day.
Looks like Soldo has just taken the #1 ruck mantle for now.
Toby will be much better when hes fully fit and running out ganme, hes had a battle with that groin tear, they can be particularly problematic especially for rucks.
Question fotr the Maggots is.... Will they select Cameron?
Soldo will likely play behind the ball mostly from centre back into defensive 50 and leave the rucking to others forward of centre, that will increase his on field rest and allow for him to spend more time on ground.
Tommy will probably do the majority of forward half ruck contesting with Jack having a go here and there also where the front on contest is not requisite.

Its obvious that with Soldo we less likely to cop so many run and gun centre clearances.
Theyve obviously prioritised that over around the ground coverage and are looking to utilise the extra rotating mid to cover territory

Nank is gun around the ground , but Soldo has improved out of sight there to let's not forget taking marks in the back half up forward to and loves the rough stuff to.
Was super important in that few minutes. Saved us. I reckon he spent too much time early worrying about where Grundy was and not playing his natural game.
Looked to run out the game pretty well though
