    Agreed I reckon Ladhams has shown plenty this year, doubt he will be in Red and white next year - I would of kept him in
    I'd only questions Ladhams position if Mclean, Amartey and Logan were available.

    Last time he dropped Ladhams with only one of them was against Port.

    Even if Grundy has a good game, he has shown he cant do it every week, need to play Ladhams, madness

      Do you think that they can play Grundy, Ladhams and McLean in the same team? To my mind the team becomes too top heavy

        I think so, Mclean out of our fwd line is a big loss for what he actually gives us in the Ruck

          If we are too heavy with all 3, why not leave Ladhams on the bench until Grundy needs a breather? McLean needs to play forward for most of the match and not worry about ruck work.

            I'm OK with Ladhams going Ruck Fwd, it's more Grundy that needs to be Ruck Bench

            But Mclean needs to be fwd 100%, last few times, rucking has taken too much away from his fwd game

              When Hayden McLean is your best forward you know you have problems lol ? I would actually love to see the lizard in the fwd half

                Looking at the line ups of the teams and who we have out, I'm not expecting a win but would like close to 4 quarters of maximum effort.

                  I have to agree with you. He is not mobile enough. The only role for him is the relief ruck, and while he does not get many hit outs he does contest very well bringing the ball to the ground
