The injury to Jarred Roughhead last night is a direct consequence of the Sub-Rule. If Roughhead, a KPP, had not had to do ruck duties the probability is he would not have this injury now. Using players who are not specialist ruckmen to do ruck duties not only upsets team ballance but poses other problems. When players are set position players they are used to playing a certain way, running toward the ball etc. When going into the ruck they have to move differently & take on a far greater aerobic role & are not trained for it being set posie players. I believe we will see a lot more injuries before the end of the season. I wish teams would go back to playing 2 ruckmen & leave their forward set up stable. The Hawks had an almost unbeatable set up when on song but now they are probably gone.
