That's fair enough about Tim English.My comment was against Norwood's ruck who beat him soundly, it's you that brought more into it not me.
Neither ROB or Strachan are in the discussion with the top AFL rucks but at least ROB is competitive at the level probably more due to his elite endurance which Strachan doesn't have. It gets down to how much you value ruckmen and how much of the salary cap you think they should take up.
I don't see Tim English's worth as being anything like the money you've touted.
I'm assuming you're paying $600k for any starting ruckman. Paying English $300k more gets you someone who can actually work as a part of your midfield, taking marks and gathering possessions.
I think that's worth it. Personally, I think ruckmen are overrated, unless they're delivering something in general play.
