Who else hates the kids being involved in handing out the premiership medallions or is it just me and Charlie?View attachment 2125054
Wrong call? They wouldn't have reached GF without a good ruckman. Today other factors also favoured. That doesn't mean ruckman are useless.

I'd argue that having Reidy and Knobel taking up list spots is a bigger issue. I'd rather have a mature ruck/forward on our list instead of Reidy.Brisbane used to win them with Keating back in the day who was mid tier.
I still think paying top dollar for both Darcy and Jackson is stupid. It would look a bit better if Jackson starts to dominate in the fwd line, which he showed glimpses of in 2023.
The big O looked like he had been on the red cordial and snakes all dayI loved how Oscar Mac was grinning from ear to ear & looked genuinely thrilled for Fort to get a premiership medal.

I think the issue is around the money rucks are paid.This is myopic on the one game and completely ignores the body of work to actually get there. Isolated sound bites like this make everyone less intelligent, cue classic video clip. You can't win a premiership based on analysing grand finals because it completely ignores the journey to get there. Their key ruck played an enormous role in Brisbane making the grand final.
Let's not be morons and build a list around what worked in one single game that is unique for many reasons. The focus must always be on making the grand final in the first place.
Fort is clearly an adequate ruck. We could also go analyse how pivotal Nank was to the tigers triple.
You don't seriously believe that do you?I think the issue is around the money rucks are paid.
Big O is probably on about $350 to $400k per annum.
Fort is a good back-up. No way they make the big dance if Big O is out and Fort plays 20 games. Fort played 3 games in total.This is myopic on the one game and completely ignores the body of work to actually get there.

What do you think he’s on then? Give us a number. He wasn’t a restricted free agent as far as I recall. A rookie pick, would have been earning lowish pay for most of his career.You don't seriously believe that do you?
I don't even know where to start if you think one of the top 10 rucks in the comp resigned for less than the median wage pre new cba. All that stuff about restricted or unrestricted free agency is irrelevant, he signed more than a year before his free agency. And he was on low wages because he was a rookie?? Sandi was a rookie too what was he on at his peak?What do you think he’s on then? Give us a number. He wasn’t a restricted free agent as far as I recall.

All definitely on bigger salaries than McInerney.
Probably on similar coin to Jack Payne, AhChee (actually he’s another probably paid more, a former pick 8 from Gold Coast wouldn’t be underpaid that’s for sure). Lincoln McCarthy.
Ok. Maybe big O is on $450k then.
