He's going to have PTSD all season after what Cherri does to him in round one
X does injure opposition rucks a lot.

Last year in the first 8 rounds English went
119 vs Gawn
138 vs Witts
124 vs West Coast
117 vs Geelong
58 vs Goldy and Draper
114 vs Marshall
134 vs Jackson and Darcy
135 vs Meek
8 games at over 117. Against good rucks too. In general play I think the new rules hurt him, but in SC I think it was more the lack of pre season.

Just looking at his numbers a bit more. 112 average pre bye, 100 post bye. Only gameplay change we had was Lobb going back and Richards into the middle so that wouldn’t effect him.
Played good rucks in both post and pre bye. Don’t think he averages 128 again but he also doesn’t have to for him to be a good bye.
Also think we sometimes fall into the trap of a ruck has a “down” year after going nuts and they can’t get back there. Think almost every ruck fluctuates a bit.

Gawn went 102, 118, 91, 127 when breaking out. I understand the risk but youd pretty much cook your season (like many did with English last year) if you got Xerri at his price and he doesn’t back it up, while English returns to 110+.
Or you go both because you think Xerri can back it up and English goes back to his best
Thought of doing that.....but both with rd12 bye has me concerned.
No different to when Gawn and Grundy used to have the same bye Flex this year helps cover it even more just need 18 playing
Or, Xerri dosnt back it up and english doesnt go back to his best, and then your screwed because Gawn and TDK dominate

Read somewhere WB had significantly less stoppages last year. English is terrible at HTA but got a lot of possessions around stoppages, so this hurt his scoring. Maybe ran out of steam due to a reduced preseason. Darcy becoming more influential wouldn't have helped.
Maybe Bevo finally stopped him getting the
