Mcintosh would be no good when the ball hit the deck compared to Pickett though.It's a good strategy, McIntosh could also play that 2nd ruck role. Although, it will be more the impact the 1st/2nd rucks have around the ground and or after the hitout
I think we'll start with Balta forward/2nd ruck and Gibcus back and see how we're tracking with curnow and mckay. Balta up against Silvagni in the ruck should favor us but if curnow is getting on top hopefully Dimma is quicker to react than he has been recently to swing Balta back.
It's good to have options.
