Thanks, Pure. There is some logic behind all that. Don't see why you'd be risking your #1 ruck in a Round 3 game, though, when the prospect of him then missing multiple games if he's not right to go for this one is actually 'season over'.I think its pretty simple. Rhys isnt 100 % and ideally they dont want to play him this week but hes being named in the 26 as a contingency so that if anything happens to ceglar they can bring him in without paying the 20k fine. I doubt its more than that.
Much prefer to take the 'L' here and have him available after another eight days for the Hawks game. We are going nowhere fast if Ceglar ends up becoming the long-term ruck for this year.
