Darcy has been hampered by injury to the point where we have forgotten his promising form last yearYeah what we gave up for him I don’t think anyone could possibly call overs!??
-add to the fact he provides immediate competition for spots, thus depth which I think gets bit understated in terms of importance to the team in being able to play consistently week in week out.
Not a bad point actually , we do seem to assume they ll be locks.
Tho I think with Darcy it’s as much his structural importance than anything.
There’s actually very few “elite” rucks in the game today , lots of average ones and even more busts so even if he doesn’t become one of the leagues best I think we should be reasonably confident he ll at least be competent.
He's Tapwork is first rate and pre season you could see he was working on his fitness and getting around the ground.
He will be BIG for us in tandem with Lobb
