Game on: Giants lean into Madden football for Grundy battle
GWS will opt for Nick Madden in the ruck for a second week, forgoing established tall Kieren Briggs
GREATER Western Sydney is set to forgo established ruck Kieren Briggs for Academy product Nick Madden for a second week after the 21-year-old impressed coach Adam Kingsley in round five.
Kingsley acknowledged that while it is rare for a 21-year-old to hold his own in the ruck, he's backing youth and "extreme drive" over experience in Friday's Derby against Sydney.
“Nick is highly competitive, extremely driven, professional, and prepares extremely well, and he's a big guy. So, put them all together, and he’s probably ahead of most 21-year-old rucks,” Kingsley said on Thursday.
