Pfft.

 

[Bazal]

Roberts has nothing but speed. He uses it to great effect but a 9 he isn't.

Chambers is iffy but I don't think he's a 9 either....

 

[MrCharisma]

Kevin Naiqama

Current: 8/5
Request: 10/7

Why: KEVIN Naiqama hair is product free. Truly. No styling gel, no hairspray, nothing. “Yep. Completely natural,’’ . Source

 

[Misanthrope]

27/2

 

[Bazal]

Look....his defence is shocking, he's a shit footballer...but that hair is magnificent and those guns would be illegal in the USA. 16/3 with a 31 temp

 

[Misanthrope]

€/$$$ fullback.

 

[Bazal]

He's clearly a utility IMO. I mean, he can play fullback, wing, centre, and in a pinch if he lies totally straight you could clean a chimney with him. That's not covered in the alternate positions.

 

[mickyj]

haha

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

27/2

Selling him a bit short, unlike his hair

30/3 imo

If only he could dye his hair blue, we could call him Marge

 

[Drew-Sta]

Does he know the rules though?

 

[Dutchy]

Ricky Leutele - Currently 6/5. Would also like changed from wing to centre.

Averages 90m/game, at 10m per carry. 2 TB, 1 offload per game.

10 tackles a game, 1 missed. Solid player. Needs a better half, limited playing inside Robson, and Gallen.

 

[Dutchy]

Aaron Gray - Currently 5/5.

7 tries in 9 games. Averaging 99m per game at 9.9m per run.

2.5 TB a game, 1 LB a game. Tackling at 89% - Hasn't had to do much though.

 

[Misanthrope]

7/6 for Ricky.

8/6 for Aaron.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Agree

 

[Misanthrope]

25/25.

...
8/9

 

[pennywisealfie]

I want to upgrade Will Chambers. He is currently 8/5.

I don't watch much rugby league, so I can't really do comparisons.

However, this guy is the incumbent test centre for Australia and carved up in origin. He is one of the elite centres in Rugby League. I'm looking for a 9/6.

I'd advise checking out a few stats sites and seeing how he stacks up against other 9s.

 

[pennywisealfie]

The guy is clearly in the top 2 centres in Australia and was a dominant player in Rugby league's toughest proving ground, State Of Origin.

If I'm to compare him with anyone, A good comparison would be with the other incumbent test player, Michael Jennings who is rated 9/7 in the sim.

Here are Chambers stats: http://www.totalfootystats.com.au/nrl-player-stats/melbourne-storm/will-chambers#.VbjiOPmqqko

Here are Jennings stats: http://www.totalfootystats.com.au/nrl-player-stats/sydney-roosters/michael-jennings#.VbjiT_mqqko

I will list Chambers stats with Jennings stats in brackets:

tries per game: .41 (.31)
hitups per game: 14.71 (10.5)
metres per game 136.94 (97.19)
linebreaks per game: .41 (.38)

He outdoes Jennings in every important attacking stat besides try assists and he's not a half, so that shouldn't matter.

His attacking stat should at least be on par with Jennings.

 

[Misanthrope]

Happy to give them guy a 9/6.
