Thought I might share some interesting news I discovered today.
So I caught up with one of the members of the 20s squad today through work and we were having a chat about our younger players. I asked him about Jai Field moving to fullback in the Under 20s side and he said it's thrown the team out of balance.
He believes Jai should be in the halves and that he's not a fullback at all and Steve Marsters was unfairly shifted to the wing. However, he also said that the NYC Head Coach Wayne Collins is really close family friends with young halfback Jackson Willis and his family, which is the reason why they're not playing Jai in the halves and keeping Jackson there. He said it's the reason why they've lost their last couple of games.
He also seemed to think that the club has gone cold on Matt Dufty and he will NOT be our fullback next year. He thinks its the club's plan is to play Kurt Mann at fullback next year and then transition Steve Marsters into the fullback role from 2019 onwards.
Thoughts guys?
