Not a fan of the thread title, imo Brett Morris has been terrific at fullback. His kick return stats are among the best in the game (top 5 last time I checked that particular stat), defensively he has been excellent, his positioning also great, and his support play has been a growing feature. I love Florence but consider Brett a better fullback

yep i agree 100% - Morris has that extra bit of pace to reel in the attacker when a break is made. he is also more elusive and explosive when it comes to kick returns or chiming into the backline in support.
nightingale much better at wing for the balance of the team.

Nightingale will do a great job at FB...

But look at their strengths:

Nightingale: great under the high ball, excellent dummy half runner, struggles a lot when tackled takes a long time to be put to the ground giving his forwards all a chance to get back onside.

BMoz: Great kick returner, Blistering pace, pops up in the line always when needed and good one on one defence.

Seems to me either of them would do a good job in both positions however they are both more suited to where they have been playing all season.
