Best Fullback = Ratings?

[Deleted member 10972]

All this fuss is on about Minichiello, Hodgson, & their all-time ratings. So how about this.

Attacking - How fast, agile, & dangerous the man is when taking the line on, whether through a support run, or from returning a kick.

Tackling - The fullback's one-on-one tackling technique & trysaving ability, not based on quantity, but rather the quality of the technique.

Positional Play - How often the fullback used to always defuse potential situations with remarkable positioning, always in the right place.

Catching - Reliability under the high ball, or stopping any form of awkward kicks (e.g. grubbers or chips), before running the ball back.

Support Play - Whenever a back-rower or forward is ready to offload, however often the fullback popped up, always seeking an oppurtunity.

Playmaking - The fullbacks 'skill', as in, their back-up passing & kicking games, & ability to create plays, much like an extra five-eighth.

Each one should be out of 10. Goalkicking does NOT count.

e.g. Gary Jack

Lockyer has lost a yard or two in pace over the last few years ay? Waiting for BBSF to give Covell straight 10's...:roll:

 

[simon says]

Defence for Lockyer 8???Mmmmm,I think not.

 

[Ghoulies]

Defence for Lockyer 8???Mmmmm,I think not.

An 8 would be accurate while he was at fullback.

 

[Balmain_Boy]

It would be. Remember that tackle made on...someone...in origin where he picked them up and dragged them over the sideline? He was fine in defence at fullback. Just has trouble reading the play up in the line...

i believe 8 is too high for Slater's playmaking, he doesn't have a passing or kicking game, & 8 for Peachey's defense is too high as well. 6.5 is a bit more accurate.

De'vere it was.

He was great at making try saving tackles.

no offence but after last nite it seemed like he didnt want to catch the ball he almost got protected by hilder off the kick off ect...

i believe 8 is too high for Slater's playmaking, he doesn't have a passing or kicking game, & 8 for Peachey's defense is too high as well. 6.5 is a bit more accurate.

SOO #2 2004? :?

 

[Deleted member 10972]

I mean a proper kicking game...as in like what Lockyer, Phillips, Schif, or even what Hunt is doing now. Slater rarely ever kicks unless it is desperation.
