Some have question Hunts performances last two rounds, so my question is.
Does he keep his spot against the Storm or bring in someone else.
This is if GI doesn’t come back.

I think he needs to remain on the bench to cover injuries
Well then Hunt would stay in unless Jennings moved to centre and Kennar to wing..

I can't see Seibs taking Jennings off that wing though...

Burns also has quite a few errors in him which concerns me...

I actually aren't as concerned over the centre debate as I am over fullback!

We should make up a thread about comparing Tedesco, Slater and AJ.... sorry AJ doesn't cut it and we shan't make the big dance with him there..... that's my main concern.....

Solid won't do it @callmack1!! I dunno what the answer is!! Take away GI from the left edge and we take away from a big strength out there....

In fact I'm gonna take this a bit off topic!! What if @callmack1 Seibs went with this:

(Can't see us winning next fortnight so he's gonna have to do something before we kiss the season goodbye! I'd be doing this:

1. GI
2. Campbell (right wing)
3. Jennings (left centre) he's really strong and has good hands. Defence is the only concern but we may have to take that gamble)
4. Gagai (right centre)
5. AJ (left wing)

This is an excerpt from Sporting news compRison of fullbacks - I tried to post the link but it doesn’t seem to work- maybe you should read this R20:

Defence and discipline
Alex Johnston is the tackling stonewall of the fullbacks, making 79 tackles and missing just 9, while Tedesco, Wighton and Boyd are the next best. At the bottom of the list and by some margin is Holmes, who has made 18 tackles and missed 13.

Darius Boyd is the safest pair of hands with 0.56 errors per game, ahead of Johnston (0.64), Gordon (0.75), Wighton (0.77), Tuivasa-Sheck (0.79), Holmes (0.88) and Mbye (0.93). Tedesco ranks worst with 1.53, Trbojevic (1.36), Ponga and Dufty (1.25) and Slater (1.00) all racking up at least one mistake per game on average.

Johnston and Trbojevic have yet to be penalised this year, while RTS and Slater have been pinged once each. On average Ponga, Wighton and Boyd have been penalised most, giving away 0.31 penalties per game. Next worst is Holmes at 0.25.

Scoring
Dufty is well clear of his contemporaries, having scored nine tries so far, three more than the next best in Johnston. On average, Dufty scores 0.56 tries per games, Johnston 0.43 with Holmes next best at 0.38. Trbojevic and RTS have the worst try scoring rate at 0.14 per game.

Overall
After considering the performance across all stats fields mentioned, Holmes ranks seventh out of the 12 fullbacks, coming in better than Ponga, Slater, Boyd, Mbye and Gordon and on par with Dufty, Wighton and Tuivasa-Sheck. Only Johnston, Tedesco and Trbojevic are considerably better.

Very interesting indeed!!

Why don’t you make a thread on fullbacks salaries while you are at it!!!

Slater 1 mil+
Tedesco 1 mil
Trobjevic 750k
Holmes 700k ( worst defender on stats in NRL)
Ponga 700k
............
.............
.............
Johnston 300k

AJ is a very,very talented athlete----if he hadn't made it in RL he would probably have made it in cricket!! He made a double century as a 14 yr old with shots all around the ground!
He has class written all over him--I think things come very easy for him----at times I think he doesn't push himself enough to maximise his natural talent !!

Our most naturally gifted players are AJ,Cody, &,of course,GI--all indigenous players!!
