Connor Tracey - fullback

[bluefox68]

Saw this on FB...

Apparently Moyza has said on ‘The Drive’ that Tracey is training at FB and he is training at 6.

If that is correct, that could be a really good option for us with our current group of players...

Sounds positive.

I fear a trial injury resulting in Tracey on the sidelines and mr boring slotting in to fullback.

I listened to it, he said Tracey and Kennedy are both training at Fullback and looking really good. Said Tracey has spent alot of time time training at fullback.

Said he expects to play 6 rd 1. They asked what his favourite position was and he avoided answering and said he was just happy to play football.

I am curious to see how Tracey goes at 1, has all the offensive weapons imo - Fast, good acceleration, ball playing, could probably bust a few tackles, atleast more than Kennedy!

Defense could be an issue, or just lack of experience there?

That was reported on here a month ago bluey.
By yours truly.
Someone at the club told me this is Morris's preferred option.
He is big Tracey fan and has tried to get him on the park for 80 and this is the way

Metcalf is a Smokey for fb as well.

Nice work, mate!

Anything is an upgrade on Kennedy.

I hope this works! I have doubts about Tracey's defensive reads and can see a lot of errors at the back but it feels like it'll work for his attacking style at least...seemed to struggle with decision making as a 6 in first grade, maybe playing out the back and going by instinct will help.

I know the forum is very anti-Kennedy and pro-Tracey, and I hope I'm wrong and CT2 kicks on at the back, but I think it's a like-for-like exchange between Kennedy & Tracey

Tried to like this twice.

I see your point ghoti for sure.
1 difference I see in them though is I feel like CT2 is more confident, everytime I see Kennedy he seems to be second guessing or just trying to not f**k up rather than to excel.

Fair points. Fullback is a tough position to play. People tend to focus on attack in rating fullbacks but defence is critical. Have to able to read the attack and communicate quickly and precisely. Need to anticipate to defuse kicks and be strong in contact. Have to a strong all round footballer with athleticism.

Tracey has good pace and plays with intensity. Positional play will take time to develop. Don't see him as a real footballer, more an opportunistic runner.

Kennedy has done ok. Shows glimpses but seems to lack confidence and intensity. Also made some big errors at bad times. Will be interesting to see how Morris plays it.

I would like to see this happen.

Ordinary is an upgrade on hopeless so there's a positive

Same. However I’d be happy with tracey there over Kennedy. Tracey and metcalf both have ball playing in the locker. Hugely important. Kennedy has bits of it but plays way too timid to utilise it.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

I’m probably the only merkin that hasn’t given up on Kennedy but good to see some options to put some pressure on him regardless.

So who is the quickets over 10m, 40m, 100m.

Why is this information so hard to come by?

Williams can dead lift your grandmother, mother uncle Alfred and Quigs, probably why he cannot catch or read a game.

I digress, why do I not know this?

Gee Kennedy showed some lovely hands at times making the extra man to put the winger over.
Very skilful.
Maybe fullback just ain't his spot in NRL

Talking about Jack Williams I saw a picture of him and he looks like a different person now. His face is thin and I have no idea what they have done to him. Anyone else see this. Might have been in sharks Instagram?

The forward Williams or the half /hooker version?
