Could SBW be a five-eigth?

[Lenny_2212]

It may sound crazy

But SBW is a guy that can do anything and with a bit of kicking training i think he'd romp it in. He is creative, can run with the ball and is a great defender

Could it happen? SBW v Braith, how good would that be

why would you grab one of the most damaging second rowers in the game, and throw him into five eighth. the whole idea is pretty dumb really.

 

[***MH***]

D) The other players won't know what he is talking about when he say's "Ey , Lits do that choice move, you know tha one wi dud et training eh?"

:lol: rofl! i wonder how the tigers manage with marshall then, eh?

 

[Raider_69]

He lacks vission, passing and kicking skills, all vital for a 5/8th
so no, he couldnt be a successful 5/8th

 

[aussies1st]

I don't think the bulldogs paid 300k + to let SBW play 5/8. They can't be that desperate as they let go of Anasta, they have something planned.

 

[melon....]

Moff me mate,

Sonny Bill Papworth needs to stay on the field to be a 5/8? Rephrase the question plaeas.

 

[Azkatro]

He could be as good as Gene Miles in the centres! Take my word for it!

 

[Clarkieel]

LOL SBW needs to play more than five minutes a game first, he belongs in the halves at the dragons where they seem to only last a short time before injury

and y blame anasta for leaving when the dogs said they would rather mason

 

[choc_soldier]

Play him at lock, and have him playing like a second five-eighth or third backrower (to interchange depending on the match conditions).

 

[Mr Saab]

Dogs might use reni matua at 5/8...you never know

 

[Homer's Bowling Ball]

I reckon he would make a good centre.

 

[Lenny_2212]

Or throw new signing Daniel Holdsworth in from the start. Either way both are capable of doing the job well.

 

[ozboy]

You could stick SBW anywhere on the field and he will still be a great player, but his best position will be as a back-rower, though if the injuries do persist over his career I would not be surprised to see him in the centres.

 

[Nickeel]

Sonny Bill does actually remind me a lot of Trent Barrett.


Only in that they are both always injured

Does Sonny Bill punch smaller players in the back of the head with no provocation?

geez some people can whinge. marsh was charged - therefore his shot was illegal - there's your provocation.

[Moffo]

SBW could do it, trust me

 

[~doggie~diva~]

he's actually had some experience at 5/8 when he was younger.

 

[Wristy McSlashalot]

He'd probably be quite good, but his biggest talents would be wasted in a playmaking role.

 

[Dragons Cross]

Who is SBW? Is he that myth who had a few good games for the Dogs last year?

 

[madunit]

NO moffo.

SBW would have to be imo easily the best Lock the game has to offer.
