Edwards or DWZ for fullback next year

[franklin2323]

Until we workout how to clone Blake...DWZ is the next best option at right centre but until that move happens we need both in the backline. Whether they share FB or not

I don't know why people say centre but I couldn't disagree more.

He has the same skills as Blake. Just defence is the issue but training as a centre will help that

Waqa could clome himself if he wanted to. But he knows this world isnt big enough for the two of them.

He can play anywhere in the backline, but I agree, centre looks the worst option.
If everyone seems to think Whare needs replacing (not sure he does), I'd like to see Fuimaono given first crack. Powerful runner with a great offload.

I don't think people are thinking Whare needs replacing but move likely neither Whare or Blake have completed a full season without injury.

That's true, they've both had more than their fair share of injuries.

Exactly. With Peachey gone and rookie depth we need a backup

Very good point.

Well he hasnt had a good season since 2015. He has shown glimpses of form ince then. And those glimpses became more regular in 2018.

He is now under the same coach that developed him into the best centre in the game though. His injury is further behind him. There's a chance we see Deano at his best again.

Deano, Deano he's our man if he can't do it Waqa Blake can!!!

I'll see myself out.

He is still my fav player but he is very limited. He would mid range centre in speed, footwork. Not very tall so not even a kicking target. He does have consistency and a great defender.

At some stage some one will offer the things he can't. It is all about using his strengths until then

It's time for Waqa to live up to his promise.

I like dallin but as a fullback he needs to work on his defence against the poms he let in some simple 1 on 1 tries with missed tackles for now id stay with Edwards at the back.

Well Dallin missed out on the golden boot although the award is a joke now anyway. Until mentioned here I didnt realise they changed their criteria for the award. Not really a big deal being nominated now. Its not actually a worlds best player award anymore.

It used to be awarded to who was arguably the best form player of all players from the entire game over the entire year at all levels, with internationals simply being worth more toward the award.

Now everything is ignored and the award is from a small selection of players over a few international games only. They have completely cheapened what the award was. 5 years from now no one will consider it to be a prestigious award and it will have cheapened what previous winners had done to win it.

I didn't even know the award existed.

Truth be told, Dallin wouldn’t have been nominated if the criteria hadn’t changed. It’s hard to see him making even the top 5 of the NRL.

But your right, it’s now a shit award that no one will care about.

I only noticed because Dallin got a mention.

 

[mxlegend99]

100% no way his season as a whole was the best. His rep form was terrific. His club form was good too.

But for big wins... he only had a single finals match and a victory over a Boyd Fraudner led Australian side. Hardly best player in the world material

Tedesco was the only name on the list close to worthy of that and he too wasnt in the same league as the majority of other winners.

Sorry to rehash this but I just read this on 0tackle:

The Sharks relied heavily on Barba’s ability to set up tries as well as score them in their title winning season.

IMO, this is important for any team wanting to win the comp and I think that Edwards has more ability in this area than DWZ. Not that I think either player can achieve what Barba did in 2016, but I think we need some sort of dual-option threat at FB.
