Yep. Good on him for having the strength of his convictions.

Guess where the finger will be pointed and the reason given for any losses we have this year? It'll be CNK's fault, because Roger could, should and would have done better with the No.1

Do think CNK is the better fullback in terms of team involvement (RTS being better at individual brilliance).
He might prove me wrong but RTS seems to be not so flash at positions other than Fullback whereas CNK can slot in much easier around the backline

In for another year of CNK at fullback judging by Webbys first trial team

Yep looks like it. Saw an article yesterday where DWZ said Roger had been training on the left wing too. I can live with that, so long as he stays there. Spent last pre-season training at left centre so at least he's on the same side of the field.

Ah man I'll be honest, I don't really know league well enough to know how it looks in terms of the structure of the side and how we want to play.

I know CNK has been a huge metre eater - he was 4th I think, in the comp last year - but RTS is probably a better line buster and maybe support player? And both are decent organisers?

And it's about the bigger picture of can RTS go well on the wing? Is CNK even in our best XVII if he's not fullback, and what do we lose if he isn't? It's too nuanced for me and my limited, but passionate league following.

Webby painted himself into a corner last year by saying RTS was a centre, which he admits. It's not as simple as who is the best fullback, it's a consideration of what is the best XVII to play the way we want to/need to in order to be a finals team and actually give it a shake.
