Unsure why Edwards is getting his dick sucked a lot by the usual super coaches on here.
I'm yet to see anything that says he should be in the team. 1 - DWZ 6 - Moylan
Maybe he's a world beater in NSW Cup, but so is Rein..
So you admit to basically never having seen him play? Outside of presumably his 3 NRL games where he was on the wing twice and fullback once where he was no worse than Moylan in most games this year.
If you saw him in the 9s and watched reserve grade even just a few times and saw the things he does off the ball you would see how valuable he is to a team defensively. No one is perfect obviously. But he reads the plays so much better than any of our other fullback options and does a terrific job at covering a lot of field.
Hes faster and stronger than Moylan. Has a high workrate and most importantly has great instincts. His attack is strong also. But its his defensive play that would be the huge upgrade for us.
Is he going to be the next Billy Slater? Unlikely. But he is the most complete fullback at the club. Moylan and DWZ have areas where they are better than him. But he just seems to be more of an all rounder with better instincts.
