Fulton signs for 3 more years

Reckon that means Flanagan will go. He and Fulton were competing for pretty much the same role.

My thoughts exactly- plus we only signed flanno for 1 year with an option. Fulton has been great this year

Flanagan isn't fit to shine Fulton's boots.

Stoked with this. Spells the end for Flanagan one would think. Similar in style but Fulton just has so much on him in all areas.

 

[Reek_Havoc]

I haven't been his biggest fan over the years, but he has been playing well...in patches. The stint overseas and the shaven melon has done him good. He has toughened up a bit. 3 years is a long time, he should still be on probabtion period after some of the sheet he dished up over the years.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Think Fulton has had ups and downs this year, more ups but still it's an extension that doesn't fill me with huge amounts of confidence.

In Flanagan's defence he's what, 5 years younger? Still a world of improvement, and growth, in the kid so hope we keep him. I'd rather someone like Payten is flicked than Flanagan personally.

Flanno was prettywell a UK superleague rookie so to be fair he has done a decsent job and his UK career will be all the better for jumping straight into the deep end as far as footy goes.

We have 2many 2nd rowers and need an out and out monster prop

My opinion:

Fulton is misused. Yet, still does a good job. He's an intelligent footy player and makes the most of his second row position with smart lines, belying his stature. I'd play him at half, as a right sided, second receiving player. His right short balls have been class since i've watched him. He can deliver left. I'm not sure if it's true - but the word was that Farah and Benji wanted him here. He's no half, but that doesn't mean it's not the best place for him in our structure.

Flanagan is potential. The dude has missed out on years of development due to Noble's antipodean policy - with the irony being, he had to come down under to get a run. Again, he's got a footy brain, and has the body to put on size, which I can't see Fulton doing. He's not got the vision or ball playing ability of Fulton. But he hits around the footy. Runs smart, if not brilliant, lines. I'd keep him and allow him to continue to develop. Considering he's played a similar amount of footy, without the youth structure of guys like Dwyer, I can see him becoming a decent first grader.

He's never going to be a world beater, in fact, as a forward, he'd probably do better in the English system... but he's a hard trainer and is also a footy player. I'd keep him around. He won't demand large coin for his ability. I can see him being a good investment player.

"He's an intelligent footy player and makes the most of his second row position with smart lines, belying his stature."

Absolutely.....i can't understand how anyone could doubt the value of this guy...he and Ben Galea were two very undervalued players...i'm glad they had the sense to extend his contract

(edit)..undervalued is probably the wrong term..under-rated is probably more accurate

I don't know what guys see as 'potential' in this guy. I honestly haven't seen anything more than a very average park footballer doing an honest job for us but playing way out of his depth. I haven't seen anything to suggest he will ever be more than a park footballer.

f**k! Why not try Fulton at half this season pending Moltzen returning. Hardly a step backwards from Lui.

 

[macnaz]

Fulton at half wouldnt hurt, certainly fill a massive hole there in defence as well. Oooh thats right we may be using Ryan

Like I said... decent first grader.

 

[Borat.]

We see potential cause the guy has barely been able to string a few games together in the league not up to NRL standard and he comes straight in and hadles himself well- lets see how he goes with an off season under his belt

If we we short on 2nd rowers he could be a gem of a player in 3-4 years time...but we are flush with em so.......
