I actually appreciate the opportunity to reiterate my point. That idiot seems to think utility means shit player.

Jake was bought in to early is all. He should just stay in NSW cup for imo 2 seasons. He just inst a generational talent. He may carve out some sort of nrl career. I can't see it being anything special but who knows. At age 21 he will be much better. Throw him the odd Nrl game along the way.

What BA wants from a back up half is to back up the other half. Nothing erratic. Just feed the ball to better players. Kick if have to. Tackle.....
He still physically needs to develop. One more off season will help but his body type suggest to me he won't fill out till about 22. That's a while away. But might be at a time when D.Brown has gone to another level and is 25 and costing 1 million and Moses become 30/31 and we don't need him anymore. It may work out well for us.

You don't want 2 halves costing 1 million. One is perfect with a guy who can steer them around, kick and defend well costing 400k. Leaves youe squad balanced well to have a quality fullback and hooker.

Kenny has never been known as a utility. No need to get personal mate. I thought you’d matured. Was I mistaken?
I knew him as a utility. He played more rep games at centre than five-eighth. He played a full season at lock. He even filled in at fullback in 1983.

You might not have known he was a utility, which is why I've shown you facts that prove he was one. You're now free to see him in a different light.

Nice try. Now you’re looking like someone that can’t concede they were wrong.

You need to quit.

No you're wrong because you think what he is 'known as' is more important than what he actually was. He played most games at 6 because that's where it generally suited the team. But when it suited the team to play centre or lock or even fullback, that's what he did. Like any utility.

In fact I would say most 'five-eighths' are actually utilities, especially back in the day. These days they are often just a second halfback, and not a utility. Dylan Brown is a utility, like his contemporaries Munster, Wighton and Latrell Mitchell (who also played a few games at 6).
