Listen to Yappy!

As you'd know I've been telling all and sundry for the last year that Liam Fulton is a great 5/8 in the making.

Well someone's been listening because young Mr Fulton will get his chance in the no. 6 this Friday night against the Gummie Shire Scum. Don't let me down son.

Now if I can only get Sheensy to listen about Boof.

Get out to Campbo on Friday peeps (and bring your woolies). Brycey and Cashy are back and the side looks good to me. Let's make sure Peter Gentle realises the mistake he made.

I'm not listening I'm reading. :lol:

Good to see - but the fact remains that the Magpies have (prior to this) used him almost exclusively at lock - and I wonder just how much some of the ridiculous positional experiments that have been occurring in the Magpies PL side benefit either them or the JV!!!

De Gois should be starting lock - with Liam outside Keiren - but your coach is struggling for a clue!!!

(Could it be due to the fact that he himself struggled to claim a specialist position throughout his career - half to hooker to lock)????

Go easy on Georgie Snide son. Most of the positional switches are passed down from the mountain and not his own idea. The supercoach seems to be waking up to his folly though. Gravy is back in the pack, Superboot is back on the wing (and you said he couldn't play - alright tearing up Parra is no challenge, but he knows how to finish if his inside men put him in the position to), get the Boof in the back row and Isaac in a 13 jumper and all madness will have passed.

I can't agree more on the De Gois, Kerr, Fulton prognosis as it's what I've been calling for since rnd 2.

Plummy is great and everything, but he isn't the attacking brain that Isaac is - he's a hit up merchant. Neither is he the awesome cover defender. Front on and it's pain city, but he doesn't make it out wide to clean up. A 10 or 11 shirt for him with Tere and Gravy in the back row.

Liam gets out wide anyhow so it's not going to be a huge change for him. I hope he takes a bit more kicking responsibility because he really can boot the thing for distance. Having him running at the line with guys like Collis and the Duff Man running off him has got to be a salivating prospect.

I never said Covell couldn't play - but I questioned his pace as a finisher - and I stick by that assertion!!

However his footwork is good - and his time in the pack means there has been more muscle in his hit-ups!

Otherwise we agree champion!!!

I'd like the chance to see Liam show some of the fleet-footed "Scott Hill"-type work from the no. 6 that I've heard about - but have not seen while charging into the line at no. 13!!

Liam played 5/8 against Canberra 3 weeks ago and he didn't look as dangerous at 5/8 than at Lock. Play the way Parramatta were with two Locks in Liam and Issac and one playmaker in Kerr.

 

[Snide the Tiger]

Yeah - it worked excellent for Parra Nick!!!!!

 

[Tigerpete]

In all fairness though i think Liam would need more than one game at 5/8 before we could draw an accurate assesment of his 5/8 ability.

Liam and Issac are a lot different players compared to Wagon and O'Dwyer, it is also Premier League. Kerr is iactually a halfback.
