Match Discussion: Round 24 vs South Sydney @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

[Pezz70]

Apart from his solo try against an asleep Canberra I don’t see that much promise.

I think he’ll end up going ok but just not ready for the big time yet

Really? I see a young fella with heaps of potential.
Staines and our new guy will keep him developing which is how it should be.

We've got this.

so who replaces Bula?

Bring the kid Mason in or Staines (or perhaps AD) to fullback and bring Tupou back in?

Yeh Mason I'm thinkin, it's his preferred position.
See how he aims up there. If we do, Soufs will bomb away all game directed at him cause he's a shorty.

I'd prefer to bring Tupou in and give Luke a go in his preferred position.

I bet Benji will do something out of left field like putting young Mason there or AD.
Adam has been tried at fullback before and his speed was sus.. I don't know about this one. I remember watching Tupou playing a roving winger role in NSW Cup and he scored a try on both sides of the field.
Staines has played at the back before and is ok. Tupou could then play wing.
Whatever happens, if we want to avoid the spoon then we have to win this one.
Instead of putting the mockers on us again I'm going to say...
"We haven't got this"

Commentators are saying we're going with young Mason at Fullback tonight.

Looking forward to seeing how he goes ....I would have gone with Staines as a safer bet for a win but that's without seeing much of Mason at all...his debut from the bench sure was good though

That's what I thought but fullback is his preferred position. He might just have a blinder.

im going to say this for the 100th time, hes not a winger. i look forward to the club working this out 3 years after playing him there

 

[Nutz]

Come on boys.
Do I dare say it

Yep...11mins in I'm convinced

Mason is an out and out half, I watched the kid growing up and he has golden hands, good footballer, if he has to play fullback he he has to play fullback

 

[Pezz70]

Galvin has some class, we need to keep him, got tackled on the left side two plays later He throws perfect pass for Douehi to score really good footy

He's played fullback in pathways this year and doing alright.

 

[Pezz70]

Ive watched the boy since he was 7 years old, he is a proper half. I rate the kid, I know his HM coach also thought his best possie was in halves.

 

[Nutz]

He's built for a half. He played ½ and ⅝ in matts before transitioning to fullback unless I was watching a different player.
I must admit he is short for a fullback but then again look at South's fullback tonight and gold coast's Keano Kini.
