We are not even top 4 with Val at Fb.FFS.
Hopefully he scores a dozen meat pies this weekend so it is clear to everyone that he is an elite winger.
One day he will be a good fullback, but not in the next couple of years.I for one( call me selfish ) want to win the whole thing again, not play fan favourites .
To do that, in this comp you need a ball player at 1, not just some one who tries hard and runs hard. It’s not the Karmichael Hunt days.
Look with more evasion and a better passing game Val will get there, but with Moylan at1 we are fat more potent in attack. Let’s admit it he will pay FB for the Cows one day.
With Val at 1 we are mostly predictable.
If we land Pearce, with Gal, Lewis, Wade, Fiffs, Dugan,Moylan and Chad for starters we will be formidable, add one of the games best finishers and we will give Melbourne, the Cows and the Chooks a run.
Imagine beating Easts with Cronk in a game that matters, if I was Pearce that is what would burn inside me, and with the Sharks he has the best chance.
Still think he is off to Manly though,
Hope I am wrong.
