We have to run Dugan at Fullback I reckon. Throw Ramien into the centres and give the bloke a shot.

We really will struggle with the Holmes at back. Ramien and Holmes could be a lethal combo.

You think Val is crap at the back but want to put Dugan there instead? Makes no sense.

Makes plenty of sense to me.

Holmes is a proven amazing winger, proven average fullback. Dugan has played many years at the back. He's no Barba but he's definitely better than Holmes.

Nah, he's really not. If you want a ball playing fullback it doesn't get much worse than Dugan. At least Val has upside there.

As is Dugan.
Exactly.

Holmes is great on the wing, we all know that. But at fullback he really lacks. On top of not being able to ball play he is also a pretty average defender and on many times showed zero urgency at the back which resulted in tries to the other team.

And Dugan is great in the centres. As I said, Val is young, has played one season at the back. There is far more upside in him at the back than Dugan.

Pearce, apparently signed with the knights. 4 years for trillions of dollars.

Edit... now we have extra cash get Chricton and that BenBarba kid in the ESL. He goes alright.

Crichton would be for 2019 when Gal and Lewy are gone. Signing Pearce probably wouldn't have impacted that too much.

i actually like pearcy going to newy.
Nice result really. He wanted out of Sydney, enjoy the cavity capital of Australia.
Honestly, good deal for him and now the blow torch will be aimed at Brown to see what he can get out of the team

Yeah they'll actually have a decent spine, especially if Ponga turns out to be as good as expected, which I think he will.
