Yeah I understand that. Just the thought of DCE kicking at Peachey for 80 minutes is scary. DWZ is easily the best fb we have available(if he’s fit).

Besides worrying about their positioning in defense fullbacks also need to constantly be talking to the defensive line and telling them where they are short. I really can’t see the peach being good at that.

I guess they try it at training and see how he goes. I'd put money on us not being 1 - 17.

He’ll lose his voice for starters if we defend the same we did against the Broncos.


Lol yep. That being said part of the shit defence can probably be attributed to having a rookie play fb despite barely playing the position before.

I’m not trying to knock Luai cause I love the kid but if you have a FB who’s only played 3 nrl games and 2 games at fb ever its going to show somewhere.

We’ll agree to disagree.

Peach on the wing would be an interesting concept, especially in a roaming role where he can pop up either side of the ruck ala Semi. I’d like to see it, probably not the week after we’ve conceded 50 & need to win, but it would be good to watch.

Close one there Marty.

Yep. This is our best 17 players we have fit. So any combination outside of moving Blake should be considered

Which makes the most obvious choice DWZ at fb where he has played before and Peach at centre where he has played before and Whare on the wing where he has played before.

Same back 5, just no one playing in a brand new position which happens to be a spine position.

How do you know they won't run out like that? Dallen has only played 20 odd games at FB anyway. So I don't mind trying other's at training. I doubt Peachey plays fullback when we line up too play

It wouldn't surprise me if that happens.

I knew I wasn't too far off when I was saying Peach should play on the wing!!!

Good chance he still ends up on the wing I reckon, with DWZ at fullback.



I apologise mate: At times it shows that I really have no idea. :cool::oops::cool:

Saw saw some footage on NRL tonight. Peach looked to be set in the centre, Dallin at the back, and I think Whare on the wing.


EDIT. According to twitter there were no cameras at training today. So sorry there.

The only way i could see this working is if dallin plays fullback in defense and drops back to catch the kicks and Peach moves from the centres in defense and fullback in attack o_O other than that it's a stupid idea. It won't happen, Clearys bombs at training under defensive pressure should put an end to it. I think betcats post of Whare to wing and Peach to centre will be how they run out.

I don’t. The whole conversation I’m in started with the comment “IF peach plays fb instead of centre that will do me”.

Emphasis on the if.

DWZ at fullback is definitely our best option. Whare on wing and Peach/Blake centres.

But I would rather see Peachey at fullback than Whare as he so far hasn't proven he is shit at it. But its a ridiculous time to try it.

Peachey roams though. There will be a time during when he is fullback.

If we are attacking inside the 20. I'd rather Peachey there he offers more.
