Round 3 v Mel

[West Nowra Panther]

Not trying to fuel any conspiracy theories. I'm just suprised that Blaize would not be the "best available" fullback after Daine and Dyl. I just cant see in any world where Jenkins is in front of him (as a fullback).

I'm just going to assume, maturity, fitness and attitude are probably the best reasons.

 

[Iamback]

I'd play To'o at fullback way before Milky

Still not sure he talks up enough to set the defence

I'd just love to see him running in the middle on kick returns haha

hopefully they try that. Especially if the rain does come. Run at Nelson and get the piggy back penalty after the high shot

He'd run 500 metres.

3 things that could be used to describe say Martin or Garner or any one of a number of players in our side. It doesnt make them a better fullback option though.

 

[Fangs]

Whoever plays fullback is allowed two grace errors. This is due to the fact that there is no fullback in the named squad and they deserve some slack trying to cover such a tough position.

If they make a third error then the crucifixion can start.

I'm just going to run with the theory that you're taking the piss.
It's obvious that Martin and or Garner would never be considered for fullback, BUT, for an outside back, Milky is obviously ticking the boxes.

How about we let the coach do just that and at the same time remember, on Tuesday he named 22 players, are any of the others, barring Blaize, anywhere near a fullback.

For all we know Ivan trialled him at training and he killed it. His hunger to improve and play first grade has to be at 110% after his time at the knights.

Blaze and Jenkins are in the team photos but not McLean

Laurie was in the training pics earlier in the week. I doubt we have done a training session without him

The NRL squad is probably not going to need a fill in full back in 2-3 weeks time. It probably will need a first choice 6 though. As such, Talagi focusing heavily on that side of his game is better play in the medium term. Given its only round 3 (irrespective of the opposition) it makes sense that's how Ivan would view it.

You cannot be serious. This is too much, even for you.

Milky will be fine, he’s a big body who is good in the air. He’ll do just fine at either FB or wing.

The panic is real

Why has he been in the centres then?

Yes I believe the greatest winger I've ever seen would make a better fill in fullback than a fringe first grade winger. Shocking stuff

In his defence Jenkins has looked ridiculously good in cup with his running and contesting kicks.

 

[BossleyPanther]

Picked up a late injury at training.

This guy cant catch a break. If it wasn't for his HIA and injuries his career would have taken off alot more. Shame I really rate him.

Edwards will play Origin unless hurt in which case we need a 1.

Cole is no certainty to move out of the 6. As I said before our attack is decent enough.

Laurie plays 1 if were missing Edwards.

Theres something about Cole, but Talagis the much more skilled/talented of the 2.

Assuming he is fit.

I have watched both of Talagi's games with us not a single kick. I looked at highlights with Parra not many kicks either.

We have 1 and 9 that can't kick, The 6 needs to have some type of kick for us
