While we’re wish-listing… of all the guys not named Cleary, Moses would be the one to target.
I think he's a fullback. He looked good there in 2021 for the Storm.Problem is I don’t think Hynes is suited to being the non ball dominant half. He averages 108 running metres per game which is down from 148m last year, it’s just unheard of for a halfback to be taking on the line that much, for context Shaun Johnson has never averaged more than 83m per game in any season.
In state of origin 1 this year, he ran the ball a whopping 29 times which is an absolutely insane number for any player let alone a halfback.
This is what makes Bellamy so great. Everyone talks about how he's always got an amazing spine - but he makes those spines, too. And finds/manufactures all the pieces around them that they need to succeed. And finds a brand of football that makes them fire when they need to. He's the goat in my book.I think he's a fullback. He looked good there in 2021 for the Storm.
Hughes got manufactured into a halfback from a fullback by Bellamy, but that doesn't mean every other coach can do it or every other player can do it.
Fullback to 5/8 would be easier.
slotmachine just speculating I think. It’s unlikely the Sharks would sign him up for so long then try to punt him. I don’t think he’d be likely to leave unless he requested it.Hynes really available?? Would complement our spine to a tee!!
No pressure because Ponga is the main man and can leave the halfback duties to Gamble/Cogger. If we get him at a cut price rate, wow.
