Rumours and Stuff

[Avenger]

The DCE rumour is bullshit by the way.

You don’t rate jp?

 

[Gronk]

Sounds like Kenny and TRex passed on a few of their leadership skills to our future stars.

Or he could have had a car accident at 9am in the rain, sober. Benefit of the doubt ?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He's a larrikin.

Not that i dont rate JP. Great kid. Great Potential. JP plays fullback and has done so all his life including through the Parra junior systems.
But if you talk to a few guys at Parra like Fieldsy or Scott Jones they will tell you the kid is a great talent but they are unsure if he will be a fullback long term. With a potential switch into the centers.
Jp has great ball skills and is loosing speed with his size.
So for that reason is why i didnt mention him.

Fair enough. At least I didnt refer to "poor culture". Am I on a warning Gronky?

Well we need an FB, RLF. our other options are disappearing fast.
Hayne. Too expensive, human headline and is always injured.
French. Not the player we hoped hed be.
Gutherson. I think his skill set is more aligned to center.
Smith. OMG please no.
Hoffman. Played well in that position in ISP but obviously BA dosent rate him there so his days are done.
I was hoping JPN might be a chance?

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

The DCE runour is bullshit by the way.

The one about him not being a wanker in real life?

 

[ash411]

The one about him not being a wanker in real life?

No the one about him being a good halfback...

You never know with Jp. So i wont disclude him just yet.
Other players who play fullback are
Jonny Fonoua
Haze Dunster
Ethan Parry

One of the best young Fullbacks iv seen would have to be 17yo - Joshua TUIPULOTU
Amazing talent.

I am also hearing whispers about young Tyler Field who plays in the halves as a possible switch or better suited as a fullback long term.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Does JP have a name? Or names?

 

[Gazzamatta]

Yep
Hyphenated too.

 

[hindy111]

Jane Evans was a good player about 3 years ago but been on a downward spiral since. I'd say BA picked him as cheap hoping to get better out of him. One can only hope he'll improve next season.

Kamacha outplayed him for Fiji

 

[Obscene Assassin]

John Paul

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

I remember watching his play against my mates old team he coached a few years back. He used to carve up back then.

 

[IFR33K]

You don’t think he could make it at 6?

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

John Paul

Excellent. So we've got a future Pope playing fullback.

I'd also add Bailey Biondi-Odo to that list for us. I've only seen him for one season but I think he's been the best half I've seen in that grade for us since I started following them in 2015. The game I was most impressed by was against manly in the semi-final. His kicking game was unreal that day and kept us in the match.

The fact that we've put him straight into pre-season with the 20's after spending a year in QLD shows how much we rate him.
