Rumours and Stuff

Worth noting that IF Fogerty comes straight in and is our starter next year, then we need to be a little patient. It normally takes a bit of time for these guys to make the step up and get up to speed in the NRL.

Are you predicting a scapegoat ?

You know we won't be.

If the fog makes a fist of the no. 7, where do we play the guthbus.

He'd be a waste on the wing IMO, and surely French is our fullback for years to come. Does he slot into the centres and taka becomes a bench player?

I would have said fullback for Gutho until about a month ago...

Centres, Taka to supersub? Could see him being a weapon in the backrow off the bench. Or filling in the backline in case of injury.

Guthbus to fullback and Bevan on the wing. Bev did exactly the same thing at fullback as he did wing, sniffed out tries. At this stage of his career he's equally valuable in either position

Let me start by saying how handy is Guthbus?! Its great to have a player as solid as him that can slot in anywhere really.
If Fog turns out to be a great half worth of NRL I would say Guth to centre, Bevan French I think has really proven to be too exciting a prospect at fullback to ignore.
Also, the reality is between Jennings/Taka/Gutherson there is always chance for injury.

Exactly. Great to have depth across all the backline positions.

This year when Foran and Nroman both went down, we were f**ked and had to sign Robson from another club to get through.

On the back of Kelly and Cornish being injured as well.

 

[Avenger]

Has Robson even committed for 2017?

 

[84 Baby]

Nroman (sic) both went down

That he did

 

[phantom eel]

lol.

 

[84 Baby]

Actually given what happened to Foran early in year perhaps he didn't go down often enough?

Problem is Takas form is better then jennings
Carry on

No he didn't. When he moved to fullback he scored two hat tricks - several of which were where he was backing up inside. You have to stay on your wing if that is your position. He would not have scored at least 2 of those tries against Saints (pass from Guth and kick from Taka) and all 3 against Warriors imo. (maybe the dummy half one).

I would like nothing more than to offload jennings... but it aint gonna happen unfortunately

 

[hindy111]

Jennings is a result of our board getting to cheekie with their rorting..... When we where able to hide a heap it was irrelevant but if he is costing more then 550k off cap its not greatest value.Not worse thou. He is still a 400k player

 

[Joshuatheeel]

I think we may underestimate Jennings contribution to our improved defence. He has been very good defensively.

His attack will improve once we settle on our halves.

Gutha could play hooker just to be in the team. However, he doesn't have enough speed.

Agreed. He's turned our left side defence from a weakness to a strength.
