Semi Radradra: The Crystal Ball Thread

[27EELS]

I’m gonna be disappointed if We don’t get Him , He is one of my All time faves but Sivo is a Beast as well , stoked We got Him.

 

[Twizzle]

Media saying $800K so its probabaly more like $500K which is near enough to what he was on with us previously.

If our forwards are sorted I would still take him in a heartbeat. Whether he is better than Sivo or not is subjective and irrelevant for mine, why cant we have both if we can afford them both ?

I'd have Fergo at the back end Guth to centre, Jenko as back up. Thats a stronger backline that we have now.

I agree, O'neill has to get aggressive in adding talent to this roster.

I'd love to see him back at Parra but I'm not sure where you'd put him.

Oh we could find room

 

[ram raid]

I'd love to see how he goes at fullback. I'm pretty sure he'd be devastating, it's just a question of weather he can read the defences and 'extra five-eight' stuff todays fullbacks are expected to do.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

There's no time to bludge at fullback either. It's a high-workrate position, which is why there aren't many (if any) over 95kg. Huge fast dudes like Radradra can't go flat stick for 80 minutes, which is why they play on the wing. They can still get their 15-20 carries without wasting gas on all the off-the-ball stuff fullbacks need to do.

In that case, what's your thoughts on Fergy at fullback?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Don't like it

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Additionally there is nothing stopping wingers like Ferguson / semi coming in and being a “fullback” in some set plays on either side of the field.

Semi did it and pretty sure we have used Ferguson in that role too.

You just don’t want them wasting energy following the ruck all game for the odd opportunity

 

[Noise]

Me neither.

Dosent Fergys contract expire end 2020? That being the case its one for one. Simple.

I thought we signed him for 3 years...

Poo? You may be right.

No one is arguing that a winger cannot be a 'fullback' at times in set plays, the issue being discussed is where/how do you fit Fergy, Sivo and Semi?

[Poupou Escobar]

Ferguson can play centre. He's wasted there but if you had to fit him into a team with Sivo and Radradra those two would be the wingers.

 

[Bandwagon]

Semi could also play centre. It'd be a bit of a learning curve for him, but not outside the realms of possibility.

 

[hineyrulz]

It’s a handy problem to have.

 

[yy_cheng]

What's wrong with Semi or fergo playing mau's spot?

During the course of the year, there are bound to be injuries. Like fergo and mj this year and gutho in previous years

So instead of takas or will Smith coming in....
