Now I really don't want this to be much to do with the player, my point is with Sheens f**king blokes over. The kid has done alright, and will continue to improve if given a chance. Still not convinced he hasn't lost a few yards of pace though.

"I just want to play my position fullback while I can and what happens in the future happens," he said. "My game relies around speed and hanging tight around the forwards and providing speed around the back. I really like the club and I'm enjoying my football here. It's a great culture and such a tight group."
Here's a guy who was stuck on the wing, despite it being painfully obvious to everyone that he quite simply isn't one. Why is it that a few punters on here said years ago that Shannon plays quite effectively through the middle, stepping big boys and looking to get on the back of the work of others, yet the super coach thought he'd try and get him running over current day NRL wingers.
It's just as stupid as playing Farah or Benji on the wing. It was never his game, so why was he played there?
More importantly, why is it still happening? Josh Davis in the pack? Pritchard on the Wing? Lui at 7? Moltzen at 1? Can someone please explain to me how this man has a job?
