Team v Sharks

[Big Marn]

I feel sorry for CNK tbh. I think he's basically played the same as last year (I imagine the stats would show this) and he's being criticised because the team sucks.

All effort, high work rate FB in a good team - "He's exactly what we need"
All effort, high work rate FB in a shit team - "We need more spark"

I have little faith that we take a quantum leap forward on the "spark" front with a 31-turning-32 RTS next year either

hes missed a few games this year. 16 played. But averaging 200+m a game and 4.13 tackle breaks a game. RTS from the centre position is 4.20 tackle breaks a game, but he did move about in the backline so hard one to compare.

@sup42 Have you got evidence that CNK "demanded" to only be fullback? He seems like a selfless player from the outside looking in.

In general, is TMM injured or just in the Johnson's back so we can only play the running 6 now so left right out camp?

I think you will find most people who don't want CNK @ full back still want him in the team.
I said centre or a running 5/8. It's not a direct attack on CNK's abilities more so the style we play as a team.
CNK being that workhorse / effort guy does not suit us especially with our mediocre halves and slow backline. CNK style suits a faster team like the Titans or Manly.

You look at the Raiders and how Ricky dropped CNK to cup, CNK didn't like that one bit and ended up coming over here after that. Ricky must of seen something in Charnze that told him he's not a full back.

Just what he said in the media when his return to the Warriors was announced he said he agreed to the deal on the basis he would be at fullback.
He is a selfless person I agree but I guess he knows what is best for him personally and advocated for his career which I have no problem with until the team interests supersede a players wishes.

Martins listed with a neck injury and no specified recovery time.
