Uate as Fullback..

[Coastbloke]

Yes or No..

Possible..??

OK, We've been saddled with Boyd, but he can play Wing..

It's been mooted / suggested / inferred - there are definite fans of the concept..

Will this be the discussion of the off season...??

"saddled"

"saddled"

I think I may be seeing your point..

Deja Vu...??

 

[Rolla]

I definitely think he should get a run there next time that Boyd, Gids, Wes and Pete are all injured.

 

[Rusty]

No. Bennett has already stated he will play at fullback for us in 2012.

Boyd is a footballer, which is what you need at fullback. Someone who just knows the game perfectly. Uate is athlete part footballer, which makes him perfect for the wing. I still don't have great confidence in Uate under the high ball.

Good point..

We haven't dumped Wes have we...

After all the Wayne Bennett f*#k offs a la Brian Smith I forgot we actually kept some players..

5th choice fullback at the club.

1st choice winger in the world.

Tough decision where to play him...

 

[RHCP]

Coastbloke the sequel disappoints.

 

[perverse]

the master baiter strikes again.

 

[Yosh]

Lol

 

[timka4]

the master baiter strikes again.

i knew he was baiting, but its a pretty legit discussion off season discussion.

 

[aqua_duck]

I know Boyd is no Shannon McDonnell but I've heard he goes ok

Think you missed his little punny there mate.

He's obviously not in the same class as junior burger, but we'll have to make do.....

We have never had so many options at fullback - hard to remember we had to move Gidley there because we had no one else a few years ago.

We now have Boyd, Gids, Mata'utia and both Naiqamas as genuine firstgrade chances and we have Morseau, Mann and Pat and Sione Mata'utia who have played for their state or Aus as fullbacks.

 

[Coastbloke]

I'm not trying to create a stir..

Owning you blokes last off season is good enough..

I'm just putting it out there as there's been some discussion about a possible positional switch..

 

[Matt23]

I'm just putting it out there as there's been some discussion about a possible positional switch..

Yeah, whereabouts?

 

[Coastbloke]

Here and there..

Can't recall off the top of my head..

I've talked about Uate at fullback, and for years Uate listed his position as fullback/winger because he was a fulback before he joined the Knights.
I've seen him play a little bit of fullback in the lower grades, and he loves getting involved and calling for the ball.

It will never happen now, but it would have been great to see him being twice as involved in attack as he is now.
