We must keep Seage.

[keeney]

He's a better fullback than either of them, that's the point. Sure Milton can do things, but he can also lose a game better than any fullback I see running around in first grade. It's just a matter of time.

Exactly right. Hinton has filled me with confidence at this stage either.

 

[keeney]

Hinton hasn't done anything that Seage hasn't done better, or more regularly. In fact he was pretty close to awful in his first couple games.

I really like Seage as a player, and must admit I jumped onto the Thaiday bandwagon at the end of last year. For various reasons Milton has slipped a fair amount over the season, and at the moment I think Seage is the nO1 fullback at the club. He's super safe at the back, perfect positionally, and can back up to score tries. I think Hinton is the long term fullback at the club, but keeping Seage seems logical ATM. He can play wing (a position that I think we'll struggle with next year) and is there if we are in trouble for a fullback. Like I said ATM I think he should be the starting fullback. He's had a stack of injuries sure, but think back when he first joined us, he was sensational in the few games he played, and all the indications are from his performances this year that talent is still there, yes sign him, we'd be crazy not to if he's ready to go into our 2nd tier cap.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

2nd tier payments should mean that we should sign him..give him a decent off season.I think he will be better next yr

I see

Seage
Thaiday
Polglase
Franze
Macdougall

Tighe would be around FG too.

Even $50k is a risky amount for this guy though.

Exactly how long does he have to play injury free before he is not seen as a "risk"? Do we carry on about Joey being an injury risk?

How about judging him on his merits? His form?

In fact, there is a fair case to say that Milton is "injury prone" at the moment - ready to not re-sign him next year?

 

[roopy]

Seage is a firstgrade standard player.
If you can sign one of them for a tenth of what we pay our top guys - why the hell not. They don't grow on trees.

 

[knights9]

His a good player and id like to see him stay. but then again we do have some good Fullbacks like Hinton, Thaiday and Wooden.

 

[Alex28]

Hinton seems a fair way off being first grade quality at the moment - could probably do with another year in Premier League. He looked a tad out of his depth in his limited opportunities. A year under Brian Smith - who has a proven track record of getting the best out of young talent - will do him the world of good.

Seage is good enough to play First Grade - Fullback, Wing or Centre. If he wants to play here for peanuts, why wouldn't we let him?

 

[Bring it home Knights]

every club struggles for depth these days. I can not see the problem with adding to the depth if we have the chance.

 

[wahoo202]

I think Thaiday would go great in the centres, and his one on one defence wouldn't be found out so much. IMO, he's also a bit suspect under the high ball. I think centre would suit him better.

 

[Yosh]

I used to think that Thaiday was our best option at full back but after seeing him come back from injury, and seeig him out agin because of injury, i dont think he is he the best opition for full back anymore. Every is saying we need a game winner in Thaiday at fullback, but I think in the finals we need a really safe player, who we can rely on and Thaiday can come off the bench for a bit or something.

Also we have Johns who can virtually create a try from anywhere. Thaiday is also not that young from what i remember, and he does get injured alot as well. So if anyone's argument is that Seage is too old and too injury prone, then i dont think that arugument stands.

Furthermore, if he is willing to get paid less then he would at KFC, i would chip into paying him.
