No, i Mean that he has been watched, like been ver silent in his footy. Due to the teams not letting him run with the ball.

Fittler played some good footy last year, didnt really stand out but did the little things that win the footy games

A very Underrated Fullback is Andrew Walker right now. Nobody seems to be taking notice when he has been playing very well in a losing side.

Mate as a last line of defence, safeness under the high ball, and making metres and line breaks, no one comes close to Schifcofske and you know it.
LKine brakes i dont see his name on the top 10 line breakers i see Minichiello 10 Webb 6 but no sign of Schifcofske. and hes not the best at makeing meters not even close O'Daivs,Slater,Bowen,Horby,Minichello,Wesser,Hunt,Webb,Hodgson,Walker,Watts and patten all made more meters pre hit up the Schifcofske last week.
But yes he is one of the best uder the high ball. and he does take a lot of hit ups.
These are sistiskets from last week that prove you wrong

Not true. Being a Roosters fan and having watched all the games last year i can tell you that there was a ten game period in the middle of the season when Freddy was absolutely on fire and he was very good for the rest of the year until the shoulder injury slowed him down. He had plenty of stand-out performances, a couple i wont forget were the ones against Brisbane on Good Friday when he tore them apart and the one against Penrith in Rnd 21, the same game he did his shoulder. :(

I think people tend to overlook Freddy's performances last year, with most of the media focusing on Johns, Lockyer, Gower etc. But the bottom line is he streaked all of them in the main attacking stats. More tries, more line breaks, near the top of league (if not the top) in line break assists and did top the league in try assists.

Not bad for someone who didnt stand out much. ;-)

in terms of non-rated fullbacks Ben Hornby for mine
he has carved up all year

he won our player of the year in 2003, and he is our rock at the back, Very experienced and has come on as a player. I would not replace him, even for Mini.

For Locky, I would. But Ben gives his all week in week out. Steady and very under rated.

We like it like that, keep away Selectors [-(

Schifcofske will be QLD Fullback. No Doubt about that. It's due. His a class player and everyone knows it. You don't rate him for the fact he plays for Canberra. :roll:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
not a chance...qld don't want him

Madunit, You have got to be kidding Mate.

Locky if he was still Fullback is one of the best Fullbacks EVER to play the game, in fact, I think he will be remembered as the best ever in 10 years from now.

Locky
O Davis
Mini

In that order. Mini is the current Fullback, and I love watching the kid play, BUT, His defence is very good, his running of the ball is Incredible, but he can not pick up a loose ball if his life depended on it. Too many idiots kick high to him, and never put him under pressure.

He has had it good , But not in big games, where the pressure is really on, and the Defence is in the Air with him, or along the ground.

Mini Might improve on it, But clumsy he is.

o Davis, has been all class for years.

Sight unseen, out of sight, out of mind.

Watch a few Newcastle games, and watch the guy play. he is the perfect link between backs and halves.

Fantastic Experienced Fullback.

whens the last time hes played like the "fantastic" player you quote.

really, you are kidding if you say hes all class TODAY, because
1.he rarely plays
2.there are better fullbacks
3.when he does play, NOW, hes not a shade of what he used to be

again, im talking, PRESENT TIME

Lockyer is not the greatest fullback ever. I believe Tim Brasher was better than him and Garry Jack was better than both of them. Then you have even greater players before them.

Lockyer doesn't play as a fullback in attack all the time, he plays as a 5/8. Minichiello gets the nod because he is a fullback through and through.

And it's only an opinion, don't go roasting people for having an opinion.
