odavis hasnt been the odavis we know for years


he hardly even plays now, you cant rate him on his OLD class

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.
he is a Experienced Fullback but i would not use the word fantastic.i'ld just leave it as Experienced Fullback.

Shifcofske. hmmm

Lockyer isn't a fullback anymore... in fact he has always been a 5/8th.

And since then, it is Schif is best fullback all round.

Minichello is a great attacker, but not best all around.

The Queensland selectors are on the XXXX... they have no idea and this is why Queensland lose SOO so often these days.

O'Davis is honestly way way way past his best
never rated him at all
Peachey has played well, but its 2 or 3 games, i mean how can he jump to the top 5 off purely 2 or 3 games, for the past 2 years he has been rubbish
Minichello is a winger, a good attacking player and thats why he is in the aussie team, any other country team would have him at wing because they would need a decent defencive fullback, australia can afford the luxuary to not having to worry about that as they are rarly tested

O'Davis is getting old. But he is better then most fullbacks in the comp.
Minichello is a better player when in Fullback mainly because he gets involved more. His support play is top notch. Peachey i think needs to keep performing, although he did outplay Shifcofske when the went at it.

Some people here rate Fullbacks for some strange reasons as to why they are their best. Eac has his own Valid opinion.

But i as you , when comparing ANY player in ANY position, you must consider all parts of their game. When noting Who is the best ever, are we talking about Attacking Wise, Defensively, Etc. Etc.

Lockyear, is one of the greatest ever players, and Fullbacks to play the Game. Attackingly brilliant, Defensively Very good, Positional play very smart.

Mini Attacking ok, Running Superb, Defensively, Super. Positional play good, Composure at short kicks with pressure, Abysmall. High kicks under pressure, never testes.

o Davis, all parts of his game are perfect, he has not played much football, but in Attack, Support, defence, positional play they dont come as complete. He aint as flashy which is what some of you prefer ?

i mean come on, Wesser, peachey in the same class as Locky.. Get a grip.

Wesser scores many tries and is a speed merchant. he is improving, but handling is poor, defensively, poor.

Same goes for Peachey.

Hornby, Luke Phillips, O Daivs , Schifcoske these are what you call complete Fullbacks. In all aspects of the game. Super.
Mini is better than most of these guys in Some parts of his game, but not Overall.

Whats the problem with Hodgson? No one rates him?

What has he done wrong this year that doesn't deserve him being rated?

Brett Hodgeson hasn't done anything for mine..

I think Lockyer, before he switched to 5/8, was the best fullback at the time. Closely followed by Minichiello.

Billy Slater would be good, if he didn't drop so many balls. Same goes with Andrew Walker (although both are good underneath a high ball)

Have you watched any tigers games this year? :shock:


Hey may not be the first second or third best. But he's been OUR best behind skandalis consistently this season. He's been an outstanding pick up for us.
