Will Kennedy

Where is he anyway?

Apple doesn’t fall far from tree.

Can the Sharks win a premiership with Kennedy at fullback?

Its a good question

 

[Stake Removed]

I don't think so, outside of the 1 play against Eels nothing.
Basically all season we have seen no improvement.
I think he is at his peak now.
We need speed at fullback, what compounds that is our outside backs are not the quickest

Can the Sharks win a premiership with Kennedy at fullback?

Ask the same question with Nico?
I aint convinced

Can’t really argue. Solid under the high ball doesn’t get teams worried.

More than solid under the high ball. Arguably the best fullback on bomb disposal. Needs to lift in pretty much all other aspects to be an elite FB

Sadly for Will, I feel he's peaked.
He had a good couple of seasons but, at 27, I wouldn't be expecting any major improvements in him going forward.
On the market from 1 Nov, and I'd be in no hurry to resign him.

We will resign him

We will resign him

I’d like to think they think they can do better. There’s some pretty good young talent getting around stuck behind established better fullbacks who you’d be able to get without breaking the bank. Loyalty can only go so far.

Kennedy would kill it in the super league

I kinda feel with outside backs late 20s is about their expiry date.
By that time their speed is starting to decline and they're less effective than in their early-mid 20s.

There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but unless you're an elite-level outside back, or have other assets to your game than just speed and agility, late 20s is it for me.

That's why I'm looking for an upgrade for both WK and Katoa sooner rather than later.

 

[shaggs]

I don’t see chevy Stewart on the list?

Katoa’s errors are a real issue.
I’d be happy for Stonestreet to take his place once Katoa’s contract expires - unfortunately that’s at the end of 2026…

I also think we can do better than run with WK…

Do you mean Penrith…?

I do.

Not a fan of Wayne Bennett but his says always better to move a player on a year early then a year later.

This is where we have to be careful Stonestreet is ready can we really expect him to keep waiting.
Ison will be same next year.

They need to get first grade games into them.
If we could turn Kennedy into a centre even but he is not built to handle that or into halves again I can't see him in that role
